Rare Earth by Peter Ward is what you're after here. I took an elective in college that effectively was reading a bunch of space science (and history, it was odd) and discussing. This one caught me off guard but was a decent breakdown of a possible answer to Fermi.

I don't necessarily agree with the supposition, mainly because it still comes from a place of specifically carbon-based life as the end goal. But they do lay out reasoning in an easy to understand way that was super neat to learn.

Personally? Nationalism & nation states. The longer they stay around, the more likely everyone is to think they're more deserving of X, and pull the literal and metaphorical trigger that leads to hitting the filter.

I recognize that individuality is very much our thing, but that will literally only take you so far.

While I enjoyed the series as a whole, it was a little underwhelming to me. There's nothing wrong with the sentimate shared, that we make who we are; I think it's more about how the show itself set up a grand reveal as a twist.

The mother being completely unable to be found the whole time, then suddenly UNIT finds all her info after the 3rd act finale was really what was frustrating after the buildup of the series.

I loved the 4th wall breaks of the gods themselves, and the old neighbor hinted as one of the harbingers at the first episodes as well when thinking back.

The idea that the god of death has been along for the ride this whole time is a sweet idea, but wrapped up so quickly that the punch wasn't felt. I can see why, as the whole gimmick with him was that he just kills everyone.

In the process of slowly chopping up an odd "tree bush" that fell over but kept growing this past winter. Thought I could get away with a mini chainsaw, but after yesterday I'm starting to think I may need a "real" one 😅

This sucker has 10"+ trunks and lays about 25ft long

It's not even that terrible of a series: it scratches the itch and hasn't mentioned a Skywalker (granted many many years before that whole shindig).

Is it the best? Nah. Is it the worst? looks at RoS Absolutely not.

BT Sync no longer in vogue here? That's what I've used to both sync and distribute certain things. Used to use it for my image backup until immich came along and stole my heart. Still use it for phone backups

I interpreted this backwards and thought of all the ways it would hurt to shoot 🙃

Howdy, long time lurker!

I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand with trying to pull data from my Harmon Absolute43 pellet stove. Looking at the board, I see an RJ45 connector and thought "seems like a wireshark-like sniffer would do the job".

However, all searches end up looking at networking rather than simple data sniffing. Any ideas as to how to add a "bridge" that also stores the data? From there, I can do the publishing side of things, just the hardware component for me has me scratching my head.
