a regular DVD

Yep, single-layer.

Yeah, seems like an intentional thing, otherwise it makes little sense not to be allowed to watch an ad… 🤪

😅 I’m not sure if I am, to be honest.

Yeah I have like 16 TB of raw storage (no backups, kek) but I’m nearing filling that up soon actually. 🏴‍☠️😅

But I do intend to set up a NAS and a Pi or something that talks to the NAS and serves Plex or (preferably) Jellyfin. Also it would act as a seed box.That would be sweet. I don’t know where to start looking into what I need though. I want a Pi because it should run 24/7 and reboot very seldom, and it needs to be small because I live in an apartment and don’t have a basement or anything like that. This is all so I can let my desktop computer rest when I’m not using it.

That seems like an odd error code to receive, to me. 403 is a permissions problem, right? Forbidden request.

Or, I guess it makes sense if you’re a scraper of some kind? Maybe? Someone would be able to explain the behavior to me, I’m sure. 🙏

combined they’re something like the size of one or two 4k Blurays

Ha! That’s pretty funny to me.

I think that would be a fun hobby for me, if I had the time for it. To gather a sizable blu-ray collection, and rip into a smaller size media library. There’s so much to get into though, with all the codec options and settings and quantizing and shit. Mind-boggling when you haven’t even started researching yet. 😅

It is 😅 Words have meaning!

No harm done. I’m mostly just being facetious. 😅❤️

But they wrote “DVD”. I’m just nitpicking.

Bingo.

Exactly. And a regular DVD caps at 4.7 GB if I’m not mistaken. Not even close.

Surely not? DVD is 576p/i (PAL) and 480p/i 💀. Not even 720p. 720p looks like garbage on a 4K display IMO. I really hope you are getting higher resolution from your streaming services than that, otherwise I think you’re getting ripped off. (Streaming services are a ripoff to me regardless, but that’s another point.)

When someone buys or rents a DVD, they […] can also watch the content if the Internet goes out and be certain that they’re getting uncompressed 4K resolution.

I’m sorry, is this a special version of DVD that can store 4K video? Uncompressed?

I tried to watch a DVD lately (as in past few years). Holy. Yeah. Not as I remembered. It’s not even 720p. Looks like manure on my 65" 4K OLED. 💩 And the audio. I had to stop.

I think it was Band Of Brothers? Had to download a 1080p boxset at least. Then it was consumable.

🏴‍☠️ Yo-ho! 🫡

Privacy simply means that private data is not disclosed or used

Right, and often for that to be the case, the transferring and storing of data should be secure.

I’m mostly just pointing out the fact that when you do x ≠ y ≠ z, it can still be the case that x = z, e.g. 4 ≠ 3 ≠ 4.

Just nitpicking, perhaps.

But in some way, privacy ≈ security. Very intertwined.

Maybe you’re right. I’m not here to argue with anyone over Elon, I’m just here for the show/trainwreck and the popcorn lol.

I am wondering why there is such a down vote count on this. I thought there was a new development that he’s actually a Nazi supporter, rather than just letting them roam free on his platform.

It’s not even an opinion. I’m literally curious to know more facts lol.

Collaborateur! 📣
