For those on the fence about Borg Backup because it’s a command line app, FYI there’s a great frontend GUI for it called Vorta (yeah, in line with the Trek theme lol) that works really well. I don’t see it mentioned often, thought I’d pass that along. Might want to avoid the Flatpak version if you need to back up stuff outside your /home dir.

Yeah, but OG Cliffjumper (I’m sure you probably remember) was voiced by the legendary Casey Kasem, which is really cool. Like…this battlefield is freakin me out, I gotta transform and roll out, Scoob!

Did you mean “empathizing”? I’m having difficulty empathizing with cases like that too. I mean, ugh, it’s mind-boggling, $10k is a life-changing amount of money for most people and this guy threw it away on a video game that’s not even out yet. Still, people like him are being exploited for personal gain, and that is also wrong.

Brother has got balls of steel balancing on the roof of Pele’s house like that. Oh, I just realized this was shit over a decade ago… er, I’d imagine this kind of photographyis done with drones now?

This is beautiful. I have an old Hitchhikers’s Guide omnibus edition with gold lettering that this reminds me of. I should give the whole series another read. Thanks for posting this.

Awwww good kitty!!

This threw me off for a hot minute. I used to know a guy who went by the nickname “Vag” (with a hard “g”), so when I read this, I thought to myself, “Vag! I wonder how Vag is doing?” But you’re talking about VAG, not Vag. Now I’m just trying to cram as much vag as I can into this paragraph. So much vag. Vag vag vag. Thank you.

And now he’s STOMPING THROUGH THE BAYOU

Couch costume could use stains and maybe a dirty sock or two stuck to it, but great idea.

@papertowels@lemmy.one I’ve been working in the bash shell since 1993 and did not know sudo !! was a thing. Good lord, I no longer have to press up, press crtl-left a bunch of times, then type sudo enter space anymore. And I can give it an easy-to-remember alias like ‘resu’ or ‘redo’! Ahahaha, this changes everything! Thank you!!

Chicago, U.S. Thank you, that’s very kind of you, but I’m good. I’m actually past the worst point of the withdrawals now. Was pretty awful a few days ago, which inspired this.

Temba, his arms wide!

Ahahaha omg dude that’s hilarious

I don’t think Tailscale counts as a reverse proxy, but it does support HTTP/3 and QUIC so that suggestion may not apply here. Still, it might be worth double-checking to see if they are disabled. Also, have you tried disabling Tailscale altogether and connecting directly?

the song will abruptly stop playing at about the 1 quarter mark (only skipping the song or restarting will fix)

You aren’t the only one to report halted playback in Navidrome. It appears to be a known open issue that goes back a few years.

One user in particular suggested last fall that the source of the bug may not be Navidrome’s fault. Are you using a reverse proxy?

For those that are still struggling with this issue, I can confirm that (in my case) the problem was related to the HTTP/3 QUIC protocol (not a Navidrome issue). As suggested by a few others in this thread, the issue can be addressed by ensuring that your reverse proxy supports and is configured for HTTP/3 QUIC, or by turning off the QUIC protocol on the client side (browser configuration), or by disabling HTTP/3 (with QUIC) feature on Cloudflare.

You know what, you’re right. I’ll make sure child me from 30 years ago doesn’t do it again.

I picked up Tekworld #1 eons ago, back when I was a young voracious comic book collector and would buy anything off the “New” shelf. I never bothered to read it…I figured it couldn’t be worse than TJ Hooker, but it appears I was terribly mistaken. I’m sorry I contributed to this shitty franchise, I thought it would be worth a fortune when I got old (it’s not).

Also, wrt:

I’m not sure how thankful I should be that someone made William Shatner’s TekWar more accessible to me, but at least I didn’t struggle with PGUP and PGDN to move my virtual neck.

Yeah, thank your lucky stars that gaming with a mouse became a fuckin thing, because hitting PGUP and PGDN to pan up & down sucked back then too.

Whoa, trippy. Your comments all have an orange-brown background?

edit: oh wow, mine too.

!tenforward@lemmy.world for all your Trek meme needs. O’Brien must suffer!
