AzPsycho , to startrek in Reddit seems all doom and gloom on the topic but what about Lemmy? And the future of Star Trek?

SNW and Lower Deck are fucking fantastic. SNW is a true to form traditional Trek show and Lower Decks is funny and diverse enough for those who feel Trek takes itself to seriously.

If Paramount runs afoul of finances I am sure someone will buy the IP rights to at least these. TBH, Strange New Worlds needs to be available on TV and streaming.

I don’t want to see SNW on TV. I don’t think they’ll have to change the content directly, but they’d have to fit to the 42-odd minute runtime. We’ve had several episodes near and over an hour long. It’s very refreshing to see them making episodes as long as they need to be to tell the story.

@nbailey@lemmy.ca avatar

You could probably get a used x280 or x390 for that price. Both are great machines even 4 years later. Check local refurbishers for off-lease machines on the cheap.

Is this the right place to ask?

cr4zyw0lf37 ,

Maybe less that it isn’t the right place to ask, it’s probably not the best place to ask. Maybe try somewhere like [email protected]

ElectroVagrant ,

For a link to that community: !learn_programming

Or simply: programming.dev/c/learn_programming

CommunityLinkFixer Bot ,

Hi there! Looks like you linked to a Lemmy community using a URL instead of its name, which doesn’t work well for people on different instances. Try fixing it like this: !learn_programming

favrion OP ,

I’m not a programmer so I have avoided any instances that have to do with computer science.

first things first, there is a shit ton of 12-hour C++ whatever lectures on youtube. And I have never watched any of that. But it's a good starting point.

db2 , to showerthoughts in With how short streaming seasons are becoming, you will soon see series with 2 episode seasons. 60 minutes per episode.

Ever hear of British sitcoms?

I’m watching The Office if that counts.

Six episodes and sixty percent of the same actors always.

Mojeezy , to selfhosted in Hey selfhosters, what are you selfhosting?

I have plex with radaar, sonaar + nzb + vpn. Stuck a 10tb HD in my pc (ryzen 7 3700x + 2070s) for my plex library and just leave it running.

I’m not an IT guy so I am happy I’ve had it running flawlessly for 6ish months. Will probably upgrade to a dedicated NAS in a year or so.

Since I built my pc, I feel fairly comfortable with the idea of building a NAS from the ground up. I want to use one of those NVIDIA graphic cards that allow more than 4 1080p encodes (I think that’s what it’s called).

I’ve always been curious about the pihole… one day.

Outside of jellyfin & pihole, I have no idea what anything else is.

nbailey , to linux in How do you keep track of all apps you install and their configurations?
@nbailey@lemmy.ca avatar

Write install and maintenance guides, save them somewhere public. Automation is good, but documentation and practicing technical writing is better.

IceMan , to futurama in Regarding Spoilers for the Upcoming Season

Damn there is a new season coming? Yeaaaah!

JubilantJaguar , to fediverse in Viewing lemmy posts by all tends to be dominated by a few communities

Better solution: don’t use Lemmy as your feed, use a feed reader (RSS). There are per-channel feeds that you can sort and filter using parameters.

Doing things this way will also help create the open web we all want to see, where “forum” is not a synonym for “Reddit” or “Lemmy”, where you can also follow the goings-on in other places and not miss anything.

PixelProf ,

Yeah, I really think it’s important to not see Lemmy as one singular community, or a lot of important use cases will go ignored.

jbrains , to nostupidquestions in When do you start feeling bad about asking for a raise?

I am not responsible for management’s decisions regarding how much to pay their workers.

I feel bad that many people working hard do not earn enough money, for various meanings of “enough”.

Both are independently true statements.

james , to fediverse in I can't code.

There’s lots of good advice here!

Don’t learn C/C++/Rust. They’re great languages but you’ll get stuck learning things most experienced programmers don’t understand and you’ll get discouraged.

Python/C# are both great options!

If you want to do mobile development, you might try Kotlin (for Android) or Swift (for iOS).

The trick is just to learn one language, to learn general programming concepts, then learning another in the future will be a lot easier.

You can learn a lot from following online tutorials, YouTube, etc., and you can find communities for each language too.

Also you don’t need to learn to program, there’s a lot of other good skills you could learn. (I keep trying to learn to draw or 3d model, and I just can’t do it lol).

favrion OP ,
@favrion@lemmy.world avatar

But what about the future? Won’t everything be Chrome in the future?

james ,

Maybe, hopefully not, but even if it is: with WebAssembly, you’ll be able to (you already can actually but it’s not very widely used) compile and run many languages in the browser, other than JavaScript.

I wouldn’t really recommend learning JavaScript as your first language, it’s pretty weird. Unless you really want to learn web development, then go for it! maybe check out TypeScript though - there’s a lot of learning material for both online.

TheRealKuni , to showerthoughts in pillows for your nose

My CPAP mask is literally pillows for my nose. The type is called “nasal pillows.”

fubo , to showerthoughts in I wonder where police cars get their gasoline from?

The city may have a maintenance depot where city-owned vehicles fuel up.

Same goes for (e.g.) school buses, snowplow trucks, and so on.

dylanmorgan ,

I worked at a small school that had diesel for the buses but vans had to be fueled at a gas station with a school credit card. Police departments in any major (American) city will definitely have several fueling stations for cop cars.

kuraitengai ,

This. I worked in municipal government years ago. And there were a few different depots for the county vehicles, including police, to gas up.

cr4zyw0lf37 , (edited ) to fediverse in I can't code.

As a fellow bumbling novice, I hard a hard time figuring out where to start until one of my colleagues recommended C++. That is the way! I feel like C# helped train my brain to “think” in code… if that makes sense. The patterns and mechanisms involved in C# carry over to so many other languages. There’s my two cents for ya. Best of luck in your coding adventures!

odium ,

You do know that C++ and C# are two different languages, right?

cr4zyw0lf37 ,

Meant to say C#, said C++ instead… THEN kept messing it up while trying to fix it… So I ended up just deleting it. Edibles and lemmy is a tough combo. But I’m glad everyone else in the thread is calling out the good stuff.

Wander ,
@Wander@yiffit.net avatar

Oh yeah, apologies for the above comment. C# is definitely a good option, especially if you use windows and love messing around with the OS

favrion OP ,
@favrion@lemmy.world avatar

I had an edible once…

Wander ,
@Wander@yiffit.net avatar

I’m not sure I fully agree with that approach for most people since C++ resources and tools seem to not be the user friendliest but then again if it worked for you that is amazing.

1x core 2 duo running Lemmy

2x atom d2550s running xmpp, matrix, lotide, searx, nostr, and invidious

2x core i5 4000 series running everything else

I try to run bare metal so I can stick my fingers into things.

ratz OP ,

Love keeping that old tech alive! My Core 2 Duo died a couple of years back, if I could figure out a way to leverage old mobile phones for some sort of project I would.

I’ve always called it ‘ghetto IT’ personally.

SJ0 ,

I’m not a huge fan of PC fans if I can help it, since I know they’re one of the points of failure (and they’re also loud)

I like the idea of using old smart phones too, I figure if you used something like a nexus 5x maybe you could pull it off with a powered USB-C hub?

ratz OP ,

My dream was to find a way to leverage them as poor man’s IP camera or something …one day…

SJ0 ,

I think there’s already apps for that.
