The goal of c/Quarks has always been to help foster a sense of community for StarTrek.website, but it is just a generic “offtopic” community and does not really have an identity of it’s own on the Fediverse....

is doing something with freely a good idea? like if everyone tv launched a freely app? or some special website that has streams on British tv channels without any limit? or should i just wait after?

This is inspired by this advice from a few months ago:...

I did an oil change. Thought the car took 4.4 quarts but it only takes 3.7 quarts. I poured in slightly under 4 quarts. The engine is a 1.5 in-line turbo (Honda Civic Si). It’s reading past the fill line slightly. How bad is it? Do I need to pour some out? What am I risking? What symptoms should I be looking for?

What are the rubber circles for on the back of my pc case? Should I just leave them like that if don’t have a need for them? Or are they likely to let I’m dust into the motherboard?...

For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.

I need a few of these for rpi’s around the farm. Tired of dealing with LoRa.

You’ve heard of the “Bechdel-Wallace test” and its potential value to some people in measuring various media in a given context....

Wouldn’t it cut down on search queries (and thus save resources) if I could search for “this is my phrase” rather than rawdogging it as an unbound series of words, each of which seems to be pulling up results unconnected to the other words in the phrase?...

Today, before taking an Uber home, she sent me a text wanting me to be downstairs on the street to greet her as the Uber arrives. I read it and told her that yes, I’ll be there. I didn’t notice any further text because I was in the middle of something....

like I lived through the brick to flip phone to smartphone era, but I can’t remember what features I was looking at on these flip phones when I was deciding which one to buy. do you guys remember?

For those veteran linux people, what was it like back in 90s? I did see and hear of Unix systems being available for use but I did not see much apart from old versions of Debian in use....

Trip: A poop question, sir? Can’t I talk about the warp reactor or the transporter?...

You know how to can get turned off of eggs if you get the egg ick....

Just why send bridge crew. Those crew are important and mean to stay on the ship. Unless the mission required someone on the top like first-mate, you should send your boarding team or land team on mission....

I’ve been ripping my anime bluray collection and wanted to have an easier way to sort it for Jellyfin, so I wanted to try Shoko Server, but it’s not recognizing any of my anime. It sees the actual files, but categorizes them all as Unrecognized, making the entire idea of using it for automated sorting pointless. I’m...

For me is a coin toss between PS1 and 360. The silver goes to the PS2. Currently owner of a Xbox series x and a switch. The switch was meh and I like the X fine enough mostly because I can play old games at 60 fps.

I’d put it on my website, which contains my real name anyway, but Signal says that I should only share it with people I trust. Also, the link (signal.me/…) contains long base64 string with unknown content. What do you think?

I watched a YouTube video about this topic today and thought it was the perfect idea for a post here. It’s pretty straightforward, it’s games you played in the past that you’re still stuck thinking about, or games that taught you a lesson that you’ve held on to....

Hi all!...
