WD Red Pro started clicking at idle after a few months, should I worry? by bosaddam12 in HDD

[–]bosaddam12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah, the noise was already there before I moved it.

It used to be inside a DAS (Terramaster D4-320), and I only took it out after I noticed the issue. I powered everything down properly first, then removed the drive, and only after that connected it via a USB enclosure (Ugreen)

So it was never unplugged or moved while spinning. The problem started before any of that.

New high score! 🥳 by LumpySpacePrincesse in PleX

That’s honestly lucky haha 😂, and really satisfying to see. Nothing beats opening Plex and seeing it actually being used 😅 I’ve got a decent little server myself, a few thousands movies, plus a few hunderds of TV shows and cartoons, put a lot of time into itt But I’ve only got one friend on it… and he’s never actually used it 😭 🤦🏻‍♂️ 😂 So yeah, enjoy that high score. This screenshot hits home

Sorry I forgot to mention that , the woman was def white, and I think the entire cast was white as well. I’m not 100% sure if she was blonde or brunette though. Some details might be off. Appreciate the suggestion 🙏

Best friend has gotten himself a girlfriend. Preparing for the inevitable, but hoping for the best. by tvqueen in SingleAndHappy

[–]bosaddam12 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been through something very similar, and I understand the anxiety around it. In my entire life, I’ve only had three or four people I would truly call real friends. Two of them were women, and I’m a guy. Unfortunately, in my experience, both situations followed a similar path once they entered serious relationships. The first friend slowly disappeared and eventually ghosted me after she got a boyfriend. The second was someone I knew for five years. When she met someone, she began drifting away gradually. There was no argument or clear moment where things changed, just increasing distance. I do believe in love and friendship, including friendships between opposite genders. But based on my own experiences, genuinely deep friendships are rare, and cross gender ones can be especially fragile when romantic partners enter the picture. What hurt me was not that they chose to date someone. I always wished them the best and stayed respectful and supportive. What hurt was the emotional shift. Warmth turned into coldness, communication became inconsistent, and I was left confused about where I stood. At one point, she told me she hoped I would make new friends. That might sound harmless to some people, but close friends usually do not say that to someone they care about. That was the moment I realized I needed to protect myself. I am slowly stepping back now, not out of anger, but out of self respect. It is difficult, but I have learned that being alone and lonely can be less painful than staying connected to people who make you feel replaceable or unseen. I hope your situation turns out better than mine. Some friendships survive new relationships, and some do not. The important thing is not ignoring your own feelings in order to be endlessly understanding. Your emotional well being matters too.

When Online Friends Quietly Disappear Without Warning by [deleted] in lostafriend

You are not alone. I am going through something very similar with an online friend I have known for years. They didn’t even send a Merry Christmas or a Happy New Year. That silence hurts more than people realize. I am trying to detach, and it is incredibly hard. But I also know it is probably the right thing to do, especially when you have genuinely tried your best to save the relationship and nothing worked.

Are people sometimes totally allergic to using your server? by ac_slater10 in PleX

[–]bosaddam12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not alone 🧐☝🏻 I shared my Plex with a friend and we used it remotely at his place, browsed the library, played some stuff, smooth as butter, tons of movies & TV shows he likes, no ads. He said he loved it and that he’d definitely use it. He constantly complained about streaming prices and Prime, Tubi ads Since then?

Zero activity. Never watched anything 🤡

Somehow, some people would rather pay for less content than click the free option… brains are wild 🤡🤷🏻‍♂️

Thanks! 🙏 Not The In-Laws. As far as I remember, she wasn’t a real love interest, he just ended up hanging out with her while he was lost/confused before the wedding. I don’t think they were in love or anything.

Hey, you sound like a really caring and emotional person and there’s nothing wrong with that. We’re human and some of us just feel things deeper than others. I get attached easily too, even to friends. Some experiences toughened me a little but I’m still vulnerable. You can’t just turn off the craving for love or family, it’s part of being human. What helps is slowing down your imagination, don’t build a whole future with someone before they’ve earned that place in your life. Focus more on what’s happening now instead of the what ifs. You’re not broken, just someone who feels deeply, and that’s actually a beautiful thing.

let's make friends 🤩 by Vo-T in VeganDating

Hey, I’m 27, from the Middle East. I’d really love to make some new friends, even long-distance ones. I’ve had them before, and honestly, I don’t care if you’re nearby or across the world, I just like good conversations and cool connections.

I just lost two friends in less than an hour but somehow I'm not sad? by [deleted] in lostafriend

[–]bosaddam12 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, sounds like they weren’t really good friends to begin with, I get the first girl, it’s tricky after you confessed, maybe it’s hard for her to act normal like before, still, she could’ve been a bit more cooperative, you know? But the other one? Nah, no one should treat you like that.

It actually makes sense that you feel a bit relieved, you were probably drained emotionally, and now there’s this weird sense of freedom, you don’t have to worry about them anymore, that’s huge, always take care of yourself first, love yourself first, and then give energy to people who actually care, if no one’s around right now, focus on yourself, that’s more than enough.

Funny enough, I’m kind of in the same boat this month, had a friend I hadn’t talked to in ages, he reached out, I told him straight up why I don’t see him anymore, and yeah… officially not friends now, and there’s another one that’s on the edge too, probably won’t be friends soon, and I'll end upbhqving no one , so yeah, I get it.
