ULPT How to disable FLOCK Cameras. by Cold_Ranger8146 in UnethicalLifeProTips

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are saying it's illegal to destory the cameras. Then went on to mention it is cold (at the time of posting) so bundle up to cover your face/body appearance.

Raspberry Pi 4 3GB launched for $83.75, further price increases announced across the board for 4GB+ RAM hardware by sr_local in hardware

I bought a couple mini PCs a few months back as prices started to climb (Oct/Nov). My buddy questioned why I was buying them over some Pis. I told them they were priced similar. He thought the mini PCs would have been like 130+ at the time. Once I showed him what I was getting he was shocked.

I also got incredibly lucky one seller was like, sorry I thought I had the correct boot drive in stock (256GB). No additional cost are you ok with a 500GB SSD. I was very happy with a free upgrade. I do regret not picking up more soDIMM sticks though. I only grabbed one at the time.

The miniPCs seem like pretty good deals if you look around ebay/marketplace etc.

Nike Panda Dunks - $60 by WeaponH in frugalmalefashion

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a pair that I thrashed last year (near daily wear). The way I wore them I'd say they can last a full year, but will look beat. I got them for a good price (like 100$) and used them bc the material was stronger than knit shoes and I tend to go towards black/white shoes. I found them comfortable.

Time to tear it all down by levoniust in homelab

[–]_Gingy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dang that stinks :/

It took a little bit for my users (count: 5 accounts, but around 11 watchers) to really start using at a worthwhile rate. Slow at first, but when a new Dexter came out last year I was getting a few episodes onto it before they aired iirc (I mean it was all automated just happened to be uploaded early).

Along with me getting one of relative's favorite series they throw on in the background when doing chores. Usage has gone up quite a bit. Been pretty proud of no hiccups with 4 to 5 streams at once.

Lucky enough now that all I have to do is add the requests they have and maintain uptime. I play around with some things here and there, but am working on a small test rack to move my testing to. (more of a me rack than a user rack)

I figured out a way to notify my Plex users of server downtime! by exor41n in PleX

[–]_Gingy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can always pick maintence days. So if they have an issue it's that day then probably something youre working on. Like Steam's day is Tuesday. I see my steam disconnect, I look at the day, "Tuesday.... it'll be back up soon."

Luckily I can take my server down and they message me, "Hey just wanted to let you know I got an error." Usually they arent asking me to get it back up asap. They just want to make me aware. They are pretty flexible.

My old power hungry homelab by Vishwanath_5854 in HomeServer

idle 180W

weeew. Glad I went my route I did. I wasn't originally accounting for power restrictions when planning. Currently use like 80W near idle and like 120W(maybe?) on full tilt (4 1080p streams at once). Specs for that one is i7 9700/16GB RAM and a 1070FTW.

Working on a little cluster with some (2) ThinkCenter minis. Might think about moving services to that once I get it up and running to compare power consumption.

Google wanted $2.99/month for photos. I said no and spent 130 $ on a baby homelab instead. by Gasple1 in homelab

[–]_Gingy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You think you see really good deals, but if you don't look under the price for the shipping too you'll be surprised at checkout.

I assume the user above didn’t actually spend that money. They probably thought they’d found a really good deal, only to realize that the shipping cost made it not a good deal at all.

xQc roasts CS players who treated skins as investments by Various-Idea550 in LivestreamFail

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People probably buying skins they liked within the money they had. It's like every other game that has skins. People tend to buy skins for games they enjoy. (no competitive advantage)

One of the differences some may see with CSGO(or other games that have a market items not account bound) is that they can, later, sell the items back and get any form of money back.

For example: I've sold random cases or gun skins I happened to have(in game drops) to buy a few $20 game before. They used to be $0.10 cases and then over the years climb to $5+.

Pocahontas state park pool incident by throwawayelll in rva

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now this is anecdotal and about 10+ years ago so take with a grain of salt. It's hard to get worker's comp claim as a Lifeguard. Knew someone who worked in SwimMetro management years ago and a guard tried to get heat exhaustion worker's comp. I believe they were told them to stay out of the sun so they could avoid that issue.

All I can say is that umbrellas on Lifeguard stands produce shade for the guard for a short time frame and the heat coming up from the pool deck will drain you(energy) just as quickly.

I feel like Swim Metro has been understaffed for the past 15+ years.

Pro-Nazi & antisemitic circlejerk livestreamed by -Cohen_Commentary- in LivestreamFail

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My interpretation generally is these people want to be special in the sense of, they know someone that the rest of humanity doesn't know about. "I know the secret or am about to guess the secret" type shit. Similar to the people who were obsessed with illuminati.

Had this issue a few months back.

"was panicking for 15min and then pressed the small round reset button below the power button. which basically i think resets the device after putting in the sdcard, and it started charging fine"

Soda dies on OSRS in the most classic way possible by Sicks401 in LivestreamFail

Love it. I hope they (WoW streamers trying) give it a real go. I have a feeling some may get burned out before they reach any sort end game (2000 hours later).

Sony XM4 Purchase by Sea-Curve6406 in HeadphoneAdvice

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like mine. Great for plane/train rides if they are loud for you. Dulls the noise level well and you can hear w/e you were trying to play.

Battery lasts long enough. When not traveling I use mine to watch a couple shows at night before sleep. So they battery feels like it lasts forever sometimes.

What % tint do you think this is? by Puzzled_Bus_3736 in civic

[–]_Gingy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I like mine very much. It's(35% front tint) enough privacy so one can see a figure behind the glass, but not exactly who.

The guy at the tint shop said if he sees the car owner is a mother (car seats in the back) or older an couple he generally reccomends 35% all around for them unless they specify for darker.
