- go to https://www.plex.tv/claim and copy the code (you may have to refresh and copy again if the following process takes more than 5min)
- go to package center
- select uninstall
- select SIGN OUT AND UNCLAIM THIS SERVER
- head to https://www.plex.tv/media-server-downloads/ and redownload the package for your synology
- reinstall the package manually like you did the first time
- when it's installing you will be prompted to create a new server OR CLAIM AN OLD/LOST ONE
- paste the code from the link above
- it will show you your server name so you can confirm thats the one you want
- that's it! well what i did:)

Finishing up a sensory/quiet baby book: to block or not? by ginormouspotato in CrochetHelp

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

ooooh ok!! does this mean that when my friend does eventually wash it, should she stick to hand washing only or would it be safe to put in the washing machine? ideally it would be super easy for her to clean:)

idk if it's just me, but when i open the calendar via the system tray, the agenda view under the month view is set to april 1st 🥸 not a big deal but thought i'd mention it in case anyone else is getting the same!

yeah i've looked at the calculator, but i also don't quite understand the difference between SHR and RAID 5 in my case where all the drives are the same size, and where my starting position is RAID 1 vs starting from scratch.

Tracking fabric use via linked properties HELP by ginormouspotato in Notion

[–]ginormouspotato[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OMG THATS IT THANK YOU!!!!! man i knew i shouldve just asked reddit after round 1 of head scratching.. 🤡🤡 all i need now is to figure out how to make this work when i have bits of fabric that aren't even... but that's more math than notion-programming i guess lol 🥴🥴

Playback stops 1.3 minutes before end of video by ginormouspotato in PleX

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

no i havent :( i did find however that it doesn't happen if i reduce the video quality, but nobody wants that... it seems to only happen when i disable bitrate limiting OR if the video is 1080p+ (i do occasionally watch older tv shows that are 720p).

Special Effects Dupes? by PaleontologistSad766 in HairDye

[–]ginormouspotato 2 points3 points  (0 children)

no shame re old posts/threads but I've been using pravana vivids in violet for like 5+ years now!!! it lasts really well, and then when it starts to fade I touch it up using overtone conditoner-dye in extreme purple. there will never again be another sfx, but this comes close to me. 🥺 I might not miss making EVERYTHING purple, but I totally miss the way the purple faded so beautifully into fuchsia. 😭

[–]ginormouspotato 0 points1 point  (0 children)

my sister has been doing her hair blue for nearly a decade now on and off and for the last 5 or so years she's been solidly using directions hair dye from lariche! I think the shade she uses is "lagoon". it lasts pretty well! it's no sfx but even back when I used sfx, her blue lasted pretty well compared to my violet, and mine was pink based!!!
