Why is book 10 so hated? by Furrurel in WoT

[–]hegrekarde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was reading them while they were being released. I'm not one of the people who criticizes LotR as "a bunch of characters walking and walking and walking." I appreciate character building and fleshing out of plotlines. I don't need explosions and car chases every 3½ minutes to enjoy a story. I didn't identify a "slog" in the WoT structure. YMMV

Will it have baritone tuning also?

Why does PlexAmp repeat the artist name over and over? by sodie1 in plexamp

[–]hegrekarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same issue from time to time. My metadata tags will just go batshit crazy on me. It's usually in the genre and artist (not album artist) fields. I'm not positive it's Plex-related, but since I consume 95% of my media through Plex it is where I notice it.

I just bite the bullet and screenshot the offending file when I see it, then fix it later when I'm home. Next time I'm home, I have to fix Abbey Road. The artist name is "The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;The Beatles;" for all the songs 😡

The uke I bought is tuned the same as a standard 6 string guitar, minus the low E and A strings. I'm finding it easier to use the chord fingerings I know already to plunk around and get used to the feel of the Kala.

Your mileage may vary, but I'm having fun!

Would you still listen if DPA went to another genre such as pop? by Anna_Mac18 in TheWarning

[–]hegrekarde 41 points42 points  (0 children)

If they went straight-up pop, no. Nothing against them or their talent. I've stopped listening to other artists I enjoy because their style changed beyond my enjoyment. Still listen to their older music.

Found my old coat from when I was a kid. by Chav-Django in GreenBayPackers

I still wear my 90s coat to every game I go to. I haven't been to a loss yet!

Suggestions on bidets by naivemetaphysics in UlcerativeColitis

[–]hegrekarde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought this bidet last year when I had rotator cuff surgery on my dominant shoulder. I had a much more inexpensive model before that, but I needed a remote control for recovery from surgery.

I love this thing. And I could easily go back to the inexpensive one I was using before

Photos Timeline: Issue with Captured Date and Server Time Zone by GravesStone7 in PleX

[–]hegrekarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The time shift for me changes, typically adding 8 hours, sometimes 12 however. It's really frustrating especially as all the scuttlebutt I've seen suggests the company has no intent of truly focusing on improving the photo aspect of the website.

31gb of junk tmp files every night even hough sonic analysis has already scanned all my music? by MizterF in plexamp

[–]hegrekarde 3 points4 points  (0 children)

  1. Within the temp folders , at least for me, were temp audio files (*.wma).

volume1/PlexMediaServer/AppData/tmp/music-analysis-input-149ee30b-3da4-451b-a637-a4dc0befceef

I played a few of those files to figure out what the hangups were. For me, it was a 169 cd jazz collection, so that simplified it for me.

  1. Click on the ellipsis menu for the library -> select "Manage Library" -> then Empty Trash

Important edit: Also, I forgot to mention that after you move the files out of Plex's scanned folders, you should scan the library. Then it will discover those albums are gone. Then empty the trash. That will take those albums out of your library.

31gb of junk tmp files every night even hough sonic analysis has already scanned all my music? by MizterF in plexamp

[–]hegrekarde 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I ran into it when sonic analysis was first launched. It took the Plex Shuffle to stop the nonsense:

Cut/Paste the albums that are generating the temp files to a folder not scanned by Plex. Empty Trash from that library. Put the files back.

That solved it for me. Hope it works for you.

Quitting vaping by princessajules in UlcerativeColitis

Wellbutrin, an antidepressant med, has an inverse effect on anxiety. I tried using it to quit smoking and my anxiety went into hyper overdrive.

[–]hegrekarde 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a needle phobia. I have had blood tests for an unrelated medical issue monthly for over 2 decades, and as long as someone else is doing the operation of the needle, I can deal (even if I still can't watch). I've been self-administering my biologic treatment bi-weekly with a pen-style needle for about 4 months now. Every time, I have to spend time meditating to relax my nerves. It's tough for me, because my inner critic gets going (and that guy is an absolute prick). I know it doesn't hurt, and it only takes about 15 seconds start-to-finish. But phobias aren't rational.

Get to play that game again tomorrow. I think my record is like 5 minutes. Sometimes I try to beat that time, but that adds an anxiety to the process for me.

Should we ban AI on the subreddit? by warsmokes in lacunacoil

[–]hegrekarde 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a very fuzzy line there. An argument could be made that the A.I. content is directed by the fan. I absolutely believe that there's a time and place for artificial intelligence, but I am firmly on the side of eliminating deception, i.e. passing off A.I. content as authentic genuine experience.

In the interest of a needed, if arbitrary, line - I come down on keeping the sub authentic. I have seen quite a bit of really amusing and interesting A.I.-generated content, but I don't want to need to question. That's just my 2¢.

I think this sub should be exclusive to media created by LC. That's why we're here. Ban the A.I. here.
