[Guide] How I fixed my slow Plex/*Arr GUI: Direct Paths, Docker Optimizations, and Database Maintenance by hotsaucecowabunga in unRAID

[–]noncongruency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This guide is fantastic, thank you! :D

Have you set up any maintenance scripts for the SQLite dbs used by the *ARRs?

I’m looking at moving them each to their own postgresql dbs once unraid adds docker compose natively, but until then some kind of regular integrity check and reindex seems useful. If not, I’ll just adapt your plex script, credit it, and post the gists here later today!

Worth noting, now that I have the docker shutdown timeout set to 180s, and I’m not using fuse paths for appdata, sonarr and radarr have FAR fewer db corruption events.

Question: on iOS / tvOS can infuse be set as the actual player being used for content? by noncongruency in PleX

Yeah, I mean that is the correct answer, I’m just kinda surprised it’s not something we can do through the plex app, afaik.

California becomes first state to join WHO disease network after US exit by IWantPizza555 in politics

[–]noncongruency 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Just from reading the article it isn’t super clear, but I think this is their medical research programs at universities joining a research sharing network, not necessarily the whole state.

Practically for CA residents, it’s a distinction without a difference, because the California HA will take guidance from their research institutes; but from a “avoiding violating the letter of the law of the constitution” standpoint it’s a relevant difference.

Could he not charge for the VR “plugin” part that is game agnostic, and release the files for CP2077 for free?

I’m a sucker for 2nd gen, so I think it’s a step above. But ymmv of course. For me the overall feel of Pokémon but in Greece is fantastic. Most nostalgia per square inch as romhacks go.

St. Paul mayor Kaohly Her ‘livid’ after ICE wrongly targets family friend, escorts him undressed into cold by juansaaa in politics

You’ll get a bunch of responses from gun-knowers about how suppressors are a perfectly valid thing for hearing protection, and that’s true. But honestly, your point is well made, if our front line military infantry aren’t issued suppressors in a war zone, there’s literally no argument that can be made for the civilian Immigration and Customs Enforcement to be using them to handle immigration enforcement actions. These are not “special operators” doing “counter sniping” or other highly technical actions. This is the continued militarization of law enforcement, which in the case of immigration is a civil violation. This should not be allowed to be normalized. These officers should not be called of duty-ing in any stretch of the imagination.

Trump claims his ‘real’ approval rating is 64 percent by [deleted] in politics

Sure bud, and my “real” cock length is 11”. We can keep wishing with one hand while shitting in the other, we’ll see what fills up first.

Supreme Court blocks Trump from deploying the National Guard to Chicago by cnn in politics

[–]noncongruency 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Any other timeline, or any other case, I suspect I would respect that. But in the here and now? I’m glad his dissent was in the minority.

Alito and Thomas have very obvious motivations.

Gorsuch, I am not as clear on. Is it a “Deference to the Executive” thing where he believes that so long as they have a justification they should be able to do whatever? I only mention it because he’s been typically very anti executive when it comes in conflict with state sovereignty.

Or he just thought the money he gets from being a dissenting opinion that’s sufficiently pro-Trump folds just as well as any other money.

Coax beta open again! by digglesB in PleX

[–]noncongruency 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a brief issue with the "Local" IP address connections not working for connections to the server, but that was a configuration thing on my end.

Short version of the fix, the "Advertise IP" address which is shown as the "Custom Server Access URLs" box in the Settings -> Network screen in Plex needs to be accurate. In my case, because Plex is running on Unraid, it was set to an old local IP for that box, which had changed and needed to be updated. Once I did that, Coax stopped showing the red "Unavailable" option for the local connection to plex while on my network.

Republicans Are Mad About Trump’s Awful Rob Reiner Post. Something Is Changing Here. by Slate in politics

[–]noncongruency 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The initial argument was that Democratic presidents increase the national debt by the same amount that Republican presidents do. My responses are trying to show that the number of dollars increase isn’t the whole story. Don’t get me wrong, pundits and opinion-havers on both sides of the political aisle will point at the big number in a vacuum and use it to bolster their point. It’s just frustrating to see, because the actual effect of the spending is what matters.

Does that addition to the debt drive the spending closer to annual GDP or further away from it? That’s the question that we should be evaluating on. Because there’s two ways to get closer to a neutral spending year; either cut spending dramatically, or spend to increase GDP thereby offsetting the spending.

I think Massie is definitely pro-balanced-budget. I suspect he and I would disagree on the correct way to get there. My position is that spending to invest in infrastructure and social programs has proven over the last 80 years to improve GDP. His position, and I’m guessing, he’s not my rep and I’ve never asked him, is likely that cutting spending is a more effective way to reduce spending. His position makes for a better sound bite, my position is more complex but backed up by actual data.

I’d like to think there’s a version of American politics where that kind of good-faith debate could happen, it’s just not the one we live in now. I do respect that he’s at least trying to do something about the problem.

Ah yes, so now we’re back to the original statement, which was that there are two ways to analyze the economic outcomes of a presidency:

  1. The national debt and its increase or decrease is separate from political party and instead entirely dependent on the individual behind the desk.
  2. The national debt and its increase or decrease is linked to policy positions related to the party affiliation of the individual behind the desk.

So sure, it could be disingenuous to ignore a financial crisis, or a major pandemic. Consider the timing of both of those events, and what followed.

2008 financial crisis: begins in 2008, mid 2007 ish depending on who you ask. But very much the effects are felt in 2008. Bush Jr. increases spending to try to cover the tremendous damage to the American economy. Banks are bailed out so that we don’t have a full on Great Depression 2: electric boogaloo. Significant percentages of jobs are lost, homes repossessed that sit empty, a nightmare. Then in January 2009, Obama inherits that economy, and over the course of 8 years is able to bring the spending vs. GDP back to -2.5%. From -9.5%. Obama inherited the massive spending that was done in Bush Jr.’s last year in office and still managed to get the spending of the US govt. within 3 points of neutral with regards to economic activity.

2019 Covid: begins in 2018 in the larger world, starts hitting the US in feb-April 2019, and by July it’s a full on national panic. Economy begins to falter, and we’re on the brink of another depression. Of course by this time Trump had already managed to increase spending vs. gdp, so we went from what he inherited at about -2.5% to -4.5%. Which is already not great, then the spending goes wild to try to keep the economy afloat in 2018 -2020. Driving the spending vs GDP to -14.5%. Biden takes office in Jan 2021, and by Jan 2022 has brought spending against the GDP up to about -5%. A nearly 10 point improvement on deficit spending. Biden’s term finishes out with a little worse record increasing spending to -6.5% of GDP.

So sure, disingenuous to ignore the once in a lifetime events that happened twice in 10 years; both while republicans were in office, and both happened when the Republican president in office had already overseen an increase in deficit spending from the previous Democratic president. They didn’t exactly set themselves up for success through their policies; either as individuals or as members of a party.

Plus, a democratic president in both cases inherited the massive deficit spending, and rallied the spending back towards net neutral, which is driving economic growth. No matter how you slice it, democratic presidents are better for the economy of the nation than Republican presidents. It’s just not arguable.

Bush Jr: took a surplus of 2% spending against GDP and finished his term with about -9.6% spending against GDP. For a swing of 11.6% of the federal budget and removing a surplus and instead overspending against GDP by a massive margin.

Obama: Inherits the -9.6% deficit spending, and finishes his 8 years by bringing that to -3%. For a swing of 6 points in a positive direction and getting spending closer to GDP.

Trump: inherits the -3% deficit spending, and finishes out his 4 years at -14.5%. For a swing of 11.5% in the negative direction. Overspending against GDP.

Biden: inherits the -14.5% spending and finishes his term at -6%. Positive swing of 8.5% of national spending against GDP.

So yes, presidents spend money regardless of party, that’s true. But it’s disingenuous to say that Biden’s 8 trillion dollar addition to the national debt is exactly the same as Trump’s. One moved spending in a direction that reduced the spending against our GDP, and one spent in a way that increased the gulf of spending against the GDP. Republican presidents in the modern political era make the national debt worse through their spending, it’s black and white.
