I have enjoyed Gaiman’s writing, also the Sandman show was excellent, but I am glad that in this era that I’m not the type of person to be a fan of anybody. I guess it is natural to ascribe virtue and look up to people who create thing you resonate with, but there’s no reason to think someone who wrote a book is worth praising or emulating other than in the book you liked.

Thrn you realize that alien invasion stories are a (often unconscious) metaphor for colonialism from the point of view of the colonized…

I miss Jimmy :(

It was the late 80’s, I saw Robotech which used to play after school on a local UHF channel, and also Speed Racer. Probably the first more typical Anime was renting the Super Space Force Macross movie on VHS

C64 Basic, Yggdrasil Linux. I wanted to install Minix, in the pre-Linux times, but it was beyond my abilities

I just bought my first EV and he's precisely why I didn't even consider a Tesla when it came down to it. Also it helps that I want buttons on my dash and not all screen. Ended up with a Hyundai Ioniq5, it's boss.

Old enough to have bought a new C64 from Toys R Us

There is no lethal dose of LSD

I don't love musicals in particular, but aren't anti-musical, and I felt the same. The songs weren't memorable, the numbers were a bit dull, and nobody really danced much except for extras that they hired that were clearly dancers. If you're going to pull of a musical, gotta go big, SNW didn't go big.

So, the time has finally come. I want to mention that I'm not a huge fan of musicals, this translates to that tend to only watch them if external circumstances push me to watch one and I only enjoy if they're really well done. Well, circumstances have pushed me, and... it was meh.

I thought the songs weren't particularly memorable, the productions were a bit underwhelming and the dancing nearly non-existent.

That moment was when the show lost me, it was ridiculous. It reminded me of those old Art Frahm pinup posters where they depicted, against all physics and plausible circumstance, a woman's underwear suddenly dropping down around her ankles from under her dress in public.

No. In my experience Buffy was an exception, they pulled off the stunt and it managed to work within the context of a magical universe. Most of the time these shows end up falling flat at best, cringe at worst. Not sure why Star Trek feels like they need to attempt it.

I don't know if it was intentional as to be a call back to TOS, but I loved the absolutely senseless way nobody secures potentially dangerous actors that are in sick bay.

Mostly because of happenstance I have my home server running Arch. I actually do love Arch for desktop, but with the cutting edge rolling updates I have to keep on my toes during updates, I wish it was running Ubuntu.

Ever think about selling this design as a t-shirt also? I would buy one.

This is the response I was hoping to hear. I'm primarily a home-automation/self-hosted enthusiast, not necessarily a infrastructure enthusiast. As of yet, I haven't felt the need for using more involved orchestration tools/infra.

I’m curious to hear from the runners. I use compose and I feel the same, it’s more readable and editable and it allows me to backup the command by backing up the docker-compose.yml

Time Bandits. Because of that move my childhood was plagued with nightmares about little people from out of time invading my room in the middle of the night.

Hello all! I became an SDF member a couple of years ago, at the time I believe I was disillusioned with social media, probably was also in a paranoid pandemic mindset. I am very excited about Lemmy and the traction it is getting, it's a fun platform so far. I had tried Mastadon back when, but it just didn't have any hooks for me, I was never a Twitter person anyways.

I had only heard about SDF from reading comments in Hacker News. But it's really right up my alley. My first experiences on the internet was interacting through a local freenet dialup shell in the early 90's and spending way too much time on MUDs, and downloading porn on usenet for view on my fancy VGA monitor.

Back in my day you had to work for your porn and imagine your video game graphics, and that's the way it should be. :old man finger waggle:

I think I will when they do their first production run, I don’t know what I’ll do with it, I have no free time or desk space, but I think I neeeed it.
