    Ugh, I got stuck in a Tholian web once at a Equinix datacenter.

    Took four hours for the guys to figure out how to repolarize the emitters to get me out.

    Really really annoying.

          Trick question. Star Trek Enterprise is both, because Berman.

          The gif is from the 2 parter “In a Mirror Darkly” late into season 4.

            The fucking decontamination scenes were the worst offenders in Enterprise. But Lower Decks making fun of it was pretty good.

                  Nice. Stamets can add it to his collage of Trek shirtless guys.

          • Ah. I skip a lot of neutrek; most everything between DS9 and Lower Decks, although I am watching Strange New Worlds and find it about 50% enjoyable. I have a hard time with all of the retconning. :shrug:

            A lot of this stuff goes over my head. Trauma from some of the later movies, and the dark turn everything took during DS9 put me off.

      I think this one was net+ but yeah. I was trying to find something to bore me enough to let me fall asleep and instead I found this gem.

    If I’m getting more troglodytes stuck in my Tholian web, they’re getting the Rays! This is why we have a Min Cage people!

    A mantrap is like a turnstyle that goes up to the ceiling, or something like an airlock. You can still tailgate someone through it and they might not say anything. Never let someone else in. Make them badge in or get security to help them even if you know them.

      Good luck trying to get two people through most datacenter man traps. They weigh you and monitor whose in the trap. You can’t even sneak equipment out.

      This is good advice. You never know who might be a changeling infiltrator.

      Make one with 4 90 degree sections that turns exactly twice per swipe. Anyone tailgating gets stuck in the side, and then the pitfall opens.

  • Can anyone who’s in data center security explain why it’s a good thing to limit the number of people in the center at one time?

    I’d think setting up a system where only one person is allowed to be in there, alone, would be far worse.
