Q The Misanthrope

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.

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.

No chapstick but Eli uses cat oil and says it works the same way.

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.

Green olives?

I have no idea what this will taste like but I’m intrigued.

I rewatched it a few months ago. I enjoyed it again, it’s not mind blowing TV but it has interesting concepts, fun characters, and some good plots through all the seasons.

I liked it on my first watch and I liked it on my second watch.

Michael Emerson is great, he IS Finch to me.

Watch it, have fun, enjoy the quirky stuff and if you hate an episode, skip it and move on. There are enough episodes to keep the story going.

Pixelfed is federated and the app is pretty good. It’s an Instagram alternative. May be nice to have a designated spot for all your work.

At least for me, if I see something I like, I dig deeper to see what else they have.

Regardless of how you post now or in the future, thanks for sharing.

Where can I find more of your work? I checked your post history and could find no other social media or websites.

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.

I’m not qualified in any sense to speculate, and so that’s exactly what I’m going to do.

My first thought is that there is a configuration happening to bring it home which we already knew, and there is a bug or test tone that was activated and since no one writing the code is there, they just didn’t notice it is still running.

No one wants to be on the losing side. Not that this election is a sure thing, but people shift with the wind and then tell themselves they “called” it.

I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.

I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.

I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.

I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.

I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.

Agreed. I’m just glad no one is filming me when I’m working on things. It’s not that I can’t figure things out but it takes some trial and error.

I watch the channel with that in mind, he’s me in a sense … Trying to reforest 300 something acres. He seems like a smart guy though and making progress. It’s all cumulative work so it’ll pick up I’m sure after a year of growth.

I’ve been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

I hate it too, I need it and hate it. But it is the standard and honestly if we all switched to whatever else, we would hate that too. The mechanism isn’t the problem, imo, it’s the requirement of maintenance and monitoring.

Depending on how serious you want to take it. There is a website for stardew predictions, stardew checkup to help you know what’s missing, and a tool for planting to know when to harvest.

Lots of tools to plan.

I also keep a notepad open but I make notes. Important birthdays, which rarecrows I have, crop numbers and things needed, fish in looking for in particular seasons and weather.

I set my goals and work towards them.
