I usually opt for 720p for movies and SD for shows. They’re good enough for me and I can store way more. The other thing is the devices and screens are dated now so at some point in the future I’ll probably want to get it all again at better quality but for now it does the job.

Not sure what works best in your case. I’m a Debian cat myself but I have been considering openbsd as a future option.

Death penalty for pedos would be a quick deterrent

Just a vpn

Thankfully this was discovered before hitting stable distros but I’m hoping it increases scrutiny across the board. We dodged a bullet on this one.

👏👏👏

Same

Cause fuck peoples lives, their hopes and dreams… Gotta get them dollar bills.

😪

I’m glad they are not rushing a new one out until there is some genuine leap in the tech. I think we have become accustomed to pointless upgrades every year which offer nothing substantial other than lining some shareholders pockets.

In my case the longer they take the better 😊

That was really interesting. Thank you for sharing with us.

I’ll pick it up in a few years in a sale when all of the bugs are ironed out and the proved has dropped

I have a rough outline of things I’d like to see. Such as some tourist attractions , nature sites , zoos , museums etc.

We do as many as we can but also eat out along the way. We avail of metro , trains and walking where possible. If the city has a river or canal tour we usually do that too.

Mainly it is just to unwind and get away from the rat race for a few days.

Sounds like some journey. Do you have any specific memories that stand out during your travels ?

Torrenting is one thing but I wouldn’t be trusting a VPN to protect from anything to attract the heat of the law or government.

I’d try each application one by one. Maybe write a script to monitor load and stop the program if it goes past your desired threshold and notify you.

It could also be a setting in some app like photoprism or immich … I think one of them uses tensorflow to classify images. That would increase the load if thats running in the background.

Maybe try them with an empty directory so there is no data to process and see if you encounter the error. Then add some data and see how the load is.

I prefer x264 since all my devices can play it, though x265 is great for file sizes.

Thankfully they managed to find eachother. I hope many others can find their families too.

Vitamin C , lots of water. Rest and real non processed food such fresh fruit and vegetables. I also avoid carb heavy meals when unwell to give my system a break. I still eat some carbs but just keep it light.

EA and Ubisoft.

Most clothing brands… I’m not paying a premium to be a walking advertisement and its all made in sweatshops anyway. I’d rather some non branded stuff so I’m contributing less to that whole system.

I dont care about all of the android watch or apple airtag stuff either. The new phone can do xyz… Great still dont care as its a tracking piece of shit that will break in a few years… I may as well keep my current piece of shit until the wheels fall off.

Subscription services. I used to use Netflix back in the day when you only needed one subscription and changing the DNS still worked.

I use free Spotify with brave adblocking and newpipe for music. I hear sailing is lovely this time of year.

TLDR: I avoid most corporations where I can , I think valve are the only one that I dont mind interacting with.
