Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.

It doesn’t let me select more than 1 file to add.
It’s easier to type a command than it is to add files to Handbrake one at a time. I can also run multiple encodes simultaneously. It takes 2-4 to max out my CPU depending on the codec and resolution.
Handbrake is good for a few files, but I still prefer ffmpeg when doing a large batch.
You can use the --download-sections
parameter to specify a time range. --download-sections "*0-600"
would download the first 600 seconds to the nearest keyframe. To make it exact, you would have to re-encode the video after downloading it.
For making the thumbnail square, you will probably have to write a script to extract it, crop it, and re-insert it.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
Upgrade to Linux. It’s free and not filled with spyware like windows.
It’s working fine for me. The onion site works fine too.
Just make sure the file doesn’t have a double extension. That can trick people into running a .exe when the file extension is hidden. That’s really only a problem on windows though.
There is not much AV1 content because there are not many platforms streaming AV1 yet. Transcoding a lossy format like H.264 or VP9 to AV1 will reduce the quality.
Have you tried running a speed test with and without the VPN while nothing else is using any bandwidth? See how that compares with the torrent speed.
I just use my password manager to generate the TOTP. There’s no way I’m going to install an app just to use a website.
You can get free accounts from sites like Eternal September, but you only get access to text groups, which are mostly full of spam anymore. If you don’t download much, it’s best to just get a block account.
Pre-recorded tapes usually had a primitive form of copy protection called macrovision. It would make the copy pretty much unwatchable, but it was fairly simple to remove. You could build or buy a device that would strip it out.
That’s ridiculous. You should be free to give away, sell, or trade digital games just like you can with physical copies.
I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?
