Not particularly useful at all, but meets the obscur box for sure, and I didn’t read the “useful” part of the title until after already typing this post.

I used to frequent this page in the early 2000s:

The Best Page In The Universe. https://maddox.xmission.com/

Specifically, he had an amazing blog post about Ben Stiller at the height of his career: https://maddox.xmission.com/c.cgi?u=ben_stiller_should_star_in_every_movie^___^

If it happens soon, he can only run for one more term. Knowing how slimy the GOP is though, they will string this along to give him 1y 364d of this term, so he can run twice more. 10 years is the maximum our current system allows a president to serve.

My self hosted wireguard has no issues, so no idea what this is on about… I leave my VPN connected for many hours at a time and never had a crash as this post is indicating. Sounds device specific, but have not seen the issue on my S22U or S26U.

Personally, I’m wondering what a big magnet might do to something like this.

This is not a TPM encryption issue, if it were you would be prompted for a recovery key instead of a standard BSOD. I would assume failing HHD/SSD/NVME boot drive or driver conflict. You can try launching into safe mode which will give you a chance to copy your data. If that fails, installing Windows into a new, empty drive or a Linux live environment may be another viable option to you.

Get yourself a small 2 bay NAS in mirror mode and get your data backed up.

Right there with you bud. I stopped after they killed the first drug lord in a wheelchair. I think it was the second season. Man what a boring show.

I kind of feel the same about Plur1bus, but at least that show is interesting to see very prominent locations completely void of population.

Holy shit this is brilliant. I find much better results searching our archive solution for a term than whatever Outlook returns for me.

I have an HP multi function that can print on multiple types of paper, including cardstock, photo and glossy magazine. I’ve made reprinted NES instruction booklets on it even. I know everyone says “HP Bad”, but they are all making the toner move. I accidentally updated my dad’s Epson color inkjet printer and it started complaining about his black ink cartridge. Lesson learned, just don’t update firmware on ANY brand and block their update servers at your router if possible.

Thanks! I do have several cassette players, including the one my grandmother recently used to listen to these same tapes. I assumed the process is similar to what you laid out but have yet to get my system set up for said conversion.

And for the photos, I’m already planning that too. I have a stand alone scanner but know it’s a very tedious process from past personal scanning projects, and I have a tote full of I scanned photos. Maybe I’ll task my oldest with it later this year I’m her “down time” lol.

If I digitize anything, I only trust myself with that. I’m too OCD to trust a third party!

To be fair, with two daughters that are 1.5 years apart, we also have many more of our older daughter. We had more time to take pictures between naps and active time and less attention split once our second was born. Do I have remorse of having less pictures of our youngest? Of course, but it really was a challenge to get as many pictures with a 2 year old running around a baby that can’t even crawl yet!

Switch to UseNet. No seedin’ required!

I recently digitized my family’s (and extended family) VHS and new to me 5.5 VHS camcorder tapes. Now I have my grandfather’s cassette tape collection of accordion recordings. Have yet to fiddle with losslessly digitizing those but I’m sure I’ll figure out out. My mom also has my other grandfather’s Super 8 camcorder she claims has their wedding video on it. Need to eventually get my hands on that and figure that out as well.

Scanning pictures however is the worst. You can use a 3rd party, but many of them dispose of your physicals after the fact and don’t guarantee the scans came through without error.

Awesome! My wife just had her IUD removed and will probably start tracking again. Will get this set up for her and see if she likes it, will provide feedback if she has any.

They make profit off of that UI style and that’s all that really matters. Only a matter of time as I said.

It’s developed by a previous discord developer and looks exactly like Discord. Only a matter of time before they shut it down if it gains enough traction.

Waiting for a C&D from Discord. I’m avoiding on that premise alone.

Dr.'s hate this one trick - tell them you’re facing issues peeing and you’ll get recommended to a urologist. Even with my family history of prostate cancer I couldn’t get one until I started having issues with my stream. Sure enough my prostate is slightly enlarged even at 40 and am now on meds for it.

Vibe dev literally deleted the GitHub, the reddit and his accounts after being called out.

There was no reason for this in the first place in my opinion. The ONLY positive use I can see would be managing the whole arr stack from one place, but I imagine you would still need to manage individual shows\movies\whathaveyou if it wasn’t found in the first place.

I have my stacks set up to auto upgrade and find missing stuff already. It’s literally built into their programming. I manage them individually and anything that isn’t found on my indexers I typically go out and find manually as needed (old or very obscure media).

Not really sure what this bought anyone at all other than an extra layer of convenience?
