No, bluray is 1080p (or 2160p if UHD Bluray) while DVDs are 576p-720p (what looks really shitty on a 4K TV). I only buy BDs and UHD BDs these days

Wat nou?

Unfortunately the court wasn’t that strict in it’s most recent decision regarding data retention (different lead judge combined with the endless tries from the politics)

Sorry, I meant risk taking not averse (not my 1st language) Regarding the bugs, they get usually fixed within days

*10.9 if not latest. For the risk averse folks out there, check out https://github.com/containrrr/watchtower I just let it run every night, so far w/o problems

I’d love that becoming a thing. TV OSs are always so shitty, I bet dedicated open source work would do wonders

My 2 cents on cases: you really need to check the sizes of your gpu, psu (if non is built into the case, then check the wattage) and cpu cooler. I’ve built 3 mini itx builds so far. one in a custom case, one in a fractal design core 500 (pretty large, but fits 2 3.5" and a 5.25", large GPU and ATX PSU. That’s my homeserver sitting under the desk) and one in a NZXT H1 v2 (v1 had issues with the riser). The latter is very thought through, building in it was straight forward and easy.

I still prefer it, HDDs aren’t free and I personally really can’t tell the difference (my TV kinda sucks anyway)

Your old stuff is most likely in x264 video codec, while, especially at the higher resolutions, x265 / HEVC and in rare cases AV1 are the standard today. But it also depends on the specific release how many streams (like audio tracks, subtitles) are included

For the remote management, either a VPN to your parents network or exposing (e.g. Cloudflare Tunnel)

Yes, you are right. It only makes sense if you jave the option to charge at home, at your work or similar. Anyway, I’m happy I don’t have to think about this kind of shit. I get on my bike and just drive, if something is broken, it’s usually a $15 fix I can do by myself in an hour.

I guess you are walking around with your phone until it dies, charge it for 5mins and then repeat? … or do you just plug it in over night or when you are not using it? That’s really not a good point you are bringing up here. You could critisize, that there are only few public charging stations (with user friendly terms) or what the comment you answered to is critisizing or even that there are so few alternatives for (really) climate friendly transport, but your point is just ‘what if I am not able to think at all??’

Thanks for the insights. No holy among the capitalist companies…

if only they’d pay the musicians worth a shit<

afaik that’s mainly the fault of the music labels, they charge quite good money, but they don’t give it to the artists: https://blog.groover.co/en/tips/loud-clear-spotify-2/

I think almond is closest - but that’s shit for the environment, so oat it is

Gatekeeping milk. Okay, if you think that’s worth the effort

If the course of study isn’t fixed, yet, you could look for a “Duales Studium” and ask the company to start earlier/asap - most likely they’ll accept. But Werkstudent is probably better
