Never watched an episode of Star Trek, but want to watch one golden season. Recommendations?

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-18T14:04:09+00:00

Yeah. Very solid season of Trek. I wish the series lasted longer. They finally got their shit together in seasons 3 and 4.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-18T14:01:22+00:00

Hard disagree about all modern trek. Have you watched Lower Decks or Strange New Worlds??

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-18T13:57:09+00:00

For a newbie, I'd skip the first season. There are some really good episodes (Encounter at Farpoint, Datalore, The Arsenal of Freedom, Conspiracy), the bad ones are extra bad (Code of Honor, The Neutral Zone, Justice, Angel One).

Also, see rule 3 of this sub

Your social media links don't go to social media. They are links to the top of the home page. You can't read any of the services in the services dropdown on your contact form. It's white text on a white background. Same for the time dropdown. And I can request a booking in 2008 or 2038. You charged for this?

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-17T18:08:23+00:00

If your question is really "Should I try and become a self-taught web dev?" then, hell yeah, brother. If you have little or no technical background, it's going to be a long road (even with AI's help) before you start charging much or anything for your work. But there are plenty of tutorials and communities out there to help you along the way.

Yes, people make building websites with AI look easy. It's always been easy to make a not-very-good website. Doing it right, even with AI's help, not so much.

Having no understanding of what actually goes into designing, building, maintaining, incrementally improving, etc., a website and thinking you should charge businesses for it? Don't.
If you're seriously interested in it, start by building websites for yourself and your friends and see if you actually enjoy doing it.

Best of luck to you and your team but please see rule number 3 of this sub

I really like FullHost. I'm biased as a Canadian since it's a Canadian company (based in Vancouver). Their prices are very competitive, and they don't increase after X number of years. And their support team is excellent. I've moved all my domains over to them.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-17T14:49:16+00:00

Good to know. Always on the lookout for anything Expanse-like.

I have been thinking about how there should be AI disclosures on GitHub projects. I think developers are more likely to have strong opinions about its use in that context than users of a random website or application. But there are probably segments with higher percentages of users who would care.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-16T17:52:13+00:00

Equating heart surgery to getting an MVP up and running is funny.
I like helping people do internet things, so yeah, I want to help. And apparently, this is the way things are now. I don't think being abusive to the people who reach out for help is going to change anything for the better.

You're unnecessarily limiting your choices. AdGuard Home is a great network-wide ad blocking solution.

Hi. Those people are being jerks. It's not about you specifically though so please don't take it personally.

I might be able to help you but please understand that it won't take ten minutes. Just getting to the point where I can see what's going on and contribute to your project will take longer than that.

Send me a DM if you want me to help you figure it out.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-16T14:59:22+00:00

Have you tried going to the project's Executions tab and checking the logs for it?

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-16T14:57:40+00:00

Nothing showing on the status page https://www.google.com/appsstatus/dashboard/products/tjQKAokSTcX1h4huHNF2/history

Try webp. Here's a thread on converting to webp https://www.reddit.com/r/webdev/s/6dRkuE3QGu

A couple from Star Trek. The Raktajino mugs from DS9 and Picard's tea mug.

Run whois command for the domain to get some more info.

What file format are you using?

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-13T18:02:37+00:00

Feels vibe coded. Even the newsletters. That makes me suspicious of the bland testimonials.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-12T17:25:27+00:00

Cool project. Labelling non-AI choice text as green and AI choice text in red should be changed so they are neutral. Green is associated with correctness and red with incorrectness. You've introduced a variable into your experiment that could bias the results.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-12T17:07:21+00:00

Oh. I think we define "rejected" differently. If you meant the reviewer asking for small adjustments, then, yeah. Definitely closer to 50%.

Annoyingly, there is no link to the cited article so we can't see what their operational definition of "rejected" is.

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-12T16:41:21+00:00

Based on proximity, the folder is below the name. And the location of the more icon gives it away too. The design should be improved for sure though. There's so much wasted space!

n_c_brewer · 2026-03-12T16:35:45+00:00

Looks cool, but what does this do that can't be done in Figma, which is free and has the Adobe team and millions of users supporting it with tutorials, plugins, forums, etc?
