Someone whose whole shtick is being an asshole is an asshole.

Imagine that.

Not to say anything against the strikers but if AI could replace any writers it would be the ones from Bill Maher's show. All it would have to do is go to Boomer Facebook, find the memes with the crispiest jpegs and copy them outright.

I liked it a lot. A little long but never really boring.

I agree with others that it was heavy handed in some parts but pulled it's punches in others.

But practical sets, a good script, great casting, and an original story. Hell yes. The 4 sequels are going to be trash and the eventual cinematic universe will be a lead-painted tire fire. But it was great.

Weirdly the "vibe" of the movie was similar to a Cohen Brothers movie. It reminded be of the Big Lebowski structure and pacing-wise.

https://docs.fortinet.com/document/forticlient/7.2.1/linux-release-notes/213138

I looked through the documentation on Fortigates website and it does look like it's different steps for installation based on which Ubuntu version you have. Also something different for Debian. Not sure which Linux mint you have or even if it's LMDE but I'd run through this doc page and see if anything works out for you.

Also obligatory nobody asked but zyxel has had a lot of severe security issues lately. Actually so has Fortinet so stay vigilant.

Maybe you're remembering this clip?

It's not TNG it's DS9 and technically it's from the original series but O'Brien is there and there are nationalistic tensions occuring.

Or mandroids if you will.

I won't.

Ok I got ya now. So are you wanting Windows and Steam OS on the same Sd card as well as steam OS on the internal hard drive?

[–] xyguy@startrek.website 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I don't know about SteamOS specifically but you can dual boot windows and Linux on the same drive. Each can exist on their own. The partition will still show up in windows but you can ignore it and it won't do anything. The problem is Windows and GRUB for Linux. Windows has a bad habit of just bulldozing GRUB and making Linux unbootable.

I use Syncthing on all my endpoints Windows and Linux (can't speak for Mac) to sync to my TrueNAS server. It has a built in tool to just back up to backblaze on a certain schedule.

I know you can use Syncthing with unraid in Docker. I have it set up so sync all endpoints to my server and then the server pushes the latest changes back to all the endpoints. This is overly redundant and you don't have to do it that way but all endpoints and my server would have to die at the same time before I lost any data. It's sort of a backup scheme in and on itself.

My big tip is if you haven't already, switch to a local package repository. There are a lot of people mirroring the software packages for mint and you can switch to one that is geographically the closest to you for better speed and to spread out the server load.

I love Linux Mint and it's what I install on all my decom-laptops turned servers. It will do pretty much all you want to do in Windows and then some. The only thing it probably isn't the absolute best for is PC gaming but if you are just using a laptop it probably doesn't make much of a difference either way.

If you like Mint then I also suggest PopOS. They are both based on Ubuntu so a lot of the paths and the package manager are the same. The killer feature there is auto-tiling Windows which is like the window snap feature in windows but happens automatically. It's not for everyone but once I started using it, it changed my entire workflow.

Last thing is, if you haven't already, familiarize yourself with running docker containers. A lot of stuff that's complicated to set up is a breeze with docker and docker-compose.

God I really hate to see Oracle involved. Everything they touch turns into an IP lawsuit.

If they really loved open source so much they wouldn't have close-sourced ZFS and OpenSolaris in 2010 after they were already open source.

CIQ and Rocky are solid but remember just because Oracle is the enemy of the enemy doesn't make them even close to a friend.

I use Heimdall. You can set it up in no time with docker compose and manage it all through the web interface after that.

Its simple but also has some neat integrations with certain apps and will give live stats for certain things. Like pihole gives you live stats on what's being blocked for instance.

Not sure I fully understand your question or goal but you might benefit from setting up NAT reflection for your public stuff so when you are inside your nat you can still access everything with your external domain name like you are on the Internet. I see some people referencing split DNS also and that goes along with nat reflection.

https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/nat/reflection.html

There is a link to how you set it all up using pfsense.
