- Comment on So say, someone lives in an English speaking country and wanna see a movie in the threaters but they struggle to understand English, how are they supposed to watch it? 9 hours ago:
Some theaters have closed captioning done via a backwards display at the back of the theater, you wear special glasses or something that have mirrors. I think some may also do alternate languages.

- Comment on How do you effectively backup your high (20+ TB) local NAS? 3 weeks ago:
I don’t. Of my 120tb, I only care about the 4tb of personal data and I push that to a cloud backup. The rest can just be downloaded again.

- Comment on Star Trek: Voyager - Across the Unknown | Launch Trailer | Coming February 18! 4 weeks ago:
I’m definitely intrigued. Most of the early demo reviews hated on it for being text heavy instead of voice actors, so I’m keen to see some updated reviews.

Yeah you’re wrong. I could barely make it through a few episodes of SGU, but STA is much better.

I found Discovery the same way, it’s the only trek series I couldn’t make it through.
Picard suffered from bad writing unfortunately. Season 3 cashed in on nostalgia and I appreciate it for that, but the first 2 seasons were very meh.
Starfleet academy is great though, IF you’re ok with a show targeted to young adults. If you’re not ok with that, the episodes will be very hit and miss. The most recent episode was fantastic, once you get through the 3 minute long sex scene it opened with. Even that does serve a purpose though to show the bond that’s developed between two chars.

Which I find kinda surprising, since I would call SNW fairly “woke” if you actually pay attention to the show. Maybe it’s just because it’s a male captain set in the TOS era, and it’s a more traditional trek show?
- Comment on Notice: failed container health check for example.org 5 weeks ago:
Why are you relying on example.com as a health check? To be really blunt about it, you deserve your shit breaking for using it.
From their docs:
These web services are provided as best effort, but are not designed to support production applications. While incidental traffic for incorrectly configured applications is expected, please do not design applications that require the example domains to have operating HTTP service.

I like the one where you stick the word anal in front of the names of RVs.

I think this is the most I’ve despised an enemy since Kai Wynn. I did not expect an episode like that from this show.

Double check you have the right board type defined in the Arduino ide

The first warning you can probably ignore. The second might cause an issue. Neither of these look fatal though, what’s the actual end result you’re not getting?
I wish the gate would spin while dialing.
- Comment on How would you describe that post sneeze smell? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t smell anything after I sneeze… You should probably check with a doctor to make sure you don’t have an infection.

I don’t know if a lot of people realize that LLM’s basically started from Google translate.
- Comment on Dutch authorities seized one of Windscribe VPN's servers – here's everything we know 5 weeks ago:
Yep came here to say this, it being a ram only server doesn’t really help against government level attacks.
There’s a decent chance the server itself had dual power supplies, in which case you could just unplug one and plug it into a battery and you’re good to go. That simplifies things quite a bit.

- Comment on What actually happens in a DDOS attack? 1 month ago:
Imagine a server is a shopping mall. Now imagine you’ve got 20 years worth of black Friday traffic trying to get to it.
The server might be able to handle the requests that get to it, but the sheer volume of traffic makes it impossible to get in or out effectively.
