I agree, but knowing it’s from Norway makes me feel more comfortable with the idea of using it than if it was made in the US…. (And I’m American…)

Look, I don’t print the packaging. It’s the one spiced with cinnamon and cardamom.

I prefer the Stash brand.

Yes, and I like it.

But I’m really more of a Chai tea man.

I’m sorry, that second one is not “Kevin”. That’s MacGyver’s grandfather…

I’ll be honest. After Starfield, I’m not entirely sure I want them to do it…

Thanks for the info, I did not know that.

I have always understood that the show wasn’t filmed on actual film, making an HD version difficult and/or impossible via traditional methods.

I could be wrong about that though, and would love to have an HD version of DS9 someday!

I the context of Linux and self-hosting “prepping” is usually more about maintaining services you find useful in a way that you can do it yourself, as opposed to relying on Google or Amazon (etc) who could pull the rug out from under you at basically any time.

Anyone else love the large, physical controls on the original Enterprise?

LCARS is cool, and the Cardassian version on DS9 definitely stands out. But the blinking lights and status indicators on the old 1701 (no bloody A, B, C, or D…) has a special place.

Thank you, I thought I was going to have to post this…

The Shire

Well, there is the old Vulcan saying “Only Nixon could go to China.”

It was also designed at a time when most of the population had never used a GUI on a computer. The show debuted in 1987, so the pre-filming work would have been happening a year or two before that.

Think about what the few graphical desktops on computers looked like in the mid 1980s… then recall that most people did not have a computer at home, and only used one at work if at all.

I’m not defending LCARs or anything - I am just trying to imagine what it would have been like to be a graphic designer in 1985, and someone comes up to you and says “We want you to make us what computer interfaces will look like in the 24th century.”

In terms of interfaces we see on Star Trek, I think the, mostly touch, interfaces we see in the TMP movies (the movies with the original series cast, for the non-Trek fans reading this) appear to be MUCH more practical.

It’s the best one!

Yes!

I might be in the minority, but I get more excited about the idea of maintaining/working on some creaky old legacy code base than I do about the idea of starting a new project from scratch.

94 is the oldest relative I’m aware of. It was my great grandfather. Staying active his whole life, a simple diet, and a generally positive outlook seems to have been the key.

Most of my family say I’m a lot like him!

I love doing that…

Great, now reverse it!

Hmmm, interesting. I like brew, for sure. And devcontainers worked ok for me when I was working on something by myself.

But as soon as I started working on a side project with a friend, who uses Ubuntu and was not trying to develop inside a container, things got more complicated and I decided to just use brew instead. I’m sure I could have figured it out, but we are both working full time and have families and are just doing this for fun. I didn’t want to hold us up!

Our little project’s back end runs in a docker compose with a Postgres instance. It’s no problem to run it like that for testing.

Maybe a re-read of the documentation for devcontainers would help…
