My favorite was the bit about the increased chocolate rations! ๐Ÿ˜„

On Android, Flud has been good to me over the years even though the ads can get annoying at times. Hopefully it helps you get Linux ISOs on your phone with ease :)

That may be to speed up the download using multiple connections. Other downloaders do it on other sites as well, doesn't mean the files are split on the server.

Came late to the party for Firefly but I've watched it. Fuck whoever decided to cancel it.

This was an interesting read. Good to know that from now on I should treat official CDs just like pirated content: with caution.

A 5TB portable hard drive only costs as much as three months and can hold most of the stuff you ACTUALLY wanna watch. To be fair, DVDs and BluRays can get expensive but at least that's yours forever and you don't have to worry about the studio suddenly deciding you need to subscribe to THEIR bullshit too. If it's not available outside of streaming, well Gabe Newell said it best.

This may be more involved than most people are willing to go but just wanna add:

  • This can be painfully slow without a dedicated GPU. Even low-mid range dedicated is gonna be a huge upgrade over CPU or integrated GPU so get one of those (if you can) or prepare to leave it overnight.
  • I recommend playing with Handbrake settings a little. Use options with HEVC (x265) or AV1 for significantly smaller file sizes at the same level of quality. If you're leaning towards x265, an Nvidia card using the NVENC option is gonna be significantly faster.
  • Handbrake has a preview feature which outputs a 30 second segment at the given settings. Very useful if you wanna tune the quality/file size.

Bonus: Look into Jellyfin for a streaming service like interface

All good shows that don't blow up to Stranger Things levels get cancelled and the recommendation algorithm prioritizes mediocre over great. Why would I pay for that ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ
