I gave up encoding with handbrake. It looks much worse after the fact 99% of the time, no matter which settings I use.

You apparently have no clue what you’re talking about.

Nvme is terrible value for storage density. There is no reason to use it except when you need the speed and low latency.

But you don’t need 32TB storage per disc in your laptop.
- Comment on Check your DVDs for disc rot — Warner Bros. says it’s replacing them 13 hours ago:
Modern Blurays should actually last longer than DVDs. Bluray M-Discs supposedly even last 1000 years. 100 years for DVDs is pretty optimistic. 20-50 years is more realistic.

Second.

You just answered it yourself. It failed miserably and it will obviously fail again. Nobody can seriously believe that the USA colonizes Canada. Consequently, it can’t be the reason for the tarriffs.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 22 hours ago:
I never said he’s joking. He’s negotiating. Some type of psychological warfare. He’s pressuring countries into doing what he wants out if fear what he’s going to say next. And in addition to that, he’s flooding the media with so much bs that they can’t keep up with his actual agenda.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 22 hours ago:
Enlighten us. What is the reason?
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 22 hours ago:
He’s not going to colonize these countries. You have to be dumb to believe he’s serious when he says that.
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 22 hours ago:
Yes. Canada and Mexico are transit countries for products coming from China. Plus, he wants to reduce Fentanyl (but I doubt this is the real reason).
- Comment on Lenovo joins growing China exodus as manufacturers flee US tariffs — OEM moving production lines to India 23 hours ago:
Why would he? India is no really a challenge.

It’s a Nextcloud app.
- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 1 day ago:
I’ve tried it. But it feels more like conferencing and less tailored to me a as a gamer wanting to join channels.
I like Discord as it is. I wish there was a self-hosted federated software just like it. I know about Revolt Chat but it doesn’t have feature parity.
- Comment on Starting to self host 1 day ago:
KitchenOwl and Pastes are probably the easiest to setup. Paperless is the most useful for me. Nextcloud can be a bitch to setup once you want to include Office functionality. I recommend the Nextcloud All-In-One to make it a bit easier.
In addition to the ones listed above, I can also recommend Home Assistant if you don’t know it yet. If you like home automation you’re in for a treat.
- Comment on Google Photos will no longer sync with third-party digital photo frames 1 day ago:
Try Nextcloud Memories.

- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 1 day ago:
The only reason I’m using Discord is for the seemless video chats and screen share. Teamspeak has neither.
- Comment on Discord is discussing an IPO 1 day ago:
Discord has a monopole in its nieche market. Teamspeak and Mumble are basically non-existent. Pretty sure the IP won’t be too bad.

No worries. Enjoy!

Hosting Bookstack seems a bit much for someone who’s just getting started.
- Comment on Starting to self host 1 day ago:
The easiest way to get started is using Docker. You can self-host most software using Docker straight from their Github with one command or copy-paste config.
Do NOT expose your services to the internet if you don’t know what you’re doing. Use it locally using IP:port. If you want to use your services remotely, use a VPN tunnel like Wireguard (Available on Android and iOS too). Modern routers already support it. Tailscale is also an option.
When you start exposing services, I can recommend NPM as your proxy for easy host and certificate management. Expose as little as possible!
For added security when exposing applications to the internet, expose your port using a VPS or Cloudflare and tunnel to your home using Tailscale or Wireguard.
To not get overwhelmed you should start small and improve as you go. You don’t need to start with a datacenter in your garage right away. The most important thing is that you have fun along the way :)
Great projects to get started:

That’s what I said. It’s pretty involved. And their Discord is extremely toxic. The most toxic Discord I have ever seen from a FOSS project. But when you get it up and running, it’s great. Just pray nothing breaks.
I used all three tools. Pufferpanel was by far the easiest to setup. But it’s mostly limited to Minecraft servers.
- Comment on Self-hosting minecraft 2 days ago:
If you’re familiar with Docker and want something with UI for easy management of configs, plugins and server console, you might like Pterodactyl Panel, Pelican Panel or Pufferpanel.

I love this feature. Doesn’t take up too much screen real-estate. You can scroll right past it when it isn’t good. But when it’s good, it’s actually useful.

Next thing, you’re going to complain elsewhere that everything has gotten so expensive and terrible value at the same time. You people are delusional to not understand that intellectual property is the fundamental basis of our world economy, and also your job. Elliminate all IP you’ll get an iPhone that’s priced at $20. What is your recommendation for a communisitic society where nobody will get rewarded for creativity and ingeneuity? How would that work exactly? I’m listening.
- Comment on In Response to Amazon preventing to download books you bought: Some DRM free bookstores and publishers 3 days ago:
You can buy the ebooks from Kobo or the like and strip out the DRM using Calibre.
Shitte practices by Amazon are no justification to let it all out on the authors. Amazon literally doesn’t care whatsoever if you don’t buy a book there. However, the author might need to feed their family dry bread today.
