I really hope someone in the future just reads an itemized list of transport infrastructure failures during his time as secretary in a future debate

Communist aliens on hexbear are legally required to tell us you exist

It’s the best medicine for these situations. I’ve had to use it in the past

Disney’s non-tv/movie content has actually been decent (highlights are Doctor Aphra comics, multiple Vader comics, lots of the High Republic Era books/comics are good), but that isn’t something I expect most people to engage with. Don’t get me wrong they’re absolutely slop, but they at least move beyond just being strictly nostalgia re-writes of existing content like the sequel trilogy was.

Hello. My single allowed bad leftist take is that I still enjoy star wars. While I think Andor and the last 3rd of Rogue One are easily the best Star Wars post Disney acquisition (Andor is probably the best Star Wars period) The Acolyte is currently in my top half. The dialogue writing is weak (which I think holds true for about every piece of star wars ever created that’s not Andor), but the story itself is still currently intriguing and as someone who has read most of the High Republic Era works I’m invested in seeing how they manage the transitional period towards the prequels and specifically a character in the show who is now radically different from how we’ve seen her in print works (that said her show form is ~60-80years older than her last novel appearance).

In short- unless you’re absolutely strapped for time try it. I’m not saying you couldn’t fill that time with better non-SW media (you absolutely could), but I think it’s worth watching up to this point if you just want to stay in the Star Wars universe.

Also don’t engage in Star Wars conversation with anyone who isn’t an anarchist or commie because they’re the only ones you’ll get decent takes from.

Having written all this I accept that I probably need to go to the gulag. I’m sorry to all of you who I’ve failed by coming out as still finding enjoyment in Star Wars.

The most baffling thing to me about modern data visualizations is that they’re almost exclusively consumed on devices that support interactive media. We don’t have to use these contrived non-interactive charts that make everything extremely cluttered and confusing. We can animate things, we can show slices of things, we can allow the user to hide/show/filter data within the bounds of what we’re trying to highlight/present. Not everything has to be made to be able to be consumed on a piece of paper.

Sorry some personal work visualization complaints got meshed into that rant.

I still can’t fully fathom how interesting the times we live in are where a country with a navy is losing a naval battle to a country without a navy

What’s the goal differential where Zelensky conscripts the players immediately following the end of the game?

Don’t actually go grift venture capitalists to start an AI-assisted telehealth company where 99% of the time it’s an AI diagnosing beanis and 5 seconds of you saying “Yep the AI was right it’s beanis”

Liberal because according to friends who are women other means libertarian or worse the overwhelming majority of the time and they’d filter it by default.

Do make it a point extremely early on/somewhere in your profile that you’re not actually a liberal because it helps a lot of people save a lot of time.

People were disturbed by a downwards trend in non-news-thread effort posting so a public works project was enacted that resulted in the creation of c/badposting

Excited, but I didn’t like either World or Rise near as much as Freedom Unite, 3 Ultimate, or 4 Ultimate largely because I prefer the slower, more prediction-based approach to combat of the older games versus the more reactive 5th-gen onwards approach.

That said I’ll still probably put 300 hours into wilds, I just really hope we see a remaster release of some of the older games in the near future. If anything I’ve still probably got 1500 hours of Monster Hunter Frontier ahead of me so I’ve got plenty of old-style game left before I run out of my preferred content.

Ratchet and Clank games did some fun stuff with the gyro controls where they had a tornado gun that you could fire and then control it with the controller while using other weapons.

Chiming in with some post-hardware-acquisition suggestions.

Read up and learn about docker and specifically docker compose. My reverse proxy of recommendation for a beginner is Nginx Proxy Manager. Debian stable server releases are great distros for your use-case.

Use least-access thought for connecting services and networks. For example only jellyfin and jellyseer needs to be on the NPM external network definition and accessible over network, not the underlying *arr stack, VPN, and torrent containers actually searching/acquiring the data.

NPM

• proxy-network

Jellyfin

• proxy-network

Jellyseer

• proxy-network
• arr-network

Radarr

• arr-network
• torrent-network

Sonarr

• arr-network
• torrent-network

QBitTorrent

• torrent-network

Containers are addressable by container name:port if they’re within the same network so you don’t need to worry about finding a container’s specific IP address. Example: when wiring up the Sonarr service’s location in the Jellyseer UI, assuming you named the Sonarr container Sonarr you can punch in Sonarr:7777 [this is just a random port for the example] and that Sonarr will resolve to the correct local IP in their shared network (arr-network in this example).

Also on the hardware side get a GPU with hardware AV1 support (the new Intel GPUs are great and cheap for this) as that’s the go-forward video codec and you’ll save tons in power on transcoding and an absurd amount of storage space over h.264 and a decent bit over h.265. It’s also worth updating clients with hardware decoding for AV1 asap so that the server has to transcode less as well (recent fire sticks and new TVs within the last 2 years should handle this already)

Also forgive me if this is all stuff you know already but also enable only key-based ssh access kinda immediately as the amount of port sniffing you’ll get on 22 is absurd.

Fedora on my desktop and Mint on my laptop is wonderful

Drop a list of some of the games if you remember them off the top of your head if you don’t mind

Welcome to the right side of the TTYD discourse. Unfortunately we have minimum posting obligation in our proselytization campaigns but as a hexbear native you should be fine

I recommend switching over to the myr* links in the r/roms mega for the time being.

I also recommend buying a 4TB hard drive and grabbing anything you think you’d plausibly play or care about.

Tooling around these takedowns seems to be rapidly getting “better” and it wouldn’t surprise me to find out initiatives like this getting increased funding as they’re a way to deploy AI to make it look like you’re meaningfully doing something to “protect” revenue
