Yet the movies only got successful once they got a lot of the TV guys back for set design, wardrobe and makeup for the second movie.

I think the point of the invisible bridge was that you had to really believe it existed because only then you would later activate it.
But I agree: The whole logic of the place was a free pass for the writers to do what they wanted. So maybe it’s better not to look too close.
Also: Noone not even mentioning the weird background effects (they were obviously added in post so neither the writers nor the actors had the opportunity to really react to it) was big miss for me. It would have been the first thing I would try to scan with my boxy tricorder…

Spock calling La’An an excellent dance instruc-tor was a nice nod to his way of pronouncing certain ship instruments…
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x04 "A Space Adventure Hour" 1 week ago:
I’ve been thinking about this for a few days now and I think there is a big missed opportunity here. The holodeck prototype showed more of less the same errors holodecks still have 100 years later. They could have shown other faults and use that for a comment on the current AI development.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x04 "A Space Adventure Hour" 1 week ago:
It’s a bit anachronistic what happened with the holodeck here. It’s quite hard to believe that it took them about 100 hundred years to decide to install holodecks like the ones from this episode on starships again and they haven’t fixed any of the problems. Instead there are similar technologies in the animated series and even the holodecks on Enterprise D can’t do the same thing until the Binaries enhance them.
Nonetheless it was a solid episode and I’m glad they addressed the creeping trend in SNW for characters to do things on their own instead of relying on their colleagues…

M’benga will probably acquire some into gambling debts to pay all his ex-wives and therefore he will be demoted from chief medical officer under McCoy.

You are right that no one except Pike has interacted with her since the climax of episode 1. But there would be an empty seat at the wedding right next to him which would be odd…

Let’s be honest: Who else had forgotten about the Gorn cliffhanger?
I didn’t like the first episode very much. The Enterprise saves the Universe from some overpowering enemy all by themselves is too much of a trope for me. Also too many characters on the edge of dying, but nobody dies. Some story arks even culminate in the decision to just do nothing…

I didn’t know that. Maybe the world is in dire need of a RTX remaster for this game…

So we’re adding more advanced reflections to a game with characters most known for having no reflections…

I just spun an instance up using the docker compose file. I did disable the exposed ports for all the services except reitti itself. Is there a specific reason you keep them exposed?
- Comment on Trouble setting Let's Encrypt certificates for Pangolin 4 weeks ago:
The mail address is not the issue. You can enter any address you want there if you don’t care about Let’s Encrypt being able to reach you in case of problems (they won’t).
Don’t be afraid of the logs. You don’t have to read or understand every line of them. You have an issue with your certificate? Search for certificate and read the lines above and below to get clues what might have gone wrong.

Titanfall 2 is a great shooter and story game. Don’t bother with Titanfall 1 if you are only in for singleplayer as it is multiplayer only.

Although it is not officially supported you can do this: github.com/keepassxreboot/keepassxc/…/9591
I did it years ago (I would say 10+ years) and it works perfectly fine.
- Comment on Game design question : how to make a "trapped" player character? 3 months ago:
It made me think of indirect games like Black & White, Dungeon Keeper, The Settlers or The Sims. You can give orders but you cannot directly control your characters / units. If you limit the amount of orders, add a delay / the possibility for an interception or introduce areas where your orders can’t reach your hero it could do the trick.
- Comment on How to send backups on multiple location? 3 months ago:
I think what he means is that if your backup is triggered from your main server and your main server is compromised the backups can also be attacked immediately. If the backup is requested from the backup machine you will at least have the time between the attack and the next backup to prevent the attack from reaching your backup machines.

For me it was KitchenOwl. It’s shopping list works and looks similar to Bring, which we had used before and made the transition for my wife easier.
- Comment on Is it useful to create your own Mastodon instance? 3 months ago:
If you don’t plan on supporting this for at least a few years I would say no.
If you don’t expect to have a decent local userbase I would say no (local in the sense of a common interest, e.g. it might be useful to host an instance for all members of even a small company if you expect a decent amount of posts).
If it’s just you and your family (let’s be honest: it’s just you) I would say no.
The fediverse can federate, but if everyone is using their own server it’s just a fancy peer to peer network.

I also think it may be the browser not using the DNS provided by the router. This is often called Safe Browsing or Secure DNS in browser settings.

It does, but mostly because we’re talking about an enormous amount of data. The number being advertised is 2 Petabyte…
