    Don’t do it. Please don’t. As someone married into a family of Mexicans who are very open about the state of Mexico please don’t. If my fluent wife who is familiar with the area would not feel safe then I stress to not do it.

    It’s a shame. Beautiful country. Wonderful people. But you are very much at the whim of others and please do not.



  • 20 years on giant enterprise codebases. And any enterprise worth their salt at this point will be scanning these servers and flagging eosl software.

    My experience the last five years of the 20 - security and service life trumps all fucking complaints about complexity.

    To the point where it’s the opposite and I’m fielding weekly questions about why we’re still running an older 3.7.9 version. Among 50 other things.





  • Love all the ideas. Was an avid subscriber on the platform I won’t name - and support them here.

    One opinion though - and not a ride or die opinion - just a thought. What if you made tags to categorize certain options. #vintage for things that are old and outdated but may still be obtained.

    So still allow it - just make sure it can be quantified and understood by readers/posters.

    I’m not a fan of certain days - that just discourages participation - but tagging is a great option to allow posts at any time but allow others to filter.

    Couple of tag ideas

    • vintage for older items
    • promotion for self promotion
    • diy for posts that encourage instructional material

    This way you don’t push off posters and allow a gentle path to posting and categorizing that will help others later on to filter and search. If I ever went to a sub-thing and saw a rule to not post until x day - I just ignored it and moved on to other communities.




  • I won’t help the conversation here but I really tried to give them a shot. I don’t know if it’s Brian Herbert or the second author that is bad - but it was just such bad writing. I even gave it another shot years after I finished the last Frank Herbert book in a second attempt. Got halfway through before just getting frustrated with it. Tried multiple books just to mark sure I wasn’t hiding one too harshly.

    I wanted to. I wanted more Dune content. I may have even given it much more of a chance than I would with any other sci-fi series.


  • That’s a shame - ep 4 is when it really kicked in for me. I think if it didn’t have forward momentum then I would have probably been more meh about it.

    It did have a great setting, tone and actors. Even though I like it - still feels like there is some wasted opportunity to me.
