Soon we will all be plastic. Its already in our food and water.

What i really think about is these are only the effects so far from the plastics that have started to break down from when plastics were created (smaller quantities). What happens when the plastics of today start to break down (larger quantities).

Kind of like the effects of oil (air pollution) being felt 30-50 years down the line.

When something gets removed from steam and it’s in your steam library but not installed, is it gone forever?

You could use a throwaway email and signup for an account. The account creation is a little tricky if you don’t use a “real name” but a name generator website may help in this, or use a combination of two tv character names.

Also use a privacy oriented web browser that signs you out each time, something like mule for android or librewolf for desktops.

One thing not to do is use the FB app or the messenger app on your phone, instead do everything on a browser.

Thanks I will give it a shot and see how it goes. The biggest thing holding me back is older hardware like the Nvidia Shield for example not supporting AV1.

I wonder if it’s possible to re-encode from H.265/HEVC to AV1

Finamp for all your local music, you will need a jellyfin server. Plexamp is pretty good as well, but you will need a Plex server.

Could you provide a few examples or point me in the right direction to bypass the always online or call home features.

Currently my Library is shared with a reverse proxy and only accessable through CloudFlare. My firewall and pihole block my Plex server from sending anything to the Plex analytics address. Within Plex settings I have it set that Plex is not accessible online.

Is there anything else that I can do or missed.

Trying to rebuild this my first time I took all files appended with .1 and placed them into a BDMV folder with the correct folder structure and index files. I then did the same for all the .2 files into another DBMV folder and so on. I then removed the appended numbers to these files.

This left me with 12 disk folders, though I could not get makemkv open any of these.

What I think I may have been missing (which I will give a shot tomorrow) was copying over the content that did not have a appended number originally into both these folders skipping any files with the same name.

Feeding it into DBinfo I can see the appended playlist files (appended with .1, .2, .3 and so on) call the same numbered stream files with no appended .1, .2, .3

If I had to guess the uploader may have uploaded the content of all six disk, and appended numbers to context that was different between the 6 to save on uploading the same file more then once?

Where I am getting stuck in this logic is why there are 12 index files in the upload while there should only be 6 disks as listed in the .XML files.

From what I can tell makemkv can only handel reading one index file at a time.

Here’s a screenshot of the multiple index files.

The “original folder” that I downloaded was just a one folder with all the files dumped inside.

From what I can tell Makemkv needs a streams/playlist/cpli folder inside of the BDMV folder to function along with a index file.

I find wd40 also works well for removing grease or sticker residue

Asking the same question as well. What counties would be best to have a seedbox in.

Maybe sonarr could help with the naming. You can rip your CDs and have the files named 1,2,3 and then with sonar import the files and have them renamed to the proper series name and folder structure.

This may be semi automatic and you will still need a ripping software.

Other then that filebot is another good option that I have used.

It’s a magic carpet ride

Global warming will get worse, maybe a run away effect might start.
