Is it OK to use pop media reference for a personal domain name?

I'm finally in a position in my life to afford a personal domain. The name I'd like to use is name of an episode from a moderately popular TV series. The series ended its run few years ago, but I'm not sure how copyright/trademarks work.
So far, I'm planning a strictly noncommercial personal use only. Will the choice of domain name be any trouble down the road?

LaTeX: Using a different font for glyphs used in commands like \sum

Hello everyone. I consider myself fairly competent when it comes to my work with LaTeX, but as everyone who uses it knows, it is definetely strange sometimes. And right now I have a problem which just irks me in the wrong ways:
I use XeTeX and a number of custom fonts for my documents, but when writing mathematical formulas I found out that the font I set for Greek letters (Gentium Plus) is used for letter commands like
\alpha, \Alpha, ...
but not for commands like\sum, \prod
. As you can see in this example here. You can see XeTeX defaults to Computer Modern.I've looked all over the net for solutions but I can't find one. I'm using
mathspec, amsmath, amsfonts, amssymb
as my font related packages and I set my fonts like this:\setmainfont{Charis SIL} \setsansfont{Helvetica Now Display} \setmonofont[Scale=MatchLowercase]{Fira Code Retina} \setmathfont(Digits,Latin){Charis SIL} \setmathfont(Greek){Gentium Plus}
I feel like I'm going insane not solving this problem. Should you require it, my entire LaTeX template is here on Github. Please help, thank you.

IBM System/370 Mainframe emulated on a Raspberry Pi Zero
@brianroemmele: I will let out a bit of a secret. I have been running a full IBM System/370 Mainframe on a $5 Raspberry Pi Zero for ~5 years. About 7 times faster System/370. Millions of lines of COBOL JCLs running flawless on a battery. Tested an entire bank's mainframe COBOL on it.
