- Comment on Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ 1 week ago:
And honestly, my sourness with the 32nd century is sourness with Disco. It remains the only Trek series I haven’t seen every single episode of.
So I’ll give Academy a chance.
- Comment on Robert Picardo On How The Doctor Is “Deeper” In ‘Star Trek: Starfleet Academy’ 1 week ago:
I’ll watch it, but I’m already skeptical because it’s set in the 32nd century. That’s like setting Star Wars stuff in the Sequels Era (don’t do it).

In fact, my wife and I already have a self hosted LubeLogger.
- Comment on How is content like this banned on .ml for being "political"? 4 weeks ago:
Since when does lemmy.ml ban political content? Is it on a specific community?

It’s so much easier to set up and install than Matrix.
- Comment on Low resource, Performant WAF 1 month ago:
There’s a learning curve, but if you’re familiar with WAF’s it’s not hard.
- Comment on Low resource, Performant WAF 1 month ago:
If you want to DIY something, I have a bash script that builds OpenResty with NAXSI from source. Most of the web apps I write anymore are actually in Lua, for OpenResty, maybe with an API written in something else. But I also help other members of my team deploy their Node and Python apps and stuff, and I always just park those behind OpenResty with NAXSI, just doing a standard nginx reverse proxy.
- Comment on What host names do you use? 1 month ago:
Every computer I own is an autobot. My primary machine is always Optimus Prime, has been since 2008. Other machines get other names generally slightly inspired by their role / nature. Bumblebee and CliffJumper are miniPCs of various persuasions, Preceptor is my “mess around with AI” box, my big server that handles most of my data and network services is Wheeljack, my Macbook is Mirage, my backup server is Powerglide, my TV (which is an old Dell all in One running Linux Mint) is UltraMagnus.
- Comment on Multiple Lemmy Accounts? 1 month ago:
Back in the day I had like five Reddit accounts. I still log into one of them sometimes (no it’s not my main one, that one turned into obscene invitations for u/spez to bugger himself with a hot poker, I’m not exaggerating).
- Comment on Is there a way to watch DS9 whole skipping the prophet & pah wraith plotline 1 month ago:
What the other poster said. Is it possible to skip all those episodes? Probably, if you’re okay with getting dropped into an episode like
“Wait, weren’t they under attack by a huge battlefleet? What happened? How did they survive?”
“Wait, this character is dead? How did that happen??”
You’ll also have to skip the season finale of season 6, the first few episodes of season 7, and most of the last episodes of the series, including the series finale.
tl:dr; power through, don’t do it, it gets better.

- Comment on Bad UX is keeping the majority of people away from Lemmy 2 months ago:
I read a really good article recently about how people from different generations process information differently and so their UI preferences are wildly different.
The gist of it was
- A Boomer walks into a bookstore to buy a book. They feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of books. They choose one by an author they know, that their friends said was good.
- A Gen Xer or a Millennial walks into a bookstore to buy a book. The check the various authors they like, check that the cover art is appealing and read the backs of the different books, figuring out which one they want to read, then they buy that one.
- A Zoomer walks into a bookstore to buy a book. They feel overwhelmed by the sheer amount of books, and feel bombarded by the ads for books. They check the authors the influencers they subscribe to on Youtube and Tik Tok say are good. They grab one of those based on the color of the cover, ignore the back and the cover art, flip it open to a random page, read that page and if what they read grabs their their attention they buy that book, but if it doesn’t, they move on.
As a result, each of these people will prefer to interact with vastly different UX.
Of course these aren’t hard and fast rules, set in stone and there are tons of exceptions, but it’s a definite trend.
- Comment on Film Discussion | Star Trek: Section 31 2 months ago:
I’m glad people are finding it tolerably fun, I guess. I’m about 30 minutes in and don’t know if I can keep watching.
- Comment on Star Trek: Section 31 Review: An Open Window on a Side of the Galaxy Not Seen Before 2 months ago:
I wanted to say something snarky about how “Section 31 aren’t the good guys! Don’t you get it? Stop telling stories where they are!”
But I actually suppose that in 2025 the message of “You will lose utopia if you don’t defend it by whatever means necessary” may actually be a tragically positive message.
- Comment on Star Trek:Section 31 Premiere Reaction (ft Emily Inkpen) and Q&A with Michelle Yeoh and Rob Kazinsky [Spoiler-free mini-review] 2 months ago:
the person who saw the movie described it as “fun,” “silly,” and “Guardians of the Galaxy meets Fifth Element meets Mission: Impossible”.
I have a feeling I’m gonna be like “This was a good sci fi movie, but should it have been a Trek movie?”

In the first Witcher game, you fight a god from the Cthulu mythos (Dagon) on like a side quest, and he’s not even that tough.

I could see a world where all politicians are required to do a guided LSD trip prior to taking office being better than this one.
- Comment on BACK IT UP 4 months ago:
I actually met this mother fucker in Mexico in 1999, giving a talk on habitat preservation at Lagoona San Ignacio to a bunch of C list celebrities who were there to support the Natural Resource Defense Council and it’s efforts to stop Mitsubishi from building a salt extraction plant in the middle of a gray whale breeding sanctuary (super good cause).
I was there with a bunch of high school students who’s rich white parents paid for them to go on an expensive ass field trip to watch whales fuck (and do eco protest activist tourism). Coincidentally, the NRDC was there too and they got really excited to invite a bunch of American highschool students to their media shindig.
RFK Jr. got SUPER drunk and gave a sloppy, rambling, barely coherent speech, thanking people for their generosity. The kids were like “WTF is up with this dude? We’ve never seen grownups act like this!”
We did get to hear some really cool marine biologists talk about grey whales. Then one of THEM (Roger Payne, I think) got really drunk too and told us “Whales are people damn it! But you can’t publish that! You can’t fucking publish that!”

- Comment on Creamy Cartilage 5 months ago:
My wife has a genetic disorder that (among many other things) causes her spine to herniate at the drop of a hat. She’s had to have emergency surgery multiple times.
About a year and a half ago, a neurosurgeon was operating on her and came to talk to me and my mom who were waiting. She was extremely excited, in that like “academic who just saw something new” kind of way, because my wife had the third biggest herniation she’d ever seen, and the largest in a patient under 70 (my wife was 34 at the time). She asked if it would be OK if she invited a professor from the local university and a couple of his grad students to come look at it.
