Idk man, i only just heard about this from this article, but just reading through the article I can't imagine anyone I would consider normal drowning, beating to death, then tying the dead puppy to the back of a motorcycle and dragging it through the wilderness. The article says alcohol was involved so I'd put my money on this guy being a violent piece of shit to begin with

    I hate it when the term chivalry gets thrown out, cause to some people it's just like holding open doors and pulling out their chair, but after a while I realized that when the last person I dated used the word chivalry, what she meant was that she wanted me to bend over backwards to meet her desires before she had to be bothered by communicating them with me, which she never bothered to do.

    As a guy who has been in this position (like I almost made a post that would've rhymed with this one a couple months back) I feel like the issue is endemic to the dating apps as a whole. All of these apps, no matter how they try to present themselves, are a numbers game. They only really work well if you're talking to a bunch of people.

    In my experience this encourages people to take a "low stakes and ready to bail" kind of approach to dating where people will break off a budding relationship before it gets too serious for any perceived shortcoming from the other person. Which inevitably leads to them back to the app and starts the cycle over again.

    It's incredibly frustrating and exhausting. I'm sorry that it didn't work out how you hoped. As someone who also has a busy schedule it can be really depressing to have someone you were interested in and trying to work with to date just fizzle away on you. Here's hoping you have better luck in the future!

    The Way a business sees it, someone with a masters has a lower possible 'minimum pay' because of the masters so they will often times not hire someone with a masters because they are "overqualified" and the company doesn't want to pay that position that much

    In my personal opinion, hawking is for things leaving your mouth like loogies, while horking is for things going in, like food.

    Example sentence: I'll be right there let me just hork down this sandwich real quick

    Or

    They're horking down lunch cause they're in a hurry

    Awesome! That was going to be the next thing I looked up was how to do the snap list. It shouldn't be impacting my libation as that is running in a docker instance managed by portainer. Though now that I think back I had initially installed libation using snap, but couldn't get it to work, so perhaps I have both instances running and am trying to use the snap one on accident when I need to be opening the docker instance.

    I don't know for certain that these unexpected devices in my disk manager are causing the issue, but I noticed them at the same time as the issue with libation being unable to access the directory it normally uses and so I may be conflating 2 unrelated issues

    Okay, I have used snap to install things before but it never generated these faux disks that I can't seem to delete. Would you guess that it is a temporary issue and a restart should resolve? (haven't restarted yet because I have been using the audiobookshelf and plex and haven't scheduled a maintenance window yet)

    Hey all, recently I was doing some work on the machine where I host my plex and audiobookshelf servers and I noticed that there were 3 new devices listed in the disk manager.

    All 3 of the new devices have a description along the lines of "78MB Loop Device" and lists a backing file at location /var/lib/snapd/snaps/snapd_22291.snap (not exactly but they're all similar to this). They show as unmounted and I'm not really sure what this is.

    Additionally when I try to use libation to pull my latest audible books down it says it can't read my local file location folder.

    I recently saw the post about the plex vulnerability (which is part of why i was doing work on it, to make sure that my auto update was working) when I noticed this and it got me worried.

    Are these new devices that showed up indicative that a malicious user has accessed my system through the internet and has setup a crypto miner to run in the background on my server or is it more likely that a disk is failing and this is the first sign?

    Also before anyone feels the need to say it, I know that plex is not ideal and jellyfin is better, but I have remote users that I cannot talk through troubleshooting to get jellyfin when I can tell them to just install plex on their end.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated

     

    Hey all, I'm relatively new to the selfhosting game the most I've done to date is own and maintain a plex server for the last few years, but that mainly handles all of the networking for me so I'd say it doesn't really count.

    Recently, due in part to the ongoing controversy with audibles royalty and streaming model I've decided to try my hand at setting up an Audiobookshelf server of my own. For reference I'm running on a machine with Ubuntu 20.04. Ive managed to get Audiobookshelf and nginx running through docker and accessible via the localhost:port, but now I feel like I'm missing some key understandings.

    I assume I need to have a domain name through a DNS service like cloudflare in order to make use of it, but I'm not sure what to do after that and the documentation that I have read doesn't outright answer my questions.

    Once I have my DNS setup, how do I associate it with my server or point it through the nginx reverse proxy?

    I know I'll have to setup a .conf file for nginx at some point and I found the example .conf in the audiobookshelf documentation, but I just feel like I'm missing the step between getting a domain name and establishing the reverse proxy.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
