- Comment on Any Klingon speakers around who play Arc Raiders by chance? 1 week ago:
I am not a gamer these days and am unfamiliar with Arc Raiders, but if there’s any way to incorporate the Klingon death ritual when one of your squad goes down, that would probably be pretty epic

I can’t even do “vacation” Klingon lol. All I know is Qapla’ means “success!” and you call someone a petaQ when you want to insult them.

Fucking with and/or interfering with someone trying to bring their lost pet home is in the top 3 dick moves you can do as a human.

Literally the best thing you can do for your experience here is just start blocking any account that starts throwing out political labels at any other account.
- Comment on What is the difference between a managed switch and an unmanaged switch? 1 week ago:
An unmanaged switch is just a single plane where all ports are equal.
Managed switches (also sometimes known as “smart” switches) provide additional features on top of that. The most useful is VLANs (virtual LANs) which let you segregate traffic. Two ports on different VLANs share the same physical layer (layer 1) but are separated at the data link layer (layer 2).
Additionally, managed switches let you do things like disable/enable ports (for security, power savings, etc), enable port mirroring, and combine multiple ports into an aggregation group (e.g. bond four 1 Gb links into one 4 Gb link).

Also unclear on that. But what is clear is OP apparently expects everyone to re-make a funny meme that everyone in the world can understand because they have to make a mountain out of a molehill and lack the imagination necessary to fill in the bl*nks.

BOGO (Buy One, Get One [Free]) is a well-known term.

- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 weeks ago:
Which begs the question why not magnets at the top of the building to help pull the electricity up?
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 weeks ago:
Guess it depends on the height, but yeah. Otherwise, we manage to pump a town’s worth of water to the top of a tower well enough. From there, gravity can do the rest.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 weeks ago:
If the costs of engineering a tower is more than just buying more land, then why build taller?
Figured it’d be something like that. Explains why they get built out in the middle of nowhere since land is cheap.
- Comment on Is there a practical reason data centers have to sprawl outward instead of upward? 2 weeks ago:
Tall data centers do exist in cities where land is expensive.
Probably a bit of “hiding in plain sight” that way, too. There are a few big datacenters relatively near me, and they’re massive compounds in the middle of even more massive corn fields. Kind of stick out like a sore thumb when you’re driving by.

- Comment on Jellyfin Dongle 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, I don’t know about pre-installed with Android that aren’t ad platforms masquerading as consumer hardware. I’d never use one unless it was supported by LineageOS or something. My comment was more “roll your own” in nature.
- Comment on Jellyfin Dongle 2 weeks ago:
Maybe one of those HDMI “stick” PCs you can get? There’s x86 Android builds you can run or you can do like I did with my media PCs and boot into Openbox and just launch a fullscreen browser right to Jellyfin.
I’ve actually got a portable Jellyfin server I take with me. Built on the OrangePi Zero 2W with a USB->NVMe acting as media storage (as well as the Jellyfin DB).

- Comment on Shut up and take my money: A working (bluetooth) TNG Combadge 2 weeks ago:
Laptop-style speakers may be just enough. It would be tight and maybe the badge would have to be enlarged slightly to accommodate it, though.
I did a deep clean of my laptop not long ago and was surprised at how tiny and flat the speakers actually were. They won’t fill a room, but they’re enough for light music or a Teams call at arm’s length. Granted, it might not be good in a noisy area, but that would be a problem for the mic as well (not to mention public speakerphone use is kind of frowned on lol).
- Comment on Shut up and take my money: A working (bluetooth) TNG Combadge 2 weeks ago:
Would love to have one of those. Guess I’ll have to settle for 3D printing one and hacking up a Bluetooth headset/speaker to make it work.
- Comment on Shut up and take my money: A working (bluetooth) TNG Combadge 2 weeks ago:
I saw that, but it’s November 19 already. So they’ve either not restocked or have sold out already.
I clicked a few of the “Where to buy” links from the bottom, but only the non-Bluetooth ones were available.
- Comment on Shut up and take my money: A working (bluetooth) TNG Combadge 2 weeks ago:
I have an old rotary phone / bluetooth “headset” lol.
It’s a 50’s wall-mount model that the phone company would have hardwired (no RJ-11). I’ve got it hooked to a Bluetooth -> POTS adapter that will decode the pulse coding. It rings when my cell rings, you can answer/place calls from it, and you can dial 0 to engage the voice assistant.
- Comment on Shut up and take my money: A working (bluetooth) TNG Combadge 2 weeks ago:
not amazing as a Bluetooth device. Microphone didn’t pick up super-well
That’s disappointing. Seemed to work well in that video, though it was quiet; I did wonder how it would fare in the real world, though.
A Bluetooth version of the TMP communicators might have better success albeit at the cost of having to hold your arm up for the whole conversation.
I’ve used smart watches for phone calls like that, and it was pretty annoying after not very long at all.
I could probably easily make a Bluetooth TOS communicator, but that would be two roughly phone-sized things to carry around, so not really practical.
