This is the problem with modern TV shows. We only have 10 episode seasons now vs the 20+ long ones from the TNG era. If these were all episodes in a season that lasted 20 episodes I doubt we would be seeing as many complaints, but as it is 10 episodes does not leave much room for any change of pace mid season. This season, while in my opinion was quite well written, was a little all over the place and didn't really seem to have a lot of direction. It really bounced around a lot, which wouldn't be a problem as much if there was 20 episodes to work with, but when you only have 10 its hard to justify some of the "fun" or experimental episodes.

As an aside. My least favourite episode "This is Starfleet" was also my favourite story in the season and if it was shot as a normal episode I think would have probably be my favourite of the series so far. It really captured the "Classic Trek" vibe for me.

I kinda started a "seedbox" for at least my niche torrents. Most of the mainstream things I download I don't normally leave to seed that long as there's already plenty seeding, but a lot of the documentaries or other things that only have single or double digits seeding I'll make a copy and leave it to seed for a while. I used to host my Plex server from that PC and when I build my new dedicated server I left the storage intact, but transferred my whole library over, so I have a large amount of unused space doing nothing else.

I'm also fairly new to all this. I'm now using Jellyfin for selfhosting. What's the benefit of enencoding everything?

A lot of people are also questioning why they even have a home PC now. Their Win 10 machine is "out of date" and they need to replace it or else, but their cell phone now does much of what their PC did. Instead of installing Linux and learning a whole new OS, they just cut out their PC and just use their phone.

Here's the link to the docker I used. There are a few others on github, but this one seemed like it was the most actively updated.

I liked slskd perfectly fine once I got it going, but I couldn't get my partner to use it as she was used to nicotine and didn't like the new interface. Once the Docker was set up in Portainer there was very little additional configuration and the rest was inside the nicotine webui app.

Instead of slskd I recommend using nicotine+. I found slskd worked fine, but was a pain to set up. I found a Nicotine docker that works just like the app inside a web UI. Much less of a learning curb for someone who's not familiar with servers.

I feel like this could have been a great episode, if it wasn't a documentary and was just written as a normal episode. Most of the quirks of the documentary really distracted me and I felt like they got in the way a bit.

I really like this slightly more chill La'an. John de Lancie was not expected. So If Trelane is now implied to be Q jr, is this episode supposed to take place before we see him in Voyagers Q2? He does come off as more of an immature teen in voyager, whereas in this and in TOS he's quite more childish, especially when he's challenged in both Trelane episodes.

I do look forward to seeing Erika do more than just "Fly the ship," but I really wish it was literally anything other than the exact same thin La'an has been dealing with. She's talked about being on the Klingon front a lot, why not tie it into that. I do like seeing a slightly more chill La'an and really think her and Spock pair together well as friends, but I do hope they don't throw in more romance at spock with her.

Maybe we could get Captain Una? New ship and she could take the crew that we don't see in TOS with her. Possibly have Kirk and crew crossovers.

I didn't realize how truely frustrated I was with windows until I switched a few months ago. I realize now that most of my recent windows troubleshooting was trying to make windows stop doing things I didn't want it to. Now most of my Linux troubleshooting is just learning how to get Linux to do things I actually want it to do, which is actually quite satisfying.

Also I think Tesla stock went up a bit since this whole thing started. Muskrat might just be trying to distance himself from Trump to save Tesla's sales numbers.

I switched over about 2 months ago after I couldn't get an older game to play after a windows update and kinda just rage quit Windows. It was building for a while, but in the end it was just a little thing that brought it tumbling down. Game worked perfectly fine with proton without any problems or tinkering. I've only had trouble getting a couple games working, and neither are big deal breakers.
