One thing that's surprised me about the Reddit shitshow

Is how easily mods have caved in once the admins threatened to remove them. I had thought we’d see quite a few cases where Reddit would have to step in an replace entire mod teams (effectively killing the community). But it seems like that hasn’t happened at all - the closest we’ve got is mods being reordered....

Calling all /r/sysadmin reddit refugees!

I setup this community specifically because of the time I’ve spent over the years browsing and relying on reddit.com/r/sysadmin for sources of information on tips/tricks, security exploits & patches, outages, and yes even the ranting about how our jobs all suck. (I like mine, for what it’s worth.)...

How common is it for certain actors to be contractually obliged to appear in every episode of a series?

I watched a review of the TNG episode “Thine Own Self” a while ago where it was mentioned that Picard doesn’t appear until the very end after Data gets back to the Enterprise, after all the scenes of Crusher having the bridge and Riker observing Troi taking the test to becoming a commander. They suggested that Patrick...

Drama recommendations

I’ve been learning Japanese for a few years now, my reading is pretty good but my listening is terrible. I’ve been actively trying to watch more Japanese content but I’m not a huge fan of anime. So I’ve been getting into Japanese dramas. I’ve found some good ones from just randomly browsing Japanese netflix but I’ve...

Did this site live and die in 4 days?

This place has roughly 3,000 people and was intended to be an entire replacement for DaystromInstitute and StarTrek as they were going dark indefinitely. Well, within 4 days the moderators have walked back those statements and opened both subreddits up. I see no incentive for people to come to this website now and while a few...

HAPPY PICARD DAY!

To celebrate Picard day ( my first time celebrating it ) I wanted to give my thought on TNG so far. I’m about done with the first season and there’s been a lot of good episodes and some episodes that are pretty boring ( sorry 😢 ) however every episode Captain Picard is the reason I finish it no matter if it’s a good or...

I Wish Odo Had Experimented with Body Modification when He was a Solid

At the end of The Way of the Warrior, Bashir offers to make Odo’s face look like any species he wants. He defines. It seems like a wasted opportunity for Odo not to have explored his identity within the confines of being a solid. I would have loved for him to realize he could change his appearance and explore being different...
