You're welcome.
This show is so well written and made. Levels.👍🏿
A US character upgrades from a cop car to a Rolls, while a South American one downgrades from a convertible to walking the Darién gap?

(Rare work post, you know what I do)
Yes I'm a fan of the creative team that produces Pluribus. Yes, it's an Apple TV show. Because yes, Android users can get the Apple TV App on Google Play, subscribe to it, and watch the show.
Yes I still ask the interview question "Do you like creative people?"
The X-Files producers had a problem: Season 1 was a big hit, but where would they get ideas for another 24 episodes for season 2?
A sci-fi nerd / Twilight zone fan from Virginia went to film school, saw season 1 of the X-Files, and thought it was the coolest show ever. He wrote a fan script for it.
The X-Files producers saw his fan script, and said "This is really good!" So they hired him to be a writer for X-Files season two.
He worked on the X-Files for 7 years.
Then he had a weird idea for a disturbed show about a high school chemistry teacher that becomes a meth dealing drug kingpin.
Great Movies and TV, are made by great Movie and TV makers. Creative people, working together, to produce something new.
Human beings love stories. Some of us go so far as to say that human beings need stories.
Sometimes I think that people forget that our role is to support creative people.
I've never met Vince Gilligan. I don't know him personally. I don't know if he's a nice person.
I only know his work.
Or more accurately, the output of his work. The tiny bit that makes it through all the rough drafts and bad takes, and didn't get cut in editing, and that studios released.
And I know that he didn't produce his shows by himself. He was part of a team, that is in turn part of an entire ecosystem of people and companies and organizations that support the production of creative work that we all enjoy.
I like creative people, and the ecosystem that supports them.
No Twilight Zone? No X-Files.
No X-Files? No Breaking Bad.
No Breaking Bad? No Pluribus.
It's easy to see how the world would be missing something if those never happened.
What's harder to see, is that there are other stories that didn't happen because we didn't support Black producers in 1959.

@mekkaokereke Mekka, I know this is not the point of your post, BUT.
Vince Gilligan, since Breaking Bad, has been making a series of podcasts in which he and various team members talk about the fun and difficulty of making the episode in question. Where did the ideas come from? What were the tough shots? Who were the interesting guest stars? Who on the team did what amazing technical feat to make the fantastical seem real?
They are great podcast episodes.

@_elena still no simple FTP server that doesn't require 287302723 different config files with 0xDEADBEEF command line options.
Honestly if a ftp server is more complicated than `ftpserver $HOME --write --read` then it is a failed one.

Plug Into USB, Read Hostname and IP Address
Ever wanted to just plug something in and conveniently read the hostname and IP addresses of a headless board like a Raspberry Pi? Chances are, a free USB port is more accessible than digging up a monitor and keyboard, and that’s where [C4KEW4LK]’s rpi_usb_ip_display comes in. Plug it into a free USB port, and a few moments later, read the built-in display. Handy!
The device is an RP2350 board and a 1.47″ Waveshare LCD, with a simple 3D-printed enclosure. It displays hostname, WiFi interface, Ethernet interface, and whatever others it can identify. There isn’t even a button to push; just plug it in and let it run.
Here’s how it works: once plugged in, the board identifies itself as a USB keyboard and a USB serial port. Then it launches a terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, and from there it types and runs commands to do the following:
Find the serial port that the RP2350 board just created.Get the parsed outputs of hostname, ip -o -4 addr show dev wlan0, ip -o -4 addr show dev eth0, and ip -o -4 addr show to gather up data on active interfaces.Send that information out the serial port to the RP2350 board.Display the information on the LCD.Update periodically.The only catch is that the host system must be able to respond to launching a new terminal with Ctrl-Alt-T, which typically means the host must have someone logged in.
It’s a pretty nifty little tool, and its operation might remind you, in concept, of how BadUSB attacks happen: a piece of hardware, once plugged into a host, identifies itself to the host as something other than what it appears to be. Then it proceeds to input and execute actions. But in this case, it’s not at all malicious, just convenient and awfully cute.

Had baked beans with dinner, and now having some more. I guess it's dessert.
