I much prefer doing ocr by myself if really needed, than getting an half assed “book” full of typos and broken tables just because someone did an automated OCR but didn’t have the 5-6 hours required to manually edit to make it decent

Already be thankful that someone took the time to flip page by page in their scanner manually and upload it somewhere

Moonrise2473,

About the root problem, as of now new installs are trying to let the user to run everything as a limited user. And the program is ran as root inside the container so in order to escape from it the attacker would need a double zero day exploit (one for doing rce in the container, one to escape the container)

The alternative to “don’t really know what’s in the image” usually is: “just download this Easy minified and incomprehensible trustmeimtotallynotavirus.sh script and run it as root”. Requires much more trust than a container that you can delete with no traces in literally seconds

If the program that you want to run requires python modules or node modules then it will make much more mess on the system than a container.

Downgrading to a previous version (or a beta preview) of the app you’re running due to bugs it’s trivial, you just change a tag and launch it again. Doing this on bare metal requires to be a terminal guru

Finally, migrating to a new fresh server is just docker compose down, then rsync to new server, and then docker compose up -d. And not praying to ten different gods because after three years you forgot how did you install the app in bare metal like that.

Docker is perfect for common people like us self hosting at home, the professionals at work use kubernetes

Moonrise2473,

I just unsubscribe when it becomes too prominent. There was a guy doing a recap of the news of the day in 5 minutes. Suddenly added 2 minutes of ads. Fuck that

Moonrise2473,

The staff commented “we can only know if it works when the movie starts”, and this sentence is let me thinking “expensive royalties would be automatically paid every single time the play button is pressed”

I moved off to zoho

Much cheaper than proton and offers much more.

They’re not doing like proton and close basic stuff like IMAP and SMTP as a way to force you on the official apps

I especially love the feature where you can bounce emails based on domains, keywords or TLDs. My spam folder is finally empty. IMHO bounce back spam is much better, as the spammers get a response that the address is invalid and hopefully stop wasting their limited computing resources on that address.

Zoho is not open source, but proton is a “fake” open source that is mostly used for marketing: they opened only the UI, which communicates with a proprietary protocol to a proprietary server - useless. They also reject or ignore any pull request on GitHub.

Even on peertube with no algorithms it is required to have a thumbnail with exaggerated emotions?

Moonrise2473,

Basically everything on prime video because I can’t stand the lag on the official app

Moonrise2473,

Yes but one is for work while the other is a compensation device

Moonrise2473,

If I understood right they just want any name and any password for the parents mode

But you got the apk for the Chinese market, which is usually ad supported, plus the language barrier

I feel like the Steam Deck is the best proof of Gabe Newell's quote that "piracy is a service issue."

They could have easily crammed the Steam Deck full of stuff to make it hard to use for piracy - locking down everything, making it usable only to play games you legitimately own, force you to go through who knows what hoops in order to play games on it. That’s what Nintendo or Apple or most other companies do....

Moonrise2473,

I very rarely backup game saves but only the thought of being locked to a console puts me off. I can’t possibly invest 100+ hours in a Pokemon game and lose everything of the battery dies, screen breaks, console is forgotten on a bus or stolen, and so on.

Moonrise2473,

the main problems of those blocking orders, worldwide, not only in india, is that while blocks are immediate and done with no supervision directly in the hands of the copyright trolls, unblocks are slow and need 100+ approvals

Continuing my research, how do these "pirates" get the files for nintendo switch games?

In my search for knowledge about piracy and the dastardly fellows who partake in it, I came across an issue. How do these pirates attain nintendo switch games? i can’t seem to understand. may anyone who is well versed in this topic provide some knowledge? much appreciated.

Moonrise2473,

The first batch of Nintendo switch (millions and millions) have an unpatchable flaw that allows the owner to run whatever he wants. They use this flaw to run a program that simply extracts the files from the game cartridge

Help with DVD problem, please.

I got a DVD, never used with cellophane intact, produced in 1993 on ebay. I thought maybe, since I didn’t get a DRM warning, it predated DRM, and I could just copy it to my hard drive, so I did. Both the copy and the DVD are now corrupted and unplayable. I want to fix the DVD then rip it to my hard drive. Googling gives plenty...

Moonrise2473, (edited )

DVDs were introduced in the western market in 1997 so it can’t be produced in 1993.

If it’s an audio cd or a cd-rom, maybe it was damaged from the beginning. I have many original disks from the early 90s that have “disc rot”, the data layer decomposed and are now unreadable. Watch it with a light behind it, if you see many small dots, it has disc rot and it’s now gone

If then it’s actually a DVD from 1993, then it’ a prototype that can’t be read by modern drives because it predated the standard

Moonrise2473,

Yes but there’s so much trash inside…

Channels that do informercials 24/7 should be excluded

What's the easiest/best way to make my own blurays?

Obviously I won’t share where I’ve gotten my files over the years for media but as a physical collector as well, the prices for some bluray collections of things is outrageous and would like to make my own that look somewhat professional. I have a bluray burner and blank bluray discs.

Moonrise2473,

You need something like tmpgenc to make Blu-ray compliant discs

I don’t really understand this though, the cost per GB of a blank double layer bluray is higher than an hard drive. Just store Blu-ray images (or direct rips) on the disc and access them on your device. In this way you don’t need to worry about disc damages, bad burns, lost media, and so on.

At the price of a disc + the time to source and take a full disc rip + the time to source a good scan of the cover and disc surface + printing labels and covers + the bluray box (you said you want to look professional so you aren’t planning to just keep them in a spindle and use a sharpie, right?) You’re basically paying almost the same of a real disc

Moonrise2473,

They have to turn on the brain, gather a list of their favorite creators, subscribe in freetube, then it can have an home page with “recommended” videos

The lack of the algorithm is exactly why I like freetube

Moonrise2473,

Invest now $99 and get $10000 next year is a claim that even a crypto shitcoin wouldn’t do

Moonrise2473,

I create a new email for each new sign up so I immediately know who leaked it. If spam is coming I can close it
