  • Anyone used to watch Stargate? There's a new show coming out

    Jump

  • Love the "as long as they don't make it woke" comment in the link, as if the smartest human on the show (Yeah, I said it, Rodney) wasn't a woman and one of the most iconic characters wasn't a black man. If this cast launched today they'd call it woke nonsense.

    The article didn't say if this is a reboot or if it's set in the same universe as the originals. For myself, I'm very interested in a continuation, but almost completely uninterested in a reboot.

  • I discovered Resident Alien recently and I'm loving it

    Jump

  • Absolutely loved this show and very glad it wasn't one that either:

    Got cancelled unexpectedly

    Stayed on so long it completely lost its plot

    Don't get me wrong, I feel it could easily have lasted a few more seasons, but, it was really good for its entire run and that's not a bad thing either.

    Also - Don't skip the intro! It's slightly different every time and basically hilarious every time!

  • Using Fail2ban to protect exposed services

    Jump

  • Yeah, I had a overall bad experience with everything being buggy and then even devices that weren't connected to tailscale would start trying to ping the tailnet address instead of the local (wasn't using their funky bridge subnets feature or whatever it's called, so I don't know why it would happen).

    Their magicDNS is cool in theory but caused me nothing but problems. Once I turned off their DNS and set up my own DNS server for it though, it's gotten to basically be as seamless as they claim it's supposed to be from the start. I'm no longer having any issues with it at all.

  • 'Next Step Is Primaries': Calls for Schumer Ouster After Leading Shutdown Surrender

    Jump

  • Not when Dems always have the needed number of turncoats no matter what the situation!

    Need two, don't worry, two will fall on the sword and make it (not) happen!

    Need 8? 2 who are retiring and 6 who don't have a re election coming up will make it (not) happen!

    Anything to stop too much progress from being made!

  • Time to update your bingo cards

  • And even if they did, well, what they ACTUALLY meant was that he should do that since the usage of the word "shouldn't" was different back then.

  • You've got to save something for the next release!

  • Disney Reportedly Pulls the Plug on TRON 4 After TRON: ARES Crashes at the Box Office, Is Jared Leto to Blame?

    Jump

  • Same for me. I didn't see 2, but this one looked good until I saw Leto was in it, then it was a hard no

  • Pentagon Pete Fires ‘Fat’ Soldiers as War on Weight Rages

  • From .world no less! Why, I never!

    I'm just so surprised! /s

  • Turns out when you start spying on NPCs, they start spying on you too.

  • Congrats on the marriage!

    Thanks for these comics, they always bring me joy to see the newest one is out!

  • what debian compatible IRC client should I use now that hexchat is dead?

    Jump

  • I use Weechat with Glowing Bear as a webui frontend for it, which is pretty convenient.

  • 'Set us free': Ben & Jerry's enlists support of fans to separate from parent company

    Jump

  • It's right there in the name, trade SECRETS.

    Those are kept safe by legal agreements compelling secrecy, not letting most people know the secrets and other methods, but, if the secrets got out, the person who leaked it might get in trouble for breaking a legal contract or breaking and entering or whatever, but, the rest of the world would be able to legally sell things made using those recipes, but they probably wouldn't be able to reference the original company directly (ie, Crowns Chicken, now using KFCs original recipe!) ... "11 herbs and spices" is probably a term that's trademarked too, but I'm sure some marketing person would find a creative way to tell everyone.

  • What are some things for a new home owner to consider getting early on?

    Jump

  • A couple people have suggested power tools ... I'll add that whatever battery platform you wind up going with (I went with Ryobi ... good enough for my purposes), also pick up an adapter that'll use the battery and give you AC power as well. Having an adapter that'll power anything up to 150W has been a godsend.

    I've also got a bunch of flashlights/lanterns that use the same batteries ... super convenient if we lose power and it's great when we go camping too.

    I've got a "battery charging station" that's just a plastic shelf, when you come in from the garage and it's got the Ryobi batteries charging, but also our USB charging packs, rechargable AA/AAA/etc... batteries, and it's also where we keep a lot of the tools so it makes it easy to find things in an emergency.

    -=-=-=- If your house has a sump pump but no battery backup (and I'd actually recommend the ones that are FULL replacements ... so, you'll basically have two pumps in the sump, one of which is connected to the battery system), I'd definitely recommend you getting one before you need it.

    -=-=-=- For myself, my AC unit has two capacitors. One burned up the first weekend we were in the house and one burned out a couple of years later.

    The first one, I didn't know anything at the time and it cost a bit more than $600 (we thought we were getting screwed [and we were], but, it was 110deg F with fans running, so, we weren't in a position to argue and the tech knew it). It's a $20 part if you just buy it online and many times it will physically deform when it breaks, so even with no knowledge you might even have a physical indication that it's broken. Go to your AC unit, give it a thorough cleaning (youtube the process) and then look up what capacitors your unit uses and buy a spare set and watch a quick video on how to replace them ... super easy. It's likely you'll pay < $40 for however many you need and you won't have to deal with a massive bill for a $20 part that you've just got to match up the ports and then move the blade terminals from one to the other AND you won't have to deal with a hot house while you wait for a replacement since you'll already have one and you'll just have to buy a replacement for your spare, but, even if that takes a month to ship, it won't be a worry.

    -=-=-=- A GOOD tape measurer. I've got a great Milwaukee one that has a magnet on the tip and it also holds without bending for a decent distance and it's been glorious ... always sucks when you're trying to measure something and the tape is just flopping around not able to hold its shape.

    -=-=-=- There are a lot of studfinders out there, but I've found the ones that work the best basically just have a magnet that finds the nails/screws that are holding the drywall on. Once you've found a nail, you've found the stud.

  • yes

  • Absolutely! That's probably the best compromise to make it easier without risking something breaking or not working as expected

  • yes

  • Maybe, but there is always the possibility that Downloads and downloads both exist in that path and in a case sensitive file system, those are going to be two completely different directories, so adding that obfuscation on top might wind up biting you later.

  • Selfhosting Sunday - What's up to date, selfhosters?

    Jump

  • I just followed their instructions and on 2 of the nodes in my cluster, I migrated all VMs/LXCs off and then did the upgrade and they went through without a hitch. For the last one, I just YOLO'd it and powered off the VMs/LXCs and upgraded it and it also went through without a hitch.

    One thing I did find interesting was the systemd-boot packages needed to be removed and were on 2/3 of the machines. I basically intentionally keep their config as close to identical as possible, so I have no clue why it was only needed on 2 of them.

  • What character from a movie/show/game/anything did you think you were going to hate, but ended up liking?

    Jump

  • Lestat

    After finishing Interview With A Vampire and finding out Lestat is the main character of the rest of the series, I was like "well, at least the first book was good, I don't know how I'm supposed to like a book with this douche"

    Shortly afterwards: [[Arrested Development meme]] I don't care for Louis

    I think he just assumes other people are as irresponsible with the nations purse as he is.
