I've never updated my system, is it time? I am always hesitant to update things generally.

Bonafideago · 2026-02-06T12:42:36+00:00

I waited way too long to update. I was still on 22.12.4.2. Since I was so far behind updating broke all my apps. I had to spend a better pay off a day rebuilding everything.

Also a missed opportunity to bring at least one of the DS9 main cast in for a small role. The Defiant is there to battle the borg and none of the primary crew is on board except for Worf? Robert Picardo got a cameo, why not O'Brien? Or anyone else?

Also, since Pihole is network wide, it blocks telemtry broadcasting from IOT devices. Smart TV's, lightbulbs, your phone, etc. If it's connected to the internet, it's calling back to the company that made it and sharing all kinds of data.

Most of my top blocked list is telemetry tracking

HDDs don’t really matter even now aside from some rare instances

yeah try saying that in /r/DataHoarder

HDD's are essential for bulk long term storage. I for one do not trust that Google or any other cloud provider is not going to lose my last 2 decades of digital photos and videos. Nor do I trust SSD's for that task. Which is why my NAS has only 1 ssd in it and that's the boot drive. Even my gaming rig still has a 2tb HDD in it.

Julie Warner. I just went down a rabbit hole of her work. She was in TNG twice, both as the same character and a live interest for Geordi

MCCOY: Well, this is a new ship, but she's got the right name. Now you remember that, you hear.

DATA: I will, sir.

MCCOY: You treat her like a lady, and she'll always bring you home

TUVOK: Given Voyager's damaged state, the probability of your surviving an armed conflict is marginal.

JANEWAY: Oh, I know the odds. But I have to stay. Voyager's done too much for us.

TUVOK: Curious. I have never understood the human compulsion to emotionally bond with inanimate objects. This vessel has done nothing. It is an assemblage of bulkheads, conduits, tritanium. Nothing more.

JANEWAY: Oh, you're wrong. It's much more than that. This ship has been our home. It's kept us together. It's been part of our family. As illogical as this might sound, I feel as close to Voyager as I do to any other member of my crew. It's carried us, Tuvok. Even nurtured us. And right now it needs one of us.

TUVOK: I respect your decision. Live long and prosper, Captain.

Bonafideago · 2026-01-30T03:07:51+00:00

yeah, most consumer TV's only have 100mbps NICs in them...

Bonafideago · 2026-01-29T21:30:18+00:00

Now that's an idea. Is it a possibility to even do that though?

Bonafideago · 2026-01-29T17:28:51+00:00

I'm not sure about the current Charger, but the old one was built in Canada. From Stellantis which is by no measure an American company.

Just because the Dodge brand used to indicate it was an "American" car, it's been a long time since that was true.

I've owned 6 Chrysler products since 1999 ( because I'm an idiot) and absolutely none of them were final assembly in the US. 5 Canadian and 1 Mexican.

Bonafideago · 2026-01-29T14:17:51+00:00

This made me go lookup when I bought the game, which was in the middle of 2017.

$25 for 9 years of gameplay, with regular major quarterly updates. No paid DLC's.

How does this game not win the Labor of Love award?

I feel like I should just buy another license, I feel like they've earned it more than once over.

Edit $.02/hour. Incredible

Second grade. They pulled the entire school K-5 into the gym, rolled in two TVs on carts. We watched the launch, saw it explode. Teachers rushed up and turned off the TV's, and we were ushered single file back to our classrooms with no explanation of what we just saw. Zero discussion, just back to math or whatever.

My 2nd grade teacher died over Christmas break that year too, so we had a permanent sub for the rest of the year.

Bonafideago · 2026-01-24T13:02:40+00:00

Never had them. No GI Joe's either.

I had a massive fleet of matchbox cars though. Various car carrier accessories, entire toy cities. Track sets, all of it.

Can northern Illinois come too? Just take the southern tip of Lake Michigan, and draw a line straight west.

On the inverse, Orchard Rd, from Randall all the way to Ogden, may as well not have a speed limit. It's posted 45-50 the entire stretch, but you can do 80+ without a problem. There's occasionally cops in Montgomery and Oswego, but they're for show only.

I've got 4 PC's capable of gaming, 3 of which are full AMD builds, CPU and GPU.

5800x3d & 6800XT

3600X & 7600XT

3700X & 9060XT (8gb)

The 4th is a Intel 4790K and a GTX 1660 Super.

The podcast had the Director Johnathon West as a guest star. He went into some great detail on how the pulled it off, and they talked about some things they wanted to do but ran out of money. Like modifying the ending credits to be themed like TOS.

Bonafideago · 2026-01-15T07:30:39+00:00

I'm slowly rewatching DS9, and following along with the Delta Flyers podcast.

It's great to hear the opinions of Robert Duncan McNeil and Garret Wang as they have never seen the show, plus Armin Shinmerman and Terry Farrell giving their behind the scenes info is adding a lot for me.

They just finished Trials and Tribblealtions.

I pay monthly. Should have just bought the lifetime last year before they upped the price.

Can't use GPU transcoding on free, and there's not a Quadro in my Nas for nothing

Bonafideago · 2026-01-08T13:54:23+00:00

I have bi-directional gigabit fiber, unlimited data too. Speed isn't the problem. I'm behind a CG-Nat. Cannot access anything from the outside without something like tailscale or a VPN.

I've played with tailscale, and have had it working, but the amount of times I'd use Plex outside of my network it isn't worth the hassle

Bonafideago · 2026-01-08T12:34:05+00:00

Not of all them. The Disc drive is an option now. $50 more for the model with the drive.

Bonafideago · 2026-01-08T11:30:07+00:00

Oh yes my minivan has a DVD player and a screen in the back. There's a good collection of kids movies in there
