It's perfect.

We're working on promoting that Stem Bolt. It recently got an excellent recommendation from Admiral Janeway.

Indeed. Lactose tolerance is a powerful mutation. The rest of us should fear them for their superior genes.

Edit: Queue rocking 90s X-Men cartoon theme song.

I can imagine it would be hard to maintain lactose tolerance with a dairy allergy.

"millionaires tax" is such a ludicrous misnomer.

This is a tax on people with over $1 million income annually. It's very hard to sink as low as becoming a mere "millionaire" on $1 million annual income.

A person making $1 million in income would need mutliple expensive hobbies, multiple nasty drug habits and to recklessly sink a few yachts, just to drop as low in net worth as a humble jeans-wearing crime-avoiding salt-of-the-earth "millionaire".

An average chap who spent 40 years owning a small lawn mowing business is a millionaire. This tax doesn't touch his money, at all.

I guess "multimillionaire" and "decamillionaire" don't roll off the tongue, in headlines, though.

At least he still outranks Ensign Kim.

"Follow my path and you'll be fine."

Later, at a Republic Tribunal:

"... and obviously no sane pilot on a training mission would ever consider attempting to navigate those obstactles without weeks of study in advance. And so I exhort the jury not to consider leniency, but to find the defendant guilty of first degree premeditated murder of their wingman pilot in training. The prosecution rests this - quite frankly open-and-shut - case."

Have you ever been to PowerShell Summit? It's the only nerd conference I've ever attended where only about half the attendees actually realized they are nerds at a nerd conference. I love the vibe. It's got style and pizzazz.

That said, the added entry for PowerShell would still be: "You are a nerd."

Well shit. It's got me dead to rights on a couple of these.

I think my favorite tale from this book is the one with the two belligerent assholes (who confront Luke and then ObiWan), being various forms of belligerent and assholes in other contexts. It's surreal, but fitting.

It's beautiful. Now I'm picturing this on a throw pillow, paired with "You're out of your element!"

 

My apologies if my search skills missed this.

Is there a list of Lemmy (and/or Mastodon) Instances that have already committed to blocking and/or defederating from Threads?

Thanks!

 

Let's have a quick support thread for folks whose hearts were broken by Bernard Cribbin's final performance on Doctor Who.

Rest in Peace, sir. You made our stars twinkle a bit brighter.

I got a Synology Network Attached Storage (NAS) device, and a week later I'm using it for photo backup, shared Excel files with my spouse, and to run some home security cameras.

Since the NAS is on my home network z I'm realizing I'm going to miss being able to access these services out and about, like I could when I was using cloud services.

Does anyone have experience sharing Synology NAS functionality on the broader Internet?

For some context, I know enough not to do anything really foolish.

But what I don't know is what ways have worked best for others to access their Synology remotely?

Anyone using their Synology behind an inbound Virtual Private Network (VPN)? Anyone just making it routable with strong passwords over IPV6? Maybe with a simple Web Application Firewall (WAF) to limit traffic to what is expected? Anyone using Synology's cloud for this stuff?

I would like to setup something, and would love to benefit from your experiences.

Edit: Tailscale turned out to be a bit more than I need, so I ended up using Synology's built-in support for OpenVPN combined with Synolgoy's built-in support for Dynamic DNS (DDNS). I did have to do some pinhole routing, which I understand would not have been needed with Tailscale.

 

For those of us running GrapheneOS, Beware that the latest update to the Target store app for Android requires Google Services Framework (GSF) and does not work properly on GrapheneOS, even, apparently, with the compatibility layer enabled.

Fluff piece confirming the app was rewritten

If you use Aurora app store, you can download the previous, still functional, version using this version code:

versionCode 1906002333

This version can only be installed via Aurora after uninstalling the newer version.

Update: The un-updated app no longer functions for me. That was fast (2 weeks).

 

So we're at 8 users per month and 2 total posts. I've joined other introvert communities with less committed introverts.

I'm kind of joking, but also kind of just sincerely think it's pretty great. And I feel like the 7 of you will understand and appreciate that.

I've grown fond of not talking with all of you daily. I'll go back to leaving you all alone now.

 

I've been revisiting some classic Playstation 1 games, and many of them hold up.

I didn't have access to the larger gamer community when I first played these games, so it's been fun to re-discover them through the eyes of the gamer community.

I've learned secrets, strategies and stories about how these games are developed.

I've also learned - apparently many of you hated Twisted Metal III.

While I don't argue against Twisted Metal II as the high water mark, here's my hot take: Twisted Metal III was a perfectly serviceable sequel and provided more fun for those of us who overplayed II so much that we even beat the game as Grasshopper and Roadkill.

So I'm curious - is it just vocal minority or most of you who felt let down by Twisted Metal III?
