I agree, that was a great one that I was happy to see took years to make

I agree. We only had 2 episodes to see Spock and La’an get together, it felt like whiplash when we just saw him pining over Chapel. Looking back at shows like DS9 a season of romantic build up meant 23-24 45-minute long episodes with random encounters, drama, things left unsaid - which made the finales that much more enjoyable.

Not to compare too much, but look at Jim and Pam’s romance in the Office. Seasons 2 and 3 were long. It was meant to have us wanting the romance, to see every twist and turn. We had an entire episode for booze cruise, where we finally heard Jim admit it while seeing that they were obviously with the wrong people. We had entire episodes where there was reflection on just one moment of their relationship. You just can’t get that in a half-“season” 4 episode arc.

but where’s the profit if you aren’t constantly recording data for them 24/7? What, you expect them to just make a product that functions well at what it was advertised to do?

I would want smart glasses for a very, very limited sunset of things. Watching a movie on a train. Real world walking and bicycling navigation. Receiving messages in a meeting so I don’t have to check my phone. None of the glasses have done any of these well.

So they want us to buy glasses that don’t have any of these things well but also have an ai assistant because reasons. Pass.

If there are none, press “Ship”

A bit meta, but it hit home for me too. Felt like them screaming at paramount yes it’s SUPPOSED to be this. It’s supposed to be utopian, with no huge explosions and horrible situations. We want to hope, and star trek gives us that

I like that it says they are different from projects like TubeArchivist, says “read the readme for why”, and then it doesn’t have an explanation.

I’ve been using TubeArchivist for years now and it’s been great. Solid update cadence, reliable, and I have no idea why this project is different from it

That took a lot of courage, kudos to him

Because numbers like that would mean things they believe would have to be reevaluated, and that’s too hard

I found out that that’s why EVs are even more efficient with a full-on coal power plan than it is to drive around an ICE vehicle - and it kind of makes sense. With a power plant they’re going to monitor how much power is being used and try to generate the correct amount with as little waste as possible, which then of course is the electricity that goes directly to you. ICE vehicles though you’re literally hauling around a generator with your car at all times, constantly wasting energy that could be used elsewhere, never getting any true efficiency. When you start thinking that way it makes a lot of sense

Honestly I’m over the silly episodes. One musical episode in an entire season? Hilarious and a ton of fun. 5 lame “what if” scenarios in one season with only 2 or so that feel like trek? Getting annoying.

They don’t see all the ways it could have terribly gone wrong!

I did synapse about a year ago but kind of wish I had done conduit, it seems so much simpler. That being said, all of the bridges and add-ons assume you’re running synapse

I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

My recommendations:

• No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

• Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.

dont feel too bad tho, I just have to call out dad jokes

that’s so shitty, I’m sorry they stole your content. Well, if you ever decide to do one here I couldn’t promise someone wouldn’t do it, but it’d be much less likely

The only way to be a truly moral person on this planet is to not participate in society and go completely 100% off grid. Even then the Good Place did a great episode on that, and they’re right, you’re not really living then either. It’s all just about what you’re willing to put up with

So many questions! You should consider doing an ama here sometime

We all have bills at the end of the day, and I’m a firm believer that there are no moral companies. I’d love to drop everything and work for a non profit who only does good, but turns out my bank still expects me to pay the mortgage.

You weren’t talking about that, you only brought up the crypto role, you made it the title of the post. You want to talk about blue sky alone? Make a separate post about that. Her junior engineer experience in crypto is an irrelevant footnote in her career.
