How has Person of Interest aged, would you still recommend it?
  • I rewatched it a few months ago. I enjoyed it again, it's not mind blowing TV but it has interesting concepts, fun characters, and some good plots through all the seasons.

    I liked it on my first watch and I liked it on my second watch.

    Michael Emerson is great, he IS Finch to me.

    Watch it, have fun, enjoy the quirky stuff and if you hate an episode, skip it and move on. There are enough episodes to keep the story going.

  • Congratulations to Nooodel for their Pic of the Week!
  • Pixelfed is federated and the app is pretty good. It's an Instagram alternative. May be nice to have a designated spot for all your work.

    At least for me, if I see something I like, I dig deeper to see what else they have.

    Regardless of how you post now or in the future, thanks for sharing.

  • Boeing’s Starliner started making a repeating ‘pulsing’ sound yesterday
  • I try to always remember People, process and product. PPP. It helps remind me that the people are just like you and I, families and waking up each day to do a job. It's so easy for things to fall apart when there aren't the right tools or processes in place. My failures individually or as a team never left someone in outer space but I've had some doozies in my career.

    This isn't addressing your comment but I guess it was on my mind. I do know that the majority of people want to do their best and I feel bad for them and those affected by a company's poor decisions.

  • Boeing’s Starliner started making a repeating ‘pulsing’ sound yesterday
  • I'm not qualified in any sense to speculate, and so that's exactly what I'm going to do.

    My first thought is that there is a configuration happening to bring it home which we already knew, and there is a bug or test tone that was activated and since no one writing the code is there, they just didn't notice it is still running.

  • I'm at a loss on what server to buy
  • I had an Intel s2600 with dual Xeon and 120 gigs of RAM. It seems like such a good idea to run that as a home server. However, the amount of power that it used because it was older was way too much.

    I ended up hunting on eBay and found an old Asus motherboard, Intel chip, ram, and a pny Nvidia card.

    I bought refurb hard drives from serverpartdeals and a new case from Amazon.

    I recommend starting with a chassis you want and working backwards to help narrow your scope.

    I know you wanted smaller but heres what I bought. SilverStone Technology CS382... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CKTYSZV9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

    Also, I run truenas scale with a bunch of apps. Ssd z1 for os. Ssd z1 for transcode and caches. And then 4 drive set for main storage and another 4 drive set for backup of the first set.

  • Digging Away Droughts
  • Agreed. I'm just glad no one is filming me when I'm working on things. It's not that I can't figure things out but it takes some trial and error.

    I watch the channel with that in mind, he's me in a sense ... Trying to reforest 300 something acres. He seems like a smart guy though and making progress. It's all cumulative work so it'll pick up I'm sure after a year of growth.

  • Digging Away Droughts
  • I've been watching DustUps ranch on YouTube. Some guy bought wasteland in Texas and is doing this and other stuff to create a forest.

    Definitely not an instructional channel because there is a lot that goes wrong so far but he learns as he goes and seems to have a good plan now.

  • How many email addresses do you have?
  • I use simplelogin but mostly I still use an email that provides aliases. I break things up into five or six main groups. Content like games and streaming, shopping, social media, and a few others. This works as a general grouping for bookmarks, passwords, note taking, and emails.

    I felt using a simplelogin alias for every site was out of control. For me personally I just need it a bit simpler.

  • Moon cave discovered that could one day house humans
  • Mildly related by the topic. I'm playing ghost recon breakpoint and a bunch of the main characters are hiding in a huge cave. My character said something like "do you have a computer?" And the NPC replied, "I live in a cave, I'm not a cave man" .

  • How the hell should I even switch mail providers?
  • I hate it too, I need it and hate it. But it is the standard and honestly if we all switched to whatever else, we would hate that too. The mechanism isn't the problem, imo, it's the requirement of maintenance and monitoring.

  • Here’s what we’re working on in Firefox | The Mozilla Blog
  • It says nothing about spyware, the article isn't hyped up at all, and describes a token to track installations vs downloads.

    "This data will allow us to correlate telemetry IDs with download tokens and Google Analytics IDs. This will allow us to track which installs result from which downloads to determine the answers to questions like, "Why do we see so many installs per day, but not that many downloads per day?"

    Also there is an opt-out during installation.

    I don't even use Firefox, and I honestly am not attacking but your comment seemed very hyperbolic and with little detail.

    You're right that it's good to be aware of this stuff, I also don't see this being a road block for the average user.

  • Finally, 3.5 Years After Launch, No One Is Working on Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt
  • Sorry I wasn't clear.

    Fallout 4 is beloved and buggy as hell. Cyberpunk was buggy, and still has bugs but is completely playable over and over again and with my hundreds of hours, I haven't run into any game killing glitches.

  • Finally, 3.5 Years After Launch, No One Is Working on Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt
  • Been playing on and off for years (beat it every way, every ending, 100% most of everything).

    It's less glitchy than fallout 4. Even if there are bugs, they are not game ending or even that difficult to move on.

    The game, the dlc, the paid dlc.... I thought all of it was incredible and I had an absolutely amazing time playing. I think I'm around 800 hours, but a few hundred were on stadia.

    Anyway, if you're having issues, delete it all, try again and give it a shot. The difference between release and now is large.

  • What good/positive habits have you taken away from your time in Covid lockdown and kept up since then?
  • I do not still wear a mask, but I really loved having my face covered when I went places during covid. I just felt free. I don't know why as I don't have a problem going anywhere or doing anything normally, but covering my face felt good (except on 100 degree days in summer).
