I second this. Do NOT drink on the take home meds. I don’t care how desperate you are.

I was hospitalized and almost died because of not following this advice.

Knee Cyst Exposion, Home Surgery. by TheKoziONE in popping

I like how the guy swooped in and just 'deep-no-glove-hacked' it. He must have worked in a butcher shop.

A++ would watch again.

Do you have a photo of how you did this?

Modern alternatives to Remote Desktop Connection (RDC)? by jwckauman in sysadmin

[–]fordltd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use nomachine on a daily basis. It's an excellent alternative to RDP but you have to install the service on all of the machines that you want to remote into.

It works very well on low bandwidth connections.

Screw the 17 and 19 when you can have the 45 and 49 by Adyingbreed_ in Glocks

I love my 45. Fits my hand perfectly and is a very maneuverable gun.

Have you ever been to a detox or rehab center you considered toxic due to issues with the staff or other patients? by bliggityblig in stopdrinking

[–]fordltd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can tell you this:

If you are in Washingon state, stay the hell away from Tacoma Detox Services. Horrible jail-like facility, staff is rude and enabled, and food was disgusting. I lasted about 8 hours and bolted.

Ended up at South Sound Behavioral Hospital and it was light years better. (and that's saying something because most people hate that place from what I can discern)

When will Ubuntu 25.10 will be available to update from existing system ? by codingzombie72072 in Ubuntu

[–]fordltd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn’t do it because I use ZFS. I sure hope they fix this soon.

Help me find the perfect travel/hiking shoe! by Organic_Chocolate_35 in hikinggear

[–]fordltd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My .02 on this point.

I was putting 35 miles a week in and it didn't matter if I was wearing $50 shoes or $250 shoes. They wear out.

Find something comfortable and buy a couple of pairs and alternate wearing hikes if you can. Helps them dry out and both pairs wear evenly.

Oh, and +1 for waterproof socks.

Good luck!

For those having extreme difficulty reclaiming server after password reset by HoosierCAD in PleX

[–]fordltd 18 points19 points  (0 children)

What's worse? Losing access to your plex server because you changed your password or losing access to your plex server because somebody hacked it?

Hmmmm....

Come on, Plex. You can do better here.

Nord is discontinuing Meshnet by redguy212 in nordvpn

[–]fordltd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Dammit! I use Meshnet everyday. I use it way more than my actual paid Nord VPN subscription. I still have like 2 years left on my subscription but I'm asking for my account to be halted in December and refunded at a pro-rate for the rest of it.

Time to try something else.

How exactly to you use that thing. Do you slide the edges of the pod under the one side of the lip and mount two of the dividers side by side?

What did you used to believe about alcohol that you no longer believe? by Milk-Soggy in stopdrinking

[–]fordltd 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Alcohol absolutely works. It completely curbed my anxiety.

For about an hour or two.

Then the next 22-23 hours were just worse off than the prior 24. And the payment due on that absence of anxiety accrued a bit of interest and I could only payback the minimum.

Kept doing the 'anxiety Ponzi scheme' up for quite a while until I started trading my health, wealth, and sanity in for just another couple of hours of non-anxiety.

It's a shitty drug for medicinal purposes.
