“…police confiscated a crossbow, a BB gun and various documents among other items, they added.”

Am I a joke to you?

La Quinta?

Recommendation: Patriot / Perpetual Grace, LTD

#Patriot# is a show about a covert spy dude from the u.s. who is very depressed, and a quiet folk singer, and unusually adept at violence. His task is to get hired undercover at a Milwaukee industrial piping firm so he can do spy shit in Luxembourg and Iran. They managed two 10-episode story arcs out of this, and I love it....

Dave_r ,

So, so good.

Dave_r OP ,

Interesting. Ombi means I don’t have to run docker. How do you like it?

Dave_r OP ,

My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?

Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.

Does Overseerr do this?

Dave_r ,

This is the way.

I just saw mangosteen in Chinatown Manhattan… First time seeing them in the us!!

Dave_r ,

We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn’t detect them, it’s because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).

Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

Good questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.

TIL The first recorded human death by robot was in 1979 when 25-year-old Ford Motor assembly line worker Robert William was struck by an arm of a malfunctioning one-ton robot (www.wikiwand.com)

Williams was one of three operators of the parts retrieval system, a five-story robot built by the Unit Handling Systems division of Litton Industries. The robot was designed to retrieve castings from high density storage shelves at the Flat Rock plant. Part of the machine included one-ton transfer vehicles, which were carts on...

There is a steel mill (recycling plant) in my town. They give tours every Friday. I have been 3 times, twice with teams of (software) engineers.

If you want to go see what engineering means when lives are on the line, tour a steel mill. Fucking amazing.

Red hot rebar headed downstream at 40mph - holy shit!

Park tool has good, informative videos: park tool

Saint Sheldon Brown is one of the best, original sources for internet cycling knowledge.

Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

Tentatively raises hand…

Dave_r ,

Yes, several times. Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I’d known this in advance, I’d have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.

Dave_r OP ,

Deleted by user.

Dave_r OP ,

Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I’d tell my parents.

And yeah, that fixed it. I’m tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.

Dave_r OP ,

You don’t understand the depths of my shame.

I was in OS support for 5 years. I supported DOS 5.

I work with software Dev teams all day long, including designing highly available services.

And I do after hours tech support for elders (my folks) and house mates (my fam).

If anybody knows to reboot…

I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said “Abed?”. He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.

Ahh the Midnight Mellon Mounter

Once upon a time windows had absolute pathing. When you saved, it went in the directory you were in out where you told it.

Some time ago windows went to path relative to user. So now when you save to ‘desktop’ it could be one of several desktop folders. Windows tries to hide this by mapping ‘desktop’ to your user relative desktop, but it does this at the application level rather than in the base O/S. (Or, it does it on extended file system APIs). Some apps handle it, some apps don’t. If you have multiple users on a PC, it’s a mess.

This is great! By far the best for swipe type.

Dave_r ,

I just sent a friend this very question. Tusks for the good suggestions! Moved to Open board + swipe and it sends great.

I just finished ‘Player of Games’ - Ian M. Banks. I liked it, it felt immersive.

Just started The Passenger by the late great Cormac McCarthy. I’m about a 3rd through, listening on audio book via Libby (read at 85% speed). It’s a little hard not to put it in the context of No Country and the border trilogy - Mr. M does seem to have a type. I’m pleased that many of McCarthy’s liberties with words seem to come through on audio, but I imagine I’m missing a lot. All in all I’m enjoying it. Next up my book club is reading All The Pretty Horses, so I’m in for the ride as it were. (Weirdly, there was a longer wait for his other work than The Passenger. I guess people are in the wait and see mode).

A friend recommended Midlife by Kieran Setiya. I have to say - it’s quite dense, and I feel like I’m not doing it justice. I’ll definitely keep going.

Dave_r ,

Shoes.

Shoes, with the Aglets of the laces resting upon them.

Dave_r ,

“Lost” seems a bit too much - how about unmanaged?

Dave_r ,

Hmm… I don’t know how to predict the impact on the U. S. Economy. Less capital in the market seems… Bad. But the sale of China owned assets to (U. S.) owners seems good?

C_bskt , to cooking

Still calibrating the Lynx
Dinner was carrot mint salad, shoshito peppers, and BBQ chicken. Note to self - turn the heat down on the gas grill...

Good lord - posting from Mastodon works! Even the images came across.

Dave_r ,

Interesting - they sell not only repairable phones but OEM phones with the /e/ os (degoogled Android).

Dave_r ,

If I read it right: the government is paying for commercial (phone) location data. There are 3 issues:

  • creepy: the government shouldn’t have this
  • costly: they are buying it with our tax dollars
  • comprehensive (?): They are getting everything (money can buy)?

If the government were to require this (like via a search warrant) rather than pay for it it would go through a mountain of legal oversight. It seems like the interpretation is: commercially available = publically available.

I guess what I would want to know next is: who gets access to this?
