I have in fact never used MakeMKV in that way, I’ve always used the backup option. That makes it a lot easier, thanks so much for pointing me into the right direction!
That’s a good hint, although I wouldn’t mind too mich. personally. My server is located in the basement.
I don’t keep track actively. I noticed problems when reading a file and looked at the drive with smartctl for that reason. Does anybody know how to keep track actively?
that wouldn’t be a problem for me, as my server is located in the basement. But good to know!
my currently failing drive is a WD as well… 🥴 I bought it a year ago, I think…
I was thinking actual hard drives, not SSDs…
That’s exactly what I was looking for - I came across MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent Linux version - didn’t think of Flathub, though. None of the guides that come up if you look for dvd ripping on linux mention it, though… Thanks mate!
Oh great! I came accross MakeMKV before, but couldn’t find a recent version. Didn’t think of Flathub…
Strangely, playing was working fine. Just when I try to convert it has sync issues… I’m probably just too simpleminded to make it work that way, but VLC doesn’t make it easy to do it right either, I guess…
you could look into other ways of pirating, that don’t necessarily require a vpn, instead. in may country it’s mainly problematic to use torrents, because you automatically are sharing stuff as well. IRC is something that I never had a problem with, for example. you’re only downloading and it doesn’t cost you anything. there are xdcc search engines out there. The downsides are that it’s a bit nerdy (is it a downside. though?) and you’ll mostly find current mainstream content.
totally would
yes thank you!
what’s the technical basis for this anyway? is it safe to use without a vpn (ie. is it using p2p connections). didn’t find something immediately in the docs, maybe someone can shed some light?
i like fruit, so I have kiwi, mango, …
I absolutely do, not necessarily on the pirating tools I use , though.
Look in the network settings, you should see the option there. I’m not on my notebook right now, so I can’t tell exactly, sorry…
You can bind qbittorrent to the vpn network interface. If it’s not there, no traffic. That’s my approach.
Yeah, I got it with their Kubuntu version TuxedoOS and I’m pretty happy with it.
I had a Macbook Pro before and it’s company hardware, so price wasn’t a concern for me, but I understand my privilege there…
Tuxedo InfinityBook and quite happy. It has great specs and looks good. It tends to get quite warm, but I’m not too bothered by that…
in a docker compose file you can set the option “restart: unless-stopped”
