Fashtas

Have the same thing in Australia. Not passport but I returned after years overseas and I think I was applying for a tax file number (or bank account, or both!)

I was just really lucky my father had an old family friend who wss a teacher to sign the paperwork

Frankly, I think that given the scenario, pre-positioning a tank in that situation probably demonstrates a considerable amount of foresight.

That sounds SUSPICIOUSLY like something a JAG defense lawyer might say

That plane was an art exhibit wasn't it? Something, something, the primitive versus the modern?

Dozens, and many over the belt too!

Can't have children anymore though :/

It happens here all the time (Killing animals on unattended properties, Australia)

Sometimes the owner doesn't even LIVE on the property where the animals are, and the butcher comes down with "third gate on the right, the one with the two trees, we want the two pigs next the the barn done" written on a post-it note.

Personally we've NEVER allowed any animals killed on the property without us being there but it's not unusual.

Few steps missing, the squirming, the unexpected discovery it is twice the weight you thought it was, the pointy hooves and contact with various fleshy parts of your anatomy and catching the bloody thing in the first place.

Honestly from a lamb-over-the-wall perspective this is very much "draw the rest of the owl"

I stufferd a store in for my players to shop (Foundry) because it had been a while, and just grabbed a pre-built one and tossed it in...

they spent the night planning and implementing a massive heist because one item cost too much for them to afford and they wanted it..... I had NOTHING for this (half the players beliefs on the shopkeeper, how they worked and how they could be robbed was based on some crappy random generated name and they had made "assumptions"...)

Found out later they thought I planned it all

“trying to be gritty and shocking”.

Yeah that was our take away. Overly gory, very little of the humor from the game. My wife abandoned it after 3/4 an episode (too much gratuitous violence for her) and I probably wont both with the rest

If you love that sort of hard core violence graphically depicted, with imaginative effects such as pushing a gun into someones head, and then shooting a hole through that (briefly) still live persons head, killing a few more people this may be your cup of tea.

Is something like this difficult to set up?

I grabbed a Linux Mint install, and followed this guide to install Plex on it

It is a "desktop" install, really I know you don't NEED a GUI yadayada, but it was very easy and got my foot in the door of Linux. It's worked well for me, faster than the older Windows install

because her hobby was Taylor Swift.

What on earth does THAT mean?

I case anyone is interested, I have Plex up and running now and wife is happy, some feedback on how it went

Why it went:

• I needed to install Plex specifically, because all the set-top boxes we use support plex but are fairly locked down. Wife likes their interface and remote control and doesn't want to change (they are simple to use< Australia Telstra boxes, all free)
• I choose Mint, I thought I'd prefer a GUI to make the install easier and also wanted to see what Linux desktops were like these days

How it went

• Install was trivial when I chose "simple" - I tried advanced to format the two drives I had (which were messy with many partitions I wanted blown away), but when I tried one method it told me I had a Boot drive but no NIF or NEF drive (or something) in order to boot - when I told it to install that type (Found it in the list) it told me I had no boot drive now (Online help for Mint install on Mint web site was out of date and the GUI didn't match what I saw - a common theme - so made it harder) - Gave up, choose SIMPLE. No idea what it installed but it worked
• Lot more raw command line that you'd expect from a GUI, In fact not sure the GUI does anything at all. I used the command line commands for almost the entire install
• The Networking failed and was as bad as Windows off the bat. HOWEVER fixing any networking issues was much easier than windows (I still have network issues in my windows machines from 5 years ago, never could fix them) but the two issues I had with Mint, (1) plex could not be seen (answer: ufw opened one port) and (2) Windows could not see and share a Mint drive (answer: Samba installed with one line and permission set on a folder) were fixed in a few minutes
• Man you can trash your OS with one command! Reinstalled once because I did a chown on the wrong folder and gave plex the sole ownership of the entire drive whereupon nothing ran anymore!
• Much faster, better software generally, the trans-coding for videos seems better, the speed of the desktop "server" is faster and Plex is madly playing everything nice and clearly with great response time.
• Stuff changes a LOT between versions apparently- many suggestions online failed for me because the suggested folders or files no longer existed or had been moved or changed. Likewise Mints own sites screen shots doesn't match reality.
• People are confused a lot - One of the common issues is Plex cannot see the folders where your videos are, as Plex runs under its own user - The number of different methods people have used to get around this is outstanding! And every one is thumbed up as "the answer that solved my problems!" From changing the user Plex uses to root or other users that already have permissions, to adding plex ownership of folders or even changing permissions of the folders to either something safe, or just ROOT ROOT ROOT. It is hard to know what you should be doing (Even changing permissions there were apparently at many programs to use, not sure which was the right method... chown, setfacl, chmod (I know they are different, I glanced at the docs but with so much to learn it becomes a bit overwhelming and you just take the first suggestion and stick with it)

Edit: at any rate, works fine now ty all for suggestions. Now I am getting annoyed I don't have ALL the services running on the server and am starting to see what else I can run and how.. all without interrupting my wifes streaming of course!

I actually went back and had a look at a few of the top results and I have a feeling a lot were AI written Sandtraps. Several were very similar "Install your favorite Linux then "

Makes it had for a newbie who doesn't know what they don't know so can't ask the right question.

The Mint install works fine now, I made a lot of mistakes and took a while to get head around the folder structure and permissions but once I am more comfortable next time I'll try something a little more headless I think, though playing around I reckon I'd be happy with Mint as a daily machine (if only my job wasn't coding Windows apps :/)
