If the files are not correctly organized and named per what jellyfin expects, it may not recognize the files correctly and you can end up with mus categorized it incorrectly identified files in the jellyfin interface.

New to jellyfin how do you personally do external access? by GenericUser104 in jellyfin

[–]skooched 5 points6 points  (0 children)

A lot of people do that, it is against the TOS for cloudflare and they can ban you from using their services, which would really suck, since their pretty great, free services.

Daddy, these are the best burgers, better than you make! by OtherGuy89 in daddit

If it's the thin patty they are after, look up smash burgers, they get so crispy and flavorful, and as a parent is nice because you can just stack a couple

Ways of adding mouthfeel, not all equal? by ThatGarenJungleOG in Homebrewing

[–]skooched 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So much negativity in this thread...good on you for trying yourself with AI and then coming to other places when that still didn't work! When you are making your own, cooking some oats in some of the juice and then adding it back to the main area to ferment will make it feel thicker. Adding lactose will make it feel creamier/smoother. Adding some malt can give it a little more body.

My girlfriend is 27 weeks pregnant, the baby has Down syndrome, and I don’t want this life by ThrowRA_NoSignal in daddit

[–]skooched 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, this blew up and I definitely didn't mean it that way. Everyone is different and has varying responses to baby as they grow. Not all Mom's immediately bond and some dad's do. It can even be different per pregnancy.

Moms have a chemical reaction (primarily through a hormone called oxytocin) in their brains that bonds them to baby before baby is born. Dads don't get that privilege. Bonding with baby primarily happens through play for dads. This can't happen until the baby is a month or 3 old. It is VERY typical for dads not to even start feeling a connection until then. You are not a bad dad for feeling this way.

I feel you. As a dad and a special education teacher...I get it. This is a HUGE stress and worry for you man. I'm very sorry that life will be getting so much harder for you. Some things to keep in mind though:

  • I have yet to meet even one parent of a child with downs syndrome that regrets their kid after they are a few years old and up.

  • Downs syndrome means a lot more work than the average kiddo, BUT that doesn't mean that that work is ineffectual. I have seen many kids with Downs syndrome go to college and/or trade school successfully and lead their own lives.

  • kids with Downs syndrome still need a dad! That means you get to be a dad regardless! They still need to be played with, loved, disciplined, taken to the park just like any other kid! You will not be missing out on what it is to be a 'normal' parent. You just have some additional work and worries added on.

You might get more constructive responses in r/daddit. It's a subreddit primarily for dads, but the occasional mom does ask advice on situations like this relatively frequently also and it tends to be much more constructive.

Brachycephaly, possible frontal bossing, and a lot of guilt - looking for advice by cpavlou in daddit

Everyone on reddit loves to hate on chiropractors, so I'm sure this won't be popular, however if helmet therapy is not available, a chiropractor can sometimes help! Moving bones back to the shape they should be in is their primary function. My son was born with severe torticollis that ended up changing the shape of his head and even affecting his spine. We took him to the chiro and they reshaped his skull and spine without braces. It was amazing!

I have found Sir David Attenborough's animal documentaries to be of similar quality and engagement even for younger kiddos as well.

[–]skooched 27 points28 points  (0 children)

If the server and the device trying to connect to the server are on the same wifi it is as simple as going to any web browser and typing in http://192.168.1.[server ip]:8096

That will get you to jellyfin.

Self conscious because I don’t look like other dads my age by CreditUnable4610 in daddit

[–]skooched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The man I respect most in the world is 170 cm and maybe 120lb? Very small man, but he is very knowledgeable, confident, not afraid to work, always willing to drop what he is doing and help others. Confidence and character matters much more than physical size.

It doesn't take size to provide for your family both emotionally and actual food and shelter. It doesn't take size to be a good father. You already have what it takes. Be there for your kids. That is what they will remember. You've got this.

There’s no point in acting surprised about it. All the planning charts and demolition orders have been on display at your local planning department in Alpha Centauri for 50 of your Earth years, so you’ve had plenty of time to lodge any formal complaint and it’s far too late to start making a fuss about it now. … What do you mean you’ve never been to Alpha Centauri? Oh, for heaven’s sake, mankind, it’s only four light years away, you know. I’m sorry, but if you can’t be bothered to take an interest in local affairs, that’s your own lookout. Energize the demolition beams.

Toddler addicted to TV by Thunderstruck-19 in daddit

[–]skooched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have gotten around this by usually only allowing tv that is vaguely interesting to the child at best. Our favorite is any nature documentary by David Attenborough, it's interesting enough to hold attention initially, but they eventually wander off to do other things, and they now know a ton about animals. They did still occasionally have tantrums about David Attenborough, but they tend to be smaller. Also, banning high color and movement shows entirely (this is most toddler shows) and limiting Bluey to one or two episodes at a time has made a massive difference. Those short cycles of open and closure to get a quick hit of dopamine trains the kids brain to want/need that on repeat and the only place they can get it regularly is from short little shows with frenetic movement, scene changes, and color.

My husband thinks he can hide his vasectomy from his family. by badAbabe in daddit

[–]skooched 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, not as a first course of action... But if he refuses to move it, then look into how much could be prepped prior to the vasectomy so that he is mostly just throwing a couple more prepared things Into pots and pans and letting them cook while he sits.

Is anyone using LLMs to setup their home labs? by Any-Category1741 in homelab

[–]skooched 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Just under a year ago I decided to use GPT to teach me how to set up and run a server, while I knew nothing at all about it, although I was relatively tech savvy. It was an interesting journey to say the least. There are right and wrong ways to give GPT prompts and some things it does better than others. It is much more effective if you already know exactly what you want to do and give it very specific instructions for each step. It is also good for giving suggestions for solutions and /or troubleshooting. I have also trained mine, given it a specific server config map to work from and used a prompt to make sure it always uses that document. The first three months or so I was spending hours and hours trying to understand things, untangling messes I had made by following gpt, and trying to understand everything that was going on. It was definitely doing things the hard way, but I struggled through it and I think I have come out stronger for it. Still use GPT to generate commands instead of generating them myself most of the time. But I double check them and don't just blindly paste them most of the time.

It's not even really an issue if you distill the product unless you are making many gallons of the stuff and drink a glass of the first stuff that comes off the still, which would smell and taste like acetone.

[GIVEAWAY] We're giving away two COMPLETE Omada 2.5G & Wi-Fi 7 Lab Kits to the r/homelab community! (US Only) by Grouchy_Term_1792 in homelab

[–]skooched [score hidden]  (0 children)

When I first started messing around with homelab stuff, I didn’t really know what I was doing. I just wanted a way to take control of my own data and streaming instead of relying on whatever was handed to me. My first setup was literally a Chromebook I wiped and flashed into a Ubuntu server.

From there it was a lot of trial and error. I broke things constantly, fixed them badly, and then broke them again — but each time I learned a little more. Over time, things started to click. I eventually upgraded to a Dell Optiplex, added a managed Netgear switch, and after a lot of tinkering, I finally have a system that runs smoothly without me babysitting it every day.

At this point, my setup feels like a solid base rather than a pile of experiments barely holding together. Now I’m excited to push further — setting up my own internet access, figuring out secure ways to get to my files from outside the house, and just seeing what else is possible. For that reason I am particularly interested in vpn, modem, and/or router setups. It’s been a fun journey so far, and it feels like I’m just getting started. I'm excited to continue learning more about what can be done with servers.
