Swamp coolers suck, they don’t work on humid days, they make any paper in your house damp and damage books, the pads will get moldy and you’ll be breathing in that mold blowing directly into your house along with its smell and to even get any use out of them they have to be moving a ton of air so your whole house is a wind tunnel when it’s on. My first summer living in NM we had one, my dad pulled it and installed a real air conditioner shortly after.
2/10 wouldn’t recommend
Yeah it pretty much is, they fired Frank right before shooting season 2, they demanded 13 episodes a season up from 6, as well as budget cuts out the ass. YMS has a short series about the differences between 1 and 2 if you’re interested.
The Walking Dead. I started because it was popular when it came out, plus Frank Darabont directing. Season 1 was good, then AMC fired him. Seasons 2 and 3 dragged so I stopped after 3. Fast forward to the end of the series and my fiance wanted to watch the episodes as they came out. My first reaction was “why the fuck are there Stormtroopers in this zombie show?”
Yeah I enjoyed GeoGuessr and wishlisted it in Steam when it was announced. Got an email from Steam saying it was available and opened the store page to see the overwhelmingly negative reviews.
I’ve played OpenGuessr and it’s pretty close to the same experience, I never do versus or anything, just a casual player. I did notice it tended to put me in the same countries quite often, like 8 instances of Brazil and 3 in the Philippines in 20 rounds, but still enjoyable.
Now that I have more experience with Linux yeah I’ve gained some skills, still just scratching the surface though. TrueNAS just worked for me, maybe just due to my simple use case as a Plex server/ light network storage.
KDE Plasma has been great for me since it (as well as Cinnamon on my Mint system) are close to the Windows ecosystem I’ve been used to for decades, so it makes sense for me. Having KDE Connect out of the box helps move ROMs from my desktop to my Steam Deck without having a dingle dongle adapter for a flashdrive, works kinda like AirDrop in my experience. Pus I like the way it looks out of the box, except for the floating taskbar which I immediately locked to the bottom of the screen.
At some point I’ll setup Syncthing and automate that process for keeping game states synced up as well.
Fair, like I said I’m not smart so I was only following a YouTube tutorial on how to install Arch, first time the guy was using Gnome which I didn’t like so I had to find another that showed KDE. All those experiments and even the Plex server setup were built alongside YT tutorials and an IT friend who also has a Plex server helping me with upgrades when I needed to add a SAS card for additional drives.
I’ve honestly just been winging it here lmao
Care to explain? I run TrueNAS because it was the easiest for me to setup at the time. I’m not smart and it was a simple and free solution. Plex because Jellyfin wasn’t where it is now, but also because again, I’m not smart and I have family outside my network use the server. Setting up wire guard and all that makes my brain hurt, let alone getting my mother to understand how to connect to Jellyfin.
Already engaged 👈😎👈
I’m a masochist, not only have I installed Arch from CLI several times, I’ve attempted running GPU passthrough to a Windows VM on several different distros just to play like 3 games that only run on Windows.
I attempted this through a fresh build of Arch, 7800 XT for the Linux system and an RTX 3090 for the VM. Every attempt in hijacking the 3090 failed, refusing to not load the card on boot. I struggled with this for hours and days, and through multiple different distros, all while my gf pretended to understand what the fuck I was talking about. “Ok, honey, I’ll be in the living room watching my shows.”
This went on for a while until I decided to give up and just build a second system dedicated for MichaelSoft Bindows.
When my Plex server had a botched TrueNAS update, this effected her as well. Not only were there shows she was watching on there, but she had to endure a week of me copying my media from different drives to rebuild the server on every piece of storage I had in the apartment. I’d come home from work and immediately continue working on it. Computers left on overnight with little progress bars slowly filling up. She’d call me into the kitchen for dinner or ask me to come to bed at 1am when we both had to be up at 6am.
She was actually supportive, maybe a little annoyed, but supportive nonetheless. Everything has now worked as intended for over a year and she even uses our home theater PC running Mint with no complaints or hiccups. Soon I will convince her to move her gaming PC to Linux as well, in due time though.
Absolutely fuck them for this if true, and as a carrier I will not comply if they start coming down and asking us if names are valid at addresses. They can walk me off the job, charge me with obstruction, I don’t care.
Just another arm of the Gestapo and I hate that I’m associated with them. Time to look for a new job.
I woke up from a good sleep last year, got up refreshed and ready for work. First time in years that it happened. Stood up and did a big yawn and stretch, then felt a sharp ripping feeling in my back. I tore a muscle stretching. I was 29 and it still wants to lock up today.
Bonus; tore it a year before almost to the day by literally just rolling over in bed. I felt it happen, said “aw fuck” and went back to sleep. Road trip to Maine and Martha’s Vineyard cancelled because the pain was too intense to drive.
They’re actually not prepaid, they’re counted as postage due at the destination office and either charged to their account automatically or paid at the time of pickup.
There are lower cost options like nonprofit or third class postage, but that’s usually what they’re paying to send out the junk with these business reply envelopes in the first place. Business reply mail AFAIK is charged at the first class postage rates.
Sadly we have a weight and size limit on these, but if you can load a mini fridge and keep it under 70lbs it should be accepted.
Legally this is not shipping advice and purely a shitpost
Didn’t they just announce it a few days ago? I was not expecting it to release already, wow
Aww little pissbaby snowflake getting sad? Did the meanie weenie wittle lefties hurt your wittle baby feelers? Wittle baby bitch sad he lost millions over a state court election and tesla stocks? Do you need your wittle tesla robot to give you your bottle? Did daddy trump not give you ice cream to make you feel better? Maybe get out of our government you unelected fascist fuck, go take a ride on your spacex rocket and hope your overworked and underpaid engineers put all the bolts in the ship
Xubuntu brought a garbage Vista era system to usable levels for me for a dumb video I made a while ago, wasn’t fast but definitely usable.
Battlebit Remastered is my first thought, feels like Battlefield and looks like Roblox/Minecraft. It’s fun and plays well and has community servers which were active last time I played.
Disclaimer: does have Easy Anticheat software
And has reliability issues, I got one for my mom so she could use my Plex server, it died just outside of warranty. She didn’t use it often so it wasn’t used and abused, just stopped outputting video one day.
Patrolling the Mojave almost makes me wish for nuclear winter
I don’t think we should continue burning any fossil fuels but that’s not what I was talking about. I was making a personal testimony on why I dislike swamp coolers.
