It might fall under the same concept that recipes do - you can’t copyright a recipe, but a collection of recipes (such as a book) is copyrightable.

In any case, they have a lot more money to pay lawyers than you or I do, I’ll bet, so even if you are right, that doesn’t mean you’ll have the money to actually win.

Funny that’s how my Slackware upgrades always went, but I’ve had a great experience with Debian every time.

Yeah part of the issue here is that there are so few users that the more niche topics just don’t get a lot of traction.

For example, I help mod the Washington Capitals hockey team community, but mostly it’s just two of us talking. We recently decided to stop posting game day threads for every game, because there’d be one comment in them (usually me), if we were lucky - and we were the last NHL team community to end the game day threads; most stopped long ago. The overhead just wasn’t worth the reward. We decided we’d focus more on the general Hockey community, hoping to build that out a bit.

(We didn’t give up entirely - we posted a sticky thread that is for all games, and we’ll make a top level comment for each game in there, asking people to respond to that comment for that game. If they don’t, not a major issue. This way we still have the forum for the game discussions without having to worry about posting it every time.)

Everyone but Tuvix, that is.

I thought they did use the same ships - I seem to recall reading somewhere that it was because of an alliance at some point, but I don’t remember if that was in a non-canon book.

The real reason was to reduce production costs of course.

In my previous job and my job at the bike shop, yes. But I don’t really care, its issues aren’t my problem.

So was the ghost in this universe or nah?

(I know this was before the ghost episode, but I just wondered.)

Whoa I didn’t make that connection. Thanks!

Interesting. After I got the new Debian running, I just updated the source for Jellyfin (and a few other packages) to Trixie, and it updated just fine.

Well I finally upgraded to 13, a few months later. The only issue was the blob file in glances, which I was ready to deal with. Oh and I had to install php-mysql.

I don’t like that you can’t start the Debian upgrade and just walk away. It stops and asks you about configuration files, so you have to babysit it. Other than that, it works well.

Don’t worry, Captain, I’m sure this pain will go away in about a week.

That was such a heartbreaking moment. But serial television goes on without any lasting effect!

Yeah, once my isp had me verify that the power light on my ont was on, then asked me to plug in a lamp to confirm the outlet was working…

Another time they had me do all kinds of troubleshooting, insisting there was no outage in the area… It turned out a truck had taken out the wires over the road.

On a related note to the last one, if we have a power outage, I get an email from them right away - before the ceiling fans stop spinning - warning me the internet might not work without power. But, somehow, they can’t detect outages in their own network.

For some reason, if I were doing the physical media route, I’d want to ship the drives via FedEx or something similar. Presumably this isn’t the only copy of the data. Even if you still need to go, just dragging these drives around seems risky.

So we know Vulcans have that 7-year mating cycle thing. Doesn’t that imply the Romulans have the same?

I want to put permanent ones on our house. Do it once and that’s it.

Good thing he survived the crash on Veridian III.

I used VirtualBox on Linux to host my Home Assistant server for a while. I kept having odd issues with usb devices. I’d have to disconnect and reconnect them to get them working again.

Many people in the HA help groups say not to use VirtualBox, and at first I thought they were basing that on old info. But then I started having issues, too. On the other hand, kvm has been rock solid for a long time.

So I’m glad to see they continue to develop it, but I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy duty use. It’s useful to dipping toes into virtualization, or maybe for running systems for the short term (a few hours here and there, or something), but for long term use, I’d go another route. It’s certainly easier to set up the network in VirtualBox, I’ll grant that - it took me a while to get it right for HA on kvm. (Of course, that’s a one-time setup thing, too - I shouldn’t have to touch it again. And don’t ask me what I did, because I don’t remember!)

I believe silverware and napkins should be at the end of the line, not where you pick up the plate.

My wife disagrees but can’t explain why she thinks I’m wrong. I at least have a logical reason (one less thing to deal with while putting food on the plate).

And all for nothing, because the shield would make you sterile as well.
