Imagine going back to 2018 at the start of the Jodie Whitaker era and telling someone that the next showrunner would be Russell T. Davies, the 60th anniversary would star David Tennant, Catherine Tate and Bonnie Langford, Christmas specials would come back and the show would make a run for the Christmas number one single with a song about goblins, the first episode would be called Space Babies and would literally be about space babies, the second episode would be about the Beatles, feature no Beatles songs and Jinx Monsoon would turn out to be one of the best villains in ages, and episode three would be written by Steven Moffat.
We are in an absolutely chaotic era for the show right now and I love it lol.
I thought episode 2 was by far the stronger of the two, but I still really enjoyed this one. I always enjoy the episodes where they take an absolutely bonkers premise and just run as far as they can with it lol.
It’s an Ubuntu downstream maintained by Linux box maker System76 which is targeted for both general usability and design/media applications. They will soon be debuting their own home-spun desktop environment, Cosmic DE, which is highly anticipated by the Linux community....
I like it, I think it’s a better Ubuntu than Ubuntu is these days, if you know what I mean. And I’m really interested to see how the COSMIC desktop environment works out.
Also I really like their laptops. I want to get a Pangolin one day lol.
I’ve started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
Yep! I load mine in from Calibre and they work fine. The only things that haven’t worked for me are comic book files (ie .cbr and .cbz files) and some .pdfs. Not sure why some of them work and some don’t lol. But if you use the stylus to click on a book to open it, you’ll get a pop-up if the stylus won’t work with it.
I’ve been tempted for a while to switch from good old reliable Arch (btw) to NixOS, but now I’m glad I procrastinated and just ran it in a little VM specimen jar instead.
Also, I wouldn’t trust Kaspersky with anything important personally. It’s from an older interview but…
If you had the power to change up to three things in the world today that are related to IT security, what would they be?
Internet design–that’s enough.
That’s it? What’s wrong with the design of the Internet?
There’s anonymity. Everyone should and must have an identification, or Internet passport. The Internet was designed not for public use, but for American scientists and the U.S. military. That was just a limited group of people–hundreds, or maybe thousands. Then it was introduced to the public and it was wrong…to introduce it in the same way.
I’d like to change the design of the Internet by introducing regulation–Internet passports, Internet police and international agreement–about following Internet standards. And if some countries don’t agree with or don’t pay attention to the agreement, just cut them off.
I feel like itch might be a bit too democratic for some people, if that makes sense. Every time I look at it it seems to be complete anarchy lol.
Not that that’s a bad thing either, there’s definitely space for a store that’s just the wild west. But it probably takes a lot of effort to dig up the gems there.
I’ve played the first couple of hours on the Deck and it’s been fine for me so far, pretty consistent 50-60fps and no major bugs or crashes. The frame rate seems pretty good even when outside too.
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS delivers the latest Linux 6.8 kernel with improved syscall performance, nested KVM support on ppc64el, and access to the newly landed bcachefs filesystem. In addition to upstream improvements, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS has merged low-latency kernel features into the default kernel, reducing kernel task scheduling delays....
For me personally, I don’t hate Ubuntu but eventually I found it a bit frustrating. IMO they have a habit of picking a thing they think is shiny (eg: Unity Desktop, trying to converge desktop and phones, Mir, currently Snaps) and just going ALL-IN trying to force it to be a thing, regardless of whether people want it or if it makes any sense. Then they keep pushing until it’s almost actually decent, then drop it like a hot potato and chase after some other thing. So for me it always felt like important things were being neglected for the sake of whatever they think is cool at any given moment.
I am not bad with computers and have a beginner+, maybe intermediate level knowledge of Linux and I kept running into some problems here and there with different distros.

Yeah IIRC with Pop!OS it just asks you if you have an Nvidia card during install, and then it takes care of it all for you. I run it on my desktop machine and have had no issues so far.
Although word of caution, they’re supposed to be transitioning to the brand new COSMIC desktop environment sometime this year, so I don’t know if that will cause any instability.
I really feel like we need to have a huge overhaul of copyright law in general, it seems like it’s all a mish-mash of old laws from before the internet existed, patched over with half-assed rules that we’ve just been making up as we go along since then.
Some of it is absurd to me, like the way something can be online but geographically restricted. I’ve had the situation in the past where I want to watch a movie trailer, but I can’t because I’m in Canada and not the US, even though the movie is also out in Canada. It’s so pointless and easily circumvented, and all it does is annoy people. Or that something can still be copyrighted almost a century after the author is dead.
And to get back to the point, we also really need to make some kind of exemption for archival purposes. So much information, art and cultural heritage is lost because copyright holders don’t look after the stuff they own and don’t want to pay to preserve it properly. The internet could be one of the best archival tools we’ve ever had, if we’d just let it do its thing IMO.
I downloaded a certain epub from Anna’s archive but as i have never read it before and i don’t know if it is a bad/incomplete copy or the real thing . I don’t think I’m allowed to say which book it is but do feel free to correct me and i’ll edit it in . So how do you solve this issue ? Like if it was a movie or tv...
I haven’t tested this but Calibre has a plugin that will give you the word count of an epub, so I’d assume if you got a few copies and the word counts were pretty much the same it should be a fairly safe bet. There might be some variation for dedications, forewords etc. though depending on the version.
Quentin Tarantino is no longer planning to make “The Movie Critic,” which he had earlier said would be his final film as a director. It was confirmed Wednesday that the director had given the project a thumbs down....
TBH I kind of wish he’d let go of the “10 films and done” rule, I worry that he’s just going to keep second-guessing his final film and throw away all sorts of films he otherwise would have made that would have been perfectly decent.
But I suppose the scripts will always still exist, so someone else could always make them at some point. Worked out for True Romance and Natural Born Killers.

I haven’t been able to tell from any of the reviews yet but does the stylus only work with Kobo Books? Or can you write on any book?
