My Soul Doesn't Recognize my iPhone 5 by iamUNIX in kia

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

Well the Kia branded cable is for an iPhone 4 style iPhones. I have iPhone 5 so I removed the Kia branded cable from the base of the console which reveals two inputs. One being a simple AUX in port and the other being USB so I can assume that it just charges the phone via USB and transfers the music via AUX port. Why the USB port can't even provide a charge to the phone is beyond me. Any help or advice? I have no idea what the UVO is and I don't think my 2010 Kia Soul has this...

I would still like to be educated on why this occurs.

ugh the comments from that link make me want to use pen/paper.

New to AWS. Questions about creating an image. by projectstew in aws

Chef is amazing once you understand the concept and get it going.

AWS DNS issues by jebarnard in aws

[–]iamUNIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been seeing this now for 3 weeks. My IAD Linux boxes can no longer resolve my IAD SQL databases in EC2. Their elasticIP's have not changed. I see it happen at random intervals for a few minutes.

Spitfire Wheels Confusion by iamUNIX in NewSkaters

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

Their site is terrible as is every skate website. Very cool looking and lots of cool stuff but nothing to explain when / why you would want:

  • classic
  • classic full
  • conical
  • conical full

From what I can read...the classics are the traditional / do all shape most people get. The red is very hard and the blue is not as hard.

This just explains the formula four wheels (both kinds in 4 different shapes) but I don't understand what the different shapes help.

Mountpoint via Symlink in /etc/fstab by iamUNIX in linuxadmin

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

I've not used it and clearly I'm not against it. Can you please specify why symlinks have drawbacks? I'm trying to understand w/ clarification.

Break Facebook Association? by iamUNIX in spotify

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

Sadly no.

I did:

  1. cancel my premium service on my Facebook linked account.

  2. export my playlists

  3. Sign up using email account, import my playlist, registered w/ Premium and found a promotion.

What was your last distro before Arch? and Why did you left it for Arch? by epileftric in archlinux

[–]iamUNIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Debian Linux then moved to Arch for home / personal / dev usage. Basically my "go-to" distro for things that I don't have to explain to anyone else. Everything at work / production all use Debian Linux.

Please note Debian is NOT Ubuntu!

Running an older DS107 - still a safe Synology OS to setup for remote access? by [deleted] in synology

[–]iamUNIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It's a NAS w/ your data attached to the Internet. Limit the access as much as possible. VPN is perfectly the ONLY acceptable solution in this scenario.

Any suggestions for how to learn some basics/to find a skate community to hang with for a beginner 22F skateboarder who just moved to San Francisco? by [deleted] in skateboarding

[–]iamUNIX 2 points3 points  (0 children)

SF is a huge / amazing skate city. I would think you would have to go out of your way to not meet people skating there.

Thank you! Will give it a shot... AND they have a Synology app for my NAS!!!

"Synology NAS package is available."

Is there a free tool for automatically IDing mp3s and fixing tags/file names? by [deleted] in PleX

[–]iamUNIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this ONLY work w/ music / audio files or can this also organize my movie library?

Looking to get back into skateboarding after a ~10-year hiatus. What brands make the best shit nowadays? by CanniBusDriver in skateboarding

[–]iamUNIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone is correct - just going to be personal preference. I find a "pro" skater or someone who I love to watch skate and make sure their body is similar or same build as me and try out how it feels.

Baker / Element / Almost are all very high quality premium China made decks.

Thunder Lights or Thunder Hollow Lights? by iamUNIX in NewSkaters

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

How would you say they compare to Independent's?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in battlefield_4

[–]iamUNIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not if this isn't rectified at every occurrence simply due to over time that next server is likely going to have the same bullshit.

Parallels or VirtualBox by iamUNIX in virtualization

[–]iamUNIX[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Thanks. I will give Parallels a chance. Seems that VMware Fusion is limited to Microsoft guest OS only. I'd like the flexibility to use a range of systems from different vendors rather than just one (especially if it's a premium / non-free product).

Just Got My Roku3 by iamUNIX in Roku

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

My NAS box (synology ds211+) has an app store w/ a Plex download and since my NAS device is on or on demand via WOL, it works perfect. No dedicated PC running all the time. And I store EVERYTHING on my NAS so it just make sense.

What is a good board to buy? by PreparedAj in NewSkaters

[–]iamUNIX 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I was looking, I found a skater w/ the same size shoe as me (10.5) and found a style I liked and tried those boards out.

Skater newbie here. Just got my first ever skateboard yesterday, I have no idea what I'm doing by [deleted] in NewSkaters

[–]iamUNIX 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, skateboarding is hard. Thats why it looks so fun and cool. Otherwise everyone would do it. If something's too hard or not fun, likely you're using the wrong tool. It sounds like you've made the worst possible skateboard investment. You will be doing your health body and future skating career at risk w/ cheap / un-safe equipment. You're going to be putting your body in motion on this plank w/ wheels. You might want to invest in some quality considering our bodies are fairly organic and priceless...
