"Life forms. You precious little lifeforms. You tiny little lifeforms. Where are you?"

- Lt. Cmdr Data, Star Trek: Generations

  • It always bugs me when a character makes this mistake, which happens WAY TOO OFTEN

  • "IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII'LL TAKE YOU HOOOOOOEEEEEM AAAAAAAAAAAGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIN, KATHLEEN!"

  • Wretched hive and all that

  • Don’t forget: Star Trek V did knock off Mos Eisley first.

    At least they did it better than Star Trek III’s excuse for seedy space bar with a couple arcade machines, relatively well-clothed women (relative to Quark’s or the weird cat lady in V, at least), and lots of Starfleet officers ready to report anything shady going on.

    Overall, the occasional campy imitation of Star Wars locations is a time-honored Trek.

    Now, when Star Wars starts looking like Star Trek, it’s usually horrible. Take The Acolyte for instance; you could already tell the show wasn’t great by its crappy set design. This is supposed to be a seedy cargo ship, but it’s so clean that you’d think you’re on a Federation starship. This lack of attention to detail foreshadows the show’s further failures that lead to me giving up 2 or 3 episodes in.

  • A happy follow-up to a formerly one-off TOS species

  • If you notice, the Dulhanians all wear golden cuffs on their necks, which the parents of the family are also wearing, while the Vaalians do not have them.

    Also, the Vaalians have distinct cheek patterns, which the family lacks.

  • Flatpak Pre-Installation Approaches

  • From what I can tell, you wouldn't use it instead of Ansible or another automation system, but rather just support for a config file you can plot in to make setting up automation with any automation system easier by allowing you to put it into a file rather than a gigantic Flatpak install command.

  • A happy follow-up to a formerly one-off TOS species

  • Are we sure the bottom ones aren’t just Dulhanians from LD s3e2 “The Least Dangerous Game”?

    Star Trek sure has a lot of ruddy blonde scantily clad alien species.

  • New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code

  • You know, GNOME does some stupid stuff, but I can respect them for this.

  • Extremely slow boot time

  • I’d just recommend checking hard drive SMART scores and stuff like that. Maybe run a memory test as well.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • If you scroll down in journalctl, it can go later in time. Also, you can check different boots by changing the b parameter, with -b 0 being the current boot, -b -1 being the previous boot, b -2 being the boot before that, etcetera.

    For UFW, I'd just try unblocking the Proton ports if it says they're blocked in Proton settings. Also, check to make sure you don't have two firewalls installed; while this once again shouldn't crash the system, my PC did some very weird things when both UFW and firewalld were installed.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • Alright then. That probably eliminates the lp thing. Can I ask: what journalctl command (or logging command in general, if not journalctl) did you use? I'd recommend giving the results of journalctl -b -1 -p 3 and dmesg.

    Also, it'd probably be a good idea to tell us what ports are getting blocked; that shouldn't be personally identifying in any way. After doing research on what those ports are and what ProtonVPN requires, try experimenting with unblocking some of them if you can; a blocked port shouldn't crash your system, but it's worth a shot.

    I might also recommend looking at a task manager, just to make sure some application isn't taking up all your memory and causing the system to freeze.

    Finally, take a look at your CPU temps in case this is some kind of cooling failure.

  • Permanently Deleted

  • I don't think it's ProtonVPN, at least not directly, as those happened over 20 minutes before the crash (I'm assuming it happened somewhere around 9:32:30)

    That last one looks really odd, and I'm wondering what that kernel module is used for. I'm looking around real quick.

    EDIT: Looks like it's for line printers. I'm trying to think why your kernel would randomly load that. Can we see the contents of the following?:

    • /etc/modules-load.d/modules.conf
    • /usr/lib/modules-load.d/modules.conf
    • /usr/local/lib/modules-load.d/modules.conf (if it exists)
    • /run/modules-load.d/modules.conf (if it exists)

    Also, can you give us more information about your hardware, just to be sure?

  • I hate X11

  • xkcd 1085:

  • Mix and match Linux distributions with Distrobox

  • Interesting project, but not pulling me off XFCE terminal.

    The name sounds like a Romulan senator, though.

  • He just wanted to be a Space Dentist

  • No, not Santa.

  • Discord gets improvements for video on Linux PCs and Steam Deck

  • At least they provide an official Flatpak now.

    Also, this isn't an official repository, but https://github.com/palfrey/discord-apt works pretty good for me. If you look at the source code for the fetching script and the Github Workflows, you can see that they just pull directly from the Discord website, and comparing file hashes further confirms it. I no longer use it since the official Flatpak is an option now, but it's still useful.

  • Venturing into the world of black teas, I finally decided to try Earl Grey

  • “Attempt to calculate answer to your question: Why you want dried leaves in boiling water.”

    “Because I happen to like it. That’s why.”

  • The joys of childhood

  • Let’s give him a statuette of Gul Dukat called “National Award for Supreme Attainment in Bajoran Statue Nonextancy”.

  • Star Trek writers explaining how they got their ideas

  • Although we haven’t really started it yet beyond session 0 yet, the chief medical officer I made in Star Trek Adventures campaign I have with my siblings is a Pandronian who really hates being asked about the three parts thing.

  • Star Trek writers explaining how they got their ideas

  • Oh, my gosh. That video is hilarious. Makes the episode 10 times funnier, and it was already beautifully campy to begin with.

    And don’t forget the sequel episode in TAS, in which the planet tries to kill them because it’s depressed about its creator dying. Although it’s not as hilarious an episode as the one where Captain Kirk literally defends the human rights of Satan.
