- Comment on 2nd Work Interview Meeting 3 months ago:
I once had the different recruiters contact me within a month for the same job. Client wanted a unicorn, and kept switching recruiting firms. Wasn’t worth the effort I put in between the three recruiters, but your mileage may vary…

You go to the season post to get an overview and general feel for the season, plus any and all questions or fan theories are welcome.
Individual pages so you can talk in depth about an episode or post questions as you watch, with spoiler free answers.
I wouldn’t do the four discussion threads, but that’s just me trying to cut out redundancy. If others like breaking it up, hell, I’ll give it a try. But i mostly watch Star Trek with the wiki and/or Reddit page up so i can look up trivia and actors i recognize, so one post per episode and a megathread for the season are right up my ally.

I’d go back, put my feet on the desk and collect a little walkin around money, basically daring them to fire me again…
- Comment on Microsoft shows another Bing popup advertisement to Windows users - gHacks Tech News 8 months ago:
I have a laptop with Win 11 installed as default, and dear gods is it exhausting to work with. Right-click has been neutered to the point where I have to click “extra-options” every ducking time because they moved the options I actually need behind another damn click.
If Microsoft would take a lesson from the failure of Clippy, and stop trying to “help me” (jerk off motion) I might stick with it. But as it is, and as it’s going, they are trying to tablet-ify the UX to the point it’s useless on desktop (why the fuck do I have to dismiss a blank screen in order to actually input my password when logging in?!).
Once I get the important files transferred out, it’s Linux baby!
- Comment on YouTube is revamping its TV app to make videos feel way more interactive 8 months ago:
And yet, my YouTube app has to be force closed at least once a day because they just can’t seem to get their shit together…
Dear YouTube/Google/Alphabet/what-the-fuck-ever, GET YOUR APP SORTED FIRST! THEN TRY ADDING FEATURES!?

Therapy helps, but not enough for me to continue the cycle.
- Comment on Schools in America apparently have their own army recruiter 8 months ago:
When i was in high school 2003, my physics class devoted an entire period to a military recruiter… Sufficed to say, only the redneck kids were interested.
- Comment on What are your favorite tools for monitoring Linux and individual docker containers? 9 months ago:
Portainer for docker stuff; CasaOS for RAM, CPU usage, disk drive monitoring, samba shares.
Casa also lets you access the file system, so when jellyfin fails to clear transcodes, I can go in with the web interface and delete the folder.
- Comment on What game fits this? 9 months ago:
Longest I’ve ever gotten was 1114 cycles, and I haven’t won yet either. You don’t win, you just do better each time…
- Comment on What game fits this? 9 months ago:
I tell people it’s the funnest game you’ll ever hate. It’s cathartic as hell when everything is running smoothly, but it just takes one little bump to throw everything off.
- Comment on What game fits this? 9 months ago:
I’ve put in over 2,700 hours into Oxygen Not Included, so that’s my vote.
- Comment on When people talk about returning the cart after shopping, does that include putting it in a corral, or do you have to take it all the way to the front of the store to be a good person? 9 months ago:
As an introvert, doing a “cart run” was my temporary reprieve from the horrors of retail.

Start?
- Comment on Commercials Are Streaming’s New Norm, and Creators Aren’t Happy: “It’s Almost Worse Than Broadcast” 9 months ago:
And with streaming, you’re not locked into a 42-47 minute long episode either, so are some episodes going to have more, or is there someone with a stop watch going “this seems like a good place for an ad break”?
- Comment on YSK: Indeed and other job sites are saturated with scams 9 months ago:
Mine was “Lone Pine Village Company”
Offer was through LinkedIn, and they sent me a “you’ve been selected” email. The interview process was going to be over email 🚩, through some guy that wasn’t cc’d on the email 🚩, and had a first.last12345@Gmail.com style email address 🚩.
When i started looking into it, the job posting was removed 🚩, the company page no longer exists🚩, and the only links in the email were the email address to some Gmail address 🚩, no company website even through Duck Duck🚩.
Duck scammers, I just want a job, a ducking purpose other than “purchase product, consume content”.
- Comment on Do you configure your servarr docker containers from one docker-compose file, or individual ones? 11 months ago:
Same.
Jellyfin, Audiobookshelf, kavita = Media stack
Arr suite, Vpn, BitTorrent = Pirate stack

I want a mod that makes it a little easier to get to the logistics robots faster, but without a complete overhaul, the extensive mods are too much for me…m

- Comment on Open hardware single board computer server recommendations? 1 year ago:
I can second the Zimaboard. I’ve got two HDDs hooked up to the SATA ports, and grabbed a cheap PCIE SATA daughter card for the SSDs.
I also used a PC power supply to run 12v to the board, and i use the built in SATA power cables. Look up “how to use pc psu as power supply”, it’ll tell you how to get it running without a motherboard.
Here’s my setup: PC case network setup
- Comment on Reddit abandons user privacy - Ars Technica 1 year ago:
Personalized ads would be fine if it had a checklist or tag/category feature. This is straight up data mining.

Great, another holodeck episode…
- Comment on Plex will be blocking access from at least VPS provider 1 year ago:
Yup, as soon as they started the mandatory login bullshit, I bounced. Companies keep adding this “feature” as a way to control your stuff: Doom on Switch, Halo Master Chief edition, nvidia, my fucking mouse(!?); all need a login for no other reason than to add a point of failure/killswitch.
