I have a DS418play which is several generations behind and it runs a dozen Docker containers, including all of my media automation, just fine. I even host a Minecraft server for my nephews!

And fully supported by Synology, too! They are pretty good at embracing the community while still keeping security as a priority.

Russia and Iran have already won this round. Palestinians will be paying the price.

I should just start over and try again, probably did something silly that screwed things up.

Do you have personal experience with Nextcloud or Owncloud? I have tried the former and it’s been a general nightmare. I’m using Docker and have a dozen or more other containers that all work just fine, but even once I got Nextcloud installed and working it had all kinds of permission problems or just wouldn’t install things from its own built-in app store. Never did get any kind of document collaboration working.

Nice start and solid choices so far!

Definitely recommend looking into Docker, it’ll make cross-platform conflicts and migrations near effortless. Repurposing unused hardware is great, but can also be inefficient or bulky, so a hardware upgrade might be in your future eventually. ;)

If you are interested in automating any media retrieval and/or organization, which I gather you might given you have Plex, look into the *arr ecosystem: Sonarr for TV, Radarr for movies, plus others for books and music and pretty much anything else you can imagine!

My setup is based on Docker and a Synology NAS as the hardware. I recently set up a Minecraft server so my nieces and nephews have somewhere to play together, but may need to move that to my PC as the NAS is not very RAM or CPU heavy.

Depends on what we mean by “space”, but IMO this sentiment is much more contemporary than what someone living in the space-based luxury we see from Starfleet would think.

I think a true unification defeats the purpose of federation. That said, I have been using Lemmy Handshake to sync my subscriptions between accounts. I generally use one account to login, but sometimes an instance has technical issues or content seems to be missing so I like having a backup option in a pinch.

Why are you blaming Biden and not Congress?

Thanks for the recommendation!

From the video lengths it looks like they do actual play, which has always been hard for me to get into. Is there a podcast equivalent or anyone that does edited versions?

The vibe I get is he wanted to make a Star Trek show, but since he’s that comedy guy he probably got it greenlit as a comedy and then just slowly morphed into just Star Trek while the producers weren’t looking.

This is actual reality, so you nailed it. Seth approached Paramount with a pitch for a nostalgic reboot of the TNG era, they said no, so he went to Fox who he had a great relationship with due to Family Guy and created The Orville.

Whether the producers were unaware of the slow transition to actual speculative fiction or not is unclear for the first few seasons. I think the final season shows that it was overt, however, since after changing networks the whole tone, production quality, and even the actual time length of the episodes all changed.

I can’t stand Discover or Picard but greatly enjoy Strange New Worlds. Besides still being a prequel, it’s everything I wished modern Trek would be!

I’m also obligated to recommended Lower Decks.
