I think people are confused because the difference between mount on access and mount on boot is meaningless for 98% of people. I can think of reasons to need the latter, but not many.

In my experience, majority of therapists are garbage. I’ve experienced the same, but once you get one who actually shows up and is actually good at what they do, it’s worth it.
- Comment on MicroProse reveal Dungeon Holdem a mixture of poker and dungeon crawling that looks ace 6 days ago:
Microprose, now that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time.
It seems like they’ve had a lot of companies licensing out the name for various minor things over the past few decades, but now some guy in Australia bought the name fully and is trying to buy up as much Microprose IP as he can to revitalize the company.

Yeah, or even the other way around. It’s kind of generic, but we feel pretty good about one of the better ways of reducing your risk of cancer being to exercise and eat healthy and that will also get your libido going.

With the quantity of ejaculations being self controlled, this feels like we could just be looking at a marker of general health.
- Comment on this thing look burned to you? 1 week ago:
If that’s the case, I’d replace the fuse at least if you can get one cheap. Good luck sourcing that cap though, probably looking at finding one with compatible specs instead of the exact part and if you choose right that’s probably fine. I hate doing this kind of work, so probably better people to talk to, but from what I can see and if I had to fix it, I’d replace the fuse and then see how I feel.

Don’t want to segue too much, but is your goal here to repair the board or to repair the TV?
Nothing really looks totally busted, but the board has several parts that look mildly rough. Like I hate that fuse, but is it just dirty? If your goal is to do your part to not contribute more ewaste to the world and learn new things, I love it, but if you just want a working TV… new boards can frequently be crazy cheap, may be a plan especially if not sure what’s actually wrong with this one.

Exercise, have a salad for dinner sometimes, be careful who you date and keep friends you can trust to tell you when you’re fucking up.

I’ve been using Technitium for about 3 years and I’m with you.
Whenever I think I get it, I search for the solution to a problem I’m having and see the developer respond and feel like I get less than half the things in the explanation. My setup definitely works and it has never failed me… but there are a lot of things where I don’t understand why at all and yeah I am also using maybe 10% of the options available. I’m not sure I’ll ever get past the intimidating phase.

You were right, the style change is very noticeable, but id still say it’s a worthwhile read.

- Comment on What do we do when all the crts are gone? 2 weeks ago:
Latency is not 0 like op suggests but he’s not entirely wrong about the latency comparison to modern displays (at a technical level for your average modern display). You are still correct that the numbers are so low typically that it’s not an issue for… 99.9% of people. Probably more.
If we’re talking to someone like a top competitive street fighter player though, I’m super interested in how they feel about CRTs vs modern displays. Note that this is also a different conversation if you’re on a TV that doesn’t have some sort of a Game Mode, those can be rough.
Great writeup on real world CRT input lag: resetera.com/…/crts-have-8-3ms-of-input-lag-addre…
- Comment on Multi node media server 3 weeks ago:
Are you trying to serve higher than 1080p? I have heard that 4k can be rough, but I avoid that personally because it also dramatically limits the amount of media I can store. Not sure of your actual bandwidth, but the raw bandwidth required on regular 1080p streams should be relatively light while utilizing modern codecs and you can also limit the per-stream bandwidth in your remote access settings.
I’m in the US, but I have pretty shit upstream bandwidth and I’ve served 7 people at once before. It pushed it a bit, but plex managed it. If you are doing 4k content though, yeah, that’s going to be rough with anything and I have no good advice.
- Comment on Multi node media server 3 weeks ago:
There are some cluster based experiments with Plex, but they’re mostly focused on distributing transcoding. There’s also a lot of projects around clustering locally with kubernetes/etc but I think that would be painful with your setup. Closest option I can think of is jellyswarrm with multiple discrete servers ‘swarmed’ together. You’d have to combine it with something to move files between the local servers, it’s going to be weird.
Why do you feel like you need more than one media server? A singular server can serve quite a lot of content for a good sized quantity of people.
- Comment on AI has had zero effect on jobs so far, says Yale study 3 weeks ago:
This is actually a problem a lot of people are working on, they used to call the resulting failure ‘model collapse’. Training AI on existing slop does tend to deteriorate and is overall a bad time for AI.

Curious about your problem. I’m using NFS instead of samba now, but legitimately never faced any problems doing what you’re describing previously.

Not saying it’s entirely cool, but wow base game purchase usually includes all expansions except the latest nowadays and that rolls (you get newer ones as more expansions are released) if you had an account historically.

- Comment on Plex got hacked. 1 month ago:
This part should have been a lot more visible and not just hidden as part of a generalized forum post. The error the individual users got doesn’t do anything to make it clear what the user or server owners need to do.
As an intentional change by Plex, presenting basic guidance as to what the error theyve caused means should be the absolute bare minimum. This is the piece that annoys me most.

- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
You’re facing down an unpopular opinion, but it’s mostly because you’re also obviously purposefully pretending that you don’t understand the real issue because I assume you’re trolling, bored, or maybe just a shitty person.
You’re presenting it as ‘kids shouldnt watch porn’ but completely ignoring the implications to individual liberty.

- Comment on Taco Bell Says 'No Más' to AI Drive-Thru Experiment 1 month ago:
Seconded, mine got rid of actual in store ordering and replaced it with kiosks that are basically just a giant interface for the mobile app years ago. I’ve heard most of their drive through orders are from mobile orders too now, but that is purely anecdotal just from chatting with the guy at the drive through window while I was waiting after placing a mobile order in the parking lot.
- Comment on The recent Steam censorship debacle actually sort of opened me up to adult games. 2 months ago:
You do kind of have to buy into it. Most of the engagement of the story is locked behind the various options there, and it can really be surprisingly good beyond the adult content.
Maybe don’t explore anything that’s a full on ick, but I would second that, if there’s something you’re at least neutral on I’d recommend giving it another shot.
