But techbro 10 years ago was an undercut and a leather jacket. I'm hoping there's a label for this iteration.

Looks like he and Zuck have the same stylist. Anyone know what this look is called, with the oversized tee and chain around his neck?

Medicare doesn't cover long-term care. When the elderly drain their savings on a nursing home that's when Medicaid kicks in.

I know someone who just got hired at an unfinished Meta data center, ostensibly to do some low-level hardware monitoring and maintenance. His boss admitted that he accidentally hired people a couple months too early, so the first couple weeks have consisted of sitting around, eating free food and playing mobile games. Next week they're being flown to an active data center out of state, but they won't have much of their own work to do for another 4-6 weeks.

So these guys are being paid $25/hr, 40hrs a week, with a free lunch, and making no money for the company. I would expect any other company to find this unacceptable, but it's just a drop in the bucket for Meta.

Damn dude, these are legendary "this guy knows his shit" comments.

Most (all?) fees that are a percentage of the total are straight up criminal. Specifically credit card fees and restaurant tips.

23 childcare centers in 8.5 years. A new one every 4-5 months. That's insane.

This is the closest to my philosophy. I keep a few $1 bills in my car and hand them out to anyone who asks. I'm not interested in judging whether they look like they need it, or what I think they'll spend it on. I just want them to know they're not invisible.

He's pleading with people to fund the DNC, when DNC-backed candidates are often the most useless losers on the ticket.

Jesus, you're committed! Thanks for the tips.

What's your language-learning method?

To your first point, there was a story about the alarming number of searches for "did Biden drop out" but it didn't mention that this would have included searches like "when did Biden drop out" and "why did Biden drop out." So it was a half true and half clickbait.

 

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.

 

There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant.

When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it's safe to seal over again?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.
