Sure you can convert the DVD to whatever codec, I have found the original mpeg stream to not be very compatible with my devices. When I did 264, it was more for speed. It’s a 480 p/I mpeg2 stream, I don’t think 265 is worth the extra CPU cycles for this case. This is also just an opinion. 👍

True about AC3 being left alone, but dts should be converted, I can’t seem to get that to bitstream as nice as Dolby tracks.

I do reencode my uhd rips, to bring them down to 1080. I only have one 4k display and it’s not worth the bandwidth to try and stream it for me.

Did you try Kodi? Also, I recommend reencoding your dvd rips to h264 with eAC3 audio.

👍

I didn’t read the whole article, but I wonder what’s a good way to transition from a large C# project to rust. I guess we’ll need some common IPC and go from there till the whole project is replaced? Idk . Need to think about this more.

Give me some spin off like the voyages of captain sulu idk anything…

Give me star trek 4 vibes in a new movie…

Bottles was having the same issue. I was attempting to install SimTower off the CD copy I have and they all were having issues running. I believe it’s a permissions issue that I could figure out, but not sure. After spending hours i went down the distro route and it worked perfectly the first time. Was able to run the installation for the game and launch it from wine.

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.

What Linux distro are you using? I’m on Aurora and wine doesn’t really work unless you install it from the distrobox.

😄

The Stumptown aeropress video will give you an idea of using it while camping.

I pan roast and it makes pretty tasty coffee, but doesn’t work well as an espresso bean. For that I stick with something professionally done. I don’t think I would invest in roasting beyond what I’ve done. It’s a good way to understand more about the process/journey that beans undergo.

I have a really hard time getting Aurora working the way all my other Linux devices so that are running some form of Ubuntu (Mate or Bodhi). With that said, it’s been very stable and i like not being interrupted with packages to install while working on things…

Mixed bag review. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

With Aurora, I was unable to get winehq working without installing it from a distrobox instead. I can now play SimTower on my Linux PC.

Next time in South Cali check out Philz coffee. It’s pour over and an interesting menu.

Have you considered roasting beans?

I also started my journey of coffee fun not too long ago. My journey started when I wanted a manual process to replace my drip machine. The gateway drug was the aeropress. I love how quick that think makes a great cup, but the v60 can’t be beat.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren’t insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around…

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

This cold make me go back to moto. I’m only on pixel for the android updates.

This sounds like the WP Engine debate.

What are these cables for when all new displays that support it will have builtin app that everyone is going to use to watch streaming services with. The last time I have seen an external streamer used was for someone with an older TV where the builtin apps are no longer updated.

I get the need for eARC usage, but that’s already implemented… So…?

I avoided transcoding by making sure to only host videos compatible with all clients. Also, I will spend the time to reencode codes that are too large for my taste. Which happens after a rip of uhd disks.

H265 with slow preset really works wonders for non-grainy film. AV1 is what you have to use when there is grain.

Tailscale is what I do. If you make an exit nice they can forever stay on your VPN… I think…
