look at that stupid flag

in my head, he pronounces his name “seen”

the black and white sticker is a dead giveaway

it makes you sign in to see it hahaha

i think if you ask that question, itll result in abolishing the minimum wage, in the usa anyway

does stapler really mean forklift, and lager really mean storage, in german?

i get a lot of simpsons pictures in the image results for some rsn

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

edit: sorry i didnt provide a soln

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!

okay i got it now.

was something wrong with the mirror i was using? if so, is there some way to know if i have a “lesser” mirror? or was the arch linux world just going thru a major update today and i had to wait it out?

so… i did another reflector refresh and then did an Syyu. Now this is happening…

this is with the mirrorlist shown in the picture below. not sure why i’d be getting almost 3 gigs of updates right now. i’ve been updating this and using this machine daily for months on this installation. when that is complete i’ll try for python-polib again.

about 15 ruby packages got replaced with extra/ruby just now too.

that asciicinema thing is super cool too
