Running it through Subtitle Edit with WhisperX can help a lot for longer movies. It breaks the file into much smaller pieces and runs Whisper on them one by one before stitching the result back together.

Here’s a quick guide on understanding .par2 files and how to use them. If you’re using SABnzbd or NZBget, it should handle these automatically to “repair” the downloaded file, AFAIK.

In this case, the indexer is talking about the .nzb, which does usually contain an identifier about which account accessed it. Remember that an .nzb is just a plaintext file providing links to the many split .rar files that will be combined during unpacking, plus the parity files that can be used to recreate missing .rar files if one is missing.

Indexers want to prevent the .nzb from being leaked onto the open internet, or to other indexers, to prevent those links from getting a DMCA/NTD takedown request for as long as possible.

There is no way to identify who downloaded a .mp4, they are not fingerprinted & every person who downloads is getting an identical copy. Share them widely.

Insurance is required if you have a mortgage, which is necessary to be a homeowner for 99% of folks.

I’m on the fence about this. If the actuaries have done the work and determined that massive chunks of the state have a very high risk of expensive hurricane-related claims, shouldn’t either the rapidly rising rates, or the refusal to do business in the state altogether, reflect that this isn’t a place people should be flocking to in large numbers?

As someone who intentionally chose to make my home a state where we’re relatively sheltered from the most destructive extreme weather events, I’m happy that I’m in a separate insurance pool from these extremely risky properties. Keeping things somewhat localized keeps costs cheaper for those making smart decisions, incentivizing others to do the same.

I think it’s quite shortsighted that we’re incentivizing new development and migration to areas that are going to regularly underwater in a few decades. I understand where you’re going with health insurance comparison, but at least with that - there’s near universal agreement that we should be investing resources in early detection and interventions to prevent new folks from developing costly pre-existing conditions. I see very little acknowledgement of this when looking at risky land use decisions.
