captsneeze,

Thank you for providing a starting point! Jumping into a long-running show can be daunting. I’m going to check this one out.

captsneeze,

Bingo. Why did I begin to stink when I hit puberty even though I showered twice daily and lived in a temperate climate? This person makes it sound like no one would stink if they simply never start using deodorant, when the reality is that people start using deodorant because they realize that they stink without it. For centuries, people around the world have used perfumes to cover their BO before (and after) deodorant became available. Why would they need this if they simply don’t use deodorant?

I also know a woman who swears that you never actually need to wash your hair. Your head will stop producing as much oil and you’ll naturally have beautiful hair. She is a lovely, smart, confident, and attractive woman, but her hair is greasy and stringy AF.

captsneeze,

These aren’t necessarily my favorite quotes, but they are the two I find myself referencing almost daily in my work life.

“We never seem to have the time to do it right, yet we always seem to find the time to do it twice.”

“You can save hours of planning with weeks of work.”

captsneeze,

Sure. It depends on the work. I only reference the quote when it is applicable.

captsneeze,

I like it! I’m only a hobbyist programmer, but I’m 100% guilty of this.

captsneeze,

I was lucky to see her before she was St. Vincent, when she was going by just her name, Annie Clark. She was playing a show outside of Boston with a friend’s band. I’m not to proud to admit, in my very ignorant and problematic youth, when I saw her get on the tiny stage I was certain I’d be rolling my eyes at another Lisa Loeb / Jewel singer songwriter type thing. Then she completely melted my face off with the most interesting guitar work and captivating songs I had seen at that club. I learned a lesson that day (in the best possible way) about being a stupid young boy.

I’ll make this more extreme as a means of illustrating the point everyone else seems to be trying to get across…

Russia is a nation full of parents who love their children, artists and musicians creating interesting and new art, and rebels developing creative and novel approaches for resisting their fascist government. But, when people say that “Russia sucks”, those aren’t the reasons.

captsneeze,

Searching within a community is the #1 feature I’ve been waiting on! Very glad to see it here.

captsneeze,

Guys… you’re all breaking the first two rules of Usenet…

captsneeze,

Don’t talk about Usenet.

and…

Don’t — talk — about — Usenet!

captsneeze,

I’m just some idiot on the internet who doesn’t know what I’m talking about, but…

Is it possible this isn’t a mistake? If you’re going to try to win a trial through corruption and wrongdoings, it seems easier to illicitly win over (and have it stay quiet) one person than half of a jury, no?

captsneeze,

I’m honestly not sure. Does a jury vote need to be unanimous for a guilty verdict?

captsneeze,

I’m curious, for what reason would one need/want to do this?

captsneeze,

This is the answer I would go with. I’ve used this utility for many many years, and for dozens of different needs. It’s a great Swiss-army-knife for renaming needs.

Can I override Sonarr season numbers

I’m trying to finish grabbing a show, but Sonarr says the final season is #3, while the rest of the internet (i.e. torrent sites) says that season is #5. It looks like the first 2 seasons were split up into 1/2 seasons when originally shown. So while Sonarr is looking for Season 3, it’s finding the first half of what it...

captsneeze,

When looking at the series page, if you expand the seasons down to list the contained episodes, are all of the episodes there (even if not in the “correct” season)? Or are several seasons worth of episodes just not listed at all? Which show?

captsneeze,

As of Aug 26, 2023, Windows command prompt absolutely does not recognize “ls” as a command.

Powershell is a different story.

Source: I type “ls” 40 times a day into a command prompt on my up-to-date win10 PC at work.

captsneeze,

That is a fair statement, but also a different topic.

I am thankful to live in an age with WSL.

captsneeze, (edited )

That is interesting. I just remoted into 5 different machines at the office and none of them worked with ‘ls’. If you enter ‘ls /?’, does it give you a synopsis and argument list?

captsneeze,

It’s my own fault, and the result of 30+ years of muscle memory building up. Plus, while I agree cmd isn’t nearly as powerful as powershell or wsl can be, when I’m in Windows it’s still the fastest way for me to do 90% of the simple things I need to do. I have a long history with it, and a thorough understanding of it, so I don’t really need to think for most of the things I’m doing there.

If I need to script something, or do anything that seems like it would be annoying to do in CMD, I hop into WSL pretty quickly and get to work with bash or python. The problem I have now is that I’ve developed a little muscle memory there as well… hence my issue with entering ‘ls’ everywhere.

captsneeze,

Thanks for letting us know!

captsneeze,

Exactly. Layer 8 problem.

captsneeze,

You’ll sometimes hear IT people use “Layer 8 problem” which is a reference to the OSI networking model. The model has 7 layers. It starts at layer-1, the physical layer (the literal wires that the signals flow through), and ends with layer-7, the application later (things like http, ftp, etc.).

“Layer-8” isn’t technically part of the OSI model, but unofficially it refers to the human layer, or the user. When IT people are troubleshooting an issue, trying to identify where in the model the issue is happening, “layer-8” is a tongue-in-cheek way of saying “there isn’t an actual problem… the person is the problem”.

Another good one is the “ID10T” error (read as “I-D-ten-T”), which looks a lot like “IDIOT” when written down. It means the same thing.

captsneeze,

Anyone know a Lemmy equivalent of r/woosh?

captsneeze,

God damn. Hoisted by my own petard!

captsneeze,

I don’t mind. I’m locked into this one because it functions well, handling all of the idiosyncrasies that can be involved in tennis scoring (3 vs 5 game sets, tie breaks, etc.).

It started as “I could use this for table tennis scoring at our cabin, it can’t be the at hard…” (we use tennis scoring instead of ping pong scoring because we’re all tennis players), but now I just feel like it’s a challenge I want to figure out.

captsneeze,

Thanks! I had already worked out the first bit and the last bit, but I hadn’t thought to look at that middle part. I appreciate your time and insight.

captsneeze,

I’ve been using the beta version for a couple of weeks and it’s pretty solid. There are some features I miss from Apollo when I was on Reddit, but I’m hopeful they are coming.
