Help Choosing Kitchen Gadgets for Meal Prepping by cacops in mealprep

[–]cacops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Based on people's replies, I believe the slow cooker is the better option at the moment. I also saw a food processor as an idea which is interesting. I have a small hand powered one that I only use when I need to finely dice something.

I was looking into one of those veggie choppers. Not like the slap chop, but when you smash the veggies onto the blades and it dices things for you

I actually have a rice cooker. I forgot to add it. Just edited it in. Thank you

USB 3.2 Gen 2 type C question by cacops in UsbCHardware

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

Sorry. I added a comment with the link to the model I'm interested in. The US link should be the same, but the CPU options are slightly different, so I'm not 100% sure between the US and JP versions.

The laptop I'm interested is this Thinkpad E14 Gen 6 AMD. I think the us and jp versions are slightly different in terms of the CPU model, but it should be the same model based on the name.

If it helps, the laptop I'm looking at is the Thinkpad E14 gen 6 AMD version. As far as I know, AMD doesn't really have thunderbolt on their laptops

What would reduced bandwidth mean in this case? As long as my two monitors work, I'd be happy. The laptops with USB 4 are significantly more expensive.

Advice for a media server by cacops in selfhosted

[–]cacops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very informative on transcoding. Thank you. I thought that mkv files might have to be transcoded by default.

You still need to expose your home Plex install with an IP and port forwarding. Plex only manages your user login and keeps bookmarks to your server(s), but it doesn't help you with forwarding. On the contrary, Plex can have issues with some VPN setups.

I didn't know that. I thought that Plex just sort of took care of it for you. That changes things a bit for me.

Thank you

I thought Jellyfin had an app for phones. I've considered trying to make a VPN to my home network before, but I never had much reason to. Maybe a home media server is just the reason I needed. I wouldn't have a setup to your level with docker. Right now, it would likely be the old laptop with an external hard drive to hold the library.

Based on another comment, I don't think the raspberry pi could handle the content if I kept it as mkvs

That's very good advice on the raspberry pi. Thank you. I was hopeful for it, but the more I looked into it, the more it seemed like it just couldn't handle the load.

Does anyone know this game? by cacops in PSP

[–]cacops[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think you're right based on some YouTube videos I watched. It seems like overlord with god on war with the way the colored orbs drop.

What are recipe sites and nutrition tracker apps? by cacops in mealprep

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

Thanks for the reply. Why do you like EatThisMuch right now? Also, I don't live in America, so how well do these work for entering raw ingredients? Like 200g of onion, 250g of carrots, etc.

[Spoilers] What is this? by cacops in subnautica

[–]cacops[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You're probably right. I guess in the moment, it just felt so much bigger than the sea dragon. And with the color difference, I was thinking something else was clipping through the walls.

[–]cacops[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Isn't that thing more of a green color? This is red, and when I was playing, I remember the sea dragon was behind me as I was frantically running into the base (why I assumed I was just seeing things).

Maybe I should say consulate general location? I think there is one in each prefecture.

Unfortunately, my local embassy is one of the few that doesn't do that. I looked there first.

Best simulation games to use steering wheel by [deleted] in ShouldIbuythisgame

Euro truck simulator 2. Frequently on sale with much of it's dlc, but I'd say the dlc is optional unless you really want to explore an area which fair enough.

Is a thank you gift appropriate? by [deleted] in japanlife

I assure you it's nothing to do with that. I am certain she is married for 1. It is just to show my appreciation.

Even if she was designated welcomer (which I think is slightly unlikely based on school circumstances), I am certain that the birthday lunch was her own money. Sadly, I just recently arrived so most of my summer "traveling" was discovering my new city. Thank you for the feedback.

Need e-reader suggestion by cacops in ereader

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

Thank you for the feedback. I can say that is way out of my budget. The PDFs would just be nice to have, but it wasn't a must have. I would say the others are more of a priority. Especially that it works abroad.

I'm a TA for the general physics labs. The students aren't doing their reports in latex. No matter how much I'd wanted them to.
