ELI5 the back story to Dune the movie, or just maybe Dune, never watched it but always wanted to. in c/explainlikeimfive@lemmy.world
[–] 2 points 3 weeks ago

The planet Dune is special, because only there Spice, the most important chemical in the universe, is found.

Several noble families and organizations battle to gain control over the Spice.

---SPOILERS below for parts 1 & 2 of the series---

One of the families is set up to be murdered, but their young son survives. He is rescued by the planet's locals.

These locals are fierce, and they are many.

---SPOILERS for part 3 & the rest of the books---

Lead by the noble son, the local people rise up and conquer the universe. The son becomes the new emperor.

He realizes that the universe – and mankind – is vulnerable because of the single source of Spice. Under the influence of Spice, he sees and enforces a Golden Path, which will eventually ensure mankind's survival but destroy the empire.

    What is an upstream server ? in c/no_stupid_questions@programming.dev
    [–] 2 points 5 months ago (1 child)

    If you request data from a server, chances are that your server needs to request that data from another server - which is 'upstream'.

    There can be multiple upstream servers involved in responding to your single request

    A Guide To Flags With Hearts in c/vexillology@lemmy.world
    [–] 6 points 6 months ago

    The flag from the thumbnail is that of Fryslân, nowadays a Dutch province.

    It does not show hearts! The red parts are 'pompeblêden' (leaf of the water lily), and should specifically not be heart shaped according to the official instruction for creating the flag.

    StatblockWizard can now be installed as an app ("PWA") on systems that support this.

    If installed as an app on a desktop type computer from Chrome, Edge, or Opera, StatblockWizard can also be set as the default handler for files having the .statblockwizard extension. This means that such a file can be launched to automatically open StatblockWizard and show the selected stat block.

    On supported systems, the default filename of saved stat blocks is changed from .statblockwizard.json to .statblockwizard - but there is no difference in the inner structure of created files. Using the UI to load/upload a file now accepts both the old and the new naming convention.
