Maybe a dumb question: What exactly could go wrong? Has the MPAA done anything to stifle Kodi?


Care to suggest a model? I haven’t seen anything that cheap.


I was going to try ripping a Blu-ray that I bought recently, since I couldn’t find a quality rip anywhere


I don’t have first-hand experience, but I’ve heard that the linux version of MakeMKV does work; though I’ve seen some issues reported in the forum. MakeMKV is even available on nixpkgs.


I don’t know about MicroSD longevity, but I’ve heard BluRay and in particular M-Disc can last 100-1000 years of something crazy. So for archive, it might still be a good option.


I really hope streaming doesn’t become the only option, because even with >1Gbps internet, streaming services generally do not deliver as good of quality as I can get from something like a bluray. Even HBO and Netflix have very noticeable lossy compression.


I’ll give it a read! I wouldn’t have expected much relevant info on the Arch Wiki.


Got it, thanks for the correction. I had never heard of Pioneer before; I must’ve misinterpreted what I was reading on the forums.


Thank you! I found it on Anna’s Archive.


Sadly it didn’t have this one :(


Pretty sure the store requires that you provide a Japanese phone number. That’s where it was complaining for me.
That’s because you’re trying to achieve “optimal”, which is not a requirement if saving time is your concern.
mistakes actually have consequences
You can just copy someone else’s build on PCPartPicker. There are so many to choose from.


Doesn’t that violate rule #3?
You have time to play video games but you don’t have time to build a PC? Doubt.


Less than $100 is tricky, but I’ve been meeting all your criteria with a Beelink EQ14. I also use it as my router.

What are you on about?


Yes, and I appreciate that you pressed the issue because I never heard what ultimately transpired, since I never really cared for the channel before that. But I see they hired a 3rd party to investigate and the conclusion was that none of the allegations were substantiated. Though I haven’t found any mention of a further response from the employee that made the allegations.
Depends on if I had sex or not. I’m not putting them back on after, but I also don’t really see the need to take them off just to go to sleep.
