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!

darn, that’s one tasty looking bread…

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…

not astronomy, ok, but what about a “total eclipse of the heart”? memeable?

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…

What would you all reply to Alice Cooper, then?

I wanna love you but I better not touch (don’t touch) I wanna hold you but my senses tell me to stop I wanna kiss you but I want it too much (too much) I wanna taste you but your lips are venomous poison

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, …

that’s a good idea. i have some of my configurations under version control, but mostly on codeberg. not sure how renovate integrates there…
