I use handbrake with libaacs, libbdplus and an up-to-date keydb

With these in place, you can just read and transcode a Blu Ray like any other media.

I fileshare because buying is renting nowadays, and I don’t want to own content that can be revoked because of an expiring agreement, service shutting down, etc.

Flip a couple of tables where this decision was made at the very least.

And Samsung is dropping their app in favor of Google Messages AFAIK.

Seems to corroborate that piracy is mostly a service problem. People will flock where the content is easily accessible and cheaper.

You want to solve piracy? Make the selling/distribution platform not suck and don’t treat your customers like shit.

Looks like OP removed their own upvote that gets added by default when posting (probably by accident).

You should be able to use FlatSeal to override the Flatpak’s sandbox and grant access to VLC’s library files, which should include libdvdcss.

Rougly 3TB of TV shows (720p) and films (1080p, x265 at around 4mbps that I ripped myself including the subs and multiple language tracks), as well as about 500GB of music (FLAC) most of it from my physical library.

Not even because I value or want it, just because it will ruffles the NFT owner’s jimmies.

I usually stick to 1080p medium for movies and TV shows I want to rewatch, 720p for the stuff I’ll watch once.

For movies I try to stick to a 2-5GB filesize, and TV shows between 200-400MB per episode.

I wasn’t using a VPN last time the download didn’t work, but it might have something to do with me using NextDNS and blocking some of their tracking stuff that way.

Unless you compare the checksum is a match from the ones from Microsoft.

Will do, I have a list in fact 😅

EDIT: Done, 2538.

Just one thing I noticed since we jumped to 0.19.4 yesterday afternoon, on a local-only community on our instance it seems we can’t upvote comments in a post, returning with the Couldn't find comment error.

That’s an impressive list of QoL updates, thanks :)

I think it’s beehaw doing something weird, it got federated to other instances just fine

The code block included in my comment

You can even use Markdown file and convert it dynamically to HTML using javascript through Markdeep by just dropping

<!-- Markdeep: --><style class="fallback">body{visibility:hidden;white-space:pre;font-family:monospace}</style><script src="markdeep.min.js"></script><script src="https://casual-effects.com/markdeep/latest/markdeep.min.js?"></script><script>window.alreadyProcessedMarkdeep||(document.body.style.visibility="visible")</script>

at the end of the markdown file. It makes it dead simple to update using a text editor later on and to host on a static website.

At that price point not really, and there is definitely going to be some tradeoffs required between power vs consumption vs price.

Not sure where you’re shopping, but I can’t find it below $200 for 16GB of RAM.
