God no. X264 is way worse than x265 is way worse than av1 for quality by size.

Yes, everything made in the past 15 years can do x264, but that does not mean it is a good idea. Only do x264 if you have a specific device that needs it. Otherwise, x265 is a better choice for long term storage.

I did a comparison trying to find where my personal "good enough" and techinically indistinguishable crf levels were at a little while ago. It may be worth looking into as a start. I've never really touched hdr before though.

Comparing compression levels

Skipping the audio encode from a blu-ray will lose op out on a surprisingly large amount of space, especially with 110 source disks. I checked one of my two hour blu-ray backups. Audio will net you about nine audio tracks (english, french, etc). A single 5.1 448kbs audio track will take about 380MB of space per movie. Multiply that by nine (the number of different tracks in my sample choice) and you'll get 3420MB per disk. That means about 376GB of space is used on audio alone for ops collection. A third of a terabyte. You can save a lot of space by cutting out the languages you don't need, and also by compressing that source audio to ogg or similar.

By running the following ffmpeg command;
ffmpeg -i out-audio.ac3 -codec:a libvorbis -qscale:a 3 small-audio.ogv
I got my 382MB source audio track down to 200MB. Combine that with only keeping the language you need, and you end up dropping from 376GB down to 22GB total.

You can likely save even more space by skimping on subtitles. They're stored as images, so they take up a chunk of space too.

It's open source, so you're right, it won't. I use mine as a jellyfin box.

Tl:dw; She's a social person and cobol is an antisocial type of job, there's nothing wrong with the cobol job industry as a whole, and it's generally an incredibly stable position to have.

I think you've got it backwards. This only excludes new information from the past two years. Literally everything else is majorly improved.

Not gonna spend a whole lot time arguing intent; you can see what was posted already.

Per unexpectedhazard above;

This only makes sense for a very limited set of things tho.

I'm saying that news is a very limited set of things that you look up on google, and literally everything else will improve with this trick. Just because a single user only spends their google time looking up news articles does not mean that everybody does that. It might be of limited use for unexpectedhazard, but frankly, unexpectedhazard is an exception, not a representative example of most people.

We all know google search has been shit for longer than two years, it's just that before 2023 you could at least eventually find what you were looking for. These days, you can't even do that.

Does anybody else feel guilty being suspicious of anybody in a black hoodie with the hood up?

Specifically because I live in a hot climate, I’m always fighting the feeling of being suspicious of anybody I pass in the streets with a hoodie pulled up. I feel guilty because of racial profiling associated with hoodies, but gotta protect myself and my family, especially because in many cases the perpetrators of assault and...

Yep. I've been told multiple times that a beard is a severe prospect limiter; a large chunk of women will write you off just for that. Turns out some dudes can't keep it clean and the rest of us have to suffer the consequences of that.

Poke your landloard about it ahead of time, you might be able to avoid late fees and missunderstandings about it. "I just started a new job and my paycheck is expected five days after rent is due, can we come to an agreement" is a perfectly fine way of doing things. If your new sugar daddie offers to pay the rent, you even get to keep it or, or pay early depending on what makes you feel better.

If theyre assholes about the whole thing, you know to not say shit if this comes up again. Let them be the ones counting on a check that doesnt show up on time.

No, it works. Just, be aware that this is literal stealing and can have all the consequences thereof.

What're some of the dumbest things you've done to yourself in Linux?

Switched to what i thought was an old install usb; it had a close enough directory list to what i expected that i then went ahead and rm -rf * the whole thing.

Turns out that was my / directory. I only noticed because things stopped loading from the drive into memory. Everything still running actually still worked for the most part.

If you're putting it in a box it is going to cook itself to death regardless of its need or lack of need for fans. If you're putting it on a dirty floor convection is going to move the dust into it anyways.

If youre putting it in a shop, consider hardware purpose built for that.

They are and it is. This was anounced two months ago, though i didnt find any articles about google paying for or directly contributing to videolan for the use of it.
