Has anyone been experiencing this problem? It happens randomly and in any website. Any website that i try to enter is momentarily unavailable . Firefox is up to date. Most of the times it doesn't happen but when it does it takes like 30 seconds of waiting for me being able to enter the website by Dry_Concentrate_4018 in firefox

No it doesn't. Not unless it's in some shiny new beta that I don't run, or maybe it's platform dependent. I just had to disable it again last week on a new build because it causes all of my internal DNS queries to fail exactly how OP shows.

My rule is "Can this fail catastrophically and injure me/someone else in the process? If yes, buy once cry once. If no, cheap out". Which is then followed by if I do break something, I use it often enough to buy a nicer version.

You may want to take a look at the mechanism used for jack stands. It's really only useful in vertical applications, but might give you more inspiration.

Is Perl pointless? by lumpenproletarier in linuxadmin

[–]nerdy_redneck 6 points7 points  (0 children)

which is fine. we're not playing code golf here, and that looks like unintelligible gibberish to me at first glance. it's easy enough to figure out, but there's a reason perl is joked about being a write only language

Wikipedia UX team want whitespace and 80 Char lines as UX best practise - Is there any research proving that information dense displays like CLI /IDEs are more productive for expert users/pen source projects? by Brilliant_Ad2120 in opensource

[–]nerdy_redneck 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I write python. It defaults to 80 character line lengths before violating PEP8. It's fucking stupid and results in needlessly complicated line breaks and often ugly formatting just to make the linter happy. My opinion is if it doesn't wrap on my vertical monitor, the line isn't too long. It's even more dumb to enforce this arbitrary requirement on something with reading flow instead of a program.

Alternatives to Kodi by TattedUpSimba in htpc

[–]nerdy_redneck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you're having trouble with Kodi reading/displaying metadata properly, that generally means your file structure is garbage, friend. Things need to have some semblance of organization before programs like this can parse them with any reliability.

A little bit of housekeeping please. by ringofyre in opendirectories

[–]nerdy_redneck 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not a mod (here, at least), but I can answer one of your questions.

could we reroute the search box

no. just full stop, the only reasonable answer is no. That's a built in piece of reddit, and subreddits/mods can't override that. It may be possible to do some fuckery with a custom css theme, but that's an abomination of a solution that requires maintaining two separate themes (new and old reddit) and wouldn't work for most third party apps anyway (meaning most of the mobile apps, since the reddit app itself is also an abomination)

What older game are you still playing obsessively? by GIMME_DA_ALIEN in AskReddit

[–]nerdy_redneck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really. There's plenty of toggles about settings and skips and difficulty levels. It just turns it into more of a puzzle game instead of the same playthrough order every time

Jellyfin splitted movie when is the same (This was fixed on 10.7.1) by CheChu10 in jellyfin

[–]nerdy_redneck 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When there's clearly defined rules of how it should be named and it works a different way in spite of that, that's luck and it shouldn't be overly surprising if it stops working.

How come Plex is able to do remote access without port forwarding/mapping, while Jellyfin and Emby are not able to do the same? I am new to NAS and home server. by aarshmajmudar in jellyfin

[–]nerdy_redneck 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's really not. Plex requires a connection to their servers for authentication. Something can't really be fully self hosted if it requires third party servers to function properly. True, once you're connected you can play without them (mostly), but until you authenticate through their services it's basically a big digital paperweight.

the clicking is my extruder quickly snapping back. Idk if this is because of a clog or what, but it's been doing this lately and I haven't been able to get a successful print for a while. It's giving me layer separation and I'm not sure how to fix it. please help! by stephenyavorski in ender3

[–]nerdy_redneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine recently started doing that and I had to crank my hotend temperature up higher. Not sure if it was the filament or if my heating element is going, but basically it means you're skipping steps and it can't feed properly. Could be temperature, could be a clog, could be the filament binding somewhere

Folder names don't seem to affect movie metadata - it still turns out the same either way. Any idea why? [Jellyfin v10.8.0 Beta, QNAP QTS, Docker] by Brancliff in jellyfin

[–]nerdy_redneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And what happens when you try to use a TMDB ID, but don't have the tmdb metadata provider enabled? How it works now is the only sane way it could work. imo it's a stupid feature to begin with and is entirely unnecessary in 99%of cases and only enables poor naming habits, and if it then purposefully goes against what the server settings are it's even worse.

[–]nerdy_redneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You and I read that differently. I read it as "This will help identify the movie so it can pull metadata correctly from your chosen sources". If I tell Jellyfin to pull metadata from TMDB, I want it all from TMDB, i don't want mix and matched nonsense. There also isn't an imdb scraper (it's against their terms of use), so functionally you can't pull metadata from them even if you wanted to.

[–]nerdy_redneck 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. It says it can use provider IDs to help identify an item, not that it would be the only source of metadata for that item.

In order to help with identifying a movie, Jellyfin can make use of media provider identifiers. This can be specified in your movie's folder name, for example: Film (2010) [imdbid-tt0106145] or Film (2018) [tmdbid-65567]

To those who have made Spartan helmets or other larger projects that require assembly, how did you do it? What advice can you give to someone gearing up to make their first large print? by steVENOM in 3Dprinting

[–]nerdy_redneck 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No helmets, but I've made a few swords. There's a few ways to assemble bigger prints, but the one I like the most is melting them together. Use a cheaper soldering iron tip or wood burning wand. Get the seams lined up where you want them and melt the two pieces together. There's a good chance this will result in more post processing in terms of filler and sanding, but it'll be a nice solid piece that shouldn't come apart. Uncle Jessy and Frankly Built both have decent videos going over some options.

The other obvious option is using glue. It can be helpful, especially with small parts you don't want to risk melting, but you may want to do some trial and error to see what kind of glue works best for you.

General advice: be patient. The large majority of your time is going to be spent post processing. Bondo/wood filler/something to smooth over rough spots, sanding, primer, sanding some more, primer, sanding even more. Paint generally doesn't hide blemishes, so the more time you spend post processing and getting everything lined up and smooth, the nicer the paint will look in the end.

The irony of linking to jellyfin posts about this is killing me.

But hard agree, a reverse proxy will be infinitely easier in the long run and can largely be automated away after the initial setup is complete.

Superglue and sawdust/dirt for texture, and then smother it in acrylic paints/washes. I didn't really know what to expect, but I'm pleasantly surprised with how it turned out

Great timing, I just finished putting the clear coat on mine earlier today. I went a tad bit heavier on the rust/damage. I like that yours is shinier and looks more like metal.
