Season 3 Thoughts and comments

The shadows being agents of Chaos and the Vorlon agents of order was a interesting pitch in the finale. Not sure they motivated why the shadows care about "evolving" the younger races at all? Still not clear on what this war is all about yet.

It is weird earth has been so quiet

The checkov psycop seems to have totally disappeared

There are some good mysterboxes lined up.

Get a no-annual fee credit card from a major bank or credit union. Keep it open, only use it once a month to keep it open, never close it, and it will help your credit rating long term.

Do a frequency scan, choose a 5ghz band, narrowest band you can, that isn't being used, (don't use 2.4ghz, 5ghz attenuates the fastest). If your router supports DFS, use a DFS channel

ok.... so our friendly OP can use their router without turning on the radios and everyone is happy? let's advise that then

Happily the 2.4Ghz and 5Ghz bands are unlicensed and open for public use.

Nothing our OP said indicated they wanted to run WiFi, but even if they did, they could choose a less noisy channel.

Nothing in the click through agreement talked about radios, or bands.

Any body could turn their phone into a cellular hotspot, or have a starlink hotspot, and that is nobody elses business. This is no different.

Letting the network dictate what you can run in your own home is MaBell levels of authoritarianism, but more to the point, its unenforceable ( You can always take a page out of how to hotspot book - Router runs a always on vpn and the lan side only goes out over the VPN, so DPI just seeds the router, and the TTL is as expected)

Season 3 - Episode 12 - Sic Transit Vir

Space Karen makes her appearance, quite unbothered by empathy for the Narns. Probably not a good match for our kind hearted Vir.

I'm with you, but how is using your own router messing that up?

On the WAN side, its just a dhcp client, just like any other laptop/xbox etc

It's not reasonable for a ISP to dictate what CPE can be used on the network, as long as the CPE does not break the network, and routers are fairly well behaved clients by design.

Just from a data hygiene and security perspective, you don't want to put your own computer directly into a bigger network, safter to be behind your own router.

Ignorance is strength.

Pretend you never saw it, plug your router in, and don't worry about it.

If they do ask questions, you just made a innocent assumption.

Season 3 - Episode 10 - Severed Dreams

What a absolute triumph of storytelling payoff.

The start of season 3 we see the civil war boil over to a point of no return, the shadows are acting more brazenly through their proxies.

In Episode 10 we have 2 season of buildup starting to come together and pay off, in a absolutely captivating and thrilling way. no single minute of screen time was wasted in this episode.

Babylon 5 is now independent, no turning back, it lives and dies by diplomacy now with no earth support.

We had first civil war, but what about second civil war? The membari also are divided and the religious casts come to the aid of B5.

no watch guide, just the episodes in order.

season 3 is really heating up, the civil war and all the setup in seasons 1 and 2... No filler episodes in this season

I just finished S3E10... what a banger! https://hackertalks.com/comment/4911396

This makes up for every filler episode i watched before, i'm totally thrilled, the storytelling power here is amazing.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 13 hours ago

its very cathartic, but it is a bit like casting a message in a bottle. Once I finish b5 I don't think I'll do another mega watch thread

 

7/10, no notes

I've decided to do my first Babylon 5 rewatch!

Lets have a binge thread to talk about B5!

I would love to find a 4k remaster of the series, there are some great demo videos on youtube, but on the streaming sites I can only find 720p. If you have any trouble choosing which streaming service to use just search for fmhy and they will have a curated list of options.

TV shows were wild back then, 22 episodes per season, 45 minutes each; 1000 minutes per season!

Watch the film, don't read the plot synopsis!

Scifi, future, humanity themes

Excellent Film, well worth watching and thinking about.

7.5/10 on https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6499752/

 

Now that Borderlands has hit the "streaming" services in high quality, I've watched it.

It's reasonable for a second screen show at 2x speed in the background. It might even get some popularity over time.

Concord is very polished. But it still seems fairly contained, a bunch of heroes, a handful of maps. Where did the 8 years go?

Firewalk studios has 169 employees as far as i can tell.

They use unreal engine, no single player campaign

Where did the time go?

 

Linking directly to a very relevant time stamp.

Let's not tempt fate....

 

From the YouTube channel of spaceman, 34k. A very thoughtful analysis of the magic behind the movie.

 

If freezing salt water produces freshwater ice, why is desalinization such a difficult problem?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c2wafIzuvlI

I was watching the above minute physics video, and they indicated in a brief one sentence line that saltwater freezes into freshwater ice. That got me thinking.

Under what circumstances could you actually freeze salt into ice? To make salt ice?
