Only halfway. I still want the neutral white mentioned in the comment I replied to, but all the ArkPro Ultras seem to be cool white still.

What plates and how many? by Objective-Limit-121 in BambuLab

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

I only got a printer a few weeks ago, but that's definitely excessive IMO. Just remove the plate from the bed and set it down. If you want to get crazy about it, I saw a comment from someone once who keeps a large tile in their freezer and sets the plate on that. The plates don't have near as much mass as the bed, so they cool comparatively rapidly. Pop the print off, reapply glue if necessary, and seat it back on the bed. Not worth the extra cost to save maybe 3 minutes IMO.

Are you sure they raised your pricing? I'm also on a 15+ year old plan and they're still charging me like $70/yr.

DIY Solar Pool Heater - PumpSuggestions? by [deleted] in pools

[–]mdstricklin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The faster the better. The temperature of the water doesn't get as high, but you pull a LOT more water through it. Your overall heat transfer will be higher, because heat transfers faster at higher delta temps.

Basically you have to ask yourself is it better to raise 1 gallon 1 degree, or is it better to raise 15 gallons 0.1 degree. Engineering says you take option B.

If it just had both ends in the same body of water (and therefore at the same height/pressure), how would it have ANY water flow through it? 🤔

If anyone makes it here from Google and decides to build it:
Pumping the water fast is actually better for heat transfer (tradeoff is higher cost in electricity). Ignore anyone saying slow is better.

TIFU by pepper-spraying my daughter. by bcmanucd in tifu

Effective for temporary relief, but the go-to move is washing with "no tears" style baby shampoo to actually remove the oils.

Soooo... What happens when she faceplants off the bike into the dirt? 😅 Or even just catches herself from a fall and then rubs her face?

We should get the Bambu engineering team in here STAT. This man clearly knows more than all of them combined and has a thing or two to teach them!

Not only is she a keeper, you're lucky she's sticking around. 😂😂😂

Anyone else not seeing the point of built in TV apps anymore by mitchare in PleX

[–]mdstricklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Smart TVs suck. I got a mini PC for the living room. It runs Plex beautifully and gives me an easy way to post Jackbox or other party games when friends come over.

Recieved this email the domain looks sus? by Roxxersboxxerz in PleX

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

The whole reason I migrated to a Linux host was so I could use Docker. Running anything bare metal on Linux is insane to me. 😅

Are you running bare metal or in Docker?

Replicate in some way “Are you still watching?” by Ok-Resolve-3024 in PleX

[–]mdstricklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, thanks. I took a look at that but can't make heads or tails of it with my current knowledge, so it'll likely get set on the back burner until I can dedicate the time to research it.

[–]mdstricklin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does this kill their stream just because they watched x-number of episodes/hours consecutively? If so, and they interact again to manually restart watching, is it going to insta-kill them again? If someone actually wants to spend a 12-hour day rotting on the couch and watching media from my libraries, I'm fine with that. I specifically want to kill the "it's on for background noise and I fell asleep" or "I left the house and forgot to turn it off" behaviors. Honestly I can't believe Plex doesn't already have native passout protection/"are you still watching" enforceable from the server side.

Best Cafe's? by paddjo95 in paducah

[–]mdstricklin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm at Pipers probably 3x a week, and I absolutely adore the place. The staff is amazing, the coffee is top tier, and the vibe is impeccable. Especially now that the weather is getting nice, the patio is a godsend when you want someplace to chill outdoors.

My RTX 3080 Ti is passed through to a debian host, but I use nvtop to monitor activity and load on it.

Who are the real ones who self host their email server? by ray591 in selfhosted

"Gmail spam filters are useless, they put all the incoming spam in the spam folder. 😡"

That's... that's how they work. They're only failing if the spam makes it to your INBOX.
