I’ve spent so many hours on this. I’m trying to get Star Trek TNG to play at 7:30pm on Mondays and Fridays (all seven seasons, sequentially). But my player still just shows “Channel is Offline”.

I’ve scanned local media and the show is detected. I created a channel and a schedule, and set the collection type to the entire series. The playout is paired with the channel. The m3u link shows “Channel is Offline” in IINA (like VLC but for macOS).

Any help appreciated. I’m a bit overwhelmed by the breath of options and documentation.

I know it’s not national news, but in the pre-internet years TNG was huge in Ireland. It was shown by both of our national broadcasters.

I’m discovering so many people I never realised were fans of this show. It really got me more interested in education, philosophy and morality. Not to mentoin technology which at the time seemed promising.

I thought this was excellent. Deirdre Ó Shaughnessy is such a good interviewer and her guest articulates well the perspective of supporting Palestine as someone who is Irish and Jewish.

Delighted to see this turnout and support.

The EU is pushing ahead with a controversial data-sharing agreement with Israel despite warnings that it could enable the targeting and killing of Palestinians, an investigation by the NGO Statewatch has found.

Under the plans, the bloc’s law enforcement agency, Europol, would exchange sensitive personal information about Palestinians with Israel’s police force, which is headquartered in the illegally occupied West Bank.

There is also concern the deal could harm members of the Palestinian diaspora, with a risk that activists in Europe could be targeted.

Here’s a rare piece of heartening tech news to buoy you toward the weekend:

A West of Ireland data center objected to by novelist Sally Rooney has just had its planning permission overturned on the grounds that it breaches Irish national climate policy.

The facility, which was granted planning permission last year despite pushback from local residents, was set to be built in Killala, Co Mayo by Mayo Data Hub Ltd, part of US firm Avaio Digital.
