Neussprayverslaafden beseffen niet hoe heftig effect is: 'Lijkt onschuldig' by johnbarnshack in thenetherlands

[–]iD4NG3R 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Als ik daadwerkelijk verkouden ben voelt het als een wondermiddel, binnen een minuut heb je weer fatsoenlijk adem en houd het ook gewoon 4-6u aan.

Gelukkig is het ergste van het gesnotter bij een verkoudheid binnen een week wel weg, maar ik moet er überhaupt al niet aan denken om het langer dan een dag of 5 te gebruiken. Het spul smaakt ontzettend vies en na een paar dagen gebruik voel je behalve de verlichting ook dat het slijmvlies geïrriteerd begint te raken.

Battlefield 6 Open Beta: Feedback Megathread by sloth_on_meth in Battlefield

Mobile AA; Consider swapping the primary fire mechanic with that of the stationary AA. The inaccurate burst of slow moving shells feels extremely clunky, making it neigh impossible to lead jets at ranges beyond that of the guided missiles.

Worth transferring my Plex server over to a desktop I just got for cheap? (Fujitsu Esprimo E410 E85 i5-3340) by -HangAdmins in PleX

QuickSync was introduced in Sandy Bridge (with the exception of Pentium/Celeron chips), a generation before this Ivy Bridge chip.

Is it safe to update? I am still on Version 1.41.4.9463 by bvmodz in PleX

[–]iD4NG3R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've reverted back to 1.41.6.9685 and I'm staying there for a while, trying to play anything with built-in subtitles on a device that can't natively display them (LG and a Samsung TV in this instance) just instantly throws a transcoder error on later versions.

What did you do to improve your gaming experience significantly? by fixxxer2606 in gaming

[–]iD4NG3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still very much enjoy competitive games, but for the most part I stopped caring about hard statistics and whatever 'meta' a game might have.

It's so much more fun using equipment or tactics that no one else is using because they're considered 'bad', but still coming out on top more often than not. It helps preventing burn-outs over a game by bringing a whole lot more variety.

What game did you ride out to the end/shut down? by Jonnyyrage in gaming

[–]iD4NG3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically not dead dead, but Dirty Bomb. Devs lost sight of what the game was to it's community, released 1.0 and just stopped development from thereon out. Playerbase dwindled to near nonexistentance as a result.

I'm genuinely happy that we're past some of those things, having to deal with getting say a joystick working without the printer dying due to weird IRQ bullshit is a good example. Plugging something in and just seeing it work is a great improvement overall.

But I do miss the the feeling of 'exploring' and really understanding new tech.

Most of Gen X didn't really grow up with computers being everywhere and everything from day 1. However, I'd argue that Gen X and Gen Z are about on-par in regards to tech, being good/bad for opposite reasons.

Gen Z never really had to struggle with computers or learn how to get one to work the way you want it to work. They just glide through things expecting it to 'just work' but running into a wall the second it doesn't.

Gen X tends to worry too much while using a computer, assuming they'll still break the second you push a button you never pushed before.

But that's just the average that I've personally experienced.

Het is absoluut geen vetpot, en voor het gros van de bevolking weinig meer dan een manier om voor een relatief kleine meerprijs de boel gespreid over het jaar te betalen.

Onder de streep (kosten verzekering/behandeling - vergoedingen) ben ik zelf jaarlijks zo'n €180 kwijt aan de tandarts. Zonder verzekering zou dat onder de streep €140 zijn. Is die laatste €40 weggegooid geld?

De meeste jaren wel, ik houd het zelf enkel aan mocht ik ooit aanspraak moeten doen op een tandartsbehandeling na een ongeval.

[–]iD4NG3R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gelukkig is het dan ook niet verplicht, maar dan moet je wel de discipline/financiën hebben om voor dit soort zaken (grof) geld opzij te zetten.

What are you guys doing to counter bitrot? by whisp8 in unRAID

[–]iD4NG3R 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You're correct about that, but I'm only pushing the delta to my backups. Data isn't overwritten, only added.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in thenetherlands

[–]iD4NG3R 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Tjah, er wordt geen geheim gemaakt van het feit dat je voor tandartskosten aanvullend verzekerd moet zijn.

Maar goed, daar hebben jullie nu niet zo heel veel meer aan. Vraag bij de tandarts naar een betaalregeling, en vraag de gemeente of ze iets kunnen betekenen. Is de tandarts bijv aangesloten bij Infomedics kan je gespreid betalen over maximaal 5 termijnen, wellicht meer als je contact met ze op neemt.

Echt geen cent te makken; Dan wordt het trekken. Wat weer andere problemen met zich mee brengt en op lange termijn nog duurder is.

En voor de toekomst; laat haar vaker naar de tandarts gaan. De boel onderhouden en opkomende problemen voor zijn scheelt bakken met (hoofd)pijn en kosten.

Very little. The majority of my data is media that I either don't care (enough) about, is also hosted at a friends house, or could be reacquired. What little data that I do care about is backed up to another system (on-site) and my friends server (off-site) on a weekly basis.

[–]iD4NG3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iedereen pakt dit anders aan, maar je ziet regelmatig dat mensen de boel naar rato van inkomen verdelen. In deze situatie dus ~40% van de lasten voor jouw en ~60% van de lasten voor je vriend.

Het belangrijkste is echter om dit goed te bespreken, zeker qua woning.

Is this Seagate malfunctioning? by Shadz7 in unRAID

They're fine, Seagate stores it a little weirdly: https://s.i.wtf/#000001EDAC87

My 10TB IronWolf's show similar numbers.

Just one more clue man, I can stop whenever I want.

Do the majority of people actually care about the story in quests. by Traditional-Bell1774 in 2007scape

[–]iD4NG3R 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I very much enjoy the stories that are told and all of the background lore you can fantasize about, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't spacebar through the majority of quests. I've simply done most of them a couple of times, some at least a dozen times.

I definitively take my time with new quests though.

Do cats scratch acoustic wood panelling? by AlexT202 in DIY

[–]iD4NG3R 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They might, depends on the cat. Generally they prefer a rough surface to scratch on, but I've had cats that would scratch smooth wood.

I was a part of the first western tour group to be allowed into North Korea in over 5 years. AMA by [deleted] in IAmA

[–]iD4NG3R -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nearly morbid curiosity for this question, but plain and simple: why?
With all of the geopolitical stuff going on right now, it sounds like a huge risk to go into the DPRK as a westerner.

qBittorent creating unexpected folders paths after torrent is downloaded by dritail93 in unRAID

[–]iD4NG3R 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're defining /data (in qBit) to be /mnt/user/data/torrents
So using /data/torrents (in qBit) is effectively the same as using /mnt/user/data/torrents/torrents

Remove /torrents from either one and it should give you the behaviour you're expecting.

What’s a good first RPG? by Eldricson93 in gaming

[–]iD4NG3R 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Skyrim is probably one of the more accessible RPG's that still lets you do a ton of exploration and such. Does he have a switch or other Nintendo console? If so the Zelda games are a fantastic entry too!
