Imagine that, your previous images were pulled from an article claiming these are being sold in Thailand by Chinese companies just like I thought, so your argument is that vapes should be banned in the US because of what may or may not be happening in Thailand?

or the illusion that your country is the only one in the world.

How convenient for you and your argument since that means you only need to find one example of a bad thing happening in the world and can then apply that bad example to millions of other unrelated products sold elsewhere in the world. What happened to your argument claiming that these were being stopped by US Customs? That so quickly morphed into “it doesn’t matter if these products were actually shipped and sold here because Thailand!”

Your other article, from the rag that is the Daily Mail, claims that Squid Games is a children’s TV show, and only lists one western company receiving a notice (which they incorrectly called a “Canadian” company rather than a California based company in true Daily Mail fashion) for having a vape that resembles a banana. How convincing since we all know how crazy and insaitiable children get when they see something that slightly resembles a banana. They gotta have it!

I’m not going to discuss …

Didn’t you already say that when you claimed you “didn’t get those images from a quick Google search” and “wouldn’t bother to verify the legitimacy of these products” even though you just now claimed to do a quick Google search to find the very articles that your images came from? Why such inconsistencies?

You aren’t going to look for them because you just grabbed whatever image you found from a Google search and have no clue what you’re even talking about.

If these even exist, the only reason why a black market would exist for vapes is because of the idiotic bans that created it by killing the legitimate market further proving my point. Furthermore your argument that they’re “stopped at customs” contradicts your previous argument that they’re being marketed and sold to kids since they aren’t being sold at all.

How convenient that none of the manufacturer or product names are listed for any of these devices except the “Moti Pop” which appears to be a black market disposable from China. It’s almost as if someone just fabricated a bunch of items or cherry picked a bunch of already illegal devices in order to push the FUD angle. Can you provide any listings or images showing that any of these were ever sold in a vape shop anywhere in the western world because I’ve been vaping for 13 years now and have never once seen anything even remotely resembling anything like these sold in any store. It’s just more bullshit propaganda.

This is literally the argument they used and it’s complete bullshit propaganda. Can you elaborate in detail on what makes it “toy shaped?” Do you consume fruit and or fruit-flavored things as an adult? I’m surprised you didn’t also mention “bright colors” as another draw being so appealing to children as well. I guess I never got the memo as an adult that I should only be consuming and enjoying drab colored, unflavored oatmeal for all my meals as color and flavor are no longer appealing to me.

I suppose I should be forced to smoke cancer-causing cigarettes produced by big tobacco for my crime of enjoying nicotine and flavors as an adult all so some shitty parents can be absolved of their duty as parents. While we’re at it let’s also ban things like D&D and rock music because those lure children into worshipping the devil which leads to things like talking back and human sacrifice.

Maybe after we ban everything dangerous, we can take our children to McDonalds to buy them an artery clogging cheeseburger happy meal and a large coke to celebrate before dropping them back off in front of the TV, so they can watch their commercials interfaced with the occasional colorful cartoon while they play with their happy meal toy and we go back to not giving a shit about them.

I’ve been vaping since around 2012 and ran through a ton of disappointing eGo clones and mods and got a GeekVape Zeus about a year or two ago and it’s been rock solid. It is a dual battery but that just means it lasts a day or more depending on how often you’re using it.

They literally only exist because of all the government regulations that decimated the industry “because of the children.”

If you’re trying to watch 4k content in a browser, AFAIK, Edge is the only one capable.

I know it’s “cheap insurance,” and I’ll never convince you otherwise (nor do I intend to – you do you), but it’s really just a waste of money/oil with modern synthetics. Even if you stretched it out to just 5k you’d be saving almost half as much oil/money while maintaining the same protection. Using a quality filter (factory OEM, Wix) is important too.

I’ve put around 180k miles on my Toyota in the last 9 years with 9k-10k intervals and it runs great as well with a sparkling interior under the valve cover.

I believe 19k on modern engines with modern oil but have a hard time believing they recommended the same on many vehicles pre ~2000 when engines and oil were much less robust than they are now.

I also run around 10k miles between changes, but newer engines (2013 Camry) are much easier on the oil than a straight-six from 1992 so I’d be hesitant to push it quite as far without doing an oil analysis. You could also just change the filter and keep the same oil at 5k then change both at 10k (again depending on how dirty the engine makes it).

Why’s this guy doing oil changes every 3k miles on his Jeep? Just spend the extra $5 for synthetic and push it out to 5k+ miles.

Edit: this does seem interesting but I think it would work better as a smartphone app that syncs with your home server. I drive a lot for work and it would be a huge pain in the ass to continually track mileage and whatnot on my desktop (or presumably from a webui on my phone but only in range of my wifi).

What displays when you run “id” as your user? You’ll want it to match what your inputting in the docker compose. I may have missed it but I didn’t see you identify what your personal UID and GID are in the Google doc.

As a janky fallback, what if you just added a new smb user and password and see if that one connects: sudo smbpasswd -a <username>

Try the users suggestion from the other post and run “ls -an” to see the numeric user IDs rather than the names you’re assigning. I’ve recently been building a new server with proxmox and learned this same lesson already as user “1000” gets assigned as user “100000” inside containers there to prevent it from having host permissions automatically from my understanding.

You can set individual seed time/ratios in the indexer settings for each tracker in sonarr and radarr.

I agree to just fill up the HDD with media and bring that to play with VLC. Setting up the *arrs and usenet seems like a lot.

Like someone else suggested, maybe just bring a laptop and then you can manually torrent the few new episodes of whatever show you’re currently watching rather than dealing with the automation aspect.

I had not seen that about the Plex Pass doubling.

Yep the most recent delta shows the price of the Seagate drive increasing over what it was in early 2024 and 2023. I can attest to this personally as I’ve been buying at least one 8-14TB drive each year since 2018 and back then I could get new 8TB drives at $105 but now WD wants $176 for the same 8TB Easystore. Your link shows multiple different options each quarter which is an apples to oranges comparison.

You sound like a boomer talking about the house they bought decades ago for $75,000.

Oh really when the license is still the same exact $120 price a decade later? Have you ever heard of inflation? Apparently not as you talk about how things used to be cheaper while not even realizing that this $120 license should cost $162 if they had kept up with inflation, but please keep telling us about how you used to wear an onion on your belt back when prices were cheaper as you call others “boomers.”

How have they doubled their prices? The monthly fee and lifetime license are still the same price and they’ve always charged for Android and iOS playback if you didn’t have the Plex Pass. I won’t argue that this change is a good thing but I don’t think it’s anywhere near as big of a deal as people are making it out to be. They aren’t changing anyone now who streams from a server that has the Plex Pass so now my users can watch on their mobile devices for free using a license I paid for once close to a decade ago.

HDD manufacturers have been increasing their prices as of late for the same products that were previously cheaper, and Mullvad is still charging you the same monthly fee even though they’ve removed important features like port forwarding, so what’s the difference? Hosting a server has costs associated with it and this is another one of those costs if you want to use their completely optional solution to use and share your library.

It doesn’t do anything more for you than to stream your own media

Sure it does, which is why we’re not all using VLC to stream our media.

Furthermore, they do provide a simple way to share our media with friends and family via their authentication servers along with their relay servers if direct access to your server goes down for whatever reason which have associated costs. I have a lot of my own gripes about Plex, but this particular change is probably at the bottom of the list, and I think acting like this software has zero value is disparaging not only Plex but Jellyfin and the army of volunteers over there working hard to make their product better for you and everyone else at no cost. You’re essentially saying all their work is worthless since their product accomplishes all the same things as Plex.

This is like complaining that you have to spend money on HDDs or a VPN.

Now people expect to pay once and get upgrades forever.

Because they’re called “lifetime passes” voluntarily offered by the company. It seems weird to act like people are being entitled about this or that their $75-$120 one-time payment is meaningless compared to someone who’s only paid $5 or worse using it for free.
