Yea! So cool!! Do you think drone shows will eventually replace fireworks?

Yeah me too. I tried searching around but it’s hard to find something that’s not sci-fi related about this topic. It might also be called “kledging” from what I read, but not sure if that’s the exact same thing.

Yes agreed 10000%. S1 Picard was so confusing to me because of what you said. Did nobody in the writers room watch that episode of TNG?? There’s a few more too!!

“The Most Toys” asserts Data’s humanity over and over again. That episode with the Exocomps talks about tech sentience thru evolution and the effect on self preservation. That other episode about terraforming and finding the inorganic life forms. So many to choose from!

First 30 seconds of Picard: “These damn dirty robot slaves are so whiny and cranky!”

Me: 🤦

Hm, not sure what you mean.

Are there android slaves in voyager?

Android slaves in Picard conflicts with TNG canon.

Trapped tardigrades for propulsion in Disco conflicts with Voyager canon.

Those are my complaints.

I would say Medium is partially public. A few articles I’ve tried to access in the past have been behind a paywall.

Gotem.

I agree about the tone of most responses on Lemmy being rude.

I want to be nice. 🙏

boil and bleach the duck placenta off of the egg

What on earth.

Is this a non-US thing? I’ve never heard of this practice and I worked for a farmer that raised chickens and sold eggs.

I think they still have the bagel sandwiches.

What a cute box!

I thought dnL was a marketing tactic and was the same thing as 7up. I didn’t realize they were different flavors.

Me too! They were my favorite thing at McDonald’s and now that they’re gone I have no desire to go back.

That does sound awesome. Perfect after a night out.

Hmmm. Egg flavored ice cream. That’s a new one for me.

I try to learn something new, but tangentially related. The beginners mindset helps my ego from getting big.

Cute teef

Same for me but I used https://12ft.io/

I don’t think you really need a 10gb network, unless you’re pulling down 4k and 8k video files or if you have over 10 users connecting at a time.

At idle, power consumption of the NUC is very low–about 5 watts. At load, it’s about 100 watts.

Regardless if you use a NUC or NAS, I would recommend focusing on the processor. Make sure it can can handle the type of codec that you’re wanting to transcode to and from (hevc, avc) on the transcoder device. Intel QSV is also pretty nice if your chip supports it and you don’t care too much about quality.

Here’s my (semi) educated opinion: Get a NAS just for storage and retrieval. Get a NUC with a modern chip and run your apps and transcoding on it. I have this in my lab and it allows me to upgrade in the future depending on what my needs are. If I need more processor power, I get a new NUC. If I need more storage, I can add an expansion device and/or replace the NAS completely.

If you combine the storage and transcoding into a single device on the NAS, you’re locked in if your needs change and you will need to start looking at more expensive HCI options.
