Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it’s hard to find something that’s not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called “kledging” from what I read, but not sure if that’s the exact same thing.

I would say Medium is partially public. A few articles I’ve tried to access in the past have been behind a paywall.

boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg

What on earth.

Is this a non-US thing? I’ve never heard of this practice and I worked for a farmer that raised chickens and sold eggs.

I love this kind of stuff.

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.

Yeah season 5 are all bangers.

From what I can remember, LD idea mostly referencing TNG and TOS. Can’t remember any references to Discovery.

Can you eli5?

I don’t think I understand what you mean.

What would the reverse proxy do in this situation?

The Riker Maneuver

Throw in Garak and I’m hooked.

Can you post your scripts?

Ahoy me matey

I hear you about TOS—just not an enjoyable experience for me.

You’re right about early TNG. If someone didn’t watch Haven 1x11 they would miss out on the intro to Lwaxana.

Interesting. I know TOS is popular and was groundbreaking when it came out, but first in the user score list of all time? That surprised me.

I guess I am an outlier here. I think TOS is the worst. Sexist, poorly written, inconsistent vision, campy. I really don’t get the appeal of it and I’ve watched it twice through. I’m grateful it caught on because we got much much better series after.

Here are my rankings:

1. DS9
2. TNG (skip seasons 1-2 😇)
3. VOY
4. LD
5. SNW
6. ENT
7. Prodigy
8. Disco
9. Picard
10. TAS
11. TOS

After #7, I stop recommending the show to others.

Have you ever had to cut your network?

I like it!

I mean…

I gotta say, I really hate it when people say this statement.

That’s a pithy saying, but the cloud is a totally different model than a “computer”.

The concept of “cloud” (generally) has its own way of interacting with tooling, it’s got a huge economy of scale that brings resiliency, a ton of interconnected services, etc. There’s more to it than just computers.

That’s like saying “the Highway doesn’t exist, it’s just someone else’s driveway.”—yeah, but there’s more to it than just streets.

Thanks for finding this playlist on YT music! Sadly all of the songs show up as unavailable for me. Anyone else seeing that too?

You might want to transfer your domain to another registrar. I use namecheap and they have a “catch all” option that’s free to use. You just set a single forwarding email and everything sent to your domain arrives there.
