Q The Misanthrope

Honestly it’s a movie about stuff and occasionally has some star trek sounds and maybe some music once in a while.

It has very little that makes it star trek in any sense.

The equivalent is Ford 150 branded deodorant stick. It’s technically labeled as if it has something to do with Ford trucks, but it’s deodorant for your arm pits.

Add all the other issues with the movie on top of this starting point.

The comments on that article are really strange.

Maybe I’m just not that familiar with how new trek is made, but is this a good thing for trek or more Section 31 stuff?

Stadia was the last straw for me. I kept my pixel phone but I replaced and ripped so much Google out of my life.

I replaced my nest cameras, and my Google wifi router. I ditched my Google home speakers and displays. Migrated everything from gmail except for Google related garbage. Unsubscribed from Google one. And no more books Google play. No movies or TV’s on Google play either.

And lastly I use duck duck go as my primary search.

A lot of time and money but my spite knows no bounds apparently.

I agree the end of a series can feel a little draining as the stories conclude. I get that way with books too.

Lots of rewatches of the trek series, and I do skip ones that are boring to me, sometimes I just follow main story arc with ent and voy, but there are some really good bottle episodes that I miss that way.

If it feels like work to watch an episode, then I skip it. Sometimes it’s the topic, or my mood, or life.

Enjoy tng again!

My server is exactly as I need. Basically 1 year old now. This year I really want to do vlans to control the network more than an off the shelf router. I work in tech and still am struggling because all I know is meraki bullshit and that’s not priced for the typical home user.

I’ll need a few AP’s and a switch and firewall. I don’t know what to get or what to buy and each research session ends with more options than I started with. Anyway that’s my goal. I’ll get there eventually.

I get that it’s always been like that, it just shouldn’t be. Whether you believe it’s okay or not is totally an opinion and it’s fine. I’ve used sync alone for as long as it’s been around basically.

Just switched recently to Thunder. It’s a bit slower but has a lot of options. Its working fine… And this is from a person who has been many times over the years and is currently paying for sync.

Sync is more reddit than reddit was. And is my Lemmy experience up until a few days ago.

I’m sure it’ll be fun and I’m always glad to have more trek.

Two things concern me, first every person we’ve met previously from section 31 has been an asshole. Intentional writing to make them them an organization working against the ideals of the federation. Will that make it harder for me to like the characters or their missions? I am unsure if I want to relate better to them.

The second is that universe ending stuff has little emotional impact on me, it’s unimaginable to me especially with the CGI required to visualize it. Episodes always hits me harder when it’s a planet, a species, a special person or some mystery to be discovered.

Low heat alone will help a ton like you said, high heat seems to ruin everything and it’s just not needed unless unless it’s towels maybe.

I knew that fabric softener would stop towel absorption but I never thought about dryer sheets too. I thought those were just antistatic.

Also the “deli sites” typo made me laugh.

DON’T DATE ROBOTS!

As a child, the house we grew up in had a very large tree in our back yard. I had a memory of burying some skeleton keys near it but couldn’t remember where. The house was old enough that we’d find skeleton keys occasionally and also as a kid they are special.

I searched for days, weeks, months… Digging holes all over the yard and under the tree. I recruited neighborhood kids and friends.

For two summers we searched for buried treasure. Never found them. Might have been a dream I had of burying the keys. I still think about it occasionally and wonder. The tree is long gone and the truth is I’ll never know for sure.

This is an incredible write up and I thoroughly enjoyed reading it.

I’ve used both platforms, and had fun with both. I barely use either for posting though, and more for trying to follow topics I like, as I do on Lemmy.

Anything to stop ending my Google searches in “reddit”.

Oh, you’ll know.

I’m not a fan of campy, I love the gritty haunted bond we had with Craig.

Austin powers is fun but it’s not interesting (to me).

I grew up starting with GoldenEye which was a strange movie, a little corniness but serious stuff too. I enjoyed the transition to a more serious bond from Brosnans.

They are sata drives.

Seagate Exos X16. 6 of them refurb is still $800.

The case is hot swap with just an hba connection so I can let zfs do it’s thing.

I don’t see “screwed the pooch” used much but it always is funny to me.

I was limited by the processor and some existing ram which basically dictated my purchases to save money.

You’re completely right though, a more modern system would be similar in price and more capable.

I blew my budget on drives and a hot swap case. The rest is easy to upgrade when the time comes.

I purchased a case, SilverStone Technology CS382 8-Bay. Around $200-225.

Bought used parts off eBay:

Asus P8Z77-M LGA 1155 DDR3 SDRAM Desktop Motherboard $75

32GB DDR3 1333 $35

LSI 6Gbps SAS HBA 9200-81 IT Mode P20 $35

Nvidia Quadro P620 2GB GDDR5 4x mini DisplayPort $70

I have six 12tb drives (seagate exos), purchased refurb from serverpartdeals.com and had great luck with them and their support. I found that on Reddit data hoarder sub.

I run Truenas. 4 drives for primary. 2 drives for backup of the first 4. And I have a qnap 4 bay dumb raid box for a third backup with old drives I had. My paranoia but not related really to the nas.

Anyway it’s possible and I enjoy what I built. Also that case is loud, get a fan controller too.

Feels like it doesn’t it? I enjoyed taking apart and fixing the family computer as a kid but it was also out of necessity. If it wasn’t me? Then who else would or could?

I’m still trying to decide if it’s a “when I was a kid I used to clean my own carburetor” situation. Like, is it a “back in my day men were men and we fixed our computers by hand”, or more so, there’s just not a need to dig into computers unless you enjoy it like any other hobby.

I know all the reasons I should be on Firefox, but I just love Vivaldi so much.

I’ve been using it for years and have it tuned perfectly for anything I do. It’s feature rich, and fast.

Occasionally there are apps or even tools in life where you are like holy shit, this is exactly made for how I want to do a task/job.

My gestures are so ingrained in me, sometimes I catch my hand moving the mouse to perform an action in another unrelated app. My brain notices instantly but can’t stop my hand from trying to do it anyway. It makes me laugh.

I try to always remember People, process and product. PPP. It helps remind me that the people are just like you and I, families and waking up each day to do a job. It’s so easy for things to fall apart when there aren’t the right tools or processes in place. My failures individually or as a team never left someone in outer space but I’ve had some doozies in my career.

This isn’t addressing your comment but I guess it was on my mind. I do know that the majority of people want to do their best and I feel bad for them and those affected by a company’s poor decisions.
