I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?

Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.
Skyrim and Fallout 4 really need a CPU with very good single threaded performance. If you have a lot of cores, make sure nothing is running in the background so you can get a higher boost speed on the cores the game is using.
It doesn’t let me select more than 1 file to add.
It’s easier to type a command than it is to add files to Handbrake one at a time. I can also run multiple encodes simultaneously. It takes 2-4 to max out my CPU depending on the codec and resolution.
Handbrake is good for a few files, but I still prefer ffmpeg when doing a large batch.
You can use the --download-sections
parameter to specify a time range. --download-sections "*0-600"
would download the first 600 seconds to the nearest keyframe. To make it exact, you would have to re-encode the video after downloading it.
For making the thumbnail square, you will probably have to write a script to extract it, crop it, and re-insert it.
It sounds like he wants everything done server side like they did in the mid 90’s. It’s certainly possible, but it won’t result in a very good user experience. The whole page would have to reload to change anything on it.
Just make sure the VPS will shut down if the bandwidth is exceeded rather than giving you a big overage charge.
It looks like they are trying to compete with fedex on how much damage they can do to your package.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
With Wayland, programs still can’t restore their window position or size. It sure would be nice if they could get basic functionality working.
If your ISP provides IPv6, set that up. Everything will have a globally routed address, so your domains will work from your LAN and the internet. If you don’t have IPv6 available, get a free tunnel from Hurricane Electric.
I would only recommend using it if a native package is not available or you need a newer version than what’s available.
Half the time I will just compile from source when I see how much space a flatpak and its dependencies will take up though.
There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
Since you can have multiple IPv6 addresses on one machine, you can use a rotating address for all outbound connections and a permanent address for inbound connections. If you visit a malicious website that tries to attack the IP that visits it, there will be no ports open. They would have to scan billions of addresses to find the permanent address. All of that scanning would be easily detected and blocked by an IDS.
NAT works fine until you get stuck on CGNAT and can’t host anything on IPv4 without using a VPN.
Which is why so much work has been going into Wayland, which will replace X11.
