You jest, but when the moment comes when you notice you suddenly can’t (can happen with certain conditions), you pray to all the gods you can think of just to be able to take a leak again.

Shit went from Ratthew to Ratstew real quick.

That’s a compliment, really.

Same.

Nothing like a potato when you craving for that starch hit.

No, but I admire the people who can memorize, recall and communicate by using the little pictures without the slightest effort. 😔

Why do people add ‘rule’ after after post titles?

If we’re talking about English, there were different kinds of English which were spoken (Old English, Middle English, Early Modern English, and Modern English. And no, Old English doesn’t just mean English that sounds ‘old’. It was an early variety of English that was spoken from the 5th/7th century to 1066). All of them had their own phonology, morphology and syntax. In short, they followed their own linguistic rules and conventions. The way they sounded wasn’t just randomly made up. To find out more, look up the varieties of English I mentioned or take a look at this Wikipedia article about Historical linguistics.

Not affiliated with them in any way but want to say this: support them, if you can. The amount of support, or lack thereof, could make or break this fork.

I can’t be arsed to write the pronunciation in IPA. Just go on Google Translate to hear how it’s pronounced or learn Welsh on Duolingo.

Da iawn, rwyt ti’n gallu siarad / ysgrifennu Cymraeg nawr / rŵan! :)

“Rwy’n hoffi chi. Dych chi eisiau mynd i’r caffi gyda mi am baned o goffi?”

“I like you. Do you want to go to the café with me to have a cup of coffee?”

I’m still learning Welsh, so this might contain mistakes, but it’s better than saying you don’t understand her… For future reference, you know.

Edit: Meant to reply to the comment below me.

I’m just adding an additional source, because I just recently read about this way of using the forward slash to create abbreviations. English Language & Usage has a good post on Stackexchange. Wikipedia says they are used for “two-letter initialisms” (a type of abbreviation). Wikipedia also provides some more examples, see here.

Thanks for the idea. I tried Handbrake to decrease the video quality and it seemed to work well. Also, getting rid of audio also gets rid of a big chunk of data, decreasing the file size.

You’re right. I’ll just go with a cloud storage provider then, other than Google. My main concern is privacy, yes. I recently got rid of my Youtube account, which had accumulated a little too much information about me for my liking. But returning to cloud storage, If I use shareable links for friends and de-share the videos when done, I don’t think they’ll leak outside of said cloud storage provider.

I found peertube.io which has an unlimited upload quota… I think?

Okay, I might give PeerTube another try.

Thanks for your input and apologies if my question is a bit vague.

I’m primarily looking for a service, but might be interested in self-hosting in the future. I don’t have experience with self-hosting, but I suppose it could be an option in the future. I found a website about video CMS’s which require self-hosting. However, I don’t plan on sharing a lot of content, just an occasional video every now and then. As for accessibility of the videos, I’d make them available for anyone with a link.

I also looked at other cloud storage options and found IceDrive, a paid service. I think it has video playback but I’m not sure. I’ve heard about it before and the price is affordable enough for me to give it a try. It has client-side encryption which is good.

EDIT: sorry for uttering the forbidden phrase ‘paid service’.

Just don’t add any random numbers to the name, which I see you haven’t done, so I think you’re good.

I keep seeing references to RICO in The Sopranos. Was too lazy to google. Makes a lot of sense now, reading these explanations.
