“And I will see my dream come alive at last / I will touch the sky”
“Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?”
- Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations
“And I will see my dream come alive at last / I will touch the sky”
Coolio, but I won’t be using it at least until it hits Debian Testing. Hopefully this can be in Trixie - looks like the freeze hasn’t happened yet.
“His neural engram structures are experiencing rapid total depolarization. Get me the dineurotrocacaline hypospray, quick!”
Man, making up nonsense Treknobabble is fun. 😏
Funny, but the truth is most warp cores from 2375 have secretly been powered by the suffering of transporter clones of Miles O’Brien made without his knowledge while he taught at the academy. Eventually, when people found out what actually powered ships sometime before the 31st century, O’Brien warp propulsion was retired and dilithium was brought back into use.
I don’t know that I’ve used enough handheld Linux devices to say. The only major one was I had Debian on my Surface Go 1. Power management never worked quite right - after a few suspends, I’d get these weird graphics glitches and have to reboot.
Also, I kind of hated the keyboard- it wasn’t very sturdy and often flexed, causing accidental trackpad clicks.
I still have the device, but when I need a portable Linux machine, I just go to my Thinkpad these days, which other than installing the backports kernel for Wi-Fi support and then adjusting the modprobe.d entry because it was Realtek pretty much just goes brrrr - even my desktop gave more of fuss, as I used to be in a room without ethernet and needed a card that worked with Windows, Linux, and Hackintosh (from before I got rid of my Windows install and my Hackintosh SSD conked out, leading me to switch to virtualization).
I got the Worf one and a mini-Spock for Christmas (sitting here in my bathroom cabinet):
I love the Janeway one, though, one of which I gifted to my mother a few years back.
I swear it’s one of the top episodes in the franchise now.
Also, according to an okudagram shown close up by someone who worked on it, Harry is a lieutenant during Prodigy.
Miles O’Brien in the chair after a field commission to captain on an engineering vessel: “Time to suffer, I guess.”
(Personally, though, I head cannon that O’Brien eventually gets the nickname “Non-com Admiral”.)
MariaDB for the win!
He also is oddly enraged about Debian including slightly old versions of Xscreensaver in stable. I get his reasons - dumb people will submit bug reports for things that might already be fixed - but also, Debian has a promise to keep and is well within their rights since the software is FOSS.
Not quite. Upon a Google, it looks like they are hacks, but Wayland doesn’t support programs (like the Xscreensaver daemon) blanking the screen and would need a standard to do so.
However, these screensavers are just individual binaries that the daemon executes, so although they won’t pop up automatically, you should still be able to run and enjoy them as fun little graphics demos.
Cool. In a little over a month, I hit 3 years.
Ah, you must be an ice man. 😁
Fun Fact: These noises actually comprised much of the background “whir” for TNG. People were used to tuning it out when watching TNG, but were confused when they heard it during one of the DS9 episodes where Alexander came back since they hadn’t heard it for a while.
Loved when LD:Crisis Point: Rise of Vindicta poked fun at this.
Although honestly, moderately enjoy at least the first Abramsverse film - not peak Trek, but fun enough. For a while, I thought Pine was the best Kirk performance in the franchise, but then SNW Kirk grew on me with the La’an episode and I think it’s tied.
But transporter-cloning Tuvix and and splitting one gets THREE allies. 🤭
If it doesn’t simulate a connected monitor, it looks like there are little HDMI shims that do called EDID emulators that are available for relatively cheap.
Obviously, you hang in the castle for a bit so you can go over to the ion storm later with a full understanding of context.
I probably shouldn’t have thrown in the word “now”; what I meant to say is FOSS formats are so good that the existence of RAR is ridiculous.
Depends on which Khitomer - the original accords (probably most notable) were because of the whole Praxis incident.
