  • even if you’re already logged in, apps do not find and recognize your local server without internet access.

    You set your server in those app’s settings to not use direct connect and thus they are being routed through Plex’s servers

    When you select your Plex libraries from the drop-down there are usually 2 options, one will be the local IP and say (direct), that’s always the best choice if you’re able

    I just turned off my Internet connection to my Chromecast and tested, no issues with accessing my media


  • who are familiar with technical terminology and several concepts and steps are left out and implied rather than explained.

    Said it before and I’ll say it again: had to manually install some software to make Steam tinker launch work, and the instructions for installing it were to download and prepare the GitHub folder, then “do the usual and move the completed file to …”

    Ive used git in the past and it still took me multiple minutes to figure out they meant the “make && build” command. Why was that so hard to fucking write??






  • Put brand new drive into system, begin clone

    When clone is done, pull drive out and place in a cardboard box

    Take that box to my off-site storage (neighbors house) and bury it

    (In truth I couldn’t afford to get to the 1 off-site in time and have potentially tragically lost almost 4TB of data that, while replacable, will take time because I don’t fucking remember what I even had lol. Gonna take the drives to a specialist tho cuz I think the plates are fine and it’s the actual reading mechanism that’s busted)

    Maybe this invention can be used on places where trees cannot lives, but I’d still take a city with trees over a city full of green tanks.

    These in the spots where trees once stood but were too destructive & trees everywhere else imo. Cool tech future AND trees, plus these are benches too it looks like

    trees dont ruin ANY human infrastructure

    I think you mean all, as this reads more like “nuh uh, trees don’t ruin anything”

    But smarter urbanism is possible and in fact does exist.

    And those are not the norm, so for places that don’t plan to just destroy what’s already there and start anew, this is an option

    Because there’s no serious answers being given even though there are at least 2:

    • trees have roots, roots ruin any nearby human infrastructure. You’ll note this says “in urban environments” and that there are trees nearby, so this is probably the big reason
    • trees need maintenance, which costs money. this is a stupid reason imo, but it’s one nonetheless
    • algae is cool, ok?
