I did do custom firmware for the internal drive for 4k ripping, but didn’t find the right firmware for the external ones (years ago). Maybe I can find it again once we unpack our storage. We are moving to another state now. Thanks for the info!
That’s awesome you have a server for ripping. I made a dedicated machine using my old desktop.
Ryzen 1700, 16gb ram, 12 dvd / Blu-ray drives (one drive does 4k Blu-ray’s) and 2 more usb Blu-ray drives on top.
I ripped so many thousands of DVDs that my neighbor gave me after he passed away.
I’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, black and white laser printer and a color laser printer, several servers.
I had home assistant, Plex, Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, and many other services.
Servers are Ryzen 5950x and the other is a threadripper 24 core.
The other side of the rack was HDMI switchers and some game consoles.
Going to miss the 1gbps fiber internet, we now have Starlink.
If you lie, you loose people trust. It’s extremely difficult to gain that trust back (maybe even impossible sometimes)
I remember as a kid, I met these other kids that would drink from the side of the street. That sewer water was full of nasty including gas and oil runoff from the roads and who knows what else.
I also had an ex that would drink the chemicals under the sink as a tiny kid.
Thanks!
Thanks! We will soon own land and live in an RV. Gotta start somewhere. We are excited for so many new things, new city, new history, new stores, new people.
I had an abusive family member. Whenever they wanted to start fights I would stay quiet. It got to the point of them insulting me every chance they got. I ghosted them for almost 3 years now. Just finally moved out of that house. My wife and I are living in our car, but we are free from abuse and that’s all that matters. That family member truly had a hold on us as slaves. So finding an escape was incredible.
Nothing that I know of. I don’t run much on this phone, and you can see in the screen shot I keep most stuff from running in the background (just my email is on).
No VPN. Only voip is the one built into the phone (Wi-Fi calling) but I’m not on Wi-Fi.
My Mac is packed away at the moment, been traveling.
That I live in a small car with my wife and a cat. lol Never would have ever guessed that.
At least it’s temporary as we are buying land and will soon get an RV and build a house.
I used a spreadsheet and labeled each box AA, AB, AC… BA, BB, BC… FA, FB, etc. it’s 2 digit codes for each box.
I then took pictures of every box as I’m filling them, and make a list of all contents in the spreadsheet.
In the end we have way too many boxes! Yikes. lol Maybe I should have gotten rid of more stuff.
It also happens just locking the phone and coming back, even with no other apps open.
I used to watch AI Peter quite a while ago, turns out it’s still live http://www.youtube.com/@ai-peter
I think it gets the text promos on its discord then it animated scenes based on the topic. Sometimes is funny as heck.
I use several of the suggestions above, but also for IOS (iPhone) I use “Firefox Focus” and it clears everything when I close it and I can watch ad free.
If you are on Linux, you can use heroic game launcher. I have way more than 100 free games from them, and some are really good games.
When I was a kid and learned about the tooth fairy, I figured it was a way to make money, so I used to put mints that looked like a tic-tac almost tooth like under my pillow to trick the tooth fairy lol
Back when I was on windows I would rename .webp to .jpg (or was it .png, it’s been a long time) and it would open. Now I’m on Linux and it just works.
I use a self hosted version called GPT4all (https://gpt4all.io/index.html?ref=localhost) so I don’t have to worry about data getting out.
