Does your host have a Plex pass? If not, you’ll need a remote pass to watch from outside the host’s network. Or your host needs a plex pass. They implemented this a while ago.

There’s loads of things in tv shows that just skip the boring, logistical parts. Nobody wants to see a bookkeeper painstakingly taking leaflets and bets in orderly fashion.

Besides, if there’s no record whatsoever, what’s to stop a bookie from taking money from the losers, and telling the winners ‘prove it’? Besides a knuckle sandwich, that is.

Another one is basically any desk job, but particularly IT jobs in TV and movies. Even the most elite hackers don’t just insert a thumb drive in a laptop, hammer the keyboard and yell ‘I’m in’. Mr. Robot is the only show so far where hacking is portrayed somewhat believable, and it’s still mostly social engineering.

As for programming, the only show I’ve ever seen who do a realistic way of describing VC funding and agile project development is Silicon Valley, but even there you’ll find the most boring things are just omitted.

Point is, it’s just difficult to make administrative tasks interesting enough to keep the attention of viewers.

Most notable I think is there’s this dude who asks for any old pc parts you might have lying around, he’ll cover shipping but the stuff needs to be donated, and he makes gaming or office systems for countries in need.

I donated a case and a PSU to a cause and it got shipped off to Ukraine to replace broken stuff.

Maybe I’m biased but my two cents is no. Not at all.

I think people who impose their kids on others are the assholes.

The thing with new parents is that they are, in my experience, completely devoid of any personality they used to have. They may have been fun people at some point, but once they get pregnant, it’s pretty much all they can talk about.

I’ve got some close friends who are on the cusp of becoming parents but my wife and I have made it quite clear we are not at all interested in that part of their lives. And they accept that.

Especially seeing as how you’ve not spoken to this person for some time, ‘catching up’ is out of the question if children are involved. Unless they’re passed out or whatever. It seems to me this person is just looking for an excuse to talk about their children for a couple of hours while you politely nod and agree. For them, the best case scenario is that you’re as happy to be around those kids as they are.

I think you can set boundaries if you are not looking forward to meeting with the kids around.

Containerized software. The main advantage of this is that every application, or stack of applications, runs in its own ecosystem. You can restart a container whenever without having to reboot your entire system. You can store all data off a container in a volume, so if you hit a snag, you can recreate the container without actually losing any of your configs.

You can also create networks so that apps run in different subnets than other apps.

Very simply put, a docker container is like a mini system that runs on your main system.

Something else I like about docker is docker compose. You can create a container or stack of containers with a single simple YAML file without actually having to install anything yourself. I manage my containers in Portainer.

This was Meppel but every municipality in the Netherlands has a free marriage half hour. It varies what day it is but it’ll usually be early morning.

I didn’t get married for the love or the religious reasons, it’s just way easier when you buy a house together. Now, if I die, all my stuff automatically belongs to my wife.

We got married on a Tuesday morning at the municipal building at 8:30 making it free. The only thing we spent money on was the rings.

Most things computer based, provided you have a feel for it. If you are interested in Business Intelligence, you can learn to work with Microsoft Fabric and there are plenty of companies in the data field that are hiring, offering traineeships etc. Same goes for the more technical data engineering, software development, etc.

I’m European and never left the continent. I found Copenhagen (Denmark) to be one of the least inviting places I’ve ever been. That’s not to say Denmark is like this or even that I didn’t have a good time in Copenhagen. It’s just that pretty much everywhere, people seem to be in a hurry.

But my baseline in Europe is that everything is just amazing. People are nice, accomodating, helpful. Especially in the slightly smaller cities. I especially enjoyed Krákow and Gent.

I have the T6 as my main but I cannot do per-room heating because my Sonoff TRV’s cannot talk to it in HA. I got the T6 before working with HA though. In my country the T6 is WiFi and you need the Resideo app.

Yeah I can’t wait to blink in three days and wake up to October 7th

I have a really cute cat that actually shows affection and meows really cute

Gambling is very addictive and free money is a powerful incentive for people with little hope.

I figured they mean the cpu lid but just misnamed it

I’ll ask a no stupid question back: you did open the socket, right? With the lil clip beside it?

Don’t Let The Bells End by the Darkness?

It has been ruled illegal in the Netherlands only last year but companies still do it and het away with it.

Yeah after Pefgy Sue he never wanted to be in any Coppola movies

Jonathan Nolan is Christopher Nolan’s nephew and they share an uncle in John Nolan.
