I just deleted my entire library and redownloaded it.

A lot of my files were shitty 480p versions of movies from the Napster days. Now they’re all 1080p, with a few 720p exceptions (mainly tv series episodes). All in all 500 something files in total. Now just watching uTorrent slowly download them all. Hopefully my VPN keeps the eyes off of me…

roofuskit,

Radar and sonarr would just automatically upgrade those for you. No need to mass delete and redownload.

What is your unpopular flim opinion

I’ll go first. Mine is that I can’t stand the Deadpool movies. They are self aware and self referential to an obnoxious degree. It’s like being continually reminded that I am in a movie. I swear the success of that movie has directly lead to every blockbuster having to have a joke every 30 seconds

roofuskit,

As a huge fan of Star Wars, they are not as good as people claim.

roofuskit,

Most of his other films are better, check them out and then watch Snatch if you still haven’t.

The DCEU ends not with a bang, but a wimper. (lemmy.ml)

10 years after Zod’s snapped neck, Martha, “some kinda Suicide Squad”, CGI moustache, rennouncing your wish, the hiearchy of power changing, and Speed Force PS1 graphics, the DC Extended Universe finally comes to a close. And it ends the same way it started - with a Rotten score....

Did you watch Batman and Harley Quinn? No thanks. As much as I love Batman TAS, Bruce Timm should not be let near new Batman stuff.

roofuskit,

You will get occasional recommendations but they won’t fill your home page as many complain. You can. Also click the dots and tell them you’re not interested in a recommendation and then you get less of them.

roofuskit,

In the US most their training involves how to be more aggressive veiled as training to be assertive.

roofuskit,

Thanks for the heads up, trying Voyager now.

roofuskit,

This is not true. The voltage is 3 times higher, that’s part of why it’s so debilitating. If the power (amperage) was 3 times higher that man would not have gotten back up. Their amperage peaks at about 1 amp, which is enough to do some damage.

6% of car drivers are cold blood animal killers, 89% of which are SUV drivers

ENG
Interesting experiment showing car drivers intentionally going on the road shoulder to kill by standing (fake) animals. Not surprisingly the majority of those are drivers

ITA
Interessante esperimento "scientifico" in cui si vedono automobilisti cambiare traiettoria per investire animali finiti sul lato della strada. La maggior parte guidano SUV

Concrete would be better. Inertia is a bitch.

Ripping Amazon movies

Hi people, since we see more and more complaints regarding old movies being not politically correct anymore, I am getting more and more concerned about some purchases I made some years ago. Specifically, there is a set of local movies in my mother tongue which I bought and therefore want to download them in case they are...

roofuskit,

You don’t. That encryption was cracked long ago and your average HDMI splitter will bypass it completely.

roofuskit,

Myanonymouse

Can’t recommend this one enough.

roofuskit,

Phenomenal

roofuskit,

Solid choice. I’ve shown this one to non-trekkies who haven’t seen TNG and they really enjoyed it even as a stand alone movie.

roofuskit,

Great movie, so bittersweet.

roofuskit,

What do you do with your computer as a hobby?

roofuskit,

Invisibility does not get you out of the bank vault.

Are movie and show file sizes more efficient than they were years ago?

This may be a stupid question, but I just got back into pirating some shows and movies and realize that many of the QxR files are much smaller than what I downloaded in the past. Is it likely that I am sacrificing a noticeable amount of quality if I replace my files with the smaller QxR ones?...

roofuskit, (edited )

Yup, people love film, but film rain can double or triple the bitrate you need for movie.

roofuskit, (edited )

You’re right except for that last part. The newer smaller file size video codecs are really only effective on higher resolution video. So a 720p movie encoded with H.265 to fit on a 700MB CD isn’t going to look much better if at all than older codecs (maybe better than DivX). H.265 really shines at 4K and up but does offer some benefit at 1080p.

roofuskit, (edited )

I assume you mean H.265 recorded on your phone? That is live encoded in a single pass. It doesn’t compress as much in that scenario. When you give a system more time that the real time playback of the video it can encoded things more efficiently.

Louis Rossman/FUTO's YouTube app, GrayJay, now supports Sponsorblock... and shames you if you use it

Seriously this was very surprising. I’ve been experimenting with GrayJay since it was announced and I largely think it’s a pretty sweet app. I know there are concerns over how it isn’t “true open source” but it’s a hell of a lot more open than ReVanced. Plus, I like the general design and philosophy of the app....

roofuskit,

If you really want to support someone on YouTube something like patreon is the way to go. Sponsored videos are life draining and a lot of extra work for paultry pay. But a legion of patreon subscribers can set someone up for a comfortable income from actually making things you want to see.
