Debian for server. Cachyos on desktop and laptop. Laptop was the test, using it on desktop with steam big picture mode hooked up to the TV for gaming.

I went Mint on the desktop when windows 10 reached EoL. Eventually switching to cachyos when I moved my servers to a mini Debian PC. I do have windows on a dual boot for now, but only for VR, have a rift-s, or to test a game to see if it runs better. Also need it to update Xbox controller. Forza horizon ran like shit in Linux when it launched. But I'd say I'm probably 98% all Linux now.

    And sometimes when I try to open a second workbook, it will stall until I click on the File tab, on the open workbook. Then bam, it will open up.

    Is it possible you were just entering information into a cell in the open workbook and didn't click enter or out of the cell? The only time Excel does that to me is due to the above. If so you don't have to click file but you do need to finish editing the cell value, either by clicking a different place in the worksheet hitting enter or clicking the menu like the file tab.

    Isn't Russian fuel sanctioned or some shit? How would fuel the US supposedly doesn't buy going to cause shortages? As opposed to the fucking straight that's shut down because of operation Epstein distraction?

    I have Blue Cross now. Kaiser is also offered, but significantly more expensive. I actually just looked up my plan and the X-ray should be $20-$40 copay. So they're just trying to fuck me over. Big surprise. The other BC plan, the PPO would be me covering until deductible is met, but I stopped using that plan because basic Dr visits were the same. No coverage until the deductible is met. My current plan has $20 pcp visits and $40 specialist or X-ray. But a higher deductible.

    I pay over $200 a week for my wife and myself. Employer supposedly pays even more. Just got an X-ray. Hospital couldn't even give me an estimate before I got it done as to the cost. Thinking it'd be a $40 copay or something, went ahead. Get a bill for $340. At bare minimum, we need to be able to know how much service will cost so we can at least make an informed decision. Realistically the entire system should be demolished, but the only way that's ever happening is if we get a few hundred or thousand more Luigi's.

    Not seeing my particular setup listed yet. Morphe and Firefox with ublock of course. But I also have a pihole running at home and a tailscale connection with the pihole configured as DNS. So I have pihole blocking even on my mobile data connection.

    Tailscale was initially setup so I can access Actual Budget when not on my LAN, but pihole on the go is definitely a big plus.

  • Cactus ID (lemmy.zip)
     

    Does anyone know what kind of cactus this is? My wife bought it off the marketplace, and I think it's supposed to be a fishbone. But it doesn't look like any pictures I'm seeing.

    Also wondering why it seems to have such different growth. All the plump new growth is since I put them under my lights. It's also now sprouting the reddish growth.

     

    First year growing beans, and they've been doing really good. I've blanched them for about 2 minutes, followed by an ice bath. Dried and then put in bags to freeze. First batch I don't think I fully dried before freezing and had a lot of ice crystals in the bag. Second batch was much more dry after blanching, but still had a bunch of ice crystals. Wondering if thats normal, or will reduce how long they stay good?

     

    Title probably isn't super clear but this is the one feature of sync that I really miss. In sync there was a double up arrow on comments, next to the upvote etc that would pop up a window showing the parent comment. Will add an example pic. Not really useful in the example, but when you get 30+ comments down in a comment thread it significantly simplifies seeing what the comment was replying to.

     

    Currently running all my docker compose containers on my gaming PC. 15 containers in total. Mostly *arr stack, plex, immich, home assistant, actual budget and jellyfin. Running on Mint.

    Want to get these onto a dedicated pc. I have a mini with a I5 10-600, 32GB ram. I've played with it a little with jellyfin, on Debian and don't think I was able to get quick sync enabled with my testing, and one transcode pretty much maxed out the CPU usage. To use this PC, I'd need to buy a 4 bay USB HDD enclosure.

    So, basically I'm just wondering before I spend money and time if the hardware is even capable enough for my usage. 3 concurrent streams is probably the most it'd ever see, ideally with no more than 2 transcodes. Immich, home assistant etc are all pretty new and just in testing for now, but would only have 2 users total. Mostly using Plex, jellyfin is also in testing so it'll be ready if plex enshitifies too much.

     

    I bought a used Forester, from a mechanic shop with a verbal warranty for 2 years. Covers engine and transmission. Transmission has to be replaced, and I'm being told it's not covered.

    He initially thought it was something attached (not sure what) and that leaks weren't covered. But now that he's dropped the transmission, he's saying it's leaking out of I think a crack in the transmission case. And since the internal parts didn't break warranty doesn't apply.

    Am I being fucked over? I don't see how the entire transmission replacement isn't covered under a transmission warranty. USA

     

    Not big into racing games, but FH6 is making me interested. Last racing game I really got into was burnout paradise on the PS3 I think. I don't care about online at all, this would pretty much be solo story play, and exploring Tokyo.

    I just don't know much about forza, the different editions, if I'd like the controls. Is horizon more like burnout or NFS, or more sim racing?

     

    Looking to put gutters here.

    This is how others next door are done, as well as how the ones I'm replacing were done previously. Basically a downspout connected between two gutter's via a hole cut in them.

    Is this actually the correct way to do this, or is there a better way that doesn't seem so janky and leak prone.

     

    First time trying to plant onions. I'm in a long day zone, 8b. Bought 2 packs of seeds from the local home center, walla walla and red Burgundy. Walla seems to be a long day, and at least from my internet search red is short.

    Was planning on doing fall planting and over winter. Question would be if I'm wasting my time on the reds or if a short day onion will bulb in a long day zone if planted in fall?

    I was also planning on doing some spring planting as well, and comparing the 2. I'm guessing walla walla would be ok for that but not red.
