i get it, i collect them too. but only retail releases. no way to control the quality if the source isnt authoritative.

to me, if youre 1-to-1 copying a retail blu ray, then authoring isnt required. if youre ripping it and compressing it (losslessly or otherwise), keep it on a nas for easier access. but if youre downloading a movie from the web and burning it, i dont see the point, since its already been compressed most likely, or at least you cant be sure its a great copy. especially with the audio side.

i knew a guy who used to make full backups of redbox blu rays for archive purposes. that made sense to me.

as to why might you be trolling, well, this is the kind of troll post id make haha

basically youre asking the ai to generate chunks, then check those chunks. it might work

edit: sorry i didnt provide a soln

if this isnt a troll, then you are one of a dying (pretty much never existed) breed

burning dvds or copying vhs tapes made sense years ago bc you needed a converter to plug your computer into a tv, and the quality was iffy. now most machines and tvs are compatible with hdmi, so going from digital to physical is like printing a mapquest route and taking a picture of it with your phone

i have no idea what to think about this, but im in favor of crazy new ideas and directions. will this be good?

except they massively decreased the rate for the top recently, and they very likely will either do nothing or increase it a small amount this time for brownie points

does nobody else notice this is absolutely and obviously an ai generated image?

not to say that wal-mart is helping anyone at all. but this was clearly designed to spark outrage.

thanks so much for the coaching!

 

Hi all,

I have reason to believe a package I use (python-polib) was moved from the aur to the official extra repo. I'm now having trouble getting it installed.

The old page gives a 404: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/python-polib This now seems to be the right source for this package: https://archlinux.org/packages/extra/any/python-polib/

However, I do a # pacman -Syyu python-polib and pacman can't find the target. Do I need to do something here that I'm missing?

My pacman.conf includes the "extra" repo and it updates during the Syyu command.

 

Hi all,

I'm trying to put a command together to download a bz2 archive containing an img file and decompress it immediately, basically without saving it to the filesystem. Can this be done?

This is what I've come up with so far, but it's incomplete: wget -qO- "https://opnsense.com/.../img.bz2" | bzip2 -dv

Background: Trying to install OPNsense on Linode. Their hacky official guide says the best way to install FreeBSD is via the rescue mode. But FreeBSD posts their images as .img, so the filesystem size limitation of 1GB for the rescue image isn't an issue. But with OPNsense I need to decompress it.

I have a few different options on how to install this but I see it as a good reason to learn more about stdin/out, piping commands, etc.

Thanks in advance.
