Ley lines. Hey, they’re real!

Also, the idea that somewhere there is a species that’s just unquestionably, irredeemably evil. Trek has toyed with the notion before (Hi, Armus!), but this feels like a Pandora’s box moment if they stick with it.

Also also, why did all the scifi of the finale feel like it was streamlined to make space for a Harry Potter wizard battle?

It’s the first Trek show that I have no desire to rewatch. Especially the s3 finale had me ready to just jump ship.

And it’s not the fault of the cast or directors, people on set running around to make things go brrr. It’s the decision from above that SNW’s sole purpose is apparently to set up a) TOS (and messing up what we thought we knew about, say, the Gorn in the process), and b) another show with Kirk, Spock and the gang which will also setup TOS.

We get it, Akiva Goldman & co have a big, collective fetish for TOS, but could we please let SNW be its own thing…?

It’s just the inevitable exploitation of any word that van be randomly put next to “economy”. It’s a bullshit con is why.

“Meme coin” 💀

Engage the core.

No, no. Don’t you dare go to warp on a workout joke!

That’s fair. Similar situations, different conclusions 🙂

I had similar plans, but I opted for a seedbox instead. It gives me some peace of mind not torrenting on my own IP.

Don’t worry, most of us won’t. It’ll trickle down through abstraction layers from CLW level work to us end users eventually 🙂

You said it yourself — you’re new to self hosting, and CasaOS fits what you want to host. As a starting point for getting rid of hosted services, go with that for a start.

Sure, you won’t immediately be getting your hands dirty mucking about with dockers and stuff, but you will have your working home server. For learning and experimentation, I second @[email protected]’s plan B — use another machine to test building the same setup on a base Linux system.

If you’re like me you probably have an old laptop lying around that wouldn’t be great as an always up, day to day server, but as a testing environment to mess around with docker containers it should be fine?

I use Baïkal on a no-frills webhost. It’s been running for years without problems.

That, and she doesn’t still wear the Bajoran nose ridge prosthetic…

For sure! That’s why I hope this book opens more conversations with Sirtis and others about their experience, whether it’ll be in a Visitor-penned sequel or elsewhere.

Specifically Sirtis would be interesting, because she so definitely was put in the “female box”, while her real (or convention appearance) persona is much fuller — and outspoken than the often docile role she played.

Sounds like the publisher approached her to do a coffee table fluff book, and then she added her own critical feminist special sauce 🌶️🌶️🌶️

Ooh, now I want to read the stuff that didn’t make it into the book, and the interviews that never got made for different reasons. How many copies do each of us need to buy for a sequel to be commissioned?

Shocker! Good for them, course literature costs a literal fortune.

30% self-congratulatory talk about how popular bluesky is this week.

TBF, Mastodon was the same when I joined. I just muted all mention of “mastodon” + variations, Bob’s your uncle. Navel gazing meta discourse is the least exciting updates on any platform.

It is still funny to visit random egg profiles on there and see they only tooted once, two years ago, saying “so this is mastodon, wonder how this works” and then never again.

This. Any open website with the notification service described in OP is a potential anti-piracy honeypot. And if setting up RSS feeds is too complex, how is it any more so to wait for a ping and then manually download the film?

So fork the latest enshittifree release, setup your own web app, pretend nothing has changed?

Ah yes, the toolchain changes appear to be a stumbling stone for the Fennec devs as well. That kind of thing doesn’t exactly speed up new releases, I’m sure.

What are your experiences with Mull? Is it generally compatible with Firefox plugins, and are there performance improvements as well as in security?

I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes:

• Just install it in parallel with the mainline app,
• export your existing configuration to the default storage location,
• import it in syncthing-fork (it’ll detect the export file automatically),
• and you’re done. Uninstall the official app so they don’t compete for the daemon and port.
