That’s awesome. Thanks for posting the pics and assembly.

I did an MBA a few years into my professional career, and I think overall it was a great deal. I was fortunate enough to have it paid for by my employer at the time. That particular program was geared toward working professionals, so the classroom time was just evenings and weekends. It checked the box for me being able to say I have a graduate degree on job applications, so I’d say it was worth it.

Good for them.

Anyone remember that Outer Limits episode about this? They thought the teleporter malfunctioned, but it really just failed to destroy the source “copy” of the girl at the point of origin. Since she also appeared at destination, the station operator had to flush the original out of the airlock.

TLDR- Would totally use it.

Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here’s a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

The ysalamiri! Yes indeed.

This is me. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is one of my favorite book series. I read every bit of the old EU I could get my hands on in the 90s. Quality definitely varies across different books and authors, but I think that era of content is worthwhile if you’re a Star Wars fan.

Having grown up with TNG, hard agree. If we get to a Starfleet-style space navy, then I’m in.

Journey, and more recently Tunic, both had soundtracks that complemented their gameplay really well.

Yeah I mean it’s gotta be Quark and it’s not close. He also became the de-facto representative of life outside the Federation & Starfleet, which was one of the things DS9 really leaned in to.

He’s back in the game! Hyped.

Would be great to see some sustained support for this kind of infrastructure. I had the opportunity to go to Tokyo, and one of the things that amazed me the most was the (train-based) public transportation system.

Definitely yes. I enjoy seeing the technical and administrative updates.

The Freespace games are legendary in that genre. Probably second only to TIE Fighter.

That’s awesome to hear. I’m looking to set up some self-hosted stuff, and I see a lot of recommendations for Tailscale for the VPN element.
