Salt nic is not exclusive to Juul, and only weed vapes use an oil. Vape juice is propylene glycol and vegetable glycerol with flavoring and nicotine.
(Source here is me, went to vapes to successfully quit smoking back when there was more threading than a 510, when mods were a milled tube and a button or flashlight guts, with an rca connector on top so you could switch between different thread types. It sucks what its become, it was really helpful for me to quit nicotine completelt by having a vape.)

I just have my downloader trigger a scan at completion.
I have a few proxmox clusters going, combining it all wouldn’t be practical. This way my servers (tiny/mini/micros I’ve repurposed) stay small with decent sized ssd’s, big storage in 2 NAS’s, and a third for backups.

I’d really recommend taking your own advice and actually reading the thread you are commenting in. Holy shit.
- Comment on Come to say thank you. Time to move from proprietary to Open Source 1 week ago:
My NASs are purely NAS, I prefer a Debian server for… Pretty much everything. But my storage only does storage, I keep those separate (even for an old PC acting as a NAS).
No matter what goes down, I can bring it back up, even with a hardware failure.

What strawman? Dude this is the entire basis of this comment thread. What the fuck are you talking about?
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 week ago:
Ah, yes, because everyone is provided a PC by their employer.
There aren’t self employed people or anything who maybe require a specific piece of software to get paid.
But what does it have to do with it? Its the entire thread dude, what are you talking about?

The only part that matters is detection.
Whether that detection is accurate or not is irrelevant.
- Comment on Nintendo Anti-Piracy Policy Device Lock Update Warns of Console Bricks for Unauthorized Use 1 week ago:
On the same basis as Ninte do, it wouldn’t matter if they are or are not, if their “detection” determines ita against terms, then its against terms.
False positives happen all the time.
- Comment on YSK if you have a library card or are a student, there's a free streaming service called Kanopy 1 week ago:
Generally independent films, classic movies, documentaries, are the most its used for. Lots of kids stuff though, like inspector gadget, Bob the builder, etc as well as live storybooks, storytime, etc.

- Comment on The Beauty Of Having A Pi-hole · Den Delimarsky 1 week ago:
Definitely dont bother with buying a pi if you’ve got other hardware.
I have one physical (a 3b I had no use for anymore), and two running as containers. The containers do most of the heavy lifting, since they are so much faster than a pi they respond far faster, but the physical is nice for when I take down the clusters for maintenance (or when I lose power, the clusters shut down after about 3 minutes, the pi will keep going for a while on UPS).

Another for Mealie.
I mostly use it to import recipes, though some more complicated ones (or ones that I’m tweaking a bit) I’ll take pictures, which is handy for tracking the cha yes I’ve made.
I dont do any major meal planning with it though, most of our shopping are just kitchen staples and whatever looks good/is a good price that day.

The reason you didnt list, but is the most likely answer in my experience - by spamming the user who was compromised, they will miss the orders placed using their account info, or the password reset, or other such emails.
You aren’t the target so much as the distraction tool for their other efforts.

If you’re already using cloudflare, I’d recommend a cloudflare tunnel to your reverse proxy.
As was said, many ISPs will block port 80/443, but they won’t be seeing it that way with a tunnel. You’ll also get some cloudflare protections in front of your services.

There is no curb on many of these streets to go onto, there are bollards to protect pedestrians preventing that.
Its a design problem combined with a congestion problem, that was the reason for the congestion relief toll.
- Comment on Canadian parliament on lockdown amid large police presence: ‘Lock all doors and hide’ 1 month ago:
apnews.com/…/canada-parliament-lockdown-76efd0030…
The Canadian Parliament’s security force locked down Parliament on Saturday after a man barricaded himself in the East Block section, Ottawa police said.
A social media post from Ottawa police said a “barricaded man is in the area of East Block” and urged people to avoid the area, noting there were no reports of injuries.
Ottawa police Insp. Mark Bouwmeester later told reporters the man “gained unauthorized access” to Parliament Hill’s East Block and that “the circumstances of this incident are considered suspicious.” But he gave few details about what was happening inside.
“We’re currently in contact with the individual and our priority is to resolve this situation peacefully,” he said. “At this time there is no known injuries and we believe that the man is the only person inside the building.”
Police would not say whether the man was believed to be armed or whether he had made threats.
Ottawa police brought in specialized units, including at least one canine unit and explosives units. Two bomb disposal unit robots were seen in front of Centre Block.
- Comment on Repurposing TB16 dock 1 month ago:
Its just a dock, so no.
It works with most laptops running Linux, but its still just a dock. That gigabit port is just a usb-c/thunderbolt device, it is not a full machine. Same with the video, its just DP alt mode, there is no GPU in there.
If you want a small form factor machine to use a server, look for a used tiny/mini/micro workstation.
- Comment on YSK that a new internet/account bypass during Windows 11 installs already exists. Here is a 7 step guide. 1 month ago:
I want to live in your fantasy land.
Its not hard. Just have a production Linux desktop and a production windows laptop, and it becomes pretty clear what you can do. Basic memos and emails are no problem through the web, and thats a huge number of people.
Why do I want even more shit in the cloud? Some stuff I want on-prem and don’t need it in the cloud.
Why buy cloud shit and then not use cloud shit?
Just don’t buy cloud shit and join to a local domain.
Plus, it’s now Entra ID.
Let me know when I need to type that at the CLI and I’ll stop calling it aad.

Eh, depending on what’s being done office.com is fine for most.
That aside, if this is a business and you’re using office apps, you have an account that should be getting used during setup. Thats not who this workaround is for, and not who the “just install Linux” comment is for.

That was my followup to the P133, a Cyrix MII chip (when they added MMX to the series), with the 266mhz chip! Ran like shit 😄. I think I replaced that with a K6.
Those were… Quickly changing times haha

I always dumpster dived for computers.
We played the same game! Thats how I ended up with a DEC pizza box (multia with an alpha 166 processor) and a SparcStation. Then I’d take them over with me to the computer show (it was more like a flea market, its unfortunate they no longer exist) after I played with them to trade - thats how I was able to get my hands on a 1x (yes you read that right) CD burner.
Good times!

For a ti-99/4a? Me too! It was my favorite thing (up until my dad bought a used 286 from work, then skipped a few generations and went right to a Pentium 133)

You would need to post your config.
First guess is read/write access. Either sonarr can’t read the download directory, or it can’t write to the media directory.
