My name is Matt. I enjoy helping people with technology related issues. I also like adorable animals.

O! had I the ability, and could I reach the nation’s ear, I would, today, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced.

  • Always appreciate updated and current videos on the process, even if I can’t mimic on Linux.

    Something that has always frustrated me about the editing process is that every program has its own unique features

    Some you get wavlets

    Some you get stacking and aligning

    Some you get level adjustments and curves

    All while most of the programs are deprecated and/or abandonware

    I think currently I have Registax, Auto Stakkar, Siril, PiPP, and Gimp installed for processing just because some programs perform features better than others.








  • I’m rewatching the series right now and wow - those Kino interviews add almost nothing. After skipping those and half the scenes with Chloe, the episodes are hardly 20 minutes long.

    The other issue (in addition to what you put) is that nothing of real consequence happens despite the darker tones. Pretty much every time something ‘bad’ happens, there’s a solution - And usually pretty uninspired. The really bad one imo was when Eli and gang got stuck off world due to the mine collapse.

    The only drama in the show I think I actually enjoyed was Rush v Young.





  • Wow, so many good parts in this…

    Side note: I do not do any coding professionally, just self taught stuff to impressive my business coworkers - but this was really well explained.

    My favorites: Default username and password for accessing the debugger on the trains computer (that apparently can’t be changed)

    Hard coded geofenced coordinates that would disable a train if it was being serviced at a competitors location

    Absolute favorite: the incorrectly programmed date lock that would only disable the train November & December on the 21st-30th

    Hopefully the company is reprimanded for this - here in the US it would probably be a slap on the wrist and nothing else.
