  • My great grandmother's wedding certificate lists her as a spinster, at the ripe old age of 19. This was a little over 100 years ago, in 1914

  • 'Honest Doc, that's exactly how it got up there!'

  • The team are helpful too, and helped me with a question when I set it up 🙂

  • If it's anything like my server, it's in the same room, but only connected to the power and network. You can open and close the drive, but it doesn't have a keyboard, mouse, or monitor 👍

  • I'm still on Windows for now, so I use a PortableApps installation to claim the games instead of a phone. I do the same for my wife and kid too. Neither of them has the Epic installer 🤷🏻‍♂️😁

  • If we're being pedantic, in The Matrix, Neo says 'I know kung fu' to explain that he both knows what all the moves are, and how to use them. As that was the topic of the post, I used the same sentence structure to mean the same thing about all languages, including programming 😉

  • If I could 'cheat' and say 'I know every language in the world', and that included programming languages and things like scientific notation as a language, I'd take that in a heartbeat. If not, I'd take programming, as at least then I can create things and make money.

    If speaking every language included dead and forgotten languages too though, then it would be a very tough choice.

  • Hasn't qBittorrent got an indexer column? I'm not home to check, but I'm sure I've got that set up

  • Thanks for the suggestion :)

    I ended up going for the Motorola Moto G85 earlier today. It ticks all the boxes, plus my wife decided to tell me after I'd been looking at lots of different phones that she uses a Motorola in work, and likes the style >.<

  • It looks good, thanks :)

    The higher storage and RAM would be helpful, but the downside is that it's still a Xiaomi. It's definitely going in the possibly pile though, thanks :)

  • Thanks for replying :)

    No, I'd prefer to avoid any sort of debt or credit when possible.

  • This is what it's like for me too, especially now, like @tiefling@lemmy.blahaj.zone said in their comment, that movies seem to be longer now.

    I've got loads of movies at home or on streaming services that I want to watch, but because so many are over two hours long, and essentially have a ritual around them of getting your drinks and snacks together and doing nothing else, I don't bother putting them on. I'll sit there for hours and watch something short like Futurama though.

    I've even got to the stage where if an episode of something is longer than about 45 minutes, I struggle to decide to watch that too.

  • Does Roblox work now? It used to, but Roblox changed something so that it didn't, but I didn't think anyone had got it working again.

    EDIT: Sorry, I saw the other reply after I posted

  • I've found the file in one of my backups. It's a Windows batch file, so you'd need to save it as a .bat file. The contents are:

    @echo off

    for %%a in (.) do (

    md "%%~na" 2>nul

    move "%%a" "%%~na"

    )

    but, I searched online first, and a lot of people now are saying to use FileBot instead, as it gives you more options:

    https://www.filebot.net/

  • If your movies are just in one big folder, there's a Windows batch file out there called file2folder.bat

    I used to have a copy, and it just takes the name of every file, creates a folder with the same name, and puts the file into it. Instead of something like c:\movies\batman.mp4 for example, you end up with c:\movies\batman\batman.mp4 which is something that Radarr can work with.

    You'll probably still need to do some tidying up and matching, but from what I remember, it's a lot easier :)

  • Yes, that's what it does by default. The problem happens when you open a new tab to search for something, for example, and the update screen and restart distract you and you forget what you were going to search for. It's like the feeling you get when you walk into a room and can't remember why.

  • Mint, it just works.

    You can set up automatic updates too, so they won't end up with out of date software and possible security holes. The only downside is Firefox. If an update runs while your grandparents are using Firefox, it will stop working and show them a page that says it needs to be restarted.

    It's not a major issue in itself, but if you have any sort of memory issues, like I do and lots of older people do, it can derail your train of thought and cause you problems.
