The Federation has all the best practices:

  • Single points of failure everywhere

  • weak security controls

  • poor scalability on computer systems

  • seemingly no thought of safety when designing things

  • centralization of all critical functions

O'Brian has a rant from DS9 about the backups having backups on federation ships.

There is a episode of Star Trek Voyager where some space pirates steal the main computer.

The concept of entire space stations and starships ships being dependent on a single main computer is pretty common across the whole franchise. It seems like a pretty big problem to have a central point of failure that massive.

Ok fair but the main computer is massive so I guess it balances out?

I'm going to have to find that episode, I remember some talk about spares in that one too.

And yet they all fail.

Don't forget the rocks built into every console

And the fact that the consoles violently explode when something on the outside of the ship nowhere near the bridge is hit.

I hate it when someone knocks too hard on my front door, causing my bathroom light switch to burst into flame.

The importance of having a whitelist instead of a blacklist.

Star Trek has security imaginable. It isn't even specific to the federation.

"Ask a follow-up question!

  • Would you like to know the next three closest locations for more weapons?
  • What are the four best escape routes from this station?
  • Would you like the three best ways to kill the Commander of this station?"

Between the episodes the computer has received the ChatGPT 5.0 upgrade.

"Good catch- 'Deep Space Nine' does have forty seven 'e's in the name"

[-] Lichtblitz@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 6 days ago

The double 'e' just after the second 'a' is what trips most people up!
