I’m starting in on sketches of what I want my mask to look like when finished.

Late, but present. I will be making… A Halloween costume. It will be a wearable mask that covers my head and leaves my hands free. It will be open except on the front. I have no idea how I will do it yet, bit plenty of time to figure it out…

My main question is: what automates pushing new content to my Plex libraries and kicking off a library scan?

Seems like there are lots of apps that do similar things (monitor trackers for example). I just need one that moves content from \Data\Torrents\ to Plex:\movies and tickles it enough to trigger a scan.

Does Overseerr do this?

So, so good.

Interesting. Ombi means I don’t have to run docker. How do you like it?

This is the way.

I just saw mangosteen in Chinatown Manhattan… First time seeing them in the us!!

Good questions. I own priorities, my team owns operation. Fixing this is on our list of priorities, not high enough to get the amount of attention needed to really fix it.

We have 3 (three. Three!!) redundant monitoring and alerting systems and have yet to detect the issues routinely found by our customers. Its not because we didn’t detect them, it’s because we have so many false positives we stopped looking (but still run the monitors).

Uuuuuugffhhhhhj

Park tool has good, informative videos: park tool

Saint Sheldon Brown is one of the best, original sources for internet cycling knowledge.

Getting doored while out riding, then falling into the road and getting run over by a garbage truck.

I ride my bike a lot. Somebody getting out of the back seat of a 4 door with out looking is a huge danger.

Tentatively raises hand…

Yes, several times. Surprisingly: my shortest surgery (10 min to remove a device) resulted in about 10 days of serious depression. A shrink says this happens about 10 percent of the time. I wish I’d known this in advance, I’d have opted out. I will be more cautious in the future.

Well now I feel like an ass - this is what I’d tell my parents.

And yeah, that fixed it. I’m tempted to delete this whole embarrassing post, but I will leave it for the edification of others and to memorialize my shame.

I met Danny at my local coffee shop. I am a total ass and said “Abed?”. He said " Danny. " and shook my hand. Thus confirming my status as Total Ass, and his as a mensch.

The training program was 2x per week. For resistance training, they ran a set of machine based training, increasing resistance over time.

“3 sets of 10 repetitions as the main RT program on the following 6 weight-stack machines: leg curl, leg extension, arm curl, rowing, shoulder press, and chest press.”

As an old dude, over been wondering what I can do to made my skin tougher.

Cold fusion.

I just finished ‘Player of Games’ - Ian M. Banks. I liked it, it felt immersive.

Just started The Passenger by the late great Cormac McCarthy. I’m about a 3rd through, listening on audio book via Libby (read at 85% speed). It’s a little hard not to put it in the context of No Country and the border trilogy - Mr. M does seem to have a type. I’m pleased that many of McCarthy’s liberties with words seem to come through on audio, but I imagine I’m missing a lot. All in all I’m enjoying it. Next up my book club is reading All The Pretty Horses, so I’m in for the ride as it were. (Weirdly, there was a longer wait for his other work than The Passenger. I guess people are in the wait and see mode).

A friend recommended Midlife by Kieran Setiya. I have to say - it’s quite dense, and I feel like I’m not doing it justice. I’ll definitely keep going.

That seemed plausible to me. But if so they’ve scrubbed it pretty well from the internet.
