I agree with you. Thinking on it, I wonder if that's only a season 1 premise and they'll eventually get beyond that.

Now what would make it really interesting (but they probably won't do) is if this comedy had a backdrop of a weakened postwar Dominion a.k.a this resort planet is in the Gamma Quadrant. It would be very interesting to use it to explore the new power structures that develop in the quadrant since the weakened power of the Founders. You could also showcase how Alpha quadrant polities interact with Dominion worlds (kind of like what we saw with the Karemma in LD "Hear All, Trust Nothing") - we have an episode with Federation diplomats at the resort negotiating a trade deal, for instance (this could even be our excuse to bring in an LD character or two).

Clevis pretty much does TPM encryption and is in most distros' repos. I use it on my Thinkpad. It would be nice if it had a GUI to set it up; more distros should have this as a default option.

You do have to have an unencrypted boot partition, but the issues with this can at least in be mitigated with PCR registers, which I need to set up.

That might me it - when I search older media, say The Andy Griffith show, sure enough there are a crap ton of plates.

It might be a sort of Venn diagram thing - Trek/Wars plates came at the dusk of the commemorative plate era, while the fans were more likely than others to buy collectibles like plates, making them seem unique from other fandoms.

Do attempts without Windows as the first step count e.g running Windows in QEMU on Wine on Linux?

Also, depending on which version of WSL you used, you might be breaking your own rule with WSL on VMs since WSL2 uses Hyper-V. You might also be breaking it again with QEMU.

What actually counts as "VM software"? Are you defining it as a hypervisor, or does, for instance, emulating Linux on ARM in an emulator of a RISC V system in an emulator of a PowerPC system break the rule. In addition, do you mean consecutive VM software steps, or could I for instance emulate an ARM CPU that supports hypervisors and run a VM software in there?

I'm an XFCE guy. I find XFCE to be nice and fast. It's decently light - not the absolute lightest, but most of its installation size is from dependencies you were going to install anyway like GTK.

For now, it's still on xorg, but I think they're working on it.

Xfce

I think I meant to put TWOK, for Wrath of Khan. TOK was an IB class I took in high school, so my brain defaulted to that.

Reminds me of how my SSDs (both literally brand new) kept spitting out error messages in smartctl. As it turned out, this was a smartctl bug and I was able to install the Debian backports version to get a version with the fix.

Honestly, no. I just use direct apt commands on my Debian installs for native stuff, assuming I even use the shell for that; sometimes, if it's not a complex update that's going to hold back 1.0*10^6^ packages, I just use Synaptic or Package Updater, frankly, as one of those is what I have my XFCE Package Update Indicator set to use on any machine I use frequently and it's convenient sometimes.

As for Flatpaks, I just run the flatpak update command whenever I feel bored. I wish Warehouse GUI supported updating, just because I find it really weird that's excluded from an otherwise pretty slick application that gets rid of me having to muck through the Flathub.

I don't write Rust code at the moment, and as for Python, I'm either using the Debian version of Python packages or scattered venvs that follow a de facto standard for Python developers: "What's an update?"

"Such an amateur lack of focus and balance."

Have you seen the VOY one they did as well of the salamander Tom Paris episode?

TAS really is (besides maybe that weird stuff with the inflatable Enterprise, giant Spock, or that iffy bit of chauvinism in "The Slaver Weapon") a great TOS continuation. I loved The Lorelei Signal for giving Uhura and Chapel the opportunity to be girl bosses.

On a bit of a tangential note, I hope we get some excuse to see young April. It kind of makes me sad that STA is going to be set in the 32nd century and not the peaceful yet mysterious 2290s-2330s period. I feel like you could have just depicted academy life without all the "save the universe drama" (okay, maybe just a little, but not every episode) while following the late careers of a few officers like April or Sulu.

Especially the beginning part.

DS9, but I also have a fondness for LD.

I gotta agree with Magic Carpet Ride, but otherwise, I enjoy that weird campy music Fear plays in VOY: The Thaw.
