I just realized that alternate Boimler is dying his beard as well.

Fixed that little goof up.

EDIT: Fix grammar mistake.

Usually, Flatpaks. My generally philosophy is that if it isn't in Debian, it probably won't last. I make exceptions when something is the best tool for the job, like Tom J Watson's Emote.

This isn't rock solid, I admit - there are plenty of defunct projects that were once in Debian repos (neofetch is still in sid), and there are plenty of lasting projects outside Debian.)

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.

I don't know about the hub specifically, but I have a One Touch portable external HDD that touts some of the same features. I've never had any particular problems with it - it's just a normal USB mass storage device. The "special features" provided by the Seagate Toolkit (not available on Linux) seem like they're done at the filesystem level.

If you don't care about encryption, it will most likely just work - format it however you like. If you care about encryption, there's ways like LUKS or filesystems with FS-level support, depending on how much you care about interoperability with non-Linux systems. You might also be able to do something kooky like format it with Bitlocker on Windows, which I think can still be mounted on a Linux system; I was able to access my encrypted Windows partition from my Linux install on my Surface if I entered the key - I'm sure there's a way to automate that part.

An update: According to S2 E10 Sanctuary, the guy below the Ferengi (not shown in this screenshot) is stated to be Plix Tixiplik, who had previously shown up in TNG, further affirming them being previous Trek actors.

I think it’s mistly okay. I had a bit of misery with my 8852BE on my new Thinkpad E16 (the card would just disconnect from the system until the next reboot occasionally), which was solved with some kernel parameters I found online.

It only gets better (Except for A Mathematically Perfect Redemption). I will warn you the early part of season 1 is probably carried by reference humor, whereas the rest of the series begins to hold up on its own in addition to the quality reference humor.

I don’t know. You should make sure it doesn’t have a Realtek Wi-Fi card. Otherwise, it looks fine. I found the Linux Hardware report for it here: https://linux-hardware.org/?probe=7144bb41

I think the price to performance doesn’t look the best, though. Maybe go for a Thinkpad instead?

I came into Debian with that philosophy as well, but I eventually gave up on all native packages as I got tired of having to deal with the rotation of some testing packages.

Honestly, 1 GB is an extreme it could get to, but most don’t because the majority of that initial 1 GB overhead is shared with other applications. Part of this is design issues in glibc preventing reverse compatibility with older glibc applications, and so applications need to have the right version of glibc with them to work. This adds some overhead, but is mitigated because many Flatpaks use the same glibc version.

Also, to be honest, storage is cheap these days, and really, I think the ease of Flatpak is worth what becomes a pretty minor storage sacrifice.

I use Testing on my desktop. When that happens, I just switch to the Flatpak.

Honestly, I’ve grown tired of Testing. I’ve started to become a fan of stable with a few Flatpaks.

I do declare, it's the best of both sides of the Mississippi! Needole's as dependable as a well-bred mule with the looks of country-fried chicken, while lacking the more unsavory qualities of our otherwise trusty Talaxian companion.

Edit: Fixed the color of the stripe on the dialogue box because it was tearing me up inside. Also, here's a link to the template as an Inkscape SVG in the slim chance anyone wants to reuse it (make sure to have Oswald font installed): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1fm8GFs34NNQucgdSFQYzbrkaiyiuD22H/view?usp=sharing

I've had a special Neofetch logo to go with Chicago95 for a while. I finally bothered to switch over to Fastfetch, so I ported the logo over. Above is a terminal window with my result. Here's the git repo. I configured all window panes to be green in order to go well with the Space Chicago95 Plus Theme.

 

I wanted some ambience for an upcoming Star Trek Adventures game, so I whipped up this simple web app.
