Came here to say this. If you do a 360, you turned around twice.
I have a Soda Stream and use powders. The trick is to turn your powder into a “syrup” first.
Mix your powder with 1-2 oz of water, stir it well (I use a hand held milk frother), and then put that into your bubbly water.
Maybe it’s just important to stay generally social with folks of all types, as perspectives and conversations keep us young? Is that a good maxim?
I think you hit the nail on the head.
Where you live is one thing, but how you face the world is another. As we age, it seems that we have increased challenges in the areas you note.
Trust becomes harder. Acknowledging our own faults and cognitive degradations becomes harder. Making decisions becomes harder. And desire to remain autonomous becomes stronger. Those things don’t jive too well.
One more thing to add: maintain a community of similarly-aged peers. Otherwise, one might feel like they are on an island.
This is based on my experience caring for an elderly family member.
They might miss out on the convenience of AirPlay, though. AFAIK you cant do DLNA streaming to the Apple TV.
AirPlay really bridges the gaps for me, wrt having any app available on my tv at any time.
Combined with steam connect, it’s a decent multi use box with solid, non-intrusive updates. Just wish the garden wasn’t so unnecessarily walled.
I’ve just started a Zulip POC and it’s been decent so far. Definitely resembles Discord.
‘Well done or none’ is the general rule.

But FWIW, I did spring for the nice paint spray machine. The quality of the job for the size of the job was worth it on that.
Mobile is great for consuming. It’s not as great for creating.
More consuming and less creating sounds like a good way to slow progress.
The obvious next leap is full-on Idiocracy.
Maybe my stainless is just seasoned well.. no significant taste changes to me whether I load up anything from an Americano to instant decaf.
The vibe is nicer from ceramic, though. Especially if it’s the old, diner style ceramic. I’m a bit of a sentimentalist, I guess.
Nah, it’s actually pretty dope. Scrub daddy, scrub mommy, and the scrub wand — I’m all in, baby.
Legit, the scrub daddy franchise is a lesson in great “KISS” product design.
What was it that clicked?
Gah, I miss those days. I had a personal video on YouTube from the early days. Something or another flagged it — probably the audio I used for the cheap “credits” I put in — and the video went away.
More recently, grandmas birthday video. It got taken down a year later, likely because I had short, edited clips of Peanuts included. 🙄
Oh, and you mean Justin.tv.
It’s fast food. Not wait-for-surge-pricing-to-come-down food.
Same reason a remote control is handy for a TV — convenience.
Motion or presence sensing. Timers. Virtual buttons. Physical buttons in places I wouldn’t normally have them. Garage door opening automagically when I pull in the driveway with a specific vehicle. Etc.
Plus I get to check in on my kitty from far away.
OP — Plex is a step easier, as Plex brokers the connection. No reverse proxy. The same plus in this case can also be seen as a minus.
I’m still on the Plex bus, and it’s good for me and friends. Jellyfin will get there one day, but right now it’s just not quite feature complete enough for my use cases.
This echo chamber gets LOUD, too!
When I read this, I feel like I’m reading my grandfather’s email forwards from the early 00’s.
Well, yeah, I did say everything ;-)
Missing Memmy
Just popped in to say that I miss Memmy. I switch between Voyager and Thunder these days.
They are ok.
Yet I’m still back here, on this community, telling y’all my opinion on it.
Plex TV Episode Shuffle Experience
Either I’m nuts (possible) or Plex’s shuffle functionality does a poor job randomizing from the set. What’s your take?
I’ve been trying to figure out if it is just my perception or potential bias since our memories are fallible and whatnot.
It seems like TV show > Shuffle and Playlist (containing all episodes) > Shuffle yield different favored episodes (so maybe a different shuffle algo). And then when I play in episodic order, I recognize episodes that seemingly haven’t played in a while.
I suppose I could pull play counts off my server, but that’s no fun! Sooooo, is it just me?

New to Unraid, Solving Disabled Disk Issues
I’m new to the Unraid scene, after putting off doing something other than Windows-based serving and sharing for about.. oh, about 14 years. By “new to the scene”, I mean: “Trial expires in 28 days 22 hours 6 minutes” :-)
Anywho, I ran into an issue with a disabled drive. The solution was to rebuild it. I solved it thanks to a post by u/Medical_Shame4079, on Reddit.
That made me think about the whole “losing stuff on Reddit” maybe problem of the future. While this post isn’t much, maybe it will be helpful to someone else, sometime else.
The issue? A drive ha a status of disabled, and it has a message of “device is disabled contents emulated unraid.”
The fix: > Stop the array, unassign the disk, start the array in maintenance mode, stop it again, reassign the drive to the same slot. The idea is to start the array temporarily with the drive “missing” so it changes from “disabled” to “emulated” status, then to stop it and “replace” the drive to get it back to “active” status.
Looking forward to more time with Unraid. It’s been easy to pick up so far.
Did you hear about the two antennas that got married?
The wedding was ok, but the reception was great!!
