I’m torn. I like the irony of the PAC-12 finally proving it can win it all, but a Michigan win gets us years and years of debate about whether their championship comes with an asterisk because of the sign stealing scandal.

I generally love Kirk’s Watch Grids, but he seems to have a different philosophy when it comes to Bowl Season than me. I think he could have chosen at least one Watch This game per few days.

For example, Miami (OH) v. App State is an interesting game. As the MAC Champion, Miami seems to be on the rise, knocking off a Toledo that I certainly thought would win. App State is looking to bounce back to its 5 game winning streak form and show that its loss to Troy in the Sun Belt Championship wasn’t indicative of their program.

While that game is nowhere near the “Must Watch” status of FSU v. Georgia, it’s one I’ll be watching on the 16th.

Curious what “must watch” games others put on their list that might be flying under the radar.

I’m an east coaster and fell asleep too early to watch this game. But today made me hate realignment even more. The Apple Cup in particular showed how dynamic the PAC-12 is.

I don’t know about anyone else, but for me this has been my favorite weekend of college football this entire season. Every game has been great. Really living up to the hype.

Good luck. I literally went through something similar a few weeks ago. It took a little time but my entire network runs better now. You got this!

You can avoid that by using the same Wi-Fi network name and password that your current network uses. Your devices won’t know the difference.

I just want to reiterate what others have said: do some googling about your router make and model. Look for the instructions for “hard reset” or “factory reset”. Follow those instructions. Once you do, you should be able to find the default login online.

Once you’re able to log into your router, I’d suggest keeping it as your DHCP server and simply following the instructions to set up a pihole with it. Everything seems to work more smoothly without the pihole as DHCP server.

Do you know if your router is acting as a DHCP server? Most do, and if you’ve set up the Pi as one without logging in and turning off your router’s, you’ve set up two conflicting DHCP servers, and that would explain your issues.

This one was particularly funny, but I gotta say, I actually agree with the minstrels at the end. The Who’s In?^tm bullshit ruins this sport.

I’ve been on the Fediverse for years and I’ve never much encountered this. I curate my timelines very carefully. I don’t look at the Local or Federated timelines in Mastodon, Pixelfed, or Lemmy.

That said, I do the exact same thing with all social media. I don’t go to the subreddits that would have such content, don’t follow users on Twitter who spew this content, etc.

I’m not disputing that it’s there, because of course it is. But it’s also there on every other social media platform, and with far more resources these platforms haven’t been able to do nearly anything about it.

I don’t know what the answer is to this propaganda, and I want to make clear that I think it’s awful. But it’s the fault of social media writ large, not the Fediverse.

In fact, I’ve found the Fediverse to be better about calling it out and encouraging defederating offending instances than I’ve seen on traditional social media, which seems to shrug its shoulders at it at best and actively encourages it at worst.

Not a bad idea! I think of works like Kim Stanley Robinson’s Mars Trilliogy, which has a pretty significant focus in the second book about what a new style of collaborative governance might look like. Narrative is always the most powerful way to convince people of ideas, so I say go for it!

What an interesting idea. As this project scales, how would you think of getting around the Reddit API limit problem? This sounds pretty API intensive. I also wonder if Reddit might see this as a TOS violation (particularly when the bot was posting comments) and killing it without even reaching an API limit.

That said, I applauded you for trying to think of creative ways to increase content on Lemmy. One thing in particular that I miss are the questions on niche subreddits, particularly hobby subreddits. You can learn so much just by reading others’ questions. Lemmy doesn’t have the user base and reach to support stuff like that yet, so I like that you’re trying to think of ways to increase that content here.

I have a Pi4 that is running Homebridge and pihole.

What made this episode wonderful was finally taking a look at Orion culture. It’s one of the oldest races in cannon, first showing up in TOS, but we know so little about them. It was fun to dig into that a little.

While Tendi is one of my favorite characters, I do find her backstory a little cliched. Having her and Billups with essentially the same backstory seems lazy. I’m happy they called that issue out with a joke, but it feels unnecessary for Tendi.

That said, I did like how they investigated how this impacted her sister, and created good character tension there. I do hope we get more backstory at some point on all of this about why Tendi hated Orion culture so much, and why so few Orions choose starfleet.

All that said, I found this to be a mostly forgettable episode. It had its moments, but the jokes felt a little off and the plot didn’t draw me in like some of the other episodes.
