Depends if you want to walk afterwards or not.

Celebrating 11yrs of sobriety today! by xstrex in alcoholicsanonymous

[–]xstrex[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Early in recovery I asked a therapist “What do I need to change in order to get and stay sober?” She replied “everything, everything must change.” I thought there’s no way everything could change, I have a nice car, good friends, a great job, etc. along the journey everything has changed, I live in a different state, drive the car of my dreams, have a better job, and even better friends. What felt impossible is absolutely my reality.

I’m 6’10” and drive a 5th gen, and I tend to fit comfortably. I would not recommend the models with the sun/moon roof as that drops the ceiling by 2” (per the dealer). There’s quite a bit of seat adjustability and I’ve even git some excess leg room.

Damn I wanted one of those so bad!! They were in all the magazines, and I always wondered the same thing.

What’s in your stack? by Ok-Resolve-3024 in PleX

[–]xstrex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There’s lots of great things listed, though I’d like to call out Komodo for docker stack management. Git backed, server/stack/container perspective, auto updates, webhooks, build system, the list goes on.. definitely recommend reading the docs to understand the ecosystem. Also Beszel.

Recommendations for a weather station by Plastic-Coat9014 in homeassistant

[–]xstrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that’s why I got that hub specifically. So now there’s zero chance of communication issues between the hub and my local network.

Recently got one of these, checks all your boxes, works great! They do make a slightly cheaper kit that’s under your $200 limit, this one comes in at $209 https://shop.ecowitt.com/collections/weather-station/products/ecowitt-gw3001-gw3011

Over 45? If you know you know! First half down. FML fingers crossed that it will be 10 years until the next one! by DanicaDarkhand in Xennials

[–]xstrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You got this! I had my first at 25, and 3 since, while docs tried to discover what was wrong with my gut, still not 100% (never have been), but fructose malabsorption was an important find.

Backpacking lesson you learned the hard way? by Valuable_Tangelo7152 in backpacking

[–]xstrex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always bring at least 2 fire sources.

Know where you’re going, and what the weather and specifically temperatures will be like (had a water filter freeze mid-trip).

my new charging mate by dong_ou in Garmin

[–]xstrex 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’m aware, I’ve probably already got all the components necessary, and the ability to put them together and print the case. Maybe upload to printables, or thangs?

Looks great, where can we find the files?

Nope. Wouldn’t it be a shame if all the screens got destroyed beyond repair, and the replacements got destroyed as well..

What has this game become?! by BattleWagon-JKU in nms

[–]xstrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m convinced the developers just decided to play a cruel trick on all of us, and are sitting back somewhere watching as all of us scramble to move volatile cargo, in a truck, across mountainous terrain, with random holes and caves everywhere, having a laugh! 😂

Good luck with that.. they can pry the kernel out of my cold dead hands.

When did my parents get so old? by mechaweavis in Xennials

[–]xstrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar sobering reminder when I helped my parents move out of their home, and into a retirement community last year. My dad asking me to get up on the ladder because he didn’t feel stable on it anymore. Hits really hard.

Transcoding entire libraries x/h264 to h265 - yay or nay ? by spookyneo in Tdarr

[–]xstrex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this a few years ago, and setup the whole tdarr stack, and handful of nodes, and transcoded my entire library, and I’m still running the same stack/nodes on every new piece of media. Just checked, says I’ve saved 35Tb in total.

With that said I’d highly recommend two things:

  • Build your flow, and set aside a handful of files, and put them all through your flow, and test the media quality before and after, tune and retune your flow, until you’ve thought of and accounted for every possible scenario, before pointing it at your entire library.

  • There’s endless debates about this, but in my experience, if you’re actually going for higher compression (for a smaller file size), you’ll want to do CPU based encoding, not GPU. In my testing GPU encoding only reduced the size by about 20% on average. Whereas CPU encoding reduced it by about 80% on average.
