- Comment on How should one access their servers when in China if at all? 3 days ago:
To be honest: After visiting both the US and China I was way more concerned after my US visit that my phone may have been compromised.
Using a VPN was no problem for me in China, but it has been a few years since I’ve been there.
- Comment on Where to start? 5 days ago:
There are several guides on what episode can / should / mustn’t be skipped.
Let’s watch Star Trek has it for every classic show: www.letswatchstartrek.com/tng-episode-guide/
But there are of course other guides and as they’re subjective ratings you might want to give episodes a chance even if others didn’t like them.
- Comment on Where to start? 6 days ago:
My main advice is: Don’t be afraid to skip an episode if you watch it and you don’t like it. Especially the early seasons of TNG, DS9 and Voyager have some episodes which can easily be skipped. You won’t lose any context.
- Comment on Episode Discussion | Star Trek: Lower Decks | 5x01 "Dos Cerritos" & 5x02 "Shades of Green" 3 weeks ago:
Who said they were contacted by Starfleet? They could have known about his opportunity by any means and were just the first to take it? A normal thing for a free looting based economy…

They are hiring them to handle the disposition of unneeded tokens of currency. I don’t see how that violates the prime directive…

- Comment on Theory: The EMH in "Academy" is going to be the copy from "Living Witness" 2 months ago:
Are the two of them so different that it would matter?
- Comment on What are some video games that you would show up to a local tournament for? 2 months ago:
Quake 3 Arena, but only if the tournament lasts no longer than 15 minutes. My heart can’t take more…
- Comment on Balatro: Friends of Jimbo – Reveal Trailer 2 months ago:
I have to disagree. I don’t think the joker does look like either Neuschwanstein or Hitler’s painting of Neuschwanstein.
Nonetheless I agree that the artworks shown in the trailer are great.
- Comment on What are some game series you would like to see revived? And if possible, which entry should the new game follow from? 2 months ago:
Transport Tycoon Deluxe
Of course there is always OpenTTD, which has by far exceeded the original, but I would just like to see a modern game (not necessarily in terms of graphics) with the same vibe. Transport Fever and all the other variants never quite achieved the same depth and complexity.
- Comment on What stick should I get? 2 months ago:
So…get him this stick. It even says in the product pictures: Perfect Gift For All Ages I suspect your brother is of any age so it fits.
- Comment on What's the oldest game anyone here has played in 2024? 2 months ago:
Commander Keen (1990) on Steam
- Comment on What’s a game you can 100% without hating by the end? 2 months ago:
The last game I did 100% was Psychonauts 2. I loved the world and after playing the fantastic story it was a good reason to spend some extra hours revisiting the levels.

- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 3 months ago:
I think you have realized that every comment here was about your decision not to use Git. I don’t think there is much more to say about this…
- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 3 months ago:
You don’t have to. Absolutely not.
But: As a potential user it provides some additional features your solution lacks. I can easily fork or clone your repo and change things if I need to. If I think it benefits the project I can easily offer these changes back to you, if I don’t I can still profit from future development on your side and incorporate my changes into it. I can very easily check what has changed between two versions without relying (trusting) your changelogs or performing a manual diff.
But most importantly it is a matter of trust. Not so much trust in your intentions and the possibility of malicious code (Git won’t prevent that), but it obfuscates your code unnecessarily making it harder to continue if you at some point decide to stop maintaining it or even detect vulnerabilities as it is not easily accessible without knowing where to look for it.
- Comment on My homelab had the stupidest outage ever 3 months ago:
Some BIOS manufacturers allow you to disable all halts on errors. As soon as you connect to the network your system should be able to sync its internal clock.
- Comment on tupd 0.6 - small bugfix 3 months ago:
I like the idea, but may I ask why you don’t use a version control system like Git (or anything else that fits your needs)?
- Comment on Day 10 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I’ve been playing until I forget to post Screenshots 3 months ago:
No. The only screenshots in my steam library are of some glitches I took screenshots of because it looked funny. And at some point I had a script running in Counterstrike that took screenshots of the game results.

How come that you kept all these screenshots?

- Comment on is it possible to host a small instance on your pc without renting anything? 3 months ago:
I think the real question is not if it’s possible (it is), but what you are actually trying to achieve. It seems like you have this idea, but I’m not sure if you really understand what it means. Maybe you can describe, why you want to host a Lemmy instance yourself…

- Comment on Why fed ship do not have dedicate landing team, but send bridge crew on dangerous mission ? 4 months ago:
Because the crew sees itself as researchers, scientists and diplomats. There is no reason to have a hazard team. We can assume that the encounters we see on screen are only the unusual ones…

- Comment on Elden Ring – Patch Notes Version 1.12 4 months ago:
Their engine clearly has problems with large enemys and yet the game mostly consists of large and ultra large enemys. What did you expect?
