My podcasts fall into two groups:
Linux/Tech
- Destination Linux
- Late Night Linux and its brethren
- Linux GameCast and its sister show LWDW
Urbanism
- The War on Cars
- The Urbanist Agenda
- Strong Towns Podcast
- Upzoned
They release on almost a daily schedule, so I always have something to listen to.
SYAC: It’s a new species of feather star, aka an adult sea lilly.
American healthcare work is a joke.

I found the actual list for 2023. Kinda crazy that Bill Gates has dropped to #6 and Zuckerberg isn’t on the top 10 list at all anymore.
In the US: you are legally allowed to have a backup copy of any media you have (digital -> physical, physical -> digital, or any other match up). Since you own the physical copy of these movies, this means you’re allowed to have the digital one as a backup.
Your physical disks are encrypted, and breaking said encryption to make a copy is technically illegal. Downloading the files from somewhere is not illegal, but sharing them is.
With all that said, if you own the disk, and either download or torrent without seeding, you’re well within your rights legally.
Your other option is to use Handbrake or another disk ripping software, along with dvdcss or aacs and rip your disks yourself.
The only one I’m familiar with is TimeLimit.io on F-droid
