In my headcanon they believed jyn because of luthens intel, even though they dont mention it in rogue one.

Thats a cool project!! I can torrent :)

First: regardless of their capabilities it is still easier to block off supply routes from mainland europe to norway than eg between germany and france.

Second: lets perhaps prepare for a worst case situation and not make arrogant assumptions of their capabilities 5, 10, 15 years down the road? If we kill off our agriculture now to join the eu, we cant simply rebuild it if russia (or someone else) suddenly poses a real threat to accomplish such a blockade in ten years. And at this rate i would not rule out that it would be china or even the us doing the blockading - the world is a-changing, and assumptions is the mother of all fuckups.

The Luthen episode was the best of this bunch for me, but overall what was going to top 7-9?

8 must objectively be the best tv i have ever seen.

Theres talk of adopting the euro regardless of membership status whether that is just binding our curremcy like the danes or actually changing. Our currency is a joke and with the euro gaining momentum as a safe haven currency we will be left even further behind with our oil based currency. We lose sovreign control of interest rates and money supply though and im not too sure how well that worked for eg greece....

Im mostly all for joining the eu, but that is my main concern. In a time where war is more likely than in a long time i do not want to have what little agriculture we have be destroyed in the name of economic efficiency. Fuck that i dont want to starve. Eu should recognize the importance of local production of critical products in case supoly chains break down (especially for us who are separated from the mainland and could be more easily blockaded off by russia in case of war).

Let us keep these things and the no-side would lose some of their most important arguments....

Ok good to know, ill give rebels a shot as well :) This started as a re-watch of episodes I-III before the final arc of andor, but now i need to decide if i go for episode 3 before diving back into clone wars.

I see "removed" in your post so i will insert "jar jar binks" and i definitely dont want that

Rebels hasnt really been on my radar, but its been mentioned several times here so i guess i need to check out that as well! Seems to be parallel to andor so i guess a good time to watch it is after episode 3?

Thanks for the link! Yea the number of episodes is a little daunting tbh... so that list will come in handy!

From a lore and world building perspective, absolutely. If you like what Andor has done with those, and I’ve particularly been enjoying the world building, CW will probably hit the spot for you.

This sounds very good! :)

There is a lot of Clone Wars. It’s not going to be as tight as Andor or even all relevant, especially since it’s an anthology series.

Yea thats what keeping me from just diving in without seeking the jedi council for advice first!

There are some real stinkers and some boring episodes/arcs. The Jar Jar stuff, the droid stuff, a lot of it is a miss for me.

There was posted a list above here with essential episodes - i hope that perhaps skips the worst of this. I would really not like to sit through too much jar jar - he was more insufferable than i could remember...

Really makes the Clone Wars as an event seem very important to the universe, whereas going by the movies alone it’s almost a background event that we get at the end of one movie and the beginning of another. Overall, I think it does a really good job of fleshing out the characters, their motivations, and their relationships. Adds a lot more weight to RotS, especially season 7.

Yea i always found something lacking when they didnt go into this. Seems like it is worth a watch from my perspective!

So what im most interested in are the events that leads to palpatine's seizure and consolidation of power and the building of the rebellion. ill definitely check out some of the saw stuff. I didnt enjoy ahsoka as much

 

My star wars interest has awakened again with andor, and ive so far tortured myself through jar jar binks in episodes 1 and 2 to refresh the lore on palpatines rise to power and transformation from the republic to the empire.

I am considering jumping into the clone wars before moving into episode 3. Both movie, series and the ps2-era game.

Are they worth it from a lore perspective?

 

Oh boy this is a long shot but here goes: back in 2007 when mass effect came out i watched a user made video on gametrailers.com from the game which ended up being tge deciding factor in buying it. It was called (i think) just "planet" and featured mako driving on a red planet set to the track adiemus by karl jenkins (or perhaps credited as the adiemus project or just adiemus).

I wanna get my nostalgia fix but i have never been able to find it again. So..... does anyone know how to find it? 🫠

 

Anyone got xenia working on linux? If so what strategy did you use?

I can get the og version of xenia "working" with bottles, but it runs really poorly. Xenia canary does not work (just hangs with black screen and grey menu options for a couple of secs before crashing).

 

I have a couple of flatpaks installed that are no longer available on flathub, and i want to make sure to back them up so that i can run them later if i install a fresh distro for example.

Is it as simple as copying the application folder from ~/.local/share/flatpak and adding it there later? Does that include dependencies as well?

 

I got some courses on zenva and gamedev.tv thru a humble bundle some time back and would like to store the videos from these courses locally. "Save video as" is greyed out, but is there a common technique to download such content despite this?

 

I want to get into the Star Trek universe but dont know where to start. I have previously seen first three seasons of Disocvery and first season of picard. Picard was cool but disocvery didnt quite track, a little boring and not adventure focused enough. However loving lower decks now (just started season 4) and want to get into the more canon stuff.

I have access to TNG, DS9, Voyager, Enterprise and SNW. TOS i could probanly get access to if i want, but gotta admit that is not very enticing.

So where to start? TNG?

If it helps (and i dont get shunned for this), i am a stargate guy and love especially sg-1 and the adventure of the week format and the character ensemble

 

I have a couple of local copies of my media collection, but in case of my house burning down in a fire i would like to not have to rebuild my entire media collection. rsync.net offers some fairly reasonable storage prices (i guess there are many other good options as well).

Would you guys have any second thoughts on storing the entirety of your media collection on a remote server like that unencrypted?

 

I just bought a second-hand surface duo running android for the sole purpose of emulating nintendo ds. I want a stylus to emulate that part of the experience, but all styluses are a lot more expensive than i anticipated. But they seem to include stuff i really dont need such as bluetooth connectivity and such like.

Can i just get any pointy plastic thing to use as a stylus or do i need one of these that connect to the phone?

I recently got a used surface duo for the sole purpose of emulating nintendo ds and 3ds. I have retroarch running with Desmume but as far as i understand, drastic offers better performance on android.

I know i can get it on the play store (for now at least), but i dont have a google account (and i will not sign up for one). I can see that there are many sites offering downloads of an .apk, but they all seem pretty shady to me.

What would be the best way to get a malware-free .apk for drastic? Am i better of waiting for it to go open source and build it myself?

 

This is maybe a little paranoid but... i have a jellyfin server that i let some family members use. one of them intends to use an app for apple tv, which i think is swiftfin or something like that. i am a bit skeptical about smart-TVs and the data they phone home with, so i was wondering if there is any chance that i could be compromised due to the linux isos i host on jellyfin due to some sneaky smart-TV stuff?

 

What is considered the best/safest way to pirate printed magazines? On the Awesome Piracy-repo, there are some links, but they either don't work or look sus (except for maybe magazinelib.com).

If you endulge in free printed magazines, what is your preferred way?
