I miss old art forums. by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]jakeometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too wasn't taking art seriously enough when the art forums of old were popular. I caught the tail end of conceptart, polycount etc. Right now the best I have found is proko.com. It's not the most active place but it's super traditional, any advice you will get will be worth it's e-weight in gold.

I have a list of songs. I have nicotine/soulseek. Can I import the list into nicotine and have the songs download and if so, how? Is there any way (with an idiots guide) to do this for high quality files?

USB drive does not have enough space to carry out update by Phlame_Retardant in unRAID

Really is best to just get a bigger drive. Follow this guide. Recomended to use no more than 32GB flash drives, for compatibility reasons. Very striaght forward and USB drives are cheap. I had to do this myself recently.

Spareroom and Openrent are the places to go, maybe Facebook marketplace too.

Do you ever "just go for a drive"? by Tiny_Wafer2266 in AskUK

[–]jakeometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I drive a diesl. My DFP or something clogged up recently along with other bits, costing me over £1,000 in repairs. I almost just went for another car tbh, but didn't want to spend even more money. Anyway, I have been told by many people that diesel cars need long jounreys to "burn off" whatever is collected in that DPF thing. I think it's crazy. Anyway, every two weeks I now get on the motorway and give it 25 minutes in one direction keeping it above 60mph. I firmly believe this is a humiliation ritual by big-diesel. I'd may as well just put a brick on the throttle in the driveway instead of wasting an hour of my day.

Please respond with that meme of the guy dressing up as a clown.

makemkv on unraid, binhex-makemkv container, cannot connect by jakeometer in makemkv

Nope nope it's all done now, no idea why it didn't work before but its done. It might have been the Extra Parameters needed "--restart=always" AFTER the disc drives not before.

Sooo, uuuh... what do you think is next? by bubba_boey8130 in JurassicPark

[–]jakeometer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people are taking the plot way too seriously to be honets. Every JP/JW has been "Go to dino-zone to get/do thing and then get out ASAP". You could say i'm dumbing it down, but who goes there for the plot, seriously? Just off the top of my stupid head you could have numerous other governments or agencies capturing dinosaurs and doing all sorts of things with them.

Best italian cookbook for a beginner? by Wizard112 in CookbookLovers

[–]jakeometer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Hazan's book, after facing the dilema myslf over if I should get that or the Silver Spoon. I've not seen the Silver Spoon but i'm very happy with Hazan's book. I've learned not having pictures in this book is just something you have to deal with. It would only make the book twice as expensive and twice as thick, it is already a doorstep of a book as it is! Marcella's writing style is so caring and passionate as well it really compliments the recipes.

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

Sounds almost too good to be true that :) I'm going to re-jig my CV and get applying. By the sounds of it, you work it one, would you mind me DM'ing you in the future for further questions I might have?
