I don’t know; I’d rather watch all of Discovery than some of the horniest Enterprise episodes…
Except Metro Center got torn down.
Persistence should be near impossible; you most likely have a bad habit or other factor that makes you vulnerable. As others have said, check your router settings; make sure your router firmware is the latest to patch any vulnerabilities. Check devices on your network to make sure none are compromised.
My first guess, like others, is you're doing something horribly wrong with your port forwarding, followed by you're installing suspect software. Don't go installing from random Github/Gitlab repositories without at least doing a bit of background research. Also, sometimes even legitimate open source projects get compromised. Ultimately, try to stick to the bare minimum, just stuff from the Debian repos, and see if it still happens.
If you still have the problem, then my last resort is to ask this (and this is really paranoid, hopefully an unlikely scenario for you): do you use your computer in a safe environment where only people you trust can access it?
I mostly ask because if not, maybe someone has physical access to your computer and is pulling an evil maid attack, installing the software when you're not looking. Maybe it's a jerk coworker. Maybe it's a creepy landlord. A login password is not enough to defend against this; it may be possible for the attacker to boot off a USB stick and modify system files. The only way to prevent this is to reinstall and use full disk encryption, which I do on my laptop. You can try to use Secure Boot and TPM^1^ to add further protection, but honestly, your attacker just sounds like some script kiddie and probably won't perform a complex attack on your boot partiton.
1: Despite their obnoxious utilization by Microsoft, they can actually be quite useful to a Linux user, making it possible to set up auto-decryption on boot that doesn't work if the boot partition has been tampered with (in which case you use a backup password).

Please don't form your entire opinion of TMBG based off this one very obscure, ridiculous song.
And the same goes for the kids albums. Doctor Worm, Particle Man, and Istanbul. Heck, please listen to at least one non-Flood album, maybe say Lincoln or Factory Showroom.
I press X, and they make up some BS about how your unorthodox solution changes the warp geometry in just the right way. Picard gives you some sort of rant about being more careful in the future, a neutral relationship impact. Meanwhile, Chief tactical Lieutenant Murder-Anything-That-Isn't Human is so impressed their bio now says they want to marry you, though you know that will quickly change to shove you out an airlock unless you are a total psychopath.
I think I largely agree with your points.
I’m also really annoyed that the choice tree required a website that no longer works. Additionally, for the overall results of the graphics, I’m rather bugged the game is that hardware intensive and think they could have easily optimized to make this game more accessible to lower-end hardware. I did my entire playthrough on an AMD laptop with iGPU (on Linux through Proton), and it was mostly playable.

One of the worst parts graphically was the tractor beam at the mining facility; if I looked away from it, I could do around 24 fps, but the moment I looked at it, the game game became a slideshow.
However, it was still really fun, and I only payed $12.50 for it.

I wish I didn’t have to hate Bedrosian, but the universal hate is deserved. She suggests genocide with the frequency Worf suggests firing phasers or Shaxs suggests ejecting the warp core. I really wish they would have toned it doen a bit or written her differently.
Also, I wish we had more time with Urmott; as good an officer he was, he had less chance to impress me than Westbrook, and thus I couldn’t choose him as first officer. Part of this is just an inherent structure issue with Starfleet (as summed up in Eddington’s “you don’t get to be captain wearing a gold uniform” or the story of Harry Kim), but honestly, for being the first officer you meet (besides Ensign cannon fodder), his story underwhelms.
Though really, if I could really choose, I’d try to make the doctor my first officer, though I’m not sure she would have accepted.
I did really enjoy the starbase and Resolute environments, and I wish more games would immerse the player in a Starfleet ship that way.
Also, anyone else think the space British empire aliens all just looked like a realistic rendering of Squidward?
Honestly, ENT looks pretty good. I mean, not as good as TOS remaster, but being done natively in 720p (and even 1080 in later seasons), it doesn't look that bad.
Honestly, GIMP feels like it's been getting rapidly more livable as a photo editor recently.
Like, I still wouldn't call it suitable for professional use, but it's been causing me noticeably less pain since they finally introduced some non-destructive editing.
I like to imagine there’s just another Musk that’s better known in the Trek universe…
I remember my 1st Surface Go’s microSD card reader being pretty good.
Funny, but I personally prefer in in the original Klingon:
Once by Archer in ENT:"Carpenter Street" (though T'Pol did more of the work), and another by Paris and Tuvok in VOY:"Future'sEnd".
No answers like, "They're all from Earth", "They're all in some version of Starfleet or United Earth Fleet", etcetera.
My Answer
All three have stolen a Dodge-branded car.
In fact, Paris and Archer stole nearly exactly the same kind of blue Dodge Truck, Archer in ENT:"Capenter Street" and Paris in VOY:"Future's End". I found this out while browsing the Memory Alpha facts for the Enterprise episode.
Bonus if you can think of other weird ones.
I’ve been on a bit of a button-making kick, and here’s my latest one.
Bonus: The earlier one I did for TMBW. It needs some work in the margins - I just haven’t gotten to it yet.

I wanted a very 90s web-feeling GIF of a TOS science division badge(technically animated WEBP, but whatever), so I threw together the badge in Inkscape, then imported it into Blender to do animation and rendering.
I decided to make the border gold instead of the canon black, as it just looks every so slightly cooler during the spin animation in a very dumb way. I also went for metallic rather than trying to mimic embroidery because I was lazy.

EDIT: The Harry Kim thing is more of a joke. This is less a question about Harry Kim and more about Nog.
Something about Nog's literacy history brings up a ton of weird questions in-universe.
Even for as class-based a society as the Ferengi, lower level workers have to have at least a little literacy to read instrument panels, repair ships, make sure they're carrying the right package, etcetera.
I think a key example here is Rom, who starts out a relatively typical exploited Ferengi - how would he read manuals to repair a holosuite without literacy.
I see two explanations. One, perhaps by "reading", they're referring to reading of a lengua franca like Federation standard - Nog has learned and is capable of reading the Ferengi language, but not another. When dealing with other languages, the general expectation is either a universal translator is used or they pick it up as they go.
Alternatively, it could be that it is expected in Ferengi culture that reading is just something you pick up on the job rather than in a concerted educational effort.
Of course, it is said and implied that after the school closes, Keiko teaches Jake and Nog one-on-one. Some education definitely happened off-screen.
Still, Starfleet seems to have educational requirements. In LD:"Something Borrowed, Something Green", Tendi mentions how she wouldn't have gotten into the Academy without having gone to high school, suggesting Nog needs the equivalent of a high school education to train to be a Starfleet officer.
It sounds a little ridiculous to go from being unable to read to a full high school education in less than three years, though that could be a bigger stretch than I'm making it out to be.
I'd say the simplest explanation is probably that again, Nog was more educated than we might interpreting being "unable to read" to mean.
It might be possible Ferengi also have higher-than-human-average neuroplasticity and simply adapt easier - this might even aid in the on the job theory.
So what are your ten cents? Also, it's been a while - glad to be back on Daystrom.
EDIT: Accidentally duplicated post. Please see https://startrek.website/post/25896182 for all responses and put future responses there. Also, I have more theorizing there.

I know that this one's been tackled twenty thousand million times and you're probably tired of seeing time loop memes by now, but like the urge to stick Gowron eyes on everything in the universe, I couldn't resist this intrinsic urge.

I recently got a rather pristine copy of They Might Be Giants' 1996 single S-E-X-X-Y, mostly for a few bonus tracks unavailable on streaming. Like, it was in shrink wrap with hype sticker, albeit shrink wrap on its last legs - good enough that the rest of it was still in near mint condition, but too damaged for it to be worth keeping on, so I took a 2400 DPI scan of the hype sticker and removed it. Don't worry - I kept the hype sticker.
I want to keep it very fresh - I ripped the CD to my PC and plan on never taking it out of the case again. For now, I have put a zip lock around the case to prevent it gathering dust or getting fingerprints from handling.
However, since it's an FLP case, I am more worried about the case being crushed than a typical jewel case. While I don't plan on getting too ruff with it, I want something a bit harder.
Thus, I was wondering if any of you guys have any particular strategy for this case?
I've looked into CD display cases, but am otherwise having trouble finding results that aren't just CD jewel cases. I was thinking maybe something like the anti-theft containers retailers keep video games in, if they ever made a CD-sized version.
I think it gets good when he goes from unintentionally annoying to well-meaningly annoying.

After they write off Kes, the writers write Neelix much better, and he becomes sort of the uncle of Voyager.
