I use handbrake CLI with this line HandBrakeCLI -i /dev/sr0 -o output.mkv --preset="H.265 MKV 2160p60" --all-subtitles --subtitle-burned=none -q 16

To rip directly from the DVD drive. It’s not perfect but pretty good as all in one solution

Oh sweet! I gonna get that one. Thank you very much for the link, too.

Uh, Citizen DJ in neat! Thank you

Your comments gave me another idea. I took some lines of Wikipedia, fed it to ChatGPT and let it read it aloud. I recorded it and its not bad at all - here is a taste of the Wikipage about Adaptive Optics http://www.sndup.net/vb5fd

Do you mean the Cyber trap Vol 1 samples?

That’s a good idea! Didn’t thought about that! Thanks

I start my scripts directly with the startup utility. By using a command like bash ~/.hiddenScript.sh or use a cronjob

What happens in that “one episode of the thing”?

Yeah, that would be something great for sure!

Sorry, I meant PDF arranger https://github.com/pdfarranger/pdfarranger

I like to add xournal++ for editing PDF without a functional form field. And as other said already: PDF Ranger and Firefox itself

Testing your projects in Internet Explorer, other than that: none I can think of. Happy coding

Additional to the other commentators: there is still a lot of handmade visual effects (painting/masking on each frame by frame) costs would explode. as far as I remember “the Hobbit” was partially made in 60fps. While I loved it, the make-up crew had suddenly problems to hide all the glue on the dwarfs beards and skin looked suddenly realistic instead of “Hollywood”.

Here is some random link about that: https://www.forbes.com/sites/johnarcher/2014/12/16/hate-the-hobbit-in-high-frame-rate-you-just-need-to-see-it-again/

Nice, how about a recording of one of the rhythms?

I love it. The smile of this one just makes me happy, like there are no worries in the world. Just the road ahead.

Never recording videos… That is outrageous ;) Interesting train of thought, though. Video is the main data hog on my drives. It’s easy to mess up the compression. At the same time is combines audio, image and time in one easy to consume file. Personally, i would miss it.

Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call “satisfaction” https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I’ll do next. Thanks again 👍

“The strength is in the diversity of the mediums” I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Good advice. My off-site is my brother’s place.
