That’s awesome to hear. I’m looking to set up some self-hosted stuff, and I see a lot of recommendations for Tailscale for the VPN element.

The Freespace games are legendary in that genre. Probably second only to TIE Fighter.

Definitely yes. I enjoy seeing the technical and administrative updates.

He’s back in the game! Hyped.

Journey, and more recently Tunic, both had soundtracks that complemented their gameplay really well.

Having grown up with TNG, hard agree. If we get to a Starfleet-style space navy, then I’m in.

This is me. The Heir to the Empire trilogy is one of my favorite book series. I read every bit of the old EU I could get my hands on in the 90s. Quality definitely varies across different books and authors, but I think that era of content is worthwhile if you’re a Star Wars fan.

The ysalamiri! Yes indeed.

Depends on what sort of underlying file system you want to use on the drive. For Linux filesystems (ext4, btrfs, zfs etc), here’s a good start: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Dm-crypt

For NTFS, BitLocker is already baked in to Windows.

Anyone remember that Outer Limits episode about this? They thought the teleporter malfunctioned, but it really just failed to destroy the source “copy” of the girl at the point of origin. Since she also appeared at destination, the station operator had to flush the original out of the airlock.

TLDR- Would totally use it.
