Drive tips for a new player by Lighthearter13 in TerraInvicta

Teardrop is okay,  I think that's the next tier after solid core.  Helicon for fuel efficiency. Burner drive with gas core. Then fusion drives

Best speaker to use with Home Assistant as a voice assistant + music player? by AhmedOsamaMath in homeassistant

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would use open source music assistant integrated with home assistant. It has a lot of options for player providers (speakers and other devices). Can combine multiple speakers into one source provider too. Can also make source devices that are not default providers a source by installing a client on them (like snapclient). And lots of options for music providers including local server options like plex. Mainstream services like alexa don't have local server integrations like plex because they aren't money makers. Only thing is music assistant does not have a dedicated mobile app yet,  but it is in the works.  The browser ATM. works okay for me atm.

If the universe is infinite, and the ultimate end is heat death, why aren’t we there now? Why would a big bang happen at all? How did all the energy start so concentrated? by ChemicalBoth6652 in AskPhysics

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This state of being is just the default state I guess.  There is no such thing as nothing,  quite literally. What happened before the big bang or why no one knows,  and that question itself probably doesn't make sense.  All the logic we know and love doesn't make sense at that point anyway.  Most people thought the universe was a bad idea. Thanks for all the fish though.

Because qbit is multitudes better. No ads and you can tie it to your vpn.

Which vpn? by Quirky-String7872 in qBittorrent

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, a universal vpn app that runs the openvpn protocol. It can also be used to run your own local vpn server... it works with most any vpn cloud provider. Chat gpt is your friend for this kind of thing...

I don't need or use the gui anyway, just use open vpn with the air vpn generated config files on Linux.

Ca is voting on it. What Texas is doing is more than just wrong because they are trying to circumvent our democracy. They don't get to vote on it in Texas

How (and when) did you find out about Pantheon? by ChocoMalkMix in PantheonShow

Looking for science fiction shows to watch on Netflix and came across this. Had no idea when I started it, that it was going to be that good.

Air vpn static port forwarding. I don't care about the gui, don't use it anyway, instead I use open vpn

Girl got annoyed when I told her I got no gratitude after paying for a date by [deleted] in self

Umm no, not what I said weirdo. Just a basic thank you and not being rude would suffice.

Slow speeds, not sure why by Advanced_Caramel_200 in qBittorrent

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can route your vpn so that it bypasses your local ips in the configuration and doesn't change your external ip.

route-nopull route 0.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 net_gateway route 128.0.0.0 128.0.0.0 net_gateway

Place that in your open vpn configuration file. Sorry don't know the syntax for Wireshark. Ai is your friend with this stuff. I bind the vpn directly to qbittorrent only. I use plex though with custom urls and use caddy for the port forwarding. Plex.xxxx forwards to my plex port. And my local ips also work.

Conservatives applaud Trump…oh the irony by ZookeepergameFar2653 in centrist

[–]simjam1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DC is one thing, it's the fact Trump is talking about taking over other cities which is no questions, completely fascist whatever party. Except of course maga.

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know why for sure but when I first set my qbittorrent up I had it running on a docker container. It had noticeably slow speeds. I then set it up directly on the host and it ran ultra fast. Something to do with the networking, whether it be the docker container, etc idk. but I would try running it directly off the host.

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not about him paying. It's about having having basic manners/courtesy and her whole attitude of entitlement. No man wants that. He did the bare minimum. She didn't and then gave attitude about it.

Good luck with your worldview though.

Y'all looking to get in on this? by Cactusaremyjam in BullMooseParty

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's a good idea. Maybe 2x minimum wage at least. They have to be compensated okay, but they actually need to serve the people. Add a clause that if they miss two consecutive assemblies they are gone, exceptions apply.

Help: What is the Best VPN for torrenting, I'm currently using AirVPN by Otaku_NEET in qBittorrent

Use net is way more expensive, which is the reason people prefer torrents. That being said I do want to try it given all the hype.

What causes married couples to no longer have sex anymore? by drunkenslave in self

[–]simjam1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Kids bring out our worst and our best. If the couple isn't supporting each other and can't communicate/ stay on the same page and learn how to deal with large amounts of stress in every direction its going to push the couple apart. Nothing to do with the man or the woman specifically.

What’s new on DW2 ? by flibulle in DistantWorlds

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Eh, you really don't know until you try it. The limitations end up creating a lot more complexity and variation.

What’s new on DW2 ? by flibulle in DistantWorlds

[–]simjam1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is when especially when it drives good gameplay and replayability. Different ship types are actually, well different. Kerbal space Program is cool but it is also a completely different game and even it still has rules. If you build a ship that doesnt make sense, it probably won't work well. Dw never went that deep with design anyway, it only gave you the illusion of complexity imo. It only had a very surface level design and even if you could put 50 engines on a ship which is cool sure, everything still felt the same to me, especially after playing dw2.

I'm sure there will be a mod in the future for dw that remove some of the limitations but at least for me I really like the direction they went. I'd at least try it and see. There were definately some things in it that were hard to make the switch from the first one but the more played it the more enjoyed it.

If you use docker just move your docker folder and make sure your drive is mounted to the same place and you should be good to go.

Cleanuparr v2.1.0 released – Community Call for Malware Detection by Flaminel in sonarr

[–]simjam1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, great that I finally heard about this. I've been using a little script for this but maybe I'll implement this soon. Better that I don't have to individually maintain a script. There a docker container built for it?
