crossover, to piracy in I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

There are only 10 seasons of The Simpsons and I won’t have it any other way!

crossover, to piracy in Long storage life curiosity

Depends what you consider “long term”. My suggestion would be a NAS unit with dual drive redundancy. And additional backup device as well. For consumer level stuff, Synology units with hyper backup are a good solution.

crossover, to piracy in Question regarding ripping dvds (yes DVDs)

The best way to compare is to re-rip one of your already ripped DVDs. Use MakeMKV and play both back and see if you can tell the difference.

But if we are talking popular movie DVDs, then I’d just grab the Bluray copies from a torrent site. The quality will be far superior.

crossover, to piracy in Has anybody seen any of The Creator rips?

The film uses an intentionally wide aspect ratio. It also has a lot of added film grain, also intentional. But the grain messes with low bitrate rips. Grab the 20gb+ 4K Web-DL rip to get it in the best possible quality.

Oh nice. Didn’t know about this. Seems like an interesting solution!

crossover, to piracy in What is the motive behind private trackers?

I’ll be honest I’m not trying to preserve knowledge I just want high quality stuff for free. Private trackers weed out the low quality files and keep the system healthy by also weeding out people who just leech files without seeding anything back.

crossover, to piracy in Which is the best piracy option of a streaming adapter in the market?

Nvidia Shield or AppleTV4K.

I use an AppleTV4K with the Infuse app to connect to my NAS. Works flawlessly.

Infuse also has support for Plex. I haven’t tried using it with Real Debrid but it does work apparently by adding it as a WebDAV source.

crossover, to piracy in How to begin setting up a media center?

If you want to play the files back on your TV…get an Nvidia Shield and run Kodi. Or an AppleTV and run Infuse. Both can connect directly to your network file share and build a nice looking library UI. No need for an intermediate server such as Plex or Jellyfin. But give those a try if you want.

crossover, to piracy in Disney is gouging customers with a near doubling of subscription costs.

Good point. I’m personally not doing any transcoding so it doesn’t affect me.

Buy a NAS unit such as a Synology DS923+

Add 4 drives to it of equal size. One drive’s worth of space will be sacrificed for redundancy and they’ll all be combined into a single storage drive.

I have 4x 18TB drives giving me just under 50TB of usable storage. Any single drive can fail with no data loss, and I just replace it and keep going.

crossover, to mildlyinteresting in in Australia, when we pay taxes, we get a receipt. The receipt shows what our taxes were spent on

My guess is this is mostly support payments for people who are unable to work.

crossover, to asklemmy in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

I felt similar. Then I had a kid and seeing the world through their eyes brings much of it back. Nothing quite like the rush of emotions (and sleep deprivation) of being a parent to a young child.

crossover, to asklemmy in What is some good things to do with a new pc/laptop/computer?

Unity, Unreal, and Godot are popular game engines with good communities and tutorials available. Or try something simpler like Game Maker.

Just jump in and experiment and there’s no wrong choices. Think of it like digital play crafting. Just explore and see what you can do.
