I have to steal part of the discussion at the Guardian for this - I have read neither translation but this is illuminating and unhelpfully makes me want to read both: Compare the opening lines: Fagles: Sing to me of the man, Muse, the

this is genius... and call shop stewards 'agents'... and call the act of unionising an org "agentifying a node flock"...

100% - have always loved Mr Pollan's pithy summary. I also like Alan Goldhamer's (I am paraphrasing): "There are two types of cardiologist; vegans, and the ones who haven't studied the data yet."

Good shout - particularly for learning, I assume, rather than getting the most productive reply from a SOTA model.

I accept you have to invest in your skills occasionally, but there are so many providers to choose from. Anyway, thanks a lot for the suggestions - I am now looking into these.

Much appreciated - living in the UK, I have heard of Doggerland and should have expected there would be plenty of similar areas worldwide - this is interesting stuff.

Use that internet thing to pop them on a 'website' and we can all take a look, no?

It's increasingly accepted that a large portion of human history is 100M underwater on the continental shelves, estuaries, and other coastal areas where humans would have liked to live. Any references for that? Genuine question.

I came here to say something like "This is a joke, right?" Not to be snarky, but because I just assume everyone throws the Inevitable Looming Tool at docs, especially where resource is scarce.. but this point has already come up a

Oh hey - the TLA/milspeak guy (gal?). I wouldn't wish more typing upon you but I would love if you could do a bit more 'longhand' so I could have a better grasp of some of the stuff you say - genuinely not being snarky,

I have been lusting after a decent visual interpretation of Ringworld ever since I read it decades ago... I was thrilled to hear Halo was set on a ringworld and - because I am diehard Nintendo guy - had to go to a mate's house to see i

For genuine, believable oddness - although the SF pigeonhole seems restrictive - I would recommend the utterly unique M. John Harrison, specifically the later Kefahuchi Tract trilogy. The much earlier Centauri Device pops up on lots of list

Interesting.. Minor point: it would be good to know what each of the default panels is? not entirely clear to me? Intrigued by spiderfoot, but seeing that the last release - from that repo anyway - was in 2022, I assume the action has moved

I find the free version of plex - once I config out all their own streaming junk - is perfectly good.. (and it runs acceptably on my ancient synology) Are there any compelling reasons for me to look in to jellyfin?
