Do you have any tips for writing professional documentation? I want to do some for my workplace but it’s hard to know where to start, how to arrange it, etc

Concepts like putting glue on pizza

Then I assume you’ve done the rounds on Stargate and Farscape?

That’s normal and expected. What’s sad is that there are countries with governments who don’t tell companies not to be shitty.

Have you seen the film Dark Star? Bomb number 20 gets stuck in the release bay with the detonation countdown still running, so they have to spacewalk out and convince the AI not to explode.

I remember getting a 2 GB hard drive and thinking I’ll never be able to fill it up. Now I have video files more then 10 times that size

Why is it that the url ends in .JPG but when I right click and save image I can only save it as a .webp?

Paprika. I haven’t used anything else aside from having a folder of word documents.

Paprika allows you to copy/paste the URL of a recipe and it will download only the recipe. No more scrolling through a blog and a dozen ads looking for what you want. You can then create categories and tag recipes for any combination of categories.

It also has extra functions like meal planners, pantry inventory, and shopping list generators based on the meal plan and pantry, but I don’t use those.

It syncs between devices. The only real downside is you must purchase per platform type. If you bought the windows licence and you want it on your phone you must separately purchase the Android licence.

They don’t need to release it as open source. They could just do what games used to do, have a server executable so people can host their own sessions.

I only SysAdmin on raspbian thank you very much.

People in this thread seem to be missing this point.

This is windows server, not windows 11. The consequences is not “I’ll have an annoying taskbar icon on my home computer”, this is enterprise level interference that could affect large systems and thousands of users.

Linux Mint isn’t an alternative to windows server.

That’s a shame. I was keen on cp77 ever since its teaser trailer, but the troubles at launch made me wait. I still haven’t played it because it still doesn’t seem like a stable project.

I think what I really want is another good Deus Ex.

How does your music server work?

I did the whole Stargate franchise, including Infinity.

My advice is to do what I did. Rip the discs to your hard drive to remove the cd rom as a speed bottleneck. Then start doing tests at different bit rates until you are happy with the quality:size ratio. From season 4 onwards there’s audio commentaries that are worth keeping, so don’t forget to include that audio track as well as any language and subtitles you’d like to keep.

Good luck, have fun. It took me ages to work through it in my free time, but I’m glad I did. Also, from season 8 onwards, there are HD versions of SG-1 that were never released on home video that you may as well find a download of.

No. You’re doing the math wrong.

You make 2 movies that cost $80m each, you have spent $160m. One of them gets shelved and makes no money, one of them makes $120m. You are still at a $40m loss. You haven’t made any money to pay tax on at all. You have only lost money.

You are approaching this with the preconceived notion that is some kind of scam, which it’s not.

The only benefit to shelving the first movie is if you think it’ll cost more money to finish, market, and release it than money it will bring in. They are cutting their losses, not magically generating money out of thin air.

Depends on how you watched it. The DVDs that were being released were in 16:9. Depending on what country you were in, the DVDs sometimes came out before the later seasons were aired on a channel you could access, if at all.

The fact that other series can be re-released in HD is due the fact they are filmed on actual film, which was the point I was making clear.

SG-1 was meant to be seen in 16:9

SG1 was shot in film and mastered in 16:9. 16mm in the first 3 seasons, 35mm 3-7, and then they moved to digital HD cameras season 8 onwards.

Many shows from the 90s were [edit: shot on film]. That’s why you can get a widescreen HD release of Seinfeld, among others.

Hackers have used wind turbine farms as bitcoin miners. It’s not that far fetched.

You are suggesting that piracy eventually leads to profit. That’s not a definition of piracy.

I am saying piracy is obtaining a digital product in an unauthorised manner to avoid paying for the product.

I am ambivalent to piracy. I think it’s a common factor and it is up to content producers to combat it. I am familiar with the studies you’ve linked, but that’s not the topic I’m discussing.
