Status always shows as offline when connecting using Tailscale

I normally use the public servers but lately I have been trying to use Tailscale. It works and all is great. However, the status is always showing as offline for the direct connections (TS on the net, or local IP at home). Is there a way to display the actual status?

StandardNotes? What is going on?

Whatever happened with StandardNotes? 2 years on and it is still a separate app with a $90/yr fee to have decent functionality. That is an insane amount of money for a notes app. It is not even integrated into the Protron ecosystem.

Web Player video not supported

At home I use the Stremio app and it works just fine. Today I got to work 2 hours early and there was no one around so I figured I would watch something on my PC at the office. I did not want to install the app, so I figured I would try the web player.

I logged in just fine and it showed me my history, just like at home. I click on a video and in the sources it only lists 3 sources. It does not list torrentioRD or torrentioTB or a couple of the others I have on the app at home.

Under the All section, i scroll to find a 1080 version of the video i want to watch and it then tells me that the video is not supported. I tried a few others and it says the same thing.

So i remote into my home PC and try there using the app (not the web player) and the same stream works at home via the app.

I am on Win11, running FF 152.0.2.

Is this a browser problem or something else?

A couple of questions

I have a couple of questions....

  1. There are a lot of shows that do not have 4k episodes listed. DMM has them, but not DV

  2. There are packs of tv shows, but if I only want a single episode and click on it, it tells me there are none and to get the pack instead.

A couple of questions coming from RD

When I was on RD, every show I clicked on in Stremio, whether I ended up watching or not, showed up on RD. So if I liked the version I was watching, I could go to RD to get the links and download them offline.

With TB, when I watch a show on Stremio, the link does not show up in TB anywhere. For it to show up I have to use something like DMM to search and add to TB and then it will display in TB. Searching DMM does not mean I will find the exact same source that I had been watching in Stremio.

Is there a way when I watch a show on Stremio that the link to the specific stream shows up on TB somewhere?

Also, with RD, if I start to watch a show at night (Stremio), but do not finish, the next morning I simply unpause the video and continue watching. With TB, it continues to play a little bit (whatever was cached) and then auto skips to the next show in the series. I have to remember what time I was at and what episode number and then go back to find it and manually scroll to the time. It does not auto-resume. It seems to think that I finished watching the episode. And it will not show me which source I was originally watching. It only shows me what source if I leave the episode and go back within a short period of time.

Is this normal for TB or is there a setting somewhere that will correct this behavior?

How to setup Stremio to read TB library?

I just joined TB, a refugee from RD, though I am still keeping RD for now. I have it set up and working with Stremio.

My question is, how can I use Stremio to load what I have in TB without looking for the movie/show again and hoping to find the same stream, if i have it already in my TB library? I do not want to have 5 copies of the same movie in my Tb library

Edit:

I know I can do it form TB Dashboard and open link in Stremio. As I have Stremio open 100% of the time and not TD or RD, it would just be easier it I could have Stremio connect to TB to get the link instead of the other way around.

Unable to copy and paste to a Win7 machine

I do not often cut and paste stuff from one computer to another via Rustdesk. Today I wanted to. I have 3 machines at home. Win7, Win10, and Win11. I wanted to copy a file from work to hom. On the later 2 machines it works just fine. Copy from host, paste into Win10 or Win11 and it works. When I try on my Win7 machine, the file copies, and then immediately disappears on the Win7 machine. I thought the drive was full, but the file was only 4.5mb and I had a few gigs free. I tried on a different drive on the same machine, but with the same results.

I ended up copying it to my Win11 machine and then copying it across the network that way.

I checked my AV program, but it did not record anything suspicious.

Any ideas?

Window A/C unit blows breakers when it is super hot and humid out

I have an older LG window a/c unit. 12,000 BTU. Normally it works fine, however if it is too hot and humid outside it blows the breaker. It never used to do this, but it has started to act this way in the last 2-3 years. If it is not super hot out, then the unit works just fine. It is plugged into a seperate circuit. Nothing else in the house is affected when the breaker blows. I do notice that the plug gets scorched marks when this happens. I am not sure if the scorch marks happen all the time, but I have noticed it.

I had an electrician in to check it out and said there are no problems with the wall socket or the power that it is delivering.

I cannot find anyone willing to look at the a/c unit itself. Apparently it is not worth anyones time. I called 3 or 4 places that work on AC units and they will only do the heat pumps (or whatever they are called) or full house units. The unit is also too big and heavy for me to handle on my own, so assuming I find a place to look at it, I need a 2nd person to assisit me in taking it out of the window and carrying it downstairs.

I have a 2nd unit that does the same thing, but different brand. I have a 3rd one, a Danby that I bought 3 years ago to replace a unit that was not producing cold air anymore and that 10,000 BTU unit is working just fine regardless of the outside temp.

Before anyone asks, the filters are cleaned. I even tried it without a filter just for the heck of it.

The only thing I can think to try is if i put an extension cord on my Dany and plug it into the same place as the LG to see the breaker trips. Trying to see if the problem is related to the power or something really wrong with the AC unit.

Anyone have any ideas?

TLDR: LG window unit blows breaker when outside temp is too hot and humid. Not sure what the problem is.

Secret location

"Find where the King finally left the building"

The hint is "The King is question wore a lot of rhinestones, ate a lot of fried peanut butter sandwiches, and almost certainly faked his own death.

To me that is Elvis. The King finally left the building for the last time at Market Square Arena in Indianapolis, Indiana. The building has been removed and replaced with a marker. However, All I get is a faint signal when I zoom in to the location. I get a faint signal from everywhere, from the American Midwest to the East Coast. I am having a hard time pin pointing it.

How to search for stuff in TB

I have been using RD for a while, but been thinking about switching to TB. I am trying to figure out how things work. I am currently on the free tier to scope it out.

In RD, I used Stremio to search and have it tired to Torrentio and Comet etc.

Until I am ready to commit, is there a way to search for stuff and tell if it is cached? I don't want to undo RD in Streamio to set up TB just yet.

Edit:

I got a magnet link and added it,, but apparently it had no seeders and did nothing. I cancelled it and it used one of my 10 free monthly downloads and is now making me wait 23 hours to add another one :/

Update for an app that does not exist on my phone

I just came to do some application updates. And one of them on the list is BAM weather. I did not recognize the icon, nor do I recognize the name. So I did a search on my phone for it and nothing is coming up. Yet the App Store is saying there’s an update. But I can’t find it through Spotlight or anywhere else. And this is not an app that I would normally use. So I’d like to know how the App Store thinks I have an update for it.

Well, I don’t look at the horoscope all that often, it seems like every time I do it’s always the same one.

“If you're looking for a sign, obey only the ones in Comic Sans.”

I thought the purpose of a horoscope was to change every day.

A change has been made recently at work to the firewall that blocks a lot of screen sharing apps. Rustdesk continues to work, however in order to connect I need to select "always connect using relay server." And it works just fine.

The problem is if I add a new computer to rustdesk, it will not save the computer because it cannot make that initial connection. The option to connect via relay only becomes available once the computer is bookmarked. I can then click on the 3 dots and select the relay server option.

I managed to get it going using the discovery tab, but I cannot do that on my phone because the wifi is on a different subnet than the wired network. Is there a way to select use relay server before that initial connection is made?

When I attempt to connect, it eventually times out telling me it cannot reach the rendezvous server. It does not give me any option to attempt again via relay

I am currently using the public servers.
