I think it’s a LW issue. You’re not the only one, and it’s not related to the app in use.

There’s always next birthday lol.

Possibly from handling artifacts, cargo, etc? Maybe the replicators of the era leave some rough edges (literally)?

Absolutely! I still laugh at that even knowing what’s coming.

The grammar pedant in me is annoyed they’re not called “The Beverlys Crusher” lol.

Most of the last mile fiber network is passive (doesn’t require active electronics to pass the signal like DOCSIS/cable internet or ADSL).

Cable and DSL typically have the equivalent of UPSs in their neighborhood nodes, but they often go unmaintained.

That’s basically what EFI booting does.

Initramfs’s main purpose is to load enough of a system to be able to load/boot the kernel and everything else from the hard disk. It’s also used for more complex boot scenarios such as loading LUKS and providing a password prompt if the root partition is encrypted.

I’m currently reading “Star Trek: Destiny” and the Borg are the big bad. Enjoying it so far (only about 1/3 into the first book of the trilogy).

I don’t really have a solid answer, and have only recently gone down the TrekLit rabbit hole, but I’d venture a couple of guesses:

1. Many of them utilize existing characters, so that might be problematic given the age of the cast and/or their availability.
2. I vaguely recall that existing characters for different series have to pay royalties to the writer who invented the character. I think this was the case for Nick Locarno and why Tom Paris is basically “We have Nick Locarno at home”
3. Probably some other IP legalese mucking things up as it is wont to do

When I posted yesterday looking to get some book suggestions, many of them involved existing characters. I think the “The Fall” series is all original characters, so it would probably be a good candidate. There’s probably others, but I’m not familiar enough yet to name any more.

The actor age / availability problem is probably solvable if the series was animated, though.

I’d be curious to see how adding a few plants affects that.

The Destiny trilogy by David Mack

Bought that one yesterday and am literally reading it now. Loving it so far; the pacing is fantastic.

Not long after the end of DS9. Garak remained on Cardassia Prime helping to rebuild after the end of the Dominion War. The framing structure of the book is a series of journal entries and letters from Garak to Dr. Bashir, so it covers a lot of time periods.

The cover makes me think “made-for-TV-movie RomCom” and now I have to buy this.

DS9 Millennium

Bought that trilogy and will read it after ST: Destiny

New Frontier series

That one was also recommended. It’s in the wish list, but I gotta figure out the reading order and buy them in order.

Invasion (4 books)

I didn’t even see those when I was looking, but will search for them directly.

The fall (5)

Also on the wish list :)

The buried age

Will check it out.

Thanks for the suggestions, and nice stack/collection! One of the drawbacks of ebooks is they’re not great for showing off or filling up a bookcase lol.

This one, right? Added it to my wish list.

And it’s only $1.99. Just bought it. Thanks!

The “New Frontier” series

I saw several of those but didn’t read the previews yet. I think a few of them made it to my wish list. Gonna have to see what the release/reading order is.

Ah, okay. Mine’s direct drive so probably doesn’t need that.

What does that actually do/address?

I’ve not had any issues without it on my E3v3
