    Do you bother blind people about how they could experience the world if they were sighted, too?

    Like its a moot point, idk what you hope to gain here other than being a dick about how your way is better when I have no way to ever know, and you can never see my point of view either.

    Thats not better.

    Just because I’m not into what you are into doesn’t mean my life is lacking. You like chocolate, I don’t like sweets much at all but if I have to choose a flavor, I like the taste of un-flavored foods as much as I like a strong curry.

    Same thing. You see my life as lacking because of what you think I should like based on what you like, but it’s plenty rich in ways that actually speak to what I like.

    If you drink beer and want to try making your own, you can make a beer (I did a cream ale, if memory serves) using crabapple (the little round red ones usually grown ornamentally) and blueberry, and what results is a hot pink beer that tastes like a less acidic grapefruit.

    Its a recipe I came up with afaik, but I used 5 lbs crabapple and 3 lbs blueberry to a 5 gallon cream ale base. Everyone who tried it said it tasted like grapefruit.

    If you use a mobile client thats probably the cause. On voyager they look the same to me as well.

    The apps have been heavily developed to fix the instance interoperability quirks, but a lot of users are on web where the ! link works better.

    If you are already on web version then idk. My info might be outdated.

    I ‘flirt’ because dudes assume thats what I’m doing when I’m just having a conversation, and panic when they treat it like flirting. Because it isn’t, ever, I’m ace/aro, keep your dick in your pants; I just like human connection.

    But I’m also a chick magnet and I can’t explain that away with basic human decency…? I guess I give off vibes? I mean ladies are 1,000,000 more appealing than men, but I still don’t want to sex them (tried both, meh)






  • Those people aren’t mature enough to be out in society. Seriously, humans need dog-like socialization classes to learn how to behave around other humans.

    I’m sorry that happened, but I hope you stuck with the healthy thing you were doing because its good for you, and didn’t let some assholes get in your head.


  • If you run the heat/climate control along with the range loss from the cold, it ads up pretty fast, to probably about that number. I found that out when I went to pick mine up 2.5 hrs away. It was cold spring weather and raining, so fogged windows and numb fingers if heat not running. The impacts screen showed a whopping 30% of my battery use on that drive was climate control alone. I have since learned how to use the vents without climate control, but it wouldn’t have helped much on that drive.

    It can make the drive no problem in nicer weather without the heat on, even using the AC is pretty cheap, battery-wise (about 3% on the same drive, though I do keep it set just a few degrees cooler than outside temps in the current weather), but running the heat/climate control just soaked my range. Had to stop at a fast charger, got back to like 85%, and still barely made it the second half of the trip.

    Anecdotal, ofc.



  • I understood about two thirds of that tbh.

    Im the sort of person why plex is still a big thing. Just enough knowledge, but not enough for all the things.

    I know docker isn’t the only option (idk if thats what you mean) but idk any of what you proposed as alternative. Ill send this to IT person, maybe they’ll get it, but i don’t :) i want to get the things, but i don’t have the background knowledge to make them digestible. Have a degree in technical communication, so very good at learning, more for science than tech, unless I can find a good tech guide first and then I’m great (but tech people are notoriously shit at documentation for anyone even remotely lacking in tech skill)


  • Genuinely don’t know how to set those things up, and “my personal IT” doesn’t know either because they also have limited docker experience, and no media management experience, the media stuff is my contribution, and I do it painfully manually (i like curating, so its largely fine, but its painfully manual). i’ve been looking into it on and off for a hot minute. But I have zero docker experience which is the main way those things are done afaik.

    If you know of a good guide for those things, one that doesn’t assume you are a whiz with docker already, I’d be interested. Personal IT person does security and used to sysadmin, so I’m sure they could figure it out if i can’t, but we haven’t found any particularity good guides for it that were digestible without the background knowledge. Something neither of us has any other reason to learn, so hasn’t been done.


  • Good to know, I’ll have to look into that. I’d like my jelly set up for the very few highly technical people I know who can manage their own connections (I got my limited technical skills somewhere!!), as well as my own home use, so thats helpful. Also to have a backup option for the person I care enough about to manage a VPN for (literally one person, but I also want them to have access to my calibre database as well as share folders for GOG games, and they are with it enough to learn what I teach them for maintaining the connection)

    Im not sure exactly when I became a data hoarder, but I certainly am now, and more tools are good. Thanks for that info :)
