Oh yeah, Chem Dawg is a strain of THC cannabis as well. I would hope that the name means they crossbred a THC plant with something like Cannabis Ruderalis to make a low-THC version but who knows, they might have just picked a name they like!

Blend it with some high CBD flower! Something that I learned when I started growing was that most of the strains now are so intense be cause we’ve bred basically all of the CBD out of these new strains. Mixing with some CBD flower will help make it more mild, and possibly reduce side effects like anxiety.

Damnit Wesley!

Surely Janeway could have found a way to do the right thing and get two Tuvoks out of the deal. Could name the second one Twovok!

It’s all fun and games until you have to spend 3 actual days ripping 50 blu-ray disks to your media server.

Gonna turn an old vacuum tube into an extruder nozzle to keep that nice, warm analog sound.

Can’t wait til 3d printers get good enough to make records so i can stock up on audiophile filament!

I would also put a good bit of the blame on executives and marketing people being way out of touch with the average person.

i haven’t seen academy yet, have they explained how the Jem’Hadar were able to breed? In DS9 they were grown synthetically by the Changelings afaik.

this is so cursed

Yeah. To be honest on the DNS side it would probably be far easier to just do a whitelist instead, block everything except your specific service. and yeah, its a stupid amount of work. i hate smart tvs but i’ll be damned if im gonna pay extra for a streaming box =|

just saying its possible

Not sure if you mean hardcoded DNS IPs or hardcoded “phone home” IPs. Hardcoded DNS addresses in devices are annoying, the only way i’ve found to get around that is using destination nat rules (DNAT) which requires more than a consumer router typically. hardcoded phone home IPs would get blocked by your firewall. you’re right that most firewalls are set up by default to implicitly allow outbound traffic. you set up a rule that explicitly denies all outbound traffic from the TV, then only allow port 443 (or whatever port your streaming service uses) on the specific IP/IPs that your service uses. Here’s Netflix’s published IP info for example.

edit also i’m fully aware it’s fucking ridiculous that we as consumers have to go through this much rigamarole. you shouldnt have to be a literal network engineer to do something as simple as have an internet-connected tv that doesnt spy on you.

no it helps to block everything that isnt just netflix or whatever streaming service you use. you combine a DNS adblock along with blocking all the unused ports and it severely limits the communications. you could also add a vpn to add another layer of security. idk about jellyfin but most streaming services i know use https/443 to stream to your tv. so youre only allowing the specific service you want and only on a specific port. buncha great dns blocklists here https://github.com/hagezi/dns-blocklists, and a smart tv specific one for pihole here https://github.com/Perflyst/PiHoleBlocklist/blob/master/SmartTV.txt

It’s relatively easy to restrict a smart tv to TLS/HTTPS traffic only using your router and a dns adblocker.

hence the quotes around their. these people are flat out anti-american.

consumer level copyright infringement is generally a civil matter, not a criminal one. you’d have to be doing something like selling bootleg dvds for it to turn into a criminal issue.

For me it was buying star trek the next generation on blu-ray and getting annoyed with having to flip through fifty disks to watch an episode.

The problem of non-white people being in “their” country, I would guess. But I don’t care to dig too deeply into the psyche of these monsters.
