I have a VPS (Named "Bucket") I rent and self host a few services on, along with a home server (Named "Vergil") that lives under my basement stairs and I host many more services on.

I've been recommended Terry Pratchett and Brandon Sanderson recently. I've read zero novels by either author. I've also been warned that there is a definitive best place in the canon to start, "and...

This sounds like a bit of a hyper-specific question, but it's happened twice this year. The first one is kinda easily explained. The FX adaptation of Say Nothing was great.

Hey all, I have a root canal shortly, and I thought I'd distract myself from that stress with some things to ponder. What are your best topics that you can regularly discuss or debate but have little real life concerns?

Cop shows or mysteries, snarky comedies like Golden girls or Mash, Roseanne or Barney Miller, Simpsons yes, South Park no. Drama is fine if it's not visually problematic for a child.
