I’m not 100% sure. I consider Dune closer to a space opera than Ender’s Game. Dune is has a lot of soft fantastical elements over detailed physics. Enders game also has a few fantastical elements, like instant FTL, but it so neatly fits in military sci-fi and I would describe it that way. But these are mostly my own biases, rather than any deep considerations.

My understanding is a space opera is where space serves as a backdrop or theme to the story, as opposed to hard sci-fi where the the science is more forthright. Space operas focus heavy on character development and adventure, that just happen to be in space.

I get the frustration, but I don’t think its fair to direct it at tourists. I don’t believe for a second that the protestors aren’t at times tourists themselves, and it’s hard to see what directing abuse at random tourists visiting for a week, with no emotional investment or control of Spain’s rental system, could possibly achieve.

Airbnb has been allowed to run unregulated in pretty much every market. Naturally this hurts areas where tourism is a major industry more than others–so again, I get the frustration. But geez, channel that back to people who can actually fix it rather than yelling at foreigners.

EDIT: Sorry I should add, I’m referring to not just this piece of graffiti, but also the similar posts that seem to appear on lemmy every few days.

I have an LG OLED from about 8 years ago, and I do some rather pronounced burn in. I was also rather careful about leaving anything fixed on the screen. I have some friends with a slightly newer panel and they too have burn in. So maybe lucky? Or maybe your generation of panel is less susceptible than mine.

That said, I’m about to renovate my house, and when I’m done I’ll consider buying another OLED panel. Worth it in my opinion.

Thank you

Nice artwork. You don’t happen to know the name of the artist?

I second Cold Forge—really captured the alien universe quite nicely. I didn’t get much from Into The Charybdis though.

Maybe there’s more to it, but I really don’t get the last note about Tidal: Essentially, if you use Tidal, you should know the CEO is has a large ego and is a crypto bro.

I’m sure he’s very annoying, but I’m not inviting him to my house for dinner.

Thank you for sharing. I loved your June list.

I needed a good laugh with all that’s happening in the world. Thank you.

I use authentik and like it. The learning curve isn’t that steep so not a lot of wasted investment if you decide to ditch it for something else. No password flow with webauthn is pretty cool.

Same here, I would rarely see a satellite and mostly only during dusk. Two nights ago I was participating in a star gazing activity as par of a birthday party and it’s busy up there now

I wonder if this is some play by her to get trump to swoop in and save her.

IMO, you want ram more than you want processing power. 16 gig ought to be enough. Most of the time your containers will sit dormant and just consume memory. However since you want to run Jellyfin, get a recent CPU which can do hardware decoding of popular codecs. There’s charts online that show what generation can handle what codecs. Ideally you don’t want that done by software. You should still be able to find something cheap.

In terms of placement. It depends a lot on noise IMO. If you’re running something small without magnetic storage, you’re probably fine to stick it anywhere. If you have several data-centre grade hard drives, you will probably want to keep it somewhere where you wont hear it all day.

In terms of upgrading, I’m not sure if its as much of a concern as you might think. I run probably about 30 docker containers off a NUC clone and a seperate NAS, and that has worked pretty well for the last few years. I can always add more drives to the NAS, but otherwise its fine. Also, many of my services scale to zero with sablier+traefik, and I schedule filesharing for low bandwidth times. This makes things pretty manageable.

When asked how he could admire an airforce general despite being a pacifist, MLK jr responded "I judge people by their own principles – not by my own.” Judge that redditor by the principle of someone whose career is helping children but instead exploits them.

I agree it doesn’t matter how many children he’s helped. I’ve heard from my Hindu friends that good deeds won’t naturalise bad Karma. Im not religious and don’t believe in karma, but I think this is well grounded. It doesn’t matter how many children he has helped, it doesn’t change the fact that he has damaged so many others for sexual gratification.

The guys a vile worm, and think you’re right to judge him.

It really was the best out of all the homms. I still play it too. Absolute perfection of a game.

Boulders Gate? I know And I have it, along with a few other editions. I’ve just never get past the first tavern without losing interest. Which is strange because I was hooked when I first played it.

California games takes me back. That was a classic!

• Space Invaders I feel like I should include one of the classic games I played in the 80s. You never forget your first, and I played this more than any others and it influenced my career as an adult. However I think 10 mile hike, burger time, breakout and pacman are better.
• Heroes of Might and Magic 3 My room mates would hotseat games while watching movies. A lot of fond memories
• Factorio Probably played more than any other game
• Golden Axe Warrior Not to be confused with Golden Axe. This was a Zelda clone on the Sega Master System. One of the best games on that platform IMO.
• Boulders gate 1 Besides golden axe warrior the only other RPG I really got into. Unfortunately I wiped my hard drive with a game that I had been playing for months and I just couldn’t get back into it after that.
