Login to your credit card portal and check if they have it. I noticed mine has it as a free service now.

Edit: free service with my my cc account not straight up free to everyone with no cc.

If your in the US you can tell them you'll report them to the FTC and fcc as unsolicited spam text messages that have no means to opt out. They must provide a means to stop receiving text messages per can spam act. If they refuse you report them and then they face 50k in fines per message. You also get to have federal record at least that you didn't want the text messages. You could also file a police report. The cops may roll their eyes, but just tell them you just want something on record that the former number owner waa a shady character and want to avoid any potential legal issues in the future for having their number and getting weird calls or texts.

If only I could forget all the dumb shit I do or say...

Yeah same experience for me. I assumed it was an issue with the routing table, but manually updating it didn't seem to help. I assumed I was just not good enough at networking on android. I'd believe google would try to crap on that too though.

Is that android auto or wireless android auto?

Neither do Samsung, the jellyfin app works great on Samsung after the annoying process of installing it, but can't put a VPN on it that I'm aware of.

I know this is necroing, but i've had one of "the perfect water" systems going on 2 years. The under the sink system can have UV light to reduce potential bacteria. Its reverse osmosis and multi stage, with a mineral stage. It has a staging tank thats pressurized so you get decent flow for like 3 gallons of water or something like that. It can have an attachment to go to your fridge even.

Literally the best water I've ever had, I'd never go back.

Changing filters is a little annoying, but you do it once a year and it took me all of 10 minutes. The reverse osmosis filter is every 2 years. You only ever put bleach on the tanks nipple like once a year and less than a spoon full. The longest part was draining and refilling the tank like 3 times to get the filters and tank primed after filter change.

They do whole house filters too.

I prefer distros if available, but in some cases the version in the distros can suck. A solid example, and this could 100% be user error, but I used aur to get Picard on my tablet, but there was no app menu bar. Like at all, no window settings in the world made a difference, and the global menu didn't show anything either. So I couldn't change settings at all. I removed the aur package and installed the flatpak, everything worked no problem.

Flatpaks are okay, but due to laziness, I'm not proficient with making them interact well with each other.

App images can be great, but also annoying depending on how your system handles them. On a Debian based machine it would "install" the app image as if it were a normal app, and in some cases even check for updates. In garuda I have to manually go to the file and execute it each time. I'm no Linux master, so I could probably do something in garuda to make it work similar to Debian, but I only have one app there that I care about and I'm lazy...

I don't like snaps, they seem finicky to me.

If the Dev has their own recommended source, package, or whatever I try to stick to that. I.e. if they say their focus is on an app image, but aur has it, and there's a flatpak, and x y z options, I'll try the app image, and if that does what I need it to, I stick with it. If they recommend snap I try to find another app or another option to install.

Yup this is the shittiest episode of lost yet.

I want a filament dryer, but I'm too cheap, and don't use my printer enough. :(

I want to start using it again, but I've been struggling to get the motivation to recalibrate and figure out all the optimal settings again.

Or just toss it in the oven at a low temp for an hour or so. I've also turn my bed temp up high and put a spool on it with a box over it. Just cut some small holes in the too to allow humid air to come out. After an hour or so should be good to go. Assuming the issue is moist filament.

Apparently proton pass has a custom domain function I was unaware of until now. Looks like you have to go into settings > aliases. There is an 'add custom domain' button, assuming you need the domain added to your proton account with a catchall address maybe?

 

So I'm on plex scanning my library to get new videos added and they show up briefly then quickly disappear. So I looked into logs and plex is spitting out a boat load of permission denied logs.

Background: my plex is a vm in proxmox with its data in a cifs share stored on my truenas scale box. This has been working great for years.

I go take a look on my truenas scale dataset and sure enough, the acl is wonky.

I used to have plex as owner and group as well as permissions for several other users. Now the owner is polkitd which seems to be a service used in Linux for policy auth and permissions. Obviously I'm no Linux master, but i can fiddle.

Anyway the user I use to mount the share is no longer in the acl. Somehow it can still mount the share though?

So question, who the f is this polkitd, and who the hell do they think they are messing with my plex time?

More seriously, is there a reason polkitd would take ownership or modify an acl like this? Where would I look in logs for this?
