My wife was given 3-4 years to live

Last year my wife battled breast cancer. She did chemo, dealt with infections, double mastectomy, radiation and is now on her last few rounds of hormone therapy. Her pathology after the surgery was great - no detectable signs of cancer.

She's been having headaches in the same spot for a few weeks and told her doctor. They sent her to get a CAT scan (she has an expander in each breast, which has magnets, so she couldn't do an MRI). The scan found 4 tumors.

We saw her oncologist on Friday and said that we still must do testing before a treatment plan can be made, but his best guess right now is 3-4 years. It can never be cured, just managed.

Obviously, she is devastated. We have three kids. The youngest is 3. We should be planning her birthday party or getting everything ready for our vacation in the summer. Instead she is scheduling scans and surgeries and asking me how I am going to survive on one salary and making me promise to not move them away.

I'm in a fog. It doesn't feel real. I guess I've been ready for news like this since last year so it's not that much of a shock, but I don't know what I'm going to do. I know I should be preparing for every outcome, but I don't even know where to start. It just can't be real. I don't even know what to do next.

Horrible Lag Since Update

Plex updated on my Firestick and the performance has not been very good. There is lag all over the place. Media takes a while to start, it randomly buffers and if I need to rewind or fast forward it takes a while for the file to resume playing.

Is there anyway to side load the old version? Or a third party Plex app that works well?

The "Recently Added" on my home screen is just a mess

I've been having some issues with my "recently added" lists on my home screen. I added some movies but they weren't showing up on the recently added list, there were four movies that have been showing added "a few seconds ago" for a few days. I fixed that by removing them and re-adding them via Radarr.

I'm having a similar issue in TV Shows. I added two TV Shows today and when I view via the library and sort by date added, those shows are right at the top. But they aren't even showing up on the recently added home screen list.

I've tried restarting the server, turning the recommendations off and back on, no files appear to be recently modified. I'm kind of at lost as what to check next. Has anyone else had this issue?

Have Piko Twitter open Twitter links?

I have the patched app installed. But whenever I click on a Twitter link it opens to Twitter in my browser.

Is there anyway to have Twitter links open on my app? As the default option?

Dishwasher having trouble draining and extending wash times

I started the dishwasher yesterday and this morning when I opened it, everything was wet. No pool of water in the bottom of the dishwasher, but it looks like the plates never dried.

i wanted to run it again but it had trouble starting. Normally I hear the drain empty into the disposal before it starts but it wasn't doing that. It would try to start the wash cycle but it just wouldn't start. I got one Failure To Drain error, but eventually it did drain through the disposal and start. While trying to get it to start I cleaned the filter, checked the hose and the drain and didn't see any clogs.

Now it's running, had less than an hour left on the wash/dry cycle but it just reset to an hour and 30 minutes. I also haven't heard it drain into the disposal during this cycle. Any guesses on what could be going wrong or what I should check next?

EDIT - GE wash, model number GDF550PSR7SS

I was able to run a complete cycle.

Shows failing with 'TVDb ID not mapped' error

I'm running a setup where scrape-mediux scrapes artwork from MediUX, generates YAML files with all the poster and background URLs, then Kometa reads those YAML files and applies everything to Plex. It's working great for about 500 TV shows and 1700 movies.

But 3 TV shows keep throwing errors (and there are probably movies throwing errors, I just haven't checked)

Metadata File Error: TVDb ID not mapped

The problem shows are Widow's Bay, Big Mistakes, and one more I haven't identified yet.

I think is happening scrape-mediux pulls everything from MediUX using TVDb IDs, so the generated YAML has TVDb IDs as the keys. Kometa then tries to match those TVDb IDs to shows in Plex. But these 3 shows are apparently matched in Plex to TMDb instead of TVDb. So Kometa can't find the TVDb ID and errors out.

I tried re-matching them in Plex but nothing changed.

Questions:

Is there a way to force Plex to use TVDb instead of TMDb for these shows?

Does Kometa have a fallback setting so if it doesn't find the TVDb ID it tries TMDb?

If neither of those work, what's the next best option?

Everything else works perfect so I'm not trying to rebuild the whole thing. Just need to handle these 3 problem shows and know how to handle future issues.

Who are the best MediUX set creators for consistent title cards and posters?

I've got a script that scans my Plex library, searches MediUX for matching artwork sets, and builds the YAML for Kometa automatically.

The issue I'm running into is that it only pulls the first set it finds for each title, and sometimes that set doesn't include episode title cards. I know I can set a preferred_users list so the scraper prioritizes specific creators, but I'd need to know who to target.

Does anyone have recommendations for creators who consistently make high quality posters and episode title cards? Would love to build a solid preferred_users list rather than going through my whole library show by show. Thanks!

"Continue watching" is lost?

I had to totally uninstall Plex and do a fresh install. I've updated all my libraries and Plex is up and running again, but I've lost everything in my continue watching.

It looks as if Plex has saved my watch history, because it shows episodes and movies I have watched as watched, but there's no next episodes coming up in my On Deck or Continue Watching.

Is there any way to bring this back or do I just need to start watching the next episodes to put it back into continue watching?

Fenway Tour during batting practice

My wife and I are heading to Boston at the end of the month and wanted to do the Fenway tour (I've already done one, she hasn't). I've read about a tour that will take you on the field during batting practice - is there a specific tour I need to purchase for this? Or is it just a timing thing?

AEW has made me love wrestling again

When I was younger, I LOVED wrestling. My sister and I would beg our parents to order every PPV, my cousin and I had tag team matches with our stuffed Hulk Hogans. My high school buddy and I watched every WWE show we could. Somehow we even got my dad to take us to a CZW show at the original ECW arena.

As I got older, like high school graduation age, I stopped watching. This was around 2005, when Cena and Batista were champs. It just wasn't holding my interest.

Fast forward to WrestleMania 40. Mania was in Philly, close to me, so I started watching. The Cody vs. Reigns story sucked me in and watching Mania that year made me feel like a kid again.

I watched every show after Mania, but it started to lose my interest again. Too many ads, too much of the same stuff every week. A friend told me to watch AEW. I had heard of them but never watched. I was always a WWE guy. But I decided to give All In a shot and fell in love all over again. I haven't missed a show since.

What I've loved the most about AEW is how obviously TK loves other promotions. I had no idea who Kenny Omega was when I turned on All In a year ago so I looked him up. It took me down the rabbit hole of NJPW and Bullet Club. Then CMLL. Why was I not watching TNA??? I missed all of AJ Styles prime years. What the fuck is ROH?????

If I had a time machine I would go back and watch all of this for the first time. AEW has brought back that love of wrestling I had when I was a kid. This year has not been the easiest for me or my family, so having this as an escape for a few hours a week has been so huge for me.

Tonight, I'm going to my first AEW show. I couldn't sleep because I was so excited. I can't wait.

Looking for a Spotify downloader

I'm finally ditching Spotify for the Morphe YT Music app and Plexamp. I've been trying to use https://spotidownloader.com to download my Spotify playlists so I can save them to my hard drives, but the website stops downloading at 59 songs - the playlist I'm trying to download has 1,000.

Are there any other good Spotify downloaders out there? I saw some posts about a telegram bot but it looks like it's no longer in service.

Is it possible to still use Infinity for Reddit?

I had to wipe my phone back to factory results and I lost infinity. I had been using it with my own API.

I tried to reinstall it and had some trouble and I need to start all the way over. Is there an updated guide for how to do this? Or a better app to use for Reddit?
