Q The Misanthrope

I have watched all of trek except TOS (just a few famous episodes only).

I just couldn’t get into this show and that’s okay, I don’t need to love every show. Sad to see less Trek as there should be Trek for every type of audience but if they are cancelling then I’m guessing the show didn’t find its mark with people.

I don’t know how to appeal to younger audiences, there are people smarter than me to figure that out but I hope to have a trek for me again someday.

Agreed and his personality takes over the story which works for men in black but I don’t think it would for the matrix.

Basically the same character in all those movies. Not a criticism but it’s the same dude. Neo is not a bad ass running down a cephalopod. He’s learning and adapting to a system and using his mind. I just dont see it working out as well as he is a front man, not a team. He takes over the story with personality.

That has some really insightful advice and even something I hadn’t considered. They mentioned that with enough users, even bugs become features that are used. People rely on the way a system works, whether it was intentional or not and maintenance could mean disruption.

I am not a dev but I am in IT and think quite a few of these ideas could be applied outside of code.

I am glad the crew didn’t just go on a zombie shooting spree, but all that did was make the Klingons do it instead. Wish we could have seen them save the zombies or at least tell us they’ll work with the Klingons to do something about the planet or put a new warning message, etc. if they are made of moss why do they explode with blood when shot?

The flowers were cool.

I think what I’m missing was some depth, all this stuff happened but not really full explanations for things that aren’t intended to be mysteries.

Let the doctor be a doctor without him having to also be a superhero imo

I’m not trying to pick the whole episode apart but it was also confusing we didn’t know where they were in the building fully, it was hard to follow. They were in what felt like basement then suddenly on the roof of a tall building.

Or Microsoft who randomly needs to verify someone’s identity before they can log into.tgeir computer but the user doesn’t have a smart phone. So they need to call someone trusted to have them log into their email from a different computer just to get the code so the user can log into their computer.

But that also means they didn’t have access to any saved passwords so a notebook helps.

I really should put Linux on her machine but then I have to show her how to do that too. It’s a lose-lose so I keep it the same.

I miss local accounts.

I kind of am, but radarr has an editions field which it uses for the file and that seems to be incomplete or inconsistent for my files. It wasn’t a problem before but changing so many at once requires good data first.

Thanks for the tip. I’ve used Plex for so long with manual file name and folder changes so it covered up my issue and now I’m correcting it.

I still have to update the jellyfin title manually though. Jellyfins versions only work with multiple versions of the same file, not if you only have one version in the library that I want labeled as a special edition or something.

I understand. I have converted fully to JF which required people to get onn players, and tunnel into my network and it was a lot of work on my end too.

Do what works for you and them.

Congrats. I’m super particular about covers and naming and the conversion of file names that Plex needed to jellyfin is intensive.

I finally got got JF up and running but still working on adding edition names to each item that is special. I really wish there was an editions field so it wasn’t a manual title update. At least I can lock the field afterwards.

Disks that can fail. I can lose 2 and be okay. That gives me time to swap in my spare or order a new one. For a home user imo 2 drive redundancy is plenty but 3 for a 6 drive mirror was too much. These things aren’t cheap!

I switched to raid z2 from a 6 drive mirror and what an ordeal that was. It’s because I had to grow into it and buy drives over time but eventually the mirror was too inefficient.

I moved data around like 5 times all because I still didn’t have enough disks to build my new array and keep my data on the system at the same time. And expanding raidz expands parity on all disks but not the data so you have to recopy all your data so it stripes fully.

I had a backup on a DAS but USB is slow and I didn’t want to have it be the only copy.

Edit: clarifying my point. I have no regrets. ZFS is awesome. But make the important decisions up front and yes start with the right amount of drives that you need. My whole issue was growing into it and having to make changes after the fact.

I love Truenas so much. I’m growing into its capabilities every day.

I bought an IT Mode flashed hba on eBay for like $40. Fanless, and easy. Make sure it comes with the cables or buy those separately but don’t forget them.

“We innocent” was cropped out and I kinda liked how it originally said I’m innocent but they changed it to We Innocent.

“Grow the fediverse!”

But also “not you or that or this.”

I dislike seeing the negative votes. Just let people do their their thing and either join it or don’t.

This is not a rebuttal, I agree with everything you are saying, and i’d like to make a point.

Some would say these events are caused by their savior/Messiah. I think that adds to the hope that an alternative singular person would step up to “save” everyone.

A lot of valid reasons for the price to be high but that’s still a lot of money. $80 for a game hurts. It went from a must buy early this year when I heard about it to ehh… Maybe I’ll see what happens first.

They’ve been in the news daily with issues, Financial and otherwise. The sudden rush of people now just slows it all down.

I am glad I signed up yeas ago though, it was a hopeful time when I assumed technology would help fix us, and give us answers, and help me know things no humans before us could know.

Half the crap I downloaded from them is meaningless. Family tree is proprietary, and everything else is in formats I don’t know what to do with. Not like I’ll upload it again but it’s just files I have with no purpose now.

This meme made me gasp loud enough that my girlfriend was worried something was wrong.

Then I had to explain that I’m 41 years old and was just shocked by a dinosaur fact.

This comment is for a very niche audience but Lieutenant Malcolm Reed would enjoy this meme and also the pineapple.
