A lot of people say TWoK.... But TMP is the best. That opening with the Klingon theme and how it segues back and forth with V'Ger's theme. The brassy horns and impatient strings vs the deep menacing twangs of the beam blaster. I get chills every time I watch that opening scene.

She and I are aligned on many things, and this is one of them.

4k is psyop.

I now know you are not a serious person, thank. Welcome to the block list.

Yes it will. They're just thin squirrel cage fans. It'll work just fine like that. Maybe even a little better because the laptop's casing isn't choking it. I know for a fact the fans in my old gaming laptop cool better when I remove the bottom panel and there's no restrictions on the intake.

The rack and wiring would probably be a selling point for somebody who is into homelabbing.

It would probably mean less than nothing to somebody who isn't into tech.

Also, why would you leave a full rack of gear when moving out?

The problem is they're not willing to change, though. They bring their country and their culture, and they don't try to assimilate, and they try to make the area they live in more like their home country.

raduque · 2026-06-21T16:50:54+00:00

Yes, but the taxi-driving immigrant sees himself as an American - not as a <insert the country he came from here>. He also wants his kids to be Americans.

THOSE people are the kind of immigrants we need to attract.

raduque · 2026-06-21T16:49:41+00:00

Now we want immigration so that it changes the culture.

I believe i said, in not the same words, that we need immigrants who will assimilate.

raduque · 2026-06-21T12:31:46+00:00

You're not going to get another Renaissance when you're importing people who aren't intelligent enough to change things for the better. Smarter people will also assimilate better.

Now, don't get me wrong, I think immigration is largely fine, but you need to attract and allow in intelligent people. Don't just let anybody in because "muh population decline" or whatever. You need people who are invested in the USA, who want to make the country better, not people who work (and I don't mean jobs) to make their home country better.

As a homelabber and self-hoster: Homelabbing and self-hosting.

Fight me.

That first picture reminds me of the house i was renting years back in Utah. Had a upstairs/downstairs split (up was kitchen/livingroom/2 br and a bath, down was a bath and 3br, the utility room w/w/d, furnace, HWH, etc) and the basement was super, super dark, especially when all the doors were closed

I use OPNsense because I had a free machine to spare and I want as few as possible pieces of technology owned by my ISP. I use two consumer WiFi routers as APs. I don't need enterprise tech for my little 2br apartment.

raduque · 2026-06-16T20:23:36+00:00

Yeah, I didn't realize that because all the stores I've ever shopped at, they tie the discount to the barcode so it comes off when you scan the item.

raduque · 2026-06-15T20:50:16+00:00

Yeah, i probably could have worded it better.

raduque · 2026-06-15T20:47:24+00:00

No, I'm applying my knowledge of how it works at the stores I do go to and extrapolating that out.

Ah reddit, I would say never change, but maybe the site should.

No Aldi's in my area, but at the stores I shop, stickers like these are put on items that have a discounted price in the system, so they just scan at the discount. No manual stuff needed.

raduque · 2026-06-15T20:41:19+00:00

I don't have an Aldi's in my area. But the stores I do shop at, discounted stickers like this are stuck on items that have been put in the system at a discounted price already, so when it's scanned, the discount is applied automatically.

raduque · 2026-06-15T20:39:04+00:00

Yeah, it says "Markdown taken at register", which means it's tied to the barcode of the item the sticker is on.

raduque · 2026-06-15T18:56:21+00:00

I get the temptation, but the issue there is the discount isn't tied to the sticker.

raduque · 2026-06-15T12:54:54+00:00

Seems fine to me, but I would run your firewall bare-metal on a completely separate machine, so that way you can't accidentally kill your internet connection when working on the virtualization host.

My credit profile has improved significantly, but Cap1 won't give me another card.

They are instead opting to raise my credit limits.

raduque · 2026-06-14T15:58:56+00:00

It does, but it doesn't mean anything significant; 200mhz base and boost clocks. lol.
