I had the same suspicion, but I feel that's just as unreasonable as Trump voters saying, "I didn't think he would actually XYZ."

"Does it hurt?"

We saw the same contempt during the debate when he said, "I'm talking now. Does that sound familiar?" What an utter psychopath.

It was interesting, but not surprising, that he said both that Obamacare was a failure, and that they would protect all the parts of it that people enjoy.

Hey all, I'm very new to self-hosting and have no background in anything computer-related. I'll explain in as much detail as I can. I'm running Plex on a Synology DS220+. I'm using the Plex app, i.e. not using Docker (see note below).

The issue: I can watch Plex on my local network in 4K, but outside my local network it barely makes it to 720p. I thought it was an issue with my upload speed, but I got gigabit last week and it hasn't fixed the issue. I have remote access enabled in Plex through a manually-specified port. The issue persists with my own account and any friends who have access to my library.

I appreciate any advice, links or questions you can offer!

NOTE: I understand the benefits of Docker and I promise to transition in the future. I spent many hours learning and troubleshooting, and it was even functional at times, but eventually I needed something that just worked.

EDIT: You all have been so helpful and supportive. Thanks for meeting me where I'm at and sharing some potential issues.

EDIT2: I found the culprit by accident. I had UPnP enabled on my router. I turned it off and my local speeds increased significantly, and my Plex library is available remotely. I don't know how or why UPnP is related, but that's what the solution was for me. Thanks again for all your input and support.

There are a few spots I've neglected to replace old brittle sealant (around the kitchen sink) or never sealed at all (new faucet I installed 8 months ago). Now there's black gunk accruing under and around the sealant.

When I go to replace the sealant, how do I kill the mold so it's safe to seal over again?

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

I got a set of metal picks from Harbor Freight for like 3 bucks. They're similar to the pick tool that a dental hygienist uses. I use these things nearly every day to scrape stuff out of a crevice, retrieve something out of a narrow hole, pull stuff out of a tube or straw, precision clean corners of things, etc. I love them.

I donate frequently also. It pains me that people poke fun at Wikimedia or Jimmy Wales for their constant fundraising. It's such a ubiquitous tool, it's a miracle that it's free.

You've worked there for... a few weeks? And you're declaring that the reasons for the strike are bullshit? Bless your heart and good luck being exploited.

About a year ago?

I was at a large outdoor music festival in 2015. On Saturday night thousands of people were lined up to use overflowing port-a-potties. Naturally, I made my way to the perimeter fence to pee. A cop came up behind me, shined his bright flashlight on me and said, "It's not worth an indecent exposure charge, man."

I was alone, in the dark, facing away from the zero people near me, and this pervert approaches me and threatens me with his pervert law. Get a fucking life.
