Windows Client - Plex stays in full screen after media ends

Is there an easy way to get out of full screen mode when this happens? I have to restart the show or movie then exit full screen mode then exit the movie.

Upgrade or restart your 1xx series FortiSwitches to avoid the NTPd high CPU 250 day uptime bug (Resolved in 7.6.7)

Guess what we did "almost" 250 days ago? Upgraded and restarted our FortiSwitches.

Guess what ruined my weekend?

Bug 1286219:

>The Network Time Protocol (NTP) daemon causes high CPU usage in switches with almost 250 days of uptime. This issue affects the following switch models: FS-108E, FS-108E-POE, FS-108E-FPOE, FS-124E, FS-124E-POE, FS-124E-FPOE, FS-148E, FS-148E-POE, FS-108F, FS-108F-POE, FS-108F-FPOE, FS-124F, FS-124F-POE, FS-124F-FPOE, FS-148F, FS-148F-POE, FS-148F-FPOE, FS-110G-FPOE, FS-124G, and FS-124G-FPOE.

>Workaround: Restart the switch.

This caused a large number of switches to become unresponsive and had to be restarted through direct SSH and a handful had to be manually power cycled. Most had an uptime of 248 days.

The high CPU usage isn't being logged and some of the switches that went offline weren't experiencing the bug, it was the upstream switch that it couldn't establish a trunk with. Often but not always, the switch experiencing the bug would still function, you could ping it but the CPU would be pegged. Most would allow a remote restart but some went offline completely or failed to restart after running exe reboot.

TAC confirmed that rebooting was the only resolution.

I'm not certain on the other version but is fixed in 7.6.7.

SS letter says they don't count sick or vacation time against reduction

But everything online seems to contradict this. The form states they don't use sick and vacation time as part of their calculation - I don't have the letter with me so I can't provide the exact verbiage.

Started collecting SS at the beginning of 2025

Last year earned was $33k, $7k of that was sick and vacation, a good chunk was accrued prior to collecting SS at the beginning of the year.

It seems this could be a special case? And we can dispute their determination to lower the amount they're using as earned income - resulting in an underpayment in SS by ~$3k.

However, left the job, so it might be really difficult to get proof of this. The only thing we have is pay check stubs showing PTO pay.

Can we submit their form and include all the pay check stubs or is there something else we should do or include?

I've joined the club! Ultrasounds showed bilateral fat containing inguinal hernias, one 5cm and the other 3cm

I had been having some odd feeling in my abdomen for well over a year and assumed it was gastro problems or may pelvic floor dysfunction.. a physical checkup a year ago found nothing.

Scheduled another checkup two weeks ago because it didn't go away or get better, nothing found.

Did a dynamic ultrasound last Friday. Results on Monday - they found both, one on each side.

Have an appointment with a surgeon in 3 weeks.

I guess fat only is good, which is a bit surprising as I've had some recent bowel issues - having to go then having to go again ~30-60 minutes later.

Fortunately they don't really hurt, more like a rock in my shoe.

Something odd I've noticed and why I thought it may have been pelvic floor dysfunction, the hernias are more uncomfortable the day after sexual activity, even masterbation. I haven't noticed any other activity that affects it, though I have been careful not to overstrain myself in that area to not cause further issues.

I'm a bit anxious to meet with the surgeon to understand their recommendation and next steps.

A bit of bummer, this is the first year I've ever had an HMO so getting a second surgical opinion may not be easy & for the first time in 5 years, I opted for a higher deductible insurance with a 20% Copay. I've hit my out of pocket (other unrelated medic expenses) but still have ~$3k before I hit Max out of pocket. I'm lucky to have it though.

Migrating from streaming to lidarr + other apps - how do you sort through music and find new stuff?

I've pretty much always used streaming services, back in the day I had a few CDs but it was much easier just to pay or listen to a streaming service but I'm trying something different.

As such I've setup lidarr with slskd & navidrome but getting overwhelmed with how much music there is that I don't like.

For instance, I like a handful of clean bandit songs so i added the artist, which then downloads all of their stuff which is cool, except I don't like all of their stuff, especially the remixes and duplicate singles from albums. I went back in to lidarr, unmonitored and deleted a bunch of them but I haven't even listened to half the downloaded songs. That's just one group/artist.

Instead of downloading everything by the artist, should I only download the songs I know (or think) I like?

What's your process?

& to that - how do you find new music using lidarr (& the rest?) If i were streaming, they'd just slip a song in that i might like. With lidarr & all, you can do that but on crack if you have it watch for new albums+EPs+Singles and seems like it could get overwhelming to manage.

It seems like one trick is to rate songs you don't like 1 star on navidrome and then you can set up a smart playlist to not play those (haven't played with this yet) and then later spend some time manually nuking 1 star content from lidarr.

My dad's kitchen sink hasn't worked in months

I live 2 hours away. His kitchen sink hasn't worked in months. He can't do it himself and says he needs emotional support.

My last time visiting him I tried scheduling a plumber that day (because he doesn't want to be the only one there with the plumber) and they were a no call no show.

I asked my brother who lives in the same city to help him, 2 months ago and nothing.

I pretty much take care of our mom, who's not an alcoholic but just a different set a problems. Struggle to take care of myself. Then have to see him like this and no one else stepping up to the plate to help.

At this point he's just waiting for death to come knock on his door.

I went to the beach two days in a row

My goal was to get in the water and go swimming but I'll take just showing up, touching the water and hanging out for more than 10 minutes as as a win.

I'm not sure what's holding me back from just getting in the water - I kind of feel like a skittish cat afraid of something new.

Part of me thinks I should be able to just go jump in the water - I know I'm not going to get hurt, nothing bad will happen to me but I don't do it.

I plan to go back in the next day or two and instead of going fully in to the water, I think my goal is going to be to take a few steps (barefoot) into the water

May 31st Crypto Wheel Spin

25 points

Not sure if it's the same for everyone as I've seen conflicting amounts.

Here are some of my previous spin results (always investing $5 ($4.75+$.25 fee) in either bitcoin or ethereum:

  • 2nd - TBD
  • 1st - TBD
  • 31st - 25
  • 30th - 25
  • 29th - 25
  • 28th - 25
  • 27th - 500
  • 26th - 25
  • 25th - 25
  • 24th - 25
  • 23rd - 75
  • 22nd - 25
  • 21st - Issue with spin, support credited me $3
  • 20th - missed
  • 19th - missed
  • 18th - missed
  • 17th - 150
  • 16th - 25
  • 15th - missed
  • 14th - missed
  • 13th - missed
  • 12th - 25
  • 11th - missed
  • 10th - 25
  • 9th - 50
  • 8th - 25
  • 7th - 100
  • 6th - Issue with spin, support credited me $2
  • 4th - 50

I've invested "$5" in crypto 18 days that I was allowed to spin (2 days where i couldn't spin) which cost $4.50 in fees to buy but net 1,225 in points or equivalent of $12.25. If were to sell, that would be another $4.50 in fees (i assume, i haven't checked what it would cost to sell it all it once) my net 'profit' would be (assuming i sold at the same price i bought): $3.25.

If you factor in the two days the spin failed that brings my total fees to buy to $5 but a net of $12.25 in points + $5 cash. After selling, 'profit' would be $7.25 (assuming no loss on the sale.)

GM (car) Insurance Lapsed and can't renew today

I've only had GM insurance for 6 months and this is my first time renewing with them. I received notice at the beginning of the month that I was going to be charged, cool, I have my account set on auto pay.

Yesterday i received an email that my payment has been declined - I didn't have me GM card on me (they wanted to verify the 3 digit code) so I figured I'd take care of it today.

Nope.

Apparently they tried charging my credit card the day my insurance ends, giving me less than 1 day to fix the issue. It wasn't until I received the email today telling me that my insurance has lapsed that I realized what's going on.

Never have I ever had an insurance company to try charge my card the day my policy expires & never have I had a failed payment like this. The credit card is less than 8 months old & i see the pending charge from GM insurance on it! There's zero reason for the credit card company to have declined payment.

GM's email to me today tells me to call them immediately (and they don't have a number listed) and when i check their site, they're closed on Sundays, I tried calling anyways, same thing. Since tomorrow is a holiday, I suspect they'll be closed as well.

So if i want to drive legally (I was planning a 60mile trip to my parents today) - I have to sign up with a different provider.

Edit: re-reviewed the email i received yesterday and there was no mention of the date of when my policy was going to expire or when i needed to call in by, just an "ACTION NEEDED", not even an "Immediate". The letter on this email had a different number than the website, called it and same thing, "Call back during business hours"

I didn't make it obvious but they won't let me pay the premium via the website, it tells me my policy is no longer active and i need to call.

Am I crazy or are there a lot of picture with fake faces?

I don't want to share any but the are sooo many profiles with pictures that look like the faces have been glued on over someone else's. The skin tone or lighting is off, the jaw line looks weird.. even the direction the face is pointing looks distorted and doesn't match the hair and rest of the body.

Even the general facial expressions are the same between photos, just minor tweaks. It's like they got a realistic 3d model of a face and can kinda match the orientation enough to fit on someone else's photo. Then blend/blur the hairline.

It's so creepy.

I wish I could share some of these, I can't be the only one seeing them.

Dad's kitchen sink has not been draining and he's not capable of getting a plumber on his own. Apparently my cousin stopped by and said the p trap was clear.

I'm only able to make it to PH on the weekends, does anyone know who I can try for a Saturday appointment?

Was thinking of trying roto rooter since I can schedule right from their website and had luck with them in the past.
