This is me too. I've got about 5TB of material being seeded 24/7 from my media seever, but I rarely see more than single-digit GB total upload volume per day. The majority of the time, except for the occasional blip, I rarely see total upload rate get over a few hundred kB/s despite having the cap at 24MB/s.
I'd have to stop torrenting completely and only seed for a year to get my ratio past 2.0 lol
What!? Did we just become worst enemies???
That could be it. It was a turbocharged compact (back before literally everything was a 4cyl turbo), though not externally very flashy. So maybe he was just one of those guys who sported a perpetual hste-boner for imports.
Pardon? I just assumed there was a cabinet position lined up.
Probably 15 years ago while on a freeway interchange, some guy behind me on a cloverleaf whipped past after we merged onto the freeway then slowed down in the left lane to match the speed of a semi. It was clearly intentional as the road was otherwise relatively empty and he kept pace with the truck for a good 10 miles, blocking me in.
To this day I have no idea what his problem was, and part of me feels bad for him because... what normal happy person just randomly takes time out of their day to fuck with someone to thay extent!? But I remember it clearly, so it obviously pissed me off to a degree, yet it feels really petty to still think about it, so idk.
For what it's worth, if i ever find myself elderly with end stage cancer, I would consider it a kindness to be able to go out painlessly and relatively quickly.
I don't have kids, but when I was a kid I loved Spaghetti-Os and that candy that comes in a toothpaste tube but is literally just gelatinous sugar syrup. I probably would've loved the cybertruck too.
I'm guessing you already know this... but that is literally the reason why A&W's 1/3lb burger (launched to compete with McDonalds' 1/4 pounder) failed lol
I mean, 20TB drives will work in an array just as well as 8TB 😉
Honestly with the price of refurb enterprise drives, it's really hard not to justify not going that route and just keeping a spare drive formatted on warm standby at all times.
A bit of a digression though, since OP isn't looking to cram a bunch of drives into an old mini case.
I think they are referring to grifters and sexual predators being held accountable for their actions.
If you have a son you should be worried as well! Im scared for my son in this crazy world!
My fucking sides! 🤣
Maybe, but did the old logo sEaMlEsSlY bLeNd upper and lower case letters in ViSuAl HaRmOnY?
Candied yams from a can with toasted marshmallows is all I need! Everything else is details.
Save some clown makeup for the rest of us!
Fully agree.
I've purchased refurb drives from both them and GoHardDrive.com. So far I'm 5/5 for a mix of Exos and HGST Ultrastar drives working perfectly out of the box.
Anytime these drives pop up on Slickdeals, the thread is full of 3 types of people: People who have never bought a refurb/recert drive but insist they are all going to burn your house down, people who have bought several with no issue, and people who have received a failing drive that the seller promptly replaced.
If the only exposure you got for the election that you paid attention to because it was “entertainment” was a “funny” Joe Rogan clip your buddy sent you of the Trump interview...
This right here is hitting on the real problem. People are fed bullshit from firehoses coming in all direction, so they feel like they are informed because of what they have passively taken in. It takes some real effort to step back and think "What if the things I've been hearing are not the full story?", and even more effort to take the next step and actively seek out information that might challenge what you have already heard and internalized. We are ALL guilty of this to some degree.
But if you don’t have the capacity to be tuned in because fucking everything is designed to stress you out and extract what little money you have…
Precisely--it is 100% the point. If you are stressed out working 2 jobs and raising a kid, you are going to have a lot less energy to keep your bullshit detector running and the simple solutions to complex problems naturally sound more appealing.
This one never fails to get a solid chuckle out of me!
The comedic timing of him freaking out about the bush just a few beats after the firework chaos does down is just.... chef's kiss
I have no idea why you're downvoted. There is nothing remotely "I'm going to hell for this" about this post.
Emphasize / De-emphasize communities
I have no idea if this is possible to implement on the client side, but it would be really cool to be able to pick which subbed communities are emphasized or de-emphasized in your feed.
For example if you're on a niche sub that only gets a few posts per week, maybe you want to ALWAYS see new content regardless of how many upvotes or comments it gets.
Conversely, I enjoy a few meme subs, but right now Risa completely dominates new/hot/best filtering for me. I'd be perfectly happy just seeing the top few posts sprinkled throughout my feed.
Printer steppers causing lights to flicker
I've noticed for awhile now that whenever my Ender 3 S1 Pro is running, some of the lights on the same circuit will flicker seemingly in time with changes in X or Y stage movement. I'd guess that it's a combination of these stages causing minor voltage spikes/dips when they accelerate, and certain cheaper LED bulbs don't tolerate those spikes/dips well.
Has anyone else experienced this and implemented a good fix? It seems like some kind of power smoothing/conditioning filter plugged in between the printer and the wall would help isolate it. Most of those devices seem designed to isolate the device from fluctuations in the mains, and I'm not sure if it generally works both ways (seems like it should...)
Googling around most people are blaming similar issues on poor wiring, which I suppose could be the case even though this is a newer house. But I see very little in terms of actual proven effective fixes, even though it sounds pretty straightforward on its face.
Advice / thoughts?
F*$# cancer
Not sure where else to post this, but I just learned that an old buddy lost his lengthy battle with cancer this evening after putting up a solid fight. If anyone feels like raising a glass to a random stranger, I'm sure he'd appreciate it.
Fuck cancer, and be excellent to each other 🥃
Opening photo in landscape mode clips off the bottom edge
Basically, the title. When opening a photo with my phone in landscape mode, frequently the bottom 5-10% of the photo is clipped off, and I cannot scroll down or zoom out to view it. Oddly, if I zoom in enough, then I can scroll down to view the clipped part.
I've only noticed it when my phone is rotated in landscape mode, so I'm not entirely sure if it's limited to that mode, or if a tall enough picture would cause the same thing in portrait mode

How to remove instance login for selection menu?
I accidentally created a guest account by tapping "browse as guest" when trying to view an instance. This created a Guest_1 account in my list of instance accounts. Is there any way to remove this?

Saw L7 posted yesterday, immediately reminded me of this banger from about 20 years later!

It would frequently be helpful to have the post you are directly replying to visible in the Reply screen. Or perhaps a "Show/Hide Parent Comment" toggle on the Reply screen on case you want to refer back or quote specific details from the parent.

For example, have "Show NSFW" active when logged in to one account, but disabled when switching to another. Because... reasons 😉
I believe Jerboa has this feature (account specific view settings}
Really enjoying the app by the way!
PLA or PETG for shop light mounting brackets?

I know PLA is a bit stiffer at room temp, but I'm worried it might soften too much at the worst case of warm temperatures. > > Any thoughts on PLA vs PETG for this situation?
