2024.05.14 01:04 k4gan New Aquarium from Used Tank

TLDR: Setting up a planted 45 gallon second hand tank and I have some questions.
My partner works at a school and they just discontinued their marine biology aquarium lab. We were lucky enough to get high quality lights and two tanks, a massive 125 gallon (48ā€, 24ā€, 25ā€) with built in sump connectors and stand and a 45 gallon tank (48ā€, 12.75ā€, 14ā€). Both of these tanks were stored inside and were originally saltwater. We are going to keep the larger tank for when I finish school and we can afford to do a saltwater tank, but I am in the process of building a stand and cleaning the smaller tank to transfer my school of guppies into.
I have heard that structural integrity of tanks is something I should watch out for with second hand tanks and wanted to get some advice on what to check for.
I have had aquariums for most of my life, but have only recently been researching and educating myself on plants, nutrients, and creating semi self sufficient aquariums. I have had success with my smaller 10 gallon planted tank.
In the new 45 gallon tank I am planning on doing a substrate of fluval stratum (in bio bags), a layer of pea pebble to give height, and sand on top. (I was planning on using lava rock instead of pea pebbles but the store only had larger rocks of it and I assumed it would be too large.)
Iā€™m not set on stocking but I plan on having good assortment of plants. After everything gets a chance to settle in and bio-load and bacteria are established I do also want to have a pothos feeding off the aquarium, since I love the look of their roots in aquariums.
I am in no means an expert, but I do have some base knowledge on planted aquariums. Nonetheless I wanted to get some advice or helpful tips on the massive project I am about to embark on.
Questions: 1. Should I be worried about the structural integrity of my tank? 2. What is the best way to ensure leftover salt is cleaned and removed from the tank? 3. How do I ensure snails from my previous tank donā€™t follow my plants into the new tank or how do I kill them? (assassin snails and personally removing them have failed) 4. Am I crazy and are any of my plans incorrect?

2024.05.14 01:03 Pretend-Currency448 Water Mono Run

So currently I am attempting to do a water mino type run in pokemon Scarlet, but I am having trouble with Iono. Does anyone have any tips to beat her using only water types? Or is my best bet to beat her to grind it out and hope I get lucky? I have a feeling once I get past her the rest of my run is going to be incredibly easy. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

2024.05.14 00:37 iwanthidan PC won't boot up after changing the DRAM frequency on freshly installed DDR5 RA

I need urgent help. I've upgraded my old system to an ASRock B650 Pro RS Mobo, Gskill Trident Neo Z5 2x16 RAM and Ryzen 5 7600 CPU.
I'm not well informed in PC building so I took it to my local PC repair shop. Although the Windows located in the SSD wasn't detected for some reason, we had to to a clean install and it started working. Right after that he went into the BIOS to adjust the XMP profile settings for the new RAM. However, after upping the DRAM frequency PC shut down and didn't boot for a few seconds. After going back to the BIOS menu, he decreased it more but this time the PC didn't boot up at all, despite clearly having power (fans were spinning, ram and gpu RGB was working).
He tried a few methods such as taking out the CMOS pill and putting it back, inserting a single slot of RAM, but nothing has worked. He said the RAM might be damaged, which was a shock to me because there weren't any warnings whatsoever on the BIOS menu before adjusting dram frequency. He said I have to buy a new pair of RAM if the higher frequency somehow killed it. He said he'll look more into it overnight and send it to another PC technician that specializes in motherboards. I'm in an absolute dread please give me any tips regarding what to do, I truly hope it's not a hardware problem, I can't afford not having a PC right now and currently don't have enough money for a new pair of RAM, I literally bought these last week.
Tl; DR:
New DDR5 RAM inserted on a new b650 Mobo
Upped dram frequency after fresh windows install
Don't work and throw me into the BIOS menu.
Decreased the dram this time but the PC won't boot up. The red light on Mobo next to the RAM slot keeps turning on and there is no display despite the gpu and CPU fans are working
Took out the CMOS battery, single stick of RAM and tried rebooting it, nothing worked
PC repair guy says RAM might be damaged, says PC will stay there overnight and if he can't fix it he'll send it to a motherboard expert.

2024.05.13 23:51 Low_Department_2532 Porque o Roblox NĆ£o melhora o update de banimentos?

Porque o Roblox NĆ£o melhora o update de banimentos?
https://preview.redd.it/cpy46dy2k90d1.png?width=420&format=png&auto=webp&s=3c412cdc54859cd62c2a3c0043756879d1b7e336
Um dia, meu amigo foi banido por ter falado a palavra "y", sim, a palavra "y". Por razĆ£o discriminatĆ³ria, nĆ£o faz sentido ser banido por uma palavra "y", mas considerando que os banimentos no Roblox sĆ£o feitos por uma IA bem mal feita, um dia um cara disse "seu feio" e foi banido por 3 dias, por assĆ©dio. Pelo menos alguns banimentos fizeram sentido, como o de um amigo meu chamado Paulo, que disse: "Ć© sĆ³ jogar um aviĆ£o nas duas torres que jĆ” era, todo o BR faz isso..." Ele foi banido por 1 semana, mereceu. Mas agora ser banido por falar "y" ou algo simples, tipo "feio"? Um dia, um cara sĆ³ disse "/e dance3" e foi banido!
Isso tudo por um bot do Roblox que ainda deve estar em beta e nunca mais atualizar por causa do David Baszucki e seus administradores do Roblox. Mas eu acho que o Roblox vai decair se nĆ£o fizer porcaria nenhuma para a comunidade, porque ninguĆ©m mais suporta o Roblox como em 2019 ou 2017. Vamos sentir saudades de 2018. Ou algo assim. Eu sĆ³ sei que o Roblox uma hora vai falir.
AlĆ©m dos exemplos que mencionei anteriormente, hĆ” muitos outros casos de banimentos sem motivo aparente no Roblox. ƀs vezes, jogadores sĆ£o banidos simplesmente por expressar sua opiniĆ£o ou por usar certas palavras ou frases que sĆ£o consideradas inapropriadas pela IA de moderaĆ§Ć£o do jogo.
Esses banimentos injustos muitas vezes deixam os jogadores frustrados e desanimados com a plataforma. A falta de transparĆŖncia e a aparente arbitrariedade nos critĆ©rios de moderaĆ§Ć£o levantam sĆ©rias preocupaƧƵes sobre a gestĆ£o da comunidade por parte do Roblox.
Embora o Roblox tenha sido uma plataforma popular por muitos anos, a falta de aƧƵes efetivas para resolver esses problemas pode levar Ć  perda de confianƧa dos usuĆ”rios e, eventualmente, Ć  queda da popularidade do jogo. Ɖ importante que o Roblox leve a sĆ©rio as preocupaƧƵes da comunidade e trabalhe para melhorar seus sistemas de moderaĆ§Ć£o e comunicaĆ§Ć£o com os jogadores.
Os banimentos sem motivo aparente por meio do voice chat sĆ£o ainda mais preocupantes, pois podem indicar falhas sĆ©rias no sistema de moderaĆ§Ć£o do Roblox. Quando os jogadores sĆ£o punidos sem terem cometido infraƧƵes claras, isso mina a confianƧa na plataforma e pode afastar os usuĆ”rios.
O voice chat Ć© uma ferramenta importante para a comunicaĆ§Ć£o entre os jogadores, mas tambĆ©m pode ser um terreno fĆ©rtil para abusos e comportamentos inadequados. No entanto, Ć© responsabilidade do Roblox garantir que seus sistemas de moderaĆ§Ć£o sejam precisos e justos, para que os jogadores possam desfrutar da experiĆŖncia sem medo de serem punidos injustamente.
Ɖ crucial que o Roblox investigue esses casos de banimento sem motivo e trabalhe para melhorar seus algoritmos de detecĆ§Ć£o de comportamento inadequado, garantindo assim uma comunidade mais saudĆ”vel e justa para todos os jogadores. A transparĆŖncia e a comunicaĆ§Ć£o aberta com a comunidade tambĆ©m sĆ£o essenciais para reconstruir a confianƧa dos usuĆ”rios afetados por esses problemas.
Bem mas O roblox Ja esta Decaindo lentamente, E Ainda o Pior, Deixa Estrupadores Na plataforma igual Aquela Noticia que uma crianƧa de 7 anos foi estrupada (a skin) Aqui esta escrito em Ingles.
Editorā€™s note: This post has been updated
Amber Petersen was reading to her daughter one morning in late June while the seven-year-old played on her iPad. In the middle of her recitation, the young girl interrupted her to show her what was going on in her Roblox game. Thatā€™s when Petersen saw her daughterā€™s avatar being ā€œviolently gang-raped.ā€
WATCH BELOW: Online security expert offers tips on new virtual reality video games
Mas Em um resumo.A June uma garota de 7 anos de idade estava jogando Num Ipad, enquanto foi interrupida por sua mĆ£e por ver o avatar da sua filha sendo violentamente, estrupada por varias pessoas (gang rape)
Mas isso ja foi algo bem antigo e o roblox ja arrumou, mas As vezes o roblox Cai e Sobe.

2024.05.13 23:25 MitchConnir Need advice: Hiring a Sysadmin (or other title) after decades of subpar IT management

Hey everyone,
I could really use the advice of the sysadmin community on the next steps for hiring someone to help clean up an IT environment that is the result of multiple decades of organic growth and management by the same solo IT person, a person whose IT knowledge and curiosity peaked a long time ago.
Anyway, my situation is as follows. I was originally going to write an even longer history of our IT situation, and would be happy too if people are interested, but here is the gist of my situation. I'm sorry if anything is a bit disjointed, but I'm trying to refrain from writing a case study.
I have worked for the last 15 years at my family's business, and Harry has been managing our IT for the last 40 years. Harry was one of my father's first employees, had gone to school for music-related majors, took a non-IT job at a new manufacturing and retail company, then became our IT person as we developed IT needs.
Fast forward after a few decades of organic IT growth with Harry reporting to our prior CFO for the last 20 years (a CFO who was territorial, unpleasant to work with, and terrible with technology), and the state of our current IT environment is bad. I believe that is mainly due to a horrible combination of Harry not doing a great job at anything IT-related, and being our sole IT person, and having a tech-illiterate CFO managing Harry. Our CFO would also occasionally find small-time/hacky consultants to work with, but never wanted to listen to my input. After a few years of being at the company, I suggested we needed a ticketing system, but our CFO wanted to keep managing projects using a Lotus 1-2-3 spreadsheet...
After our CFO retired, we brought in a new CFO, and she came with a referral to an MSP her husband had used at the company he was at. That company had sold to a larger holding company since the CFO's husband started using the MSP, one that seemed to mess around in the crypto space, and I thought the lead was bad (based on a variety of things I saw). Over the last 15 years, a large part of my job has been doing due diligence on vendors, software solutions, web developers, and various agencies. Regardless, we spent a few months doing due diligence and a paid audit with that MSP. By the end of the audit, we decided not to move forward with that MSP.
In addition, our company decided Harry should start reporting to me rather than our new CFO. I have 15 years of experience at the company overseeing all of our internet properties, digital marketing, and was kind of a third wheel of the IT department when I first started at the company. I went to undergrad for Management Information Systems, have a graduate business degree, and basically consider myself an IT person who isn't pursuing an IT career. I know our internal companies well, what our users do and don't need, and understand the costs and opportunity costs to bringing (or not bringing) in new systems and technology.
I have also been tinkering with computers and technology for almost three decades. I build my own computers, built my own NAS running Unraid, run updates on our VMware-based servers, can read and modify code, wired my own home with CAT 6, had a brief stint as a Sharepoint developer, moved 100+ employees from our original POP3 email system to Google Workspace (when I started at the company), set up a UniFi-based dedicated WiFi and surveillance network, specced out and racked our new Dell servers, and have helped replace and migrate dozens of our users off of old Windows 7 machines. I also have personally undertaken onboarding our endpoints in NinjaOne, installing Defender for Endpoint, and bringing our various Fortigate firewalls up to date. My point here is that while I am not a Sysadmin myself (and definitely am not suggesting I'm an expert at ANY of those things), and definitely don't have depth when it comes to Active Directory, Azure, etc., I am a bit of a jack of all trades IT person, and am very well-suited to work with a real Sysadmin. For almost everything I do, I either find what the best practice is, know that I or we aren't meeting best practices, or will happily let our team/company know when I can't expertly speak to something.
With that backstory out of the way, here are a few extra points:
  1. Harry basically works half the week, has health issues, wants to retire in a year or two, and I can't count on him to come up with any new or current solutions. Harry has been loyal to the company, and I consider him a friend, and there is still work and value he can add until he is ready to retire. That said, he is our "IT Director", but whoever we hire will not be reporting to Harry. I will figure out the structural and human/social aspects of not having our new hire feel bad having to comment on things Harry has or hasn't done, as well as figuring out work Harry can do a good job on that won't create extra work. I expect I would probably have Harry do work on the legacy ERP system he has helped support, which is something I don't expect our new hire to have much to do with.
  2. There will probably be some people out there who feel there has been mismanagement, that Harry sounds incompetent, that we were understaffed, or that the ex-CFO did a bad job, etc. Most of that is probably true, but that is the past. As someone who generally knows a fair amount about IT, I HAVE known that our IT situation isn't great, but as I said, the situation is complicated.
  3. Our current IT environment is a bit of a mess. We are just now finishing up replacing remaining Windows 7 machines, have a brand new ESXi cluster (set up pre-Broadcom acquisition) but have to set up a few new virtual machines to replace Server 2012 R2 (or worse) virtual machines, have to remove local admin privileges from almost all of our users (this is decades in the making), and have loads of best practices and management systems I'd like to see us have in place. There are way more projects than just this, but this is just a sampling. Outside of lots of overdue overhaul, I don't think we have a tremendous amount of break/fix at the company.
  4. I am so understaffed right now with my original responsibilities at the company, basically being our main new IT person, and trying to plan for our next major ERP systems. I don't have enough hours in the day and am killing myself emotionally. I need to hire someone full-time, but I need advice on if that job title should be a Sysadmin, and how I should go about presenting this opportunity. I am NOT expecting whoever we hire to be an expert in everything, which is a common complaint I've seen in sysadmin. I would like to strategically hire partners (or continue to work with a person or two we already work with) when it comes to things like firewall expertise. Our new hire would work directly with me to start overhauling our IT systems as needed. I have no expectations someone can come in and clean everything up in weeks or months, but I'd like to find someone talented who will seek out right-sized, best-practice-based solutions and systems, and work with me to transform an IT environment that was basically built under one person's watch. When hiring for the position, I'd like to be upfront that there is initially going to be a lot of project work required.
  5. I have been looking through sysadmin for probably the last two years, and I often seem complaints about management not getting IT, managers being too frugal, etc. While our IT situation is messier than I would like to bring someone into, I feel confident I can give whoever we hire a collegial, bureaucracy-free environment. I am practical, am great at knowing what I do and don't know, understand project management (I'm used to working on year-long projects), and am very familiar with the common joke about "anything that plugs into the wall being IT". While the job I'm looking to hire for won't be turn-key, my goal and plan is to hire someone who won't be expected to know everything or work all the time, and that as we continue to improve our systems, that it won't need to be a rigorous IT job. I am planning to work closely with whoever we hire, will help cover any non-business-hours issues, etc. I love the idea of someone smart coming in, helping whip things into shape, and developing the job into a cushy one. I am willing to pay for someone talented, and one of my highest priorities will be to provide a great work environment.
  6. In my original post, I mentioned that our IT situation has been complicated. By that I mean Harry transitioning into an IT role decades ago, bad managementā€“especially by our prior CFO, a lack of awareness on how bad the IT situation wasā€“from Harry himself, as well as management. There are lots of reasons our IT situation is what it is, but intentional understaffing to save money wasn't one of them.
Finally, after all the points above, I would appreciate any constructive advice on who/what job title to hire for, what I should be looking for, etc. Do I look for five or seven plus years of experience? I want someone who has enough experience that he/she at least knows about deploying software using AD and Group Policy, making sure our fleet of machines is up-to-date using Microsoft-provided or paid tools available, etc.
Whenever I read through posts and replies on this subreddit, I see people who provide good answers (or who are smart enough to come to this subreddit to seek advice), and I think to myself how I'd like to work with someone like that. I don't know if that seems weird or like a low bar, but right now I'm used to working with Harry, and he definitely doesn't know about this Subreddit, struggles to use Google Meet, isn't big into 2FA.
Thanks to anyone who read all of this, and to anyone who posts any tips or advice!

2024.05.13 23:00 Feles_Amans Forgiven. (Art & Ressurectionpost 1/4)

Forgiven. (Art & Ressurectionpost 1/4)
/uw few things first, No the Art isnā€™t by me (I am a talentless wretch xD) but it was commissioned by me from the wonderful Kahlrul S, who understood the vision from the beginning. Secondly just really quickly wanted to shoutout the incredible members of the SGA for waiting so damm long and patiently on this arc, to finally happen, but especially to the amazing u/Zyltris who actually sat and RPā€™d out the entire following loredump with meā€¦ thanks for making me cryā€¦ for several hoursā€¦ and I really did feel obligated to do our conversation justiceā€¦ so hereā€™s hoping I did xDā€¦ anyways back to the storyā€¦
/rw
Much time has passed for Nhak during his stay in heaven. Seph comes and goes at varying times to provide things for him, and occasionally joins in while he's talking through the aether to his friends of the SGA.
*Today is different, however. Seph stops and plops down somewhere nearby.
"Say, Nhak! You've been here a while. How are you feeling? Thoughts?*
ā€œI figure we haven't spoken much despite my being your only company up here... Well, other than about things happening in the prime material."
The old Biomancer pausesā€¦ and sighsā€¦ seemingly tired and exhausted as everā€¦ she suspects he hasnā€™t slept a wink since he arrived in heavenā€¦ despite what he tells herā€¦ and kneels across from the goddessā€¦ Magnificent golden armor clanking slightly as he doesā€¦
A part of Seph finds it semi-amusing that the biomancerā€™s armor in life was so important to his identity that it was deemed a vital aspect of his spirit form in deathā€¦
Neverthelessā€¦ heā€™s clearly worried about somethingā€¦ and though his emotionless helmā€¦ intentionally or notā€¦ hides a great deal of his emotions from the outside worldā€¦ She has been around him for long enough to tell based off the little, barely visible subconscious habits what his mood happens to beā€¦ something whichā€¦ despite his profound wisdom and experienceā€¦ has clearly not fully realizedā€¦ or at least chosen to accept and ignoreā€¦
"Despite the fact I'm capable of reading peoples' minds, experience tells me the best bet is to talk to them about it. I'm not just asking to know, I'm asking so you can express it." Seph says, and she rolls around to lie on her back to stare at the ceiling.
She twirls her finger around in an idle motion, not looking directly at Nhak. She is rather casual in all this.
"You're a good man, but you keep things close to the chest. I understand, but nonetheless..."
The Biomancer places a spectral left hand on his face and makes a rubbing motion, almost as if he was trying to clean something from his eyesā€¦. onlyā€¦ theyā€™re under his helm, so the motion doesnā€™t accomplish much aside from making a faint steel-on-steel scraping noise which seems to resonate in the observably endless void for minutes on endā€¦
The Biomancer sighs againā€¦ he opens his mouthā€¦ as if to speakā€¦ but seemingly thinks better of itā€¦ once againā€¦ it can be easily identified that despite his countless hours sitting, listening, advising people on the best ways around their problems and woesā€¦ sitting in the exact position that Seph sat nowā€¦
He clearly wasnā€™t experienced in playing the other sideā€¦
ā€œIā€¦ I guess Iā€™m just worried about themā€¦ they areā€¦ really, the only friends Iā€™ve had besides a few closed communities of dwarves and ents for several hundred yearsā€¦.ā€
ā€œI was aloneā€
ā€œFor a very long timeā€¦ Andā€¦. And then Ash tripped into my woodsā€¦ā€
ā€œAnd that changed everythingā€¦ā€
ā€œSo Iā€¦ guess Iā€™m worried about her tooā€¦ā€
ā€œAndā€¦ā€
He pausesā€¦ his voice wavering heavilyā€¦ he is very clearly on the cusp of tearsā€¦ It is an interesting sightā€¦ perhapsā€¦ a metal giant, staunch, resolute, and unbreakableā€¦ curled in his kneesā€¦
Weeping.
ā€œT-ā€¦ There were peopleā€¦ that I wanted to see againā€¦ up hereā€¦ old friends long goneā€¦ā€
ā€œBut none are anywhere to be foundā€¦ā€
ā€œAnd I guessā€¦ that for the first time since I met my apprenticeā€¦ā€
ā€œI feel truly alone againā€
ā€œAndā€¦. And that-ā€œ
And then the Biomancer could take no moreā€¦ the sound of his weary and uncertain voice cut abruptly short by the soft sound of sniffling and the faint patter of tiny Ethereal water dropletsā€¦ as they descended from the base of his helm onto his breastplate belowā€¦
A tiny waterfall amongst an endless sea of clouds.
Seph sits up from her lying position, and looks at Nhak. He finally let something out!
"I'm sorry things turned out like this here... I know how it feels. Do you want to tell me about them? Your friends?"
The Biomancer looks up at Seph from his metal ballā€¦
ā€œMyā€¦ friends?ā€
ā€œWellā€¦ā€
He saysā€¦momentarily stifling his tearsā€¦ the calculated visage of the unyielding bastion sliding faultlessly back into placeā€¦ as it had done so many times beforeā€¦
ā€œThose which are still around you have mostly met, with 3 notable exceptions I supposeā€¦ā€
ā€œAnd I thinkā€¦ If I were to describe the friends now gone I should have a tale to tell the length of which exceeds the time in which we have to spend in heaven itselfā€¦ā€
ā€œI knew so many wonderful people in my lifeā€¦ and lost so many moreā€¦ā€
For a momentā€¦ another crack seems to form in his emotional armor which seems to lie as a second suit beneath his plateā€¦ before sealing itself instantlyā€¦
ā€œWhen I diedā€¦ I truly was the veryā€¦ very last of a great many thingsā€¦ for I carried with me the memory of the things that came beforeā€¦ and now I fear some of that memory is lost from the earthā€¦ā€
ā€œAnd we will never remember their achievementsā€¦.ā€
ā€œOr their sacrificesā€¦ā€
"You remember them, Nhak. And their souls, while not here, live on in the world that went on without them... Even if unremembered."
Seph clasps her hands and closes her eyes for a moment.
"I know how you feel because there are friends and family I left behind too. No one here, in this universe, knows their names."
"I had a tendency to talk too much, but I learned to slow down for their sake. I wish I had the chance to talk to them more... And I hope you don't mind me saying that. I just want to show that I relate."
She looked at him, a solemn expression turned his way. It is sad, but not without a modicum of warmth.
"I think there is a reason your soul is stuck here beyond the mechanics of your arts and their effect on your soul. I could send you back myself, but I know there's resistance that comes from your soul's desires, so I never pushed it."
And thenā€¦ She hugged him.
The Biomancer collapsed Instantly to his knees.
There were no wordsā€¦ in basicā€¦ nor elvishā€¦ nor dwarvishā€¦ nor entishā€¦ nor any other language or dialect he had ever learned over the manyā€¦ many years he had been alive to describe the sheer weight of emotions which seemed to crush him as if the weight of a mountain had been placed squarely between his shouldersā€¦
His emotional armorā€¦ his behemoth stoicismā€¦ had not just been crackedā€¦
It had been completely destroyed.
All of the years of cuts, little fractures, and ramshackle repairsā€¦ made by people he had cared forā€¦
Buckling under the weight of a single hugā€¦
Gone in an Instant.
Nothing could describe the Anger, which boiled from his toes to the tip of his headā€¦
A rawā€¦ unbridled furyā€¦ directed inwards towards the empty hole where his soul should have beenā€¦ and which it wasā€¦ in a wayā€¦
A fury at his foolishnessā€¦ to believe that those who truly cared about him if they discovered what he wasā€¦ and how he feltā€¦
A sadness, which surged through his body like a raging monsoonā€¦ stinging the tips of his nerves, from his hands to his feetā€¦ sending shockwave after shockwave through this body, which saw him jolt and twitch in the firm and unbreakable embrace of the goddessā€¦
A cool fire which raged within the manā€¦
The sadnessā€¦ that came with the knowledgeā€¦ that had he continued upon his pathā€¦ he would force away the few people who were left to care about himā€¦
The Fearā€¦ which gripped him like the grasping of a beast which sought to squeeze him out of existenceā€¦ which blurred his vision and barred his sensesā€¦ which pressed in like a looming darknessā€¦ surrounding on all sidesā€¦
The fear of being alone againā€¦ the fear ofā€¦
being left behindā€¦.
And then.
There was the Loveā€¦
The love which resonated through the embrace of the goddess and into the very fiber of the broken manā€¦ closing the wounds that would not heal with the coming and passing of the timesā€¦
The love which promised him a light amongst all the othersā€¦
The love which promised himā€¦
That he would never be aloneā€¦
That he would be cared forā€¦
That he would be cherishedā€¦
The love which told himā€¦ that even amongst the impossibility and danger of the universeā€¦
That he would never again be the boy in the woodsā€¦ weepingā€¦ abandoned by those he had trustedā€¦
Blood on his handsā€¦
Blood in his eyesā€¦
Running aimlessly into the coming nightā€¦
And that.
Through all the pain and sufferingā€¦
Through all the trial and traumaā€¦
He had finally been forgiven.
And with thatā€¦ he began to cryā€¦ silently at firstā€¦ but growing steadily in fervor and paceā€¦
After allā€¦ what could he even hope to doā€¦ but grip the goddess backā€¦ as tight as he could muster, as if somehow a mighty gust of wind might blow her away from himā€¦
And weep into her armsā€¦
Thickā€¦black tearsā€¦
The weight of the emotions leaving his body given physical form through the might of the spectral realmā€¦
The tears came steadilyā€¦ and there was no endā€¦ each one leaving a deepā€¦ black stain as it rolled down his torso and into the cloud belowā€¦
Staining his torsoā€¦
And yetā€¦ remarkablyā€¦ not a single tear ever touched Sephā€¦ for when they came closeā€¦ they merely drifted around her shapeā€¦ like little black fairies which danced between the two as they kneltā€¦
And through the weeping and the shuddering and the stainingā€¦ Seph could only hear two wordsā€¦ wearyā€¦ and barely audibleā€¦ from the Biomancer mouth, words which were repeatedā€¦ over, and over, and over again and again and againā€¦
ā€œIā€™mā€¦ā€
ā€œSorry.ā€
While Nhak's hold on Seph is tight, afraid as though she would fall away, her hug is just there. Reassuring. She closes her eyes, and smiles as she knows everything going on through his mind.
The images of his past: running in the woods, and weeping. They all pass through her mind too. She remembers her own perspective of running through the woods, and of fleeing the terror behind her. Cast into the darkness, in chains, and unforgiven.
A hand reached down through the abyss, and she saw his face - a father. Other faces too, of friends and of family, of lovers and of children. Far away now, but still in her heart.
The act of freedom is extended by love. When Seph was made free, when Seph escaped, it was not just because she was lovedā€¦
*** But because she had loved too.***
"Nhak. Do not say sorry."
Seph moves away and holds him by the shoulders. He sees her tears, as clear as day, but she's smiling back at him.
"You're forgiven. It is time to really be free."
And with those words.
He was.
He was Free.
Free from the sadness of lossā€¦
The loss of his friendsā€¦
The loss of the only one he had ever truly lovedā€¦
The loss of his first apprenticeā€¦
The loss of a great many things now forgotten by all but himselfā€¦
Free from the guilt which had haunted him for as long as he could possibly rememberā€¦
The guilt for the blood which stained his handsā€¦
The guilt for those he had failedā€¦
The guilt, for those he had left behindā€¦
Free from the fear which consumed him and drove him to the cusp of madnessā€¦
The fear of failure in the face of the earthā€¦
The fear of failure in the eyes of the heavensā€¦
The fear of failure in the view of those he cherishedā€¦
He. Was. Free.
And suddenly through the loveā€¦
The tears stoppedā€¦
And the heavens were quietā€¦
And then a tremor shook the Biomancerā€¦
Like the final throes of a dam ready to burst under the pressure of a mighty river
A Tremor which shook the heavensā€¦
There was a terrible groaningā€¦ as armor bulged and buckledā€¦
And then there were wingsā€¦
Beautiful, black wings
ā€¦which erupted from the back of the Biomancer and which seemed to billow his sins out and away from him like a mirage of wispy black smoke which seemed to fade into the infinity of the heavens themselvesā€¦
For he would be weighed down no longerā€¦
By his Sorrow.
By his Guilt.
By his Fear.
Nowā€¦ he was freeā€¦
And he would use the weight of his sins not as a burden to shoulderā€¦
But as wingsā€¦
Which would propel him ever up towards the person which he aspired to be most.
A Biomancer.
A Master.
A Mentor.
A Friend.
For nowā€¦
by the hand of the goddess in which embodied its very sakeā€¦
He truly wasā€¦
Free.

2024.05.13 22:54 iwanthidan PC won't boot up after changing the DRAM frequency on freshly installed DDR5 RAM.

I need urgent help. I've upgraded my old system to an ASRock B650 Pro RS Mobo, Gskill Trident Neo Z5 2x16 RAM and Ryzen 5 7600 CPU.
I'm not well informed in PC building so I took it to my local PC repair shop. Although the Windows located in the SSD wasn't detected for some reason, we had to to a clean install and it started working. Right after that he went into the BIOS to adjust the XMP profile settings for the new RAM. However, after upping the DRAM frequency PC shut down and didn't boot for a few seconds. After going back to the BIOS menu, he decreased it more but this time the PC didn't boot up at all, despite clearly having power (fans were spinning, ram and gpu RGB was working).
He tried a few methods such as taking out the CMOS pill and putting it back, inserting a single slot of RAM, but nothing has worked. He said the RAM might be damaged, which was a shock to me because there weren't any warnings whatsoever on the BIOS menu before adjusting dram frequency. He said I have to buy a new pair of RAM if the higher frequency somehow killed it. He said he'll look more into it overnight and send it to another PC technician that specializes in motherboards. I'm in an absolute dread please give me any tips regarding what to do, I truly hope it's not a hardware problem, I can't afford not having a PC right now and currently don't have enough money for a new pair of RAM, I literally bought these last week.
Tl; DR:
New DDR5 RAM inserted on a new b650 Mobo
Upped dram frequency after fresh windows install
Don't work and throw me into the BIOS menu.
Decreased the dram this time but the PC won't boot up. The red light on Mobo next to the RAM slot keeps turning on and there is no display despite the gpu and CPU fans are working
Took out the CMOS battery, single stick of RAM and tried rebooting it, nothing worked
PC repair guy says RAM might be damaged, says PC will stay there overnight and if he can't fix it he'll send it to a motherboard expert.

2024.05.13 22:40 aristhought PSA: Is this a crow in need of help, or is it just a fledgling?

Itā€™s crow nesting and fledging season! A fledgling is a young bird that has just left the nest, and is not yet a fully grown adult.
Iā€™ve seen several posts in this subreddit recently showing concern over a fledgling crow and wondering if itā€™s injured or how to help it, thinking it might be an adult crow in trouble. All very well meaning, and canā€™t blame anyone for wanting to help! However, fledglings are usually doing just fine and do not need human intervention, even if they look a little silly and clumsy.
Hereā€™s how to recognize a crow fledgling (non conclusive list, and sometimes they donā€™t have all of these features but itā€™s a great place to start):
Importantly, when they are learning to fly they are sometimes on the ground, and not yet able to take flight for long distances or much at all.
The general rule of thumb is, if you see a fledgling, leave it alone. It is being cared for and watched by adults - even if you canā€™t see the adults yourself - and is in an important stage of its development into a full grown adult. It is not recommended to directly feed a fledgling as theyā€™re still very young and may have different tolerances to certain food; adult crows will feed it and hydrate it appropriately.
If it is a particularly hot day, it might be nice to leave a dish of water out. (However there is no need to try and directly hydrate the fledgling, it will either drink it itself or the adults will use it to soak food to feed to it).
The caveat to putting out water is to check if bird flu is spreading in your area. If thatā€™s the case, it may be risky to do this, and definitely follow your local guidelines (some places will recommend against birdfeeders and water dishes).
If you do put out water, you need to very frequently wash the dish with soap and change the water. (Probably a good idea to do this regardless of if bird flu is an issue, as standing water can spread disease between animals fairly easily).
When is it OK to intervene?
Occasionally, a fledgling IS in need of help.
Fledgling vs nestling
A fledgling outside the nest is normal, a nestling outside is not. Nestlings look far more like what we see in our heads when we think of baby birds - theyā€™ll look quite naked (fledglings on the other hand have full bodies of fluff/new feathers) and quite a bit smaller. If you see a nestling out of the nest, it may have fallen. If it doesnā€™t look visibly injured (blood/broken bones), try and find the nest nearby and put it back. The myth about birds abandoning their babies if a human touches it is false.
Occasionally, crows (and other birds) will deliberately push a nestling out of the nest. This seems cruel on the surface, but sometimes they do this if they sense the nestling is very sick or something about it might compromise the wellbeing of the rest of the babies. This is pretty rare though, so unless you see a nestling that is visibly sick or injured, definitely go the route of trying to put it back.
If you canā€™t seem to find the nest, a good bet (if you have the time) is to stay nearby but out of the way of the area. Adult crows will fly in and out of their nests periodically as they take turns taking care of the babies and going out to find food or to keep watch. You can probably spot the nest by keeping an eye out for an adult coming back and maybe disappearing into tree foliage.
Next steps
In the chance that you: - find a nestling thatā€™s either injured/sick, or you absolutely cannot find the nest it fell from - find a fledgling thatā€™s obviously injured or abandoned
Call a wildlife rehabilitation centre ASAP. Do NOT try to feed it or give it anything, nestlings in particular are very vulnerable and they can easily choke on food/water. Only adult crows and trained professionals should be feeding nestlings, and even though fledglings are older, itā€™s best not to do it yourself as well. It may very well do more harm.
Adult crows might get very mad and divebomb you if you approach/touch a nestling or a fledgling. Itā€™s not personal, theyā€™re just protective of their young and even in cases when their young need help, they have no idea that youā€™re trying to help it.
Try and wear a hat or hold an umbrella if theyā€™re swooping at you. In the future, to prevent crow grudges, just offer the adults unsalted peanuts or something healthy for crows to regain their trust. (This may take a few tries, but crows do learn and adjust their opinions on people).
Keep an eye on the nestling/fledgling that needs help, and if appropriate, very gently pick it up and keep it in a quiet, dark space (like a well ventilated cardboard box). Try not to touch it or interact with it very much, because itā€™s very stressful for young birds to be handled by humans, even with the best intentions, and itā€™s easy to accidentally injure them further. Just keep it safe until a professional can care for it.
Hope this info helps people! Enjoy fledgling season and the adorable antics of young crows.
Note on all the above: Iā€™m not an expert or professional rehabilitator, but I have been observing crows and learning about them for a long time, and have experience contacting wildlife rehabilitation centres regarding crows. All this info is collated from experience and professional websites Iā€™ve looked up over the years. In the chance you see something that needs correcting or that I missed, please let me know!

Rick generously shared his bot, expertise, and time. Since then, he has continued to enhance the utility of $MOON, increasing its accessibility and relevance.
Personally, I believe Rick played a crucial role in saving the $MOON project, and will continue to be someone we can depend on.
Working with Rick
I have the privilege of moderating alongside Rick in another subreddit, and I can personally attest to his exceptional work ethic, which stems from a strong set of personal values. His discipline and integrity are matched only by his wit and kindness. He's the kind of guy you want around when times are good or when it hits the fan.
Rick is battle-tested and proven in leadershipā€”truly a champion.

2024.05.13 22:21 Eastern_Hedgehog_924 Advice for a newcomer to the hobby

Hello everyone, I would love some advise on choosing my first radio(s)
I hear a lot of times this question is followed by many comments asking for clarificarion, what the person wants to do with the radio so I will also provide some context in advance.
I am new to the hobby literally just got the eamil I have passed my exam.
So now I need to chose my callsign and... ...buy some gear.
Just to start with a bit of context.
What got me into the hobby is my Malahit SDP2 (the chinese version with the russian software) I got one of those receivers earlier this year and found it absolutley fascinating that I can hear signals transmitted thousands of kilometers away I love the waterfall. I also have two Tecsuns, they are lovley radios too there is also something about browsing the frequencies without having waterfall and a visual representation of the signals activity. With the Tecsuns it reminds me a bit of fishing, you are not really sure what will come out when. After listening for a while I started to think I would like to transmit not only listen and this is how I started studying. And now I have my licnese class A in Denmark. (Not sure what is the FCC equvalent. I can operate on all ham bands on most up to 1kW on commercial homemade or modified equipment )
I am not sure that I know what are all the things I can do with ham radio therefore I am not sure what I want to focus on and that does not really help me with choosing gear.
I would like to hear any pointers on which directions the hobby can genrally take me. And maybe this will helpe me figure out what gear I should get.
Personally I am fascinated by long distance contacts. Also the satelites sound exciting, not data but accessing the satelite repeaters and eventually talking to ISS (I understand that it is very low probability that an astrounaut will actually be free and available for contact at the exact small window of time in which I reach the ISS but still fascinating even with low probability)
What does not seem a direction I would like to take is CW i do not believe I can ever learn it. Or at least I do not believe I can enjoy learning it.
(That said I could be interested in any options for software code decode morese from to text not sure if such exist )
FT8 sounds interesting but I am not really crazy about using a laptop in my leasure (i would rather hope to get myself away from laptop screens, i do stare enough at them during my workday)
If location matter for the radio activity around me / within reach, am located in Denmark.
I am interested in experimenting with building my own antennas.
Also along with the radios what else I might need? Tuners? Are the build in tuners good enough or an external one wpuld be able to tune wider range of mismatch?
I believe i will be mainly using my radio indoors from my basement but might be interested once in a while in taking my radios out and listen / transmit from the outdoors. So I guess any tips on batteries are welcome too.
There are a couple of set ups I consider and would like to hear your opinion on what would be advantages disatvantages and also what are some differences that won't make any difference for a non expert like myslef.
Considered options ftdx10 and a separate VHF/UHF radio Vs one radio like 991 or 7100
I guess if I go with a separate VHF/UHF radio I will be missing out on ssb (not really sure if there is much ssb activity on those two bands )
Seems like 991 or 7100 would be the logical choices as they offer widest rande of bands / modes but my concerns is both are older models compared to the ftdx 10 which seems to have much better user experience in anvigating and accessing of all the menues and settings.
There is also the matter of d-star and fusion... Maybe orher standards too... None of the radios above have dmr if I am not mistaken? So I probably need to get one to listen on dmr repeaters?
Yeah I am really uncertain what to buy so that I won't regret after a while. And be in a situation where I would be saying: 'I wish I bouth rhis other radio because of this or that...'
Thank you in advance.

2024.05.13 22:21 BinningtonFux50 Looking for Photo Editing Expert (Tip)

Hello.
I have a unique request for someone to spend a bit of time helping me identify the edits someone made within 5-7 photos, likely using FaceTune. I prefer to share additional details in DM.
Essentially, I would like to pay someone to take these 5-7 different photos, use whatever photo editing skills or software to identify the edits. I have confirmed there are edits by using Markup on Mac, and adjusting various details like Exposure, Contrast, etc..But it does not suffice.
The final ideal outcome is a un-deniable evidence of photo edits, clearly showed via your software or editing skills.
I will provide direction on where I think the edits are, and I will pay for your time and skill.
Hopefully this is ok on this forum, and please comment / DM if interested.
Thanks

2024.05.13 21:47 countmoya First time live poker (WSOP). Have some questions.

Hey guys!
So Iā€™m going to play 2 events in WSOP this year. One of them is Mystery Million, other I have not decided yet.
About me- Iā€™m actually a recreational player who mostly plays cash games online. I have a full time job in quant Econ research and poker is more like of a hobby.
I have never played poker live apart from playing against my friends in home games. I wanted to go to WSOP, experience what is it like. I had a few questions-
These questions might sound very stupid & naive but donā€™t judge me please.
1) Iā€™m not an American national. What proof of identity I need? I donā€™t want to carry my passport with me all the time (I once lost it in the past). Any other ID of my country works?
2) Once you finish the day, you take the chips with you home or you have to give them to casino officials & collect the next day?
3) Is it okay to ask for your opponentsā€™ stack size? Or is it your job to keep track? Can they refuse to tell the stack size?
3) I know throwing one chip means call. But if I have to re raise an initial bet of 1000 to letā€™s say 4500, do I have to say it out loud that Iā€™m raising to 4500 or itā€™s the dealer or opponents job to check it?
4) Is it cold inside the poker room? Do I need a jacket or sth? Every time I see people play itā€™s like theyā€™re playing in a very cold place.
5) Any other tips you may want to give except fold pre?
6) Anyone whoā€™s gonna be there wants to hang out hmu.
Thanks a lot everyone!

2024.05.13 21:16 Robinsonirish NBC if you want to win over our hearts the product needs to change. Bring back player intros, stop shoving gambling down our throats during games and run less commericals.

Commercials
Commercials. Commercials. 2 minute of SAS/Perkins. Commercials. Straight into tip-off. There is a massive difference between TNT and ESPN's half-time show, both in length and quality. The quality of Inside the NBA might be hard to replicate, but at least don't take after ESPN and run constant commercials.
Gambling
Watching the first quarter of game 2 between NYK-IND the other night, Kenny and Charles were promoting gambling in the middle of a game.
They minimized the game and had a small video in the feed of them. They spoke about spreads, something about Brunson scoring over or under 50pts in this game. Go ahead, place that bet guys.
I know it's not the first time they've promoted gambling while the game is going on but it's still shocking. It's one thing to see it on a jersey, on the floor or in a commercial between the games... but seeing it during the game from Kenny and Charles just makes me so sick to my stomach.
NBA player intros
We haven't seen players intro in around 10 years. I'm not sure exactly what year they stopped, but it was around 2014-16 or so. You might think; "Surely they run them during the finals right?" No and they haven't in ages, all in the name of greed.
The youngins' don't know what they're missing. So much hype comes out of those player intros. You get pumped up and they're incredibly important for the fans at home to get into the game. So many fun memories have been created because of the player intros. Jordan and Alan Parsons Project, Heatles and Seven Nation Army, Pistons and The Final Countdown are permanently linked for a lot of people.
97' Bulls intro
2005 Pistons intro
2008 Celtics intro
2013 HEAT intro
NBA your product is slipping and it's all in the name of greed. NBC please right these wrongs.
