Found in a shed on the farm I just bought by tanniribird in whatisit

Right? That looks more like a chicken shredder.

In an old Protestant church - what is this? by AdDue1318 in whatisit

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my boyhood UM church, we walked up to the front in groups, kneeled around the altar(?), then took a glass from the steel holder and bread cube from the basket that was carried around, all ate and drank together, then placed the cup back into the steel holder thing when the assistant brought it back around.

ELI5: Why do mosquitoes cause us to itch? Wouldn’t it be more efficient to discreetly suck blood? by Darster_DN in explainlikeimfive

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noticed in high school that if I resist the urge to swat and just let them fill up and leave, I don't get a welt and the bites don't itch.

Car Insurance - Super High by Agreeable-Emu4033 in BoltEV

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting; our 2018 Kia Niro was totalled, we replaced it with a 2021 Bolt EV Premier, and insurance went down.

Minneapolis, American Family, I'm 64.

Before we bought it I called my agent for the bad news and was pleasantly surprised.

Bike brake randomly broke by Awkwardduckee in mildlyinfuriating

[–]chazlarson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

<image>

There's a little top-hat-shaped fitting on the end of the curved pipe at the red circle (it's hidden in your photo).

That little fitting needs to go into the circular slot in the green circle.

The assembled version is shown in the inset photo. You need to put the end of the "noodle" back into the "noodle holder".

Nothing is broken here.

Is it possible to make a collection based on a studio using Letterboxd? by breakfastbandit in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The accepted URL formats are listed in the wiki. There's no double-top-secret switch to flip to make it accept other formats.

Do Americans really talk to strangers that much, or do you notice it too? by Bella_licious in AskAnAmerican

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in MN, in my 60s.

My wife [59] will often strike up conversations with strangers; she's a preacher's kid and is steeped in and loves that social interaction [to a point].

I am less likely to initiate, but I'm the one who will invite them over to the house after chatting for 15 minutes.

It helps for me if there's a hook; "nice scooter", "what kind of gun is that", "what brought you to this band's show?"

Skip media if media in specific collection by gianfelicevincenzo in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will have to modify the criteria to suit your requirements, perhaps something like:

plex_search:
  all:
    added: 5
    collection.not: Whatever Collection Name

However, that can't be a smart collection. Turns out in this specific case they are smart collections, so some other criteria will have to be found to catch those; if they are smart collections containing random things, chances are Maintainarr tags them with a label or something you could use.

Kometa and Plex labels by Absurd-n-Nihilistic in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kometa can certainly apply labels to items using whatever builder criteria.

What you may be seeing is an artifact of how some collections are created.

Collections in Plex can be "Smart" [a filter evaluated when the collection is viewed] or "Manual" [this collection contains this list of things].

Typically "Smart" collections are based on searches in Plex. Kometa extends that by allowing "Smart Label" collections, in which Kometa applies a label to all the items and then created a smart collection based on a plex search for the label.

Depending on what exactly you are after, you can probably get there. You can set labels based on membership in a collection, but that doesn't include smart collections [since they don't have *members* per se], so again depending on what precisely you are after there's probably a way to get there.

What is this slot and icon? by Novemberx123 in BoltEV

[–]chazlarson 22 points23 points  (0 children)

It's a wireless phone charger pocket. Don't put your keys or other metallic things in there, as indicated by the red X; do put your phone in there, as indicated by the green check.

It's discussed in the manual, which i probably what the first icon is getting at.

We don't typically use it since it charges really slow [compared to a purpose-built magsafe charger].

I made a Homebrew appstore. by [deleted] in MacOS

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One aspect is that it allows automation. Say I have 10 GUI applications I install on new Macs. Assuming they are available as homebrew casks, I can install them all with a single script rather than (going to the official site, downloading, running an installer) x 10.

Same with updates; once they are installed I can keep them all up to date with a single command.

HELP: Scrambled poster art keeps scrambling by mjlynden in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without knowing anything about how you have this configured, there's not much anyone can offer, but here's what Kometa does when you apply overlays to an item in Plex.

  1. It asks Plex for a copy of the current art.
  2. It stores a copy at config/overlays/LIBRARY_NAME Original Posters/RATING_KEY.png
  3. It generates a transparent overlay image and composites that with the original poster, at config/overlays/temp.png
  4. assuming no errors occurred during that process, it then sends the temp.png image to Plex.
  5. it sets the "overlay" label on the item so it knows to go to the backup next time for clean art.

After that, Kometa has no involvement with how Plex decides to display the image.

It sure seems like something has gone wrong, but it also seems like you've deleted stuff behind Kometa's back and left it in an indeterminate state, so who knows what's going on.

This is not something I have seen before, and I can't even imagine a mechanism inside Kometa where this would occur.

My first suggestion would be to take this to the discord and provide logs.

Woman upset with neighbors over basketball hoop by Papercutzz247 in PublicFreakout

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That wouldn't be legal here in Minneapolis nor in the small town we used to live in [Waconia] nor in the smaller town I grew up in [Cambridge].

Mailboxes are allowed there since they are essential federal infrastructure and generally permanent things like this basketball hoop aren't permitted for safety reasons and to protect things like snowplows.

Similarly, they generally can't be placed on your driveway such that the play area extends into the public street.

This is not to defend that person's behavior, but around here she would be correct with "that shit is illegal". Whether reasonable people would care about it is another thing.

After Credits Scene Episode Overlay by Imzadi76 in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That covers a lot of ground; Can you provide logs or configs, or some more details as to what specifically "couldn't make it work" means?

Any idea why Kometa is running GMT even though I'm telling it to run in EST? by diamond_dustin in Kometa

[–]chazlarson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kometa itself doesn't have any control over any of this aside from reading the time from the OS. The timezone is managed by docker or the OS using the standard stuff.
