  • In high school usb drives werent yet a thing so we had a SneakerNet using an Iomega Zip Disk.

  • Libby is a service selected by your library so you can't really choose something else cuz it's not your decision.

  • Game List from video:

  • There once was a website (a long time ago might still exist) that had links to YT copies people uploaded from their VHS. It had some in-browser IRC client and you could chat with others in sort of a watch party. Was where I saw a lot of seasons not played by Comedy Central / SciFi or Mystery Science Theater Hour.

    This was a long time ago. Like back when browsers had plugins for Shockwave. I doubt it still exists.

  • Previously worked for a major smartphone hub producers, the move to Matter was extremely chaotic. It completely changed the paradigm of how our product worked but because we needed to work well with competitors it was just something we had to suck up and do. Then the fact the company was already quite toxic and functioned due to SuperHeroDevelopers it meant a lot of us with a deep background in communications and mesh networking jumped ship.

  • I was on Digg but never much more than a super casual lurker. Like maybe hitting it up at work a few times a month. I was still on USENET most of the time so there wasn't much of a need.

  • Yeah I kept hoping when they said that they meant more like VOY or TNG but now that we get half as many episodes it's just a natural result that the arcs are more prevalent. Sadly that was not the case.

  • The first episode I saw was on The Comedy Channel/Comedy Central while staying at a hotel. I was way too young to understand the majority of the jokes but the made a couple specifically calling out places where I'm from (live in Wisconsin) that it blew my mind.

  • Some suggestions from a MiST who grew up watching them via friends recording them on VHS...

    • Mitchell (Season 5, Episode 12)
    • The Final Sacrifice (Season 9, Episode 10)
    • Pod People (Season 3, Episode 3)
    • Werewolf (Season 9, Episode 4)
    • Time Chasers (Season 8, Episode 21)
    • Overdrawn at The Memory Bank (Season 8, Episode 22)
    • Hobgoblins (Season 9, Episode 7)
    • Soultaker (Season 10, Episode 1)
    • Catalina Caper (Season 2, Episode 4)

    Some of these are available for free, some you need to get off Netflix or other places. There is a mst3k channel that plays episodes 24/7 on Pluto TV, and you can stream much of the original series (there was a revival via Kickstarter that's on Netflix and now online) via Gizmoolex.com

  • I think the communities that moved there weren't posting the same types of content. When someone wants to ask a question you just get an answer, no back and forth or debates needed. That doesn't work when you're posting a news articles looking for lively debate.

  • When the sites are bot built like the ones described here its just a matter of Large Numbers. Create a thousand permutations of porhub and if they all only get a few thousand views a day in total you've made some money.

  • Honestly the fact instances are being defederated has helped a lot. It seems to happen at a rate that doesn't seem ridiculous, not like there is a flood of garbage but still not none.

  • The way I run Gentoo would be the type of thing to break reproducibility, getting rid of features globally that I never need. I keep getting the itch to run NixOS but then I remember rebuilding my Gentoo build from scratch is a weekend task I don't have time for as I'm too frugal to actually upgrade my hardware.

  • How configurable is the build process for individual applications? I run Gentoo, have all my config files stored in a git repo which includes the defaults supplied to any application'd configure/make/make install steps.

  • Yeah I ran Arch for a little while and it was ok. Felt like it was in-between a binary and a complete source based system but lacked the configurability that makes source base work.

    As for getting time back, I setup my system to build stuff at night for upgrades, most apps took a few minutes to build as it's rare for me to not already have the vast majority of libraries already on my machine. The only things that took a long time was browsers and LibreOffice. Both of which I built when I was sleeping.

    Additionally I ran lxc on my system for situations where I had to have something now. Spin up a Debian build and install it. In the background I'd still build a Gentoo clean version and dump the Debian image once it was done.

  • Who compiles the binary in the configuration I want? What distro extract all the options out and allows me to install X11 apps without CUPS or alsa or dbus or anything else my system doesn't actually need? The point of Gentoo is to set a single config file to say "whenever you do a ./configure make sure you disable X features, enable Y features, and uses my specific compiler tunings to target a specific use case or build."

    For example I never default building apps with guis. I'd rather be able to SSH in and use everything that way if possible. I then select the very few applications that actually get their GUI interface or configuration tools built. Can't do that on binary distro.

  • I've been a Gentoo user since it first came out. I always liked the idea of buildings my entire system around my actual use case. For example I didn't own a printer so it made absolutely no sense why I'd ever install CUPS and have that service running. If you install a Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora based distro installing Firefox required CUPS. WTF?!? How does wanting to browse the Internet require printer services installed?

    Turns out there is a lot of unnecessary apps installed on your system because all the binary distro aim for maximum support. I am not generic so why install for a generic user?

  • From what I've observed it has to do with the fact most people do not know how to party, something California knoes how to do very well.

  • Oh i know, most of the subs i modded were tiny. But if you want to move why mot see if others want to join?
