Actually it’s gnu/star trek
That is awesome. Yoinked for my avatar!
Everyone hates on gnuTrek
Discovery sucks but all the rest are fantastic, Prodigy is a kids show and still fits right in while continuing Janeway’s story
I like to call it GNU plus Trek
I oddly started watching star trek of because of all the fire memes on lemmy
How’d you like it?
I’ve just skipped around episodes in Next Generation, DS9 and Voyager but I love most of it.
Homefront and Paradise Lost might be some of the best television I’ve ever seen. The fact that those episodes came out before 9/11 might be the craziest piece of foreshadowing I’ve ever seen.
Little green men was my favorite though.
That’s awesome! Lower decks and Strange New Worlds are going to be a treat for you, save them for later
FYI DS9 isn’t really a “skip around” series. Plenty of long plot arcs as the series goes on.
It’s really not but I’ve been watching on Pluto because that’s what I have access to
I have considered not only figuring out how to setup Linux on my computer but also considered starting to watch Star Trek. It’s been almost a year since I’ve been on Lemmy and I haven’t caved yet… But my time may be coming soon…
ONE OF US
ONE OF US
ONE OF US
You just posted it to a server hosted on linux. You use Linux friend. One of us one of us gooble gobble one of us.
It’s the year of the linux server.
Always has been.
So you’re a BSD user and Stargate fan?
They use Haiku and watch Farscape.
TempleOS and BSG
So say we all.
But are you at least a socialist?
Standing next to mass grave
“But what kind of socialist are you?”
At least?
This implies there are levels or grades, here. What’s at the top of the pyramid?
Begin leftist infight in 3… 2 … 1…
This thread really pinning Lemmy down.
Ah leftist infighting goes all the way back to the French Revolution in fairness but… Yeah I can’t disagree. Like I’m a male shiny white western Linux user who loves Star Trek.
I’m like those lads you see in cargo shorts and sandals on holiday. FML.
Absolute basic Lemmy user.
That’s starting to sound like a hierarchy 🏴
Lol in the original thread, I mentioned that I forgot to add communist to the meme.
Okay, no Linux, no Star Trek. Cool cool. But you’re a femboy furry, right?
If so they’d be into Linux by default.
Since I’ve started using Lemmy,
- My primary desktop OS has become Linux
- I have began identifying as genderfluid
Lemmy pipeline real?
I mean, honestly it’s been something I’ve been considering for ages (Linux). It’s just that I needed a new OC to play games (old CPU is from 2009 lol). And Windows 11 is ass and Proton works so well for games on Linux now. I’m very happy.
Also genderfluid, happy pride heh, but that’s been a good thing too.
It’s okay, BSD, Haiku, and even Amiga users are welcome too.
OS/2?
edit: I had no idea - it lives
Temple OS user here, I’ve been welcomed as well.
Just switched to Linux for Plex.
Ubuntu by the way.
And now you have to move away from Plex?
If you’re still using Plex after all these years of them doing shady shit, that’s on you.
That very post highlights that that confirmation is only if you stream the stuff Plex streams. If you use it for your own library as most do, then it’s a non issue.
Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it. Just on ease of remote access and the UI alone
I look at it in the reverse. I want this platform to stream at home. If it’s a pain to use at home without internt then it’s lost the plot. I’d setup Plex with the trusted local network in the config file and all of that, but then I still have reconfigure my clients and then they all get admin access so all my parental controls are gone. Jellyfin and Emby get this right and Plex does not, so I dropped Plex. I ended up on Em by instead of Jelly because Direct Play/Stream just wasn’t really working for me in Jelly (that may well have been due to my hosting on a Synology NAS).
I’m in the same situation as you- I have a Synology NAS and I want to set up some sort of streaming for my old home movies. I would like to be able to view on mobile and at home. Is Emby possibly a better option than JellyFin for that scenario? I wasn’t even aware of them.
Overall I do like Emby more than JellyFin. Emby is commercial, like Plex. I believe the client applications (ie everything but the web) needs a licensed server but they have a free trial period. There is a remote option
And they have a service they call Connect intended to simplify the remote access.
Caveat, I’ve not really used the remote capabilities at all, I can’t speak to how it compares to Plex’s. I have streamed remotely through a VPN connection, rather than setting up public access. But only once or twice, and mostly to test the VPN rather than for the purpose of streaming.
We each have our own requirements and so I try not to judge which is what the comment I replied to seemed to do.
I need remote access for my users.

Cheers, but you did say this
Jellyfin < Plex. No matter how you try and spin it.
So I spun it in my own different priorities under which Plex is not superior.
Look into jellyfin. I used to run Plex but I find jellyfin way better.
Each to their own but think you should highlight the failings of Jellyfin.
Mainly:
- Remote access is not a trivial feat, especially when compared to Plex
- The UI is janky.
The first point is valid, but it only applies to you as the server admin and not the remote users. And honestly it was stuff worth learning for me, as somebody who is not on the IT/web end of things.
But the UI being janky? I don’t know about that. Static images of the screens may look better to you on the Plex side, and that’s just preference. But when it comes to lag, hitching, did that click register, having the server scan the media library, and just about every other performance thing I can think of, Jellyfin seems SO much better to me.
And that’s why I do Emby instead. Cloud connections are not that difficult to setup, though not as streamlined as Plex. However, I refuse to go back to Plex because of some serious privacy concerns from the last couple years. I have had a lifetime membership with them since like 2014 and it was great for a long time, but I don’t need it tracking activity of my friends.
Interesting. I switched to jellyfin from Plex because the Plex interface was fucking terrible after the redesigned it and jellyfin was so much better even when unfinished.
Setting up remote access for Jellyfin felt pretty trivial for me like 2 years ago when switching away from Plex. No hiccups that I can recall whatsoever. Except for maybe the nginx reverse proxy configuration, but the documentation made it decently straightforward, but that step isn’t strictly necessary to get remote access working; that was just something I wanted for my particular setup.
And I wouldn’t call the Jellyfin UI janky at all. I use it every day and can’t think of any common issues I encounter when using it. There surely are quirks with some features, but I find them few and far between. I recall Plex having its own UI quirks back when I used it.
Ubuntu
Why tho?
We all start somewhere, even if it’s the smelliest pink taco.
… it’s the smelliest pink taco
Weirdly enough that’s my mom’s high school nickname!
oh hey I remember her
Smelly you say? May I recommend you apply some Mint with Cinnamon to spruce up that computer of yours?
Take the most popular (for now) distro in Ubuntu, remove the proprietary Canonical stuff that makes people say eww, and give the UI some polish and you basically have Linux Mint. And if you REALLY want to reject Ubuntu in its entirety, they do have LMDE (Linux Mint Debian Edition).
I paid for winrar on windows, I’m going to make it every penny’s worth
I wish I could give you a medal, you deserve it
(…to the Star Trek fandom. We’ll get you eventually.)
I used to love Star Trek until I hit that Tuvix episode. That triggered some things in my personal background. I tried to get over it but I can’t.
Maybe the lower decks parody will help? It might equally make it worse though, you might want to read or have someone else read a synopsis
Removed by mod
Hum… There are certainly way more than dozens. Both of those are on the millions, in a population of billions that means there would be thousands of people with both interests even if they were independent.
And let’s face it, the only options for cutesy interfaces like in Trek would be Linux or MacOS.
Ehhh.

LCARS (Library Computer Access and Retrieval System) is the GUI from Star Trek: The Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine. This is a rainmeter suite that transforms your Windows GUI into LCARS.
Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and the community here over Linux just annoys me. It is this all high and saving OS but why hasn’t it done so yet.
Why does the community and answering questions about Linux suck. Linux great and I use it but people here act like they figured something out the rest of the world hasn’t but when the rest of the world tries to figure it out the response is, “good luck, figured it out, go back to Windows loser.” Just annoys the hell out of me.
I have also never watched Star Trek but it seems good.
The original series is all I’ve seen but its legit hilarious and definitely still worth watching. Many of its storylines have been revisited/retold over the decades, but the plots maintain their charm and originality. It’s campy as all hell, but the campy atmosphere of the show elevates it rather than aging it in a bad way.
I agree. Their solution for everything is FOSS and like… No sometimes people don’t want an alternative for what they’re talking about they want the actual thing they’re talking about
I too joined when the API shenanigans started. But…
Honestly, I have been using Lemmy since the Reddit API ordeal and …
it’s good to know I’ve got a million and one people to ask questions when I finally make the switch. It’s inevitable. Honestly lack of free time (read home PC has not been prioritized) has been the only hurdle. I’ve dabbled over the years, just barely.
I have an old Thinkpad tablet (X2___ or 4___ idk) that I want to switch over. It had a few offline duties w/ W7, but that’s all done now. I settled on OpenSUSE and made a live USB to start. Works on my desktop but haven’t gotten it to boot on the Thinkpad. I’ve found I need to go to the grub2 folder and can do so at the grub prompt (rescue, probably) but I still run into something about cannot validate cli…
Yes, I’m chumming the waters while I’m stuck inline. Sorry to detour!
Its the same kind if vibe as when you hang out with certain Jazz musicians / fans and they start discussing chord substitutions, extensions, etc.
I should add that while I’m not specifically a “Jazz Musician”, I play piano , and utilise substitutions, extensions etc. :)
I have been using Linux for 20 years now, as a main OS for at least 15. Linux isn’t perfect in any way and I have fucked up my system many times. But in those 20 years I maybe have felt to need to ask for help 2 or 3 times, because al the other 999 times with some searching I found someone with the same problem and a solution. When you ask for help for something that can be found with 3 minutes of searching I totally understand people don’t feel the need to help you out.
Seriously. That star Trek sub is like a cafeteria table of high school girls that are constantly giggling. I don’t understand it at all. I understand less why it’s so funny. It is fucking funny though.
I think Star Trek lends itself well to memes, because it’s already a show where obscurities are questioned.
Just old trek, nutrek is nothing like it
Oh shut up. Nutrek is great. TOS is 70% terrible, 30% brilliant, 90’s trek is life.
I don’t understand why a large part of adults of the word are so into that other space franchise, far in the future the time when characters have to fight with pink glowsticks for some reason.
Now that’s funny.
