I wish they would have come out with another season of Asterisk Wars. Not to mention the first ED song was absolutely amazing. Ended up buying the whole album and wasn’t disappointed.

Usually what I’ll do is I’ll recombine the folders into an iso file using mkisofs and then keep the ISO as it keeps all the menus and everything in tact. Later if you want, you can run that ISO through MakeMKV and just rip out an MKV of the main title through. But since I have enough disc space I just rip all my DVDs and BDs to straight ISOs to keep all the menus and extras in tact for later.

Do you think there is censorship here? If so, what of?

I’d lean towards option 3. I view this site as an aggregator and I see plenty of broken images when scrollling through here. It’s not your job to host or proxy those images and working in infrastructure it lends to a lot lighter weight instance that’s easier for you to manage without having to worry about disk, or even worse, bandwidth costs.

The only way I would see option 2 being more beneficial is if it was truly a temporary cache solution where the image gets pulled in 1 time, served out to all lemm.ee users for a period of time (say 24 hours). This would reduce the chance that you end up rate limited, while allowing users to still see the image served via lemm.ee

The proxy on every request solution just seems poorly implemented to me for the reasons you say.

You’re aware of the Streisand effect, right? It actually cuts both ways. I browse all and hadn’t even heard of that sub and a lot of others probably haven’t too. But your whining about the mod and community have brought a spotlight to it which raises the amount of attention it gets, probably not in the way you’re wanting.

Subscribed! The amount of linux fanboyism on this platform has been insane as of late to where if you even post anything factually negative (yes, Linux can get viruses) you get downvoted to hell. It’s nice to see a counter-culture sub once in a while.

As others have said, if you don’t like it, block it.

Yes you can do custom resolutions, it’s on the top right. You can chose source, scale to a specific res, or fix H/W and it’ll calculate the other.

There’s a section for Add subtitles as well. You’d have to play around with it some, I don’t know all the ins and outs.

Shutter Encoder is a nice gui for ffmpeg along with some other features. If you look in the logging you can even get all the flags it sends to ffmpeg and recreate it yourself including the hardware acceleration. Got it after I couldn’t remember SUPER which I used to use.

I just saw that in WandaVision. Darcy is an Astrophysicist but was also hacking through various firewalls to get at some secret data.

There’s nuance to this article. The cost is for the connected services portion, which usually includes the fee for the cellular connectivity the car has to enable the services, that’s not free and there is a cost to maintain that infrastructure. Additionally the “workaround” that someone provided still uses those connected services (again, not something that is just free to maintain).

The shitty part that comes in is that Mazda removed the key fob remote start option from their newer vehicles. That being said though, nothing in the above statements is centered around “right to repair”. If you don’t want to pay for the connected services, then don’t, everything else in your car will still work.

About the only way you could argue for it is a “bring your own SIM” approach but even then, where would it connect to? Who would pay to maintain that? You’d have to allow it to connect to a custom endpoint, but at that point guess what: you’re paying for the cellular connectivity and the server to host an API on to do what you want. That’s still an additional cost beyond what you paid for the car just like the connected services fee.
