Sector 004 Infrastructure: Fully Documented. 🖖🚀
I've mapped my entire network into a unified, LCARS-inspired tactical ecosystem. From the "Subspace Gateway" to the "Hive," everything is accounted for.
The Grid: 📡 Core: 5-Port Gateway expansion 💻 Edge: 8-Port hub for workstations 🧠 Collective: PoE+ 8-Port switch for the Hive 🤖 The Hive: RPi K3s cluster with Netdata telemetry

Just venting:
I am a long-time #StarTrek fan... but I fucking hate the #LCARS design language. Massive swoops of useless blocks of color eating up and cluttering screen space, containing equally useless numbers to look "sci-fi"; an ugly-ass font-choice; and annoying beeps and boops to sound "sci-fi" too. Discovery and Strange New Worlds do it so much better. Even DS9's Cardassian design was more appealing.
Let LCARS die, Trek fandom, I beg you.
In the Starfleet Technical Manual, there is a throwaway detail of the LCARS user interface that when it is upgraded, users can still utilize the previous several versions. This is because their work is mission-critical and it is unacceptable to compromise the mission by forcing unfamiliar changes; eventual retraining is part of their job, but the flexibility allows them to take the retraining at their own pace.
I think about this from time-to-time and how this is still a sci-fi idea that is seen all too rarely in how we do actual computer UIs.
