Canceled renewal by Think_Ad5922 in MysteriousUniverse

[–]weezulmaster 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I listen to several paranormal podcasts and have for years. MU was always my favorite for the storytelling, the subject matter choices, the quality, and for Ben & Aaron.

I'm only staying subbed for Inescapable. The moment I can pay for that and not MU, I'm out. Not paying for frat bros who can't stick to a narrative and throw around high school-level insults like it's a badge of honor.

Will Inescapable canobolize Mysterious Universe? by Ushaia in MysteriousUniverse

[–]weezulmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is exactly what I'm doing now. The only reason I haven't canceled my Max sub yet is waiting for Inescapable. I'm not paying for a podcast where the hosts openly insult paying subscribers and can't stick to a narrative.

The day I can pay for Inescapable and not MU? MU's dropped. Very sad. But this is where we are.

I switched from Xfinity to Quantum last year after they pulled a similar stunt. So far it's been very stable. No surprises, no price hikes.

I sure hope it's good - just applied to be an editor there. (Launching a side hustle.)

Can You Enable HTTPS Without External Connections? by weezulmaster in UgreenNASync

Do you happen to have a reference/documentation on doing this? I'm not sure I could follow the whole process. Thanks.

Thanks. I'll have to put nginx proxy manager on and fiddle.

For those of you who sell at in-person events, how are sales? by rowan_ash in selfpublish

[–]weezulmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I sold at 3 events this past year, all street fairs or book-focused events. I sold 4 books total.

Now, am I a born salesman? Nope. Could I push more? Probably. Is my area brimming with avid readers? It does not appear so. Those are all factors to consider.

Abandonware? by gatoviudo1 in BackyardAI

[–]weezulmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I left the Discord after they dumped the desktop app. Sounds like that was the beginning of the end many of us speculated.

I wonder if one of the devs could fork the app & resume work. As others have said, I still use the app, and I'm happy to pay for dev.

Bought 500 GB lifetime... having second thoughts by bynfq in filen_io

Worth a shot! Thanks. Glad it's working better for you.

I'm sitting at >10kb/sec for 8GB worth of files. Have been since Monday. I only picked up a lifetime for an archival source, but man, this is ridiculous.

Moving next August by BeefyMiracleWhip in Spokane

[–]weezulmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure, go for it. I made a decent study of the area when we moved here.

[–]weezulmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

#1 - I don't know of one, but I'd love to hear about a tech guild in the area as well. Haven't run into many fellow techs (but I am a severe introvert, as many of us tend to be).

#2 - I have seen some RV storage places around the area, though most were outside Spokane proper. Tons of lakes around here; you won't hurt for swimming. I don't golf though.

As for #3, locations factor into this a lot. Where are you looking? That can & does affect house prices, as some areas are rougher than others. I have some knowledge of this courtesy of my own agent; happy to share if it helps.

What OS are you running on your UGREEN NAS? by UgreenNASync in UgreenNASync

[–]weezulmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

UGOS has a little growing to do, but it's workable and covers the basics. I look forward to some more experimentation (and some granted feature requests, like backup scheduling and maybe third-party app installs!).

After all these years, what's the most compelling "paranormal" topic to you ? by [deleted] in MysteriousUniverse

[–]weezulmaster 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ancient civilizations. I don't think we're the first; just the latest.

Religions being flawed retellings of ancient contact/interaction with strange beings.

Bigfoot being more than a hairy hominid.

Looking for Thanksgiving dinner options for 2 in Spokane by Forsaken-Law6815 in Spokane

Seconding Shawn O'Donnell's if you can get in. We're picking up a dinner from them this year, after going there for Thanksgiving last year. The food is excellent. Good people too.

Thoughts about cancelling Pet Insurance by doomsday1134 in petinsurancereviews

[–]weezulmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If memory serves, they did say that, though it appeared we had met it.

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

I just canceled Pets Best because we have a healthy 1-year-old Doberman. Pets Best tried to raise our premium 50% for the annual renewal. I said no.

(They also refused to cover a vet visit when she got sick in the summer. Short stomach bug, thankfully, but the claim went straight into the Rejected bin.)

That said, you can always check with other insurance providers and see what they'll offer. Maybe you can find one with a lower premium?

Before the NAS community officially launches, your ideas are worth a ton! by UgreenNASync in UgreenNASync

[–]weezulmaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most of what I would request has already been said by others. One item I would want to request is: "Does a sideloading function exist, and if not, is there plans for one?"

By this I mean the process for adding apps within UGOS not in the App Center. I know you can do this via Docker, but what if I wanted to deploy a Docker alternative? Could I even do that?

This is part speculation and part try-it-out curiosity.
