  • Gonna just stream of consciousness some stuff here:

    Been thinking lately, especially as I have been self-hosting more, how much work is just managing data on disk.

    Which disk? Where does it live? How does the data transit from here to there? Why isn’t the data moving properly?

    I am not sure what this means, but it makes me feel like we are missing some important ideas around data management at personal scale.






  • There is no other battle shown in Star Trek to rival the time given to the one in Khan.

    Off the top of my head there are incidences of ships being behind moons, in weird places they wouldn’t expect, etc. It’s just not a) discussed nearly as much on screen or b} shown on screen.

    When we do see big battles, they are in 3d - Wolf 359 comes to mind.

    I think you are correct that Khan is explicit and gives it a lot of punch, but I would argue we shouldn’t be too quick to say they almost never deal with 3d/zero g.

    (who remembers Klingon’s blood is pink?)
