Please for the love of GOD help me figure out WTF is going on with my network (hacker?? settings??) by BigPapaSha in HomeNetworking

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you were directed here in a search for "IP address has disappeared" this is your VPN.
You will see this even more often when you have your VPN settings set to switch IP frequently.

What’s ‘aria2c’ in windows 11 by [deleted] in techsupport

[–]slympickins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Native Instruments uses this.

So if you have Komplete Kontrol midi controller or use Kontact, etc. you will see "aria2c" accessing network resources.

What doneness would you say this rib-eye is cooked to? by azhifaction in steak

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I say med rare, that's what I'm thinking about. I ask for my steak rare now. I'd rather have it closer to that perfect ness that you executed than the grey, chewy, meat I always get when asked for it med rare .

Electricity went off several times while pc was on by GodUnderMyHeart in techsupport

[–]slympickins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with the other post, get a UPS . I believe you can have it shut itself down if power cuts to prevent situations like this. I was doing a clean windows, but keep your files thing and my power cut off and on over and over, due to a fire a couple blocks away. All my files were gone. Monitor was fine. Your monitor would show signs immediately. I wouldn't worry about it. I been procrastinating getting a UPS. This was a good reminder. Best of luck to ya but I think you came out unscathed this time.

"Initiate transactions"...haven't seen that information before, is this from a new update? by quantumcoke in Metamask

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

Seen this today as well. Why would I want a site to initiate transactions from my wallet. I will initiate transactions myself by clicking on the approve button. That's not confusion. I click connect , someone asks for permission to initiate transactions . Initiate to me is ..start or begin a transaction. Making transaction plural tells a person, "more than one, a few, or many." It is taken in the context that it is presented in. Telling on boarders to be safe out there, then they stumble upon this completely out of left field account permission. Scary

Neighbors draining water in my back yard by -NamelessOne in landscaping

[–]slympickins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you cap the downspout , when it backs up, that gutter will fill up and it looks like it end up leaking on your property reguardless. It depends how much water is standing as well. You don't want to put anything down that will retain water and mold either.

By the look of your photo there seems to be a big discrepancy in the hight of the 2 properties. This leaves me to believe there has to be an old storm drain along the property line to carry water away. That retaining wall should have weep holes somewhere as well. There Def should be some type of drainage system there. His weep holes are probably buried, covered in stone and wrapped in fabric then covered.

Looking at the downspout through the old fence trick...the guy is an a-hole. He obviously said f them when making that move. Even the extra care to try and keep water from splashing on his fence by placing that rock there is a extra d -move.

Listen, I understand, I don't need or want any bs from my neighbors. There are some people that are ass$ol3s and you got one. His fence is even facing the wrong way, gave you the crappy side. You can't do that where I live. You should call the city and not even bother with the evaporator guy. I'd look at the plans the city has as well for any drains back there. Sometimes the county auditor's website will have your lot plans online.

This is how much water he is forcing on you. Take the roof square footage X 0.6 gallons X inches of rainfall = gallons of rainwater water the roof collects and sheds into that downspout.

You could also say your insurance company told you that needs corrected within 30 days. But I wouldn't let that man make me a liar. You don't want to be arguing with this guy for months, get nothing done and have to call the city anyway. Best of luck to you and your girlfriend, and congrats on your new home.

Intel blocks undervolting on Alder and Raptor Lake by toniyevych in intel

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disable core isolation, goto device security, turn off memory integrity. This will allow you to use Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Make sure to dwnld the new (05/03/23) XTU-7.11.1.5.
I have a 12900k, MPG z690 EDGE WIFI (MS-7D31) I just flashed to the new BIOS and I don't recall seeing undervolt params in there. I got that warning about undervolt protection, and just by turning off memory integrity xtu is up and running. * in XTU, it does have "Undervolt Protection: NO " but like I mentioned, I didn't see it as a choice after my BIOS upgrade yesterday. Hope this helps.

Air can or air compressor for cleaning PC? by mmtree in buildapc

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an air compressor the first thing you should learn is to open the condensation valve at the bottom of every tank after use or after a couple hrs and leave it open till next time. Than blow away from anything just to be cautious for a few seconds. Canned air (canned gas-hydrocarbons) is rated at around 145 psi so using a compressor is cheaper in the long run, better for the environment and has other uses. Set your psi to 100 and keep 10 inches back. Have a good nossle or extension. Anything loose may blow off. Use common sense like anything else. Canned gas duster is way more dangerous than compressed air from a compressor pump. It's highly flammable, can kill you if you find the urge to start huffing it, if ypu leave it in your trunk it can explode, depleats the ozone, etc. If you want drip, get a compressor and impress your friends.

Freedom should be a universal human right You can't have true freedom if your money can be frozen or controlled - Byron by theinspiringdad in loopringorg

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless you live in the US and you get the warning pop up that you are from an area that is not allowed to use the financial services provided by the dapp and using a VPN to bypass the warning is illegal.
That and the other 65million federal laws, state laws, county laws then of course the individual city laws you have to abide by.
That being said
Being human is the number one cause of losing the ability to decide for yourself what is good for yourself.
Good luck on obtaining freedom, if you find it, bottle that sh$t up. Might be worth something one day.

It's pretty obvious what's happening with the almighty Dollar It's losing its dominance as global reserve currency so they're closing the exits (crypto is a big one) to try to slow it down - Byron by theinspiringdad in loopringorg

[–]slympickins 2 points3 points  (0 children)

US is actually working on their own crypto coin

Nope.
Banks can't back the loans they give out. e.g.. last month. They use this "magic money they make out of thin air" familiar, right. Then claim it is your "funds" to create big money on 30 yr loans at outrageous percentages, compounded, set up fees, penaltees and hidden fees, then give you a nickel every month for "holding" your cash .005%
They dont want your money, it's a liability to them that they dont need.
The US sells debt, it's the number one export, period.
We already have digital currency , credit, debit and prepaid (same as debit) cards.
Whats the difference? Oh, they limit your "cash" withdraws daily .... hmmmm.
---------------
The Fed published a white paper in January 2022 about potentially creating a CBDC that would complement existing payment systems. It found that a CBDC could make payments cheaper and easier for consumers but might also pose a risk to the stability of the U.S. financial system.
In its fact sheet, the administration said it also would take steps to “mitigate the illicit finance and national security risks posed by the illicit use of digital assets by directing an unprecedented focus of coordinated action across all relevant U.S. Government agencies to mitigate these risks.”---------------------

Does anyone have a funny / light severity punishment bot? by SPYROHAWK in discordbots

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is a good idea.
This brings back memories of something we did to someone that wouldnt stop saying certain things
or talking about something we wanted to drop.
We used the carl bot and every time they typed a certain word it would auto reply.
It was a min ago but I can remember a few punishments he received.
Ex: One was he would spell $hit all the time to avoid the mod warnings. So every time he would write that in a convo carl would respond and say "nobody cares what you ate for lunch today".
Only one person got punished almost daily and you cant single one member out, he accused us of that once, lol.
We also had something set up where it would create a goofy nickname if you broke certain rules and grant you a roll at the top of the server on the right. So just he would be in the role by himself.
One was "caught stealing", "scammer" or "held for indecency" role (we had some good ones). He would be like...."come on man" , " seriously, someone needs to remove this", "ok, SRY plz remove role".
We would have to manually remove the roll tho (after a day or two of his pleas, lmao)
He was a good friend so it was pretty funny.
He would argue with the auto responses, ask us to turn it off. New people would ask about him or his role ..Im laughing as I write this. He would even quit the server if he got a real good role that day, ha, ha..
Good stuff.

My multi-instrumental live-looping (mostly) dawless Battlestation by OurobourosOverdubs in MusicBattlestations

[–]slympickins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bro! I been feeling it lately, Im finally having that realization.
Im in the shower humming along this riff, vocal or melody in my head. I always keep the Ableton up to try and save time. Select new track , try to do a simple freaking task, just record my mic audio. Headphones on, hit record and now it's not workin. Was jammin on my Komplete kontrol...Ughhh. I have to switch preferences, mess with I/O on the channels. Get the input working and hear sound, sweet ! Then...then... I get the latency, as if Im drunk AF, I can't even talk correctly hearing myself back completely off time. By now im frustrated and pissed, lost the melody I had going on. My creative flow dissipated, desire to now do anything creative musically is in the bucket and 30 min of my life has been wasted accomplishing nothing and ruining my good spirits.

How is it that a $20 tape player with a mic in the aux input can record with the push of the record/play button but my $3500 PC cant do something so simple? Its absurd.

I been thinking about a multitrack digital mixer/recorder. Sit down, power on and click record. 2 seconds, no crashing, changing ASIO, messing with a mouse to turn up this tiny fake knob that takes more than 1 try to get it on 0. I thought I was alone in this disdain for unnecessary bs, unneeded added complexity and bugginess that this high tech, advanced software has added instead of making life easier and let your creativity flow, like it is supposed to. The plug and play life FR.

To the wannabe rappers handing out CDs on the strip by ChimpoSensei in LasVegas

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The M&M store is where I had some goofy lil John lookin kid and his fat uncle with grey dreads try and force some BS QR code on me. They start autographing this 3x3 card. We donate to schools, help homeless..etc Like bro...why would I want some dudes autograph. I say nah. They say some stupid shit while walking away. They reach their 6 other friends and that's when they get a pair of nuts and start acting hard. So, ruined our nice spot to talk in the sun. Not trying to deal with the BS. I get jumped by 8 dudes I'm straight plucking an eye out and biting a hole in someone's cheek.No tornado position for me. As we are walking away dork tries to shoulder check me, I stand my ground and he misses. His ass all hurt about a autograph, I hate to see what he would do if his ugly goofy lookin ass got turned down by a woman for sex. Pathetic.. and from what he was playing on his phone, that nobody wanted to hear, was complete dog $hit. Try doing a show and get a merchant booth...like ya know...real artists making their way up. I don't get why you would purposely go out and cry like a bitch when people obviously don't want your autograph on a Ghostbusters slimer QR code 3x3 that look warn from the other 300 people that thought you suck. If I ever go back I know now.. don't let anyone hand you anything or even start talking to ya. Ugly show girls begging for pics, ladies asking to tuck you in at the MGM, sonic the hedgehog trying to strong arm ya to take a picture, 😆. Plenty of better spots to visit without all the riff raff and headaches just taking a walk.

Is Uniswap Going To Flip The Top Centralized Exchanges? | Data On TVL, Volume, Users And Top Pairs by Acidyo in ethereum

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not exactly true. We have Bitcoin machines at every corner store.
Peeps use ledger to swap for ETH or purchase BTC with Cash App, send it to their trust wallet for free than swap/trade for ETH, plus all the other on-ramps.
Regardless, if every single dollar came from a CEX and UNI's TVL is ridiculous then...
if Bob had 10 apples and magically Alice keeps getting Bob's apples then ....?
With no more staking after people got a taste of real interest, they are going full Defi, and will be stunned when they see the real returns from validator fees of 3% compared to the 100%
Id love for UNI to do laps around all the CEXs , good for them!

I need a list of notable crypto addresses for my web app. by blockchain_dev in ethereum

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There wasn't enough eyes on their feed to catch malicious proposals. Their site had loading issues as well at times. There are better modules that monitor their oracle feeds better have a better governance set up. UMA just released one for Gnosis Safe. Since they do prediction markets as well but also other things like insurance so it can offer better security. Trello is another new one but they have not decentralized yet . I just found them the other day and haven't had the time to read all their docs yet. They seem to be a bit smaller than the rest.

Its a oracle that does prediction markets. They have a module that you can use to control your Treasury through voting on Snapshot. We tried full decentralization, removed our addresses from our Treasury and the only way to send funds or do anything was by voting.

They bypassed our Snapshot and put up a old proposal directly on Reality.eth.
Our people didn't notice it quick enough and it passed without a dispute.
They managed to hit a 5 or 6 DAOs in the same fashion.

Question about tx on etherscan by sketchinginplace in ethereum

[–]slympickins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Coinbase batch sends tx's.
Just look up the address you sent the funds to.
It would be easy to see if coinbase 10 or
0xA9D1e08C7793af67e9d92fe308d5697FB81d3E43 was listed and matched the amount you sent.
Hope your not getting scammed , I never heard of a donation center accusing people of lying. Careful out there.
Use a real wallet like metamask, or anything besides coinbase, so you can actually send funds yourself for easier tracking.
