And you used this technique in every one of them?
- Comment on can we now "safely" auto upgrade immich? 1 week ago:
Immich obviously does not follow semantic versioning when 2.0 is to be considered the first stable version.
- Comment on PuffPals: Island Skies, a cosy game that earned $2.5 million on Kickstarter, has been slammed with refund requests after its website and online store disappeared 2 weeks ago:
It is, but hear me out: There is a difference between failing with a reason and failing silently - and seemingly with no reason. I don’t know this project and I don’t know what happened and how the creators handled this, but I have been on Kickstarter since it came to life and I have seen projects with poor communication fail and everyone was furious and I have seen projects fail who managed to communicate their struggles to their investors very well and they didn’t get overrun with refund requests. I know it is hard to admit problems and finally failure, but it has to be part of the progress.
- Comment on Podcast Discussion | Star Trek: Khan | 1x01 "Paradise" 2 weeks ago:
I liked it. It was the perfect length to listen to and the voices are well cast and distinctive enough. The only thing I didn’t like was the intrusive (for a lack of a better word) music in some parts. As if they needed to further emphasize “this is the part where romance is supposed to happen”.
- Comment on Which open alternative apps list is the best? 4 weeks ago:
alternativeto.net is also my go-to resource because they have a good filtering system and are not solely focused on open source.
- Comment on Is there a self hosted version of Google Earth? 1 month ago:
There is Cesium. But the thing you actually need is the actual maps. There are free maps (many of them based on OpenStreetMap), but the fidelity you know from Google Earth is usually not free. Also if you also want to self-host the actual maps you need a tile server for that and lots of disk space because these tiles take up a lot of it…
- Comment on Why doesn't Star Trek use TrekLit for streaming shows? 1 month ago:
That might be cynical but it’s true. The fans who liked the book(s) will with a fair chance not like the adoption. So an amount of your hardcore fan base is already against you. The idea would only work if the book series has for some reason a (partially) different target audience than regular trek.

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.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x05 "Through the Lens of Time" 2 months ago:
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" 2 months 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" 2 months 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.

- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Strange New Worlds | 3x01 "Hegemony, Part II" & 3x02 "Wedding Bell Blues" 2 months ago:
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…

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 2 months 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.
