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’m in the middle of moving so everything is packed up. But this was the rack before we moved.
Networking, 3D printer, color laser printer, several servers.
- Comment on I'm moving to another city soon. What are some good apps that could help? Inventory, logistics, etc 4 days ago:
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.
- Comment on How far away are we from someone using AI to create an animated TV show by themselves. 5 days ago:
I used to watch AI Peter quite a while ago, turns out it’s still live 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.

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.

That’s awesome! GTA V just screwed everyone on Linux! What a rug pull.
- Comment on Should I or should I not use/bother with using Linux? (READ THE WHOLE POST) 3 weeks ago:
I switched to Linux mint maybe 6 months ago and it’s been great. Just a bit of adjustment for which programs I needed to get some things done. Also turns out some stuff was WAY easier to get running such as my JavaScript twitch chat bots, I didn’t even need a tutorial and I got it running in terminal. My wife also using mint at the same time I switched and she has been liking it too. Good luck and know there’s a ton of people here that can help you out.

I self hosted many websites for about 20 years, but sadly I had to take it all down this year. In the process of moving to another state. Also going to really miss my 1gbps unlimited fiber connection.
- Comment on Rockstar Games DDoSed Heavily By Players Protesting New AntiCheat Code 1 month ago:
The fact that it’s a top 10 seller on steam deck for years and they just fucked over everyone on Linux, they deserve it. We all paid them and they completely screwed all of us. I feel so cheated. I only run Linux and I have a steam deck. I left a bad review on steam and I contacted their support from all my rockstar accounts, but it’s not enough. Battleye is compatible with Linux, they just had to send an email, but rockstar keeps lying that it’s not compatible.
- Comment on GTA Online is no longer supported by Steam Deck thanks to a slightly baffling Rockstar anti-cheat update 1 month ago:
it’s a setting that can be changed to make it compatible but sadly rockstar won’t do it. Wtf

The ones I saw were a single color, one of them was all black vinyl.

I have seen 2 vinyl wrapped cybertrucks while driving around Los Angeles, so I know it’s being done.

I bet it was from a chain mail back in the day, that if you put that in your profile then your safe, too bad it’s not true.

I remember some great flash games I used to play, and I know they are lost media now. But there are people archiving tons of flash stuff at “Flashpoint Archive”
- Comment on Microsoft Ruined Windows 3 months ago:
A few stream decks, cam link pro, 4k60 pro and maybe a few other items. I know the steam deck has 3rd party programs but they require typing in commands and stuff to setup.
- Comment on Microsoft Ruined Windows 3 months ago:
I agree. I switched to Linux full time a few months ago and there are several things just easier than windows.
Installing the OS was super simple, I didn’t have to turn off 10 settings that it wanted to sell my info, no keys to type in, no registration or spying, no candy crush and 20 other unwanted programs. I have to customize windows so much to my liking and then an update takes it away.
I just wish Elgato products had Linux support. I have emailed them a few times to suggest it. Maybe when 10% Linux share or 15%… I’m waiting.
During the past few months I now have myself, my wife, my uncle, and my dad on Linux!!!

I did not know you can disable the map, I will need to do that.
I only used the map once to see which photos may have accidentally had GPS Embedded, but turns out it was only the photos that other people took and sent me. lol

Can I just block the 3rd party company URL on my router?
- Comment on What's your financial cutoff point on game collecting? 4 months ago:
I have quite a large game collection 8200 games (6600 physical games) and the cutoff for me was Covid. The prices all went crazy high. The only reason I have such a huge collection is because I love to find bargains like $1 per game. Another thing is most people now have smart phones and look up prices at yard sales and thrift stores. This means less people selling for cheap but also more flippers hunting for deals to resell.
I still buy games, but it’s way less often than before 2020.

My Chinese made BliKVM had a back door. One day I went into my bios and it was in Chinese! I immediately removed all the kvm, reflashed my bios, and kept that computer unplugged now.

I think it died when they started paying people For answers. People asked the most stupid questions just so they can be the top answers
