Have you tried different browsers? You should also enter the full URL sometimes they’re a bit stupid nowadays. So http://192.168.x.x:1500/

Maybe the browsers bring their own VPN. Some process all traffic to make it more “mobile friendly”. Or they have some other kind of proxy.

I’m still salty about how they fucked up Thief 4.

I think they actually are unionized. At least in the UK. That’s what some of the Baldur’s Gate 3 actors said when asked about the anti AI strikes. They can’t participate because of the rules of their union.

If I recall correctly there is even a sentence in the article about the British union starting to tackle this issue.

I can’t believe I’m rooting for ISPs.

Wat?

A bash script would probably be easiest to write and pluck into cron.

Edit: Clone all repos you want into one directory and then loop with a script over all cloned dirs and issue git fetch. Done. If you want to add a repo you clone another.

Copy protection software that is very hard to crack because it seems to be everywhere in the game binary so you have to meticulously go through the whole thing to weed it out.

It’s been known to slow games down because it’s called too often to check if your game copy is not pirated.

The world would be a much less interesting place if someone besides her was cracking Denuvo.

I wish people could learn to read messages. It literally says what it’s complaining about on there.

I cannot fathom why anyone would want to subject themselves to such utter horror.

Hope that doesn’t lead to a crackdown. There’s tons of old and/or obscure movies available on YouTube that you can’t find anywhere else.

MythTV is the magic word. At least it was ten years ago when we were still watching TV. It comes with server and client packages. Kodi can also serve as a client. You can set up automatic recordings, timeshift, it can serve other videos and music. It’s great.

Most antivirus software is more sketchy than random cracks.

Doom got ported to the Switch, right? That’s great!

Luckily I can replay Thief every few years.

I really want to like them. They are everything I want in a game. Open levels you are free to approach however you like, a possible stealth approach, nice attention to detail and one of the later games even had native Linux support. But I never could get hooked to the story like other people seem to be.

I came to the conclusion (based on other games and media as well) that I just don’t like cyberpunk dystopias. Maybe because we’re in one, Miss Turner.

No matter what I play I always get pulled back to Diablo 2. Not even for the grind in the endgame. Just playing the normal game from Normal to Hell.

With newer games I always find myself overwhelmed with a screen full of indistinguishable enemies in later levels until I lose interest.

Put them into a playlist or download and use ffmpeg or possibly Handbrake (not sure if that can stitch together videos).

Try YouTube. I’ve been able to find tons of obscure movies on YouTube, blissfully unperturbed by any DMCA takedowns.

I wonder how that will interoperate with timestamps provided by users in comments or by the video creator themselves. Maybe those can be used to detect inserted ads.

It’s probably limited by your internet service provider. On many plans you only get much less upload speed than download speed. I guess it’s to discourage home users from running a server at home. And to discourage file sharing.

With docker-compose it’s almost there. Putting everything into a script with sensible defaults asking just for what is absolutely necessary should be relatively easy. It’s just that nobody bothered to do that.

Of course, if you want to have a performant instance with more than one user you will have to tweak everything according to your needs. But to simply get up and running isn’t that hard.

You never know.

Stop staring at my cable box. I don’t have a problem!

I like the trash to hook up any hard drive via USB.

Yeah, any additional VPN is unnecessary.

I guess the VPN adds an additional layer of authentication. And of course everything is encrypted by default which might otherwise not be the case.

Plus, with a VPN you can access multiple services.

They read the sentence “Yt-dlp and a cron job” which triggered a hormonal reaction in their brain which they linked to arousal due to prior experience. They used this as an opportunity to retreat to a more private setting and indulge in auto erotic stimulation.

Just make sure to keep the machine updated.

Don’t think so. Maybe ffmpeg can do that.

Yeah, if you have the cloud folder already mounted it should be trivial to re-encode the videos with Handbrake and using the cloud folder as the output directory.

What is your end goal? Do you want to back up your videos with minimal storage costs? Compression won’t help you (because videos are already compressed) unless you can accept data loss through re-encoding. Handbrake (or pure ffmpeg) would be the tool to re-encode lots of files. This could save you space but you may have some loss of quality, depending on the configuration you use and how the original videos are encoded.

If you just want the videos to be available for streaming, tools like Jellyfin or Emby would do the job. They are servers that re-encode your media for streaming on the fly, depending on the client capabilities and your bandwidth settings.

You don’t talk about Usenet.

It’s similar to rule number two.

You forgot the first rule.

If I get my files already compressed they stay that way. If I rip something like a DVD I will just encode it in whatever is good at the moment. Re-encoding usually only makes sense if you can drastically reduce filesize. If you go from one lossy format to another you will always lose quality. So if that just means slightly smaller files I wouldn’t do it.

I very much doubt that they managed to block all porn.

1. try lemmynsfw.com
2. find the sources
3. see which one isn’t blocked
4. wank away

Restarting Firefox usually fixes everything for me.

Trouble is that people want to continue working on it.

Git is already decentralised. Every github-like is interoperable with every other github-like. But just because something works together with many others doesn’t makes it invulnerable to legal takedowns. Nintendo is a gaming company. They have no problems playing whack-a-mole, as demonstrated here.
