I think Strange New Worlds season 1 is a strong contender for best Star Trek season. Though it has the advantage that it is a shorter season than most.

I’ve also recently gone this way. I used my old gaming PC motherboard, ram, and CPU. Put Ubuntu server on it and it’s been running great. Mine is running in software raid5 and has room for 7 drives (though I’m only using 3 at the moment). I did put a gtx1650 in it for Plex transcoding and that works great as well.

Lab Gopher is a great way to check out eBay listings for used servers.

Everyone here talking about CoD and all I want to know is how Star Fox on SNES beat out GoldenEye in 1997.

Thanks for the recommendation. I added watchtower to my docker compose config.

I’ve been struggling figuring it out for the first time in a home server. Without understanding how a config file works it seems like magic.

I’ve had a rough time getting permissions to work right for each container and am still not entirely sure how upgrades work. Though I do have to admit that once I had it set up once, moving it to a new server when I changed operating systems was much easier than the initial set up.

It’s my first time running any kind of containerization service, and my first time running a Linux server (though I’ve used Linux off and on for over a decade) so maybe it’s just how new the idea is to me.

The red shirt part of the joke is referring to TOS exclusively because it was so prevalent. But really it’s a larger trope found across lots of different shows and genres. They may not wear red shirts but you’ll know them when you see them.

I think it’s a great joke and has stood the test of time. You should try watching TOS before proclaiming that the joke doesn’t work.

I went back and played (and beat) Super Metroid finally a few years ago. It was an amazing experience that I’m sorry I missed out on as a kid, but I don’t think I would have had the patience to beat it then. I ended up on a Metroid binge after that. Played the Samus Returns remake and Dread, and am currently playing the Prime remake. I think Metroid has been stuck in niche consoles for so long a lot of folks haven’t been exposed so I appreciate the remakes.

I missed NES games almost entirely. I was exposed to Super Mario (at friend’s houses for a few minutes at a time) and literally nothing else until decades later. I would have liked to have played the greats like Mega Man, Metroid, or Zelda.

I think I really would have liked to have played Zelda the most. I loved ALttP but imagine I would have loved the first one a lot too. It’s really hard to go back now when my experience of newer games sets my expectations. I still get frustrated today trying to navigate and survive when playing it.

I also completely missed out on Sega, but to this day I still don’t feel like I missed out on much.

I feel like I almost completely missed out on PC gaming from the late 80s to the early 2000s. I played a few mil-sim games from Novalogic and Jane’s but that was about it.

I wasn’t exposed to an FPS until half-life was a few years old. My first real gaming PC was built for Half-Life 2.

I totally missed Doom, Quake, Descent, Diablo, System Shock, Deus Ex, Wolfenstein, Fallout. I didn’t even know about Elder Scrolls, Myst, Riven, Maniac Mansion (or any of the other Lucasfilm or Tim Schafer games like it).

I did catch some lower spec games like Sim City, StarCraft, Worms, etc., But it seemed like none of them really caught my attention longer than a few hours. I was mostly interested in SNES and PS1 around that time I guess.
