I also went through the phase where I thought I was an audiophile/videophile and everything I collected needed to be in ultra high quality. Eventually I realized it was stupid and now I spend a third as much money on storage and still have perfectly fine media that I have no issues with in practice despite the flaws I’m supposed to see in theory.

you’ll do nothing but bloat the file size

That’s very wrong. Going from h.264 to h.265 cuts file size down to 25-50% of the original. That’s what the HE is for in HEVC.

No it isn’t. It’s removing a batch script they used to provide as a shortcut to invoke the functionality. Until now they’ve been handholding people to streamline use of their less preferred feature and they’re no longer doing that. But by all means take the headline ragebait.

It takes principle and courage to enrich the Nazi site for only two and a half years and not a day longer.

Yes, you can run the web server locally and access it in your browser like any other site. You just wouldn’t be able to access it from outside your home network.

Since you want to be able to access these stories as well as store them, you can kill two birds with one stone by creating a Django app with a SQLite backend. The builtin admin site will let you browse and search the content without having to write much code.

June 2025 is when manifest v2 is supposed to die for good. I think the issue is that it’s not really possible for Vivaldi or Microsoft or whoever to keep the code in there long term even if they wanted to.

Isn’t every chromium browser going to lose manifest v2 eventually, causing the real ublock origin to stop working?

Why would they check for piracy when it’s not them you’re pirating from and stopping piracy would remove the most popular use case of their product?

No you don’t. I’ve shared with people and I’ve never had a pass.

This was shitty, but the giants are worse than the smaller companies. Roku works fine and ad-free if you block the ad/tracking domains. Try separating the ads/tracking from the stuff you need on a Google device.

It may help, but that’s just a guess.

I use it daily without issues on a residential network. You might be getting blocked because they know you’re on some kind of VPS network.

Can I reply to this next week when I stop laughing
