There was this company doing something similar with CDs. They sold the physical medium and then let you download the ripped files and store the CDs at their place. In fact, you could just buy the record online and directly download a .flac from their website. And if you wanted, you could have the physical medium shipped to you.
Apparently that was legal, but they have gone bankrupt a few years ago iirc. They were called Murphies (idk about the spelling).
When I was younger, you’d still buy games in a physical store and one time I found a great sounding game “Fury” (an online PvP RPG). I went ahead and bought it with my pocket money and was super eager to play it. I even remember reading the booklet in the car while driving home, imagining how fun that game will be.
At home I then installed the game just to find out the the fuckers have shut down the game servers just about 2 years after the initial release of the game rendering the game absolutely unplayable.
I’m still kinda pissed about that, and I still have that box lying around somewhere.
I’ve got a Pulse 15 for a few years now and I’m very happy with it. The keyboard is not the best, but I can live with that.
The Pulse is based on some Clevo machine, you might want to look at what the Stellaris is based on to find more reviews.
Can you elaborate? I can do debugging, run code and tests in VS Code.

Why don’t you subscribe to communities you’re interested in instead and only browse those? Blocking that many communities sounds like a lot of work.
Something like a ASRock 4x4 with a 5800U should draw about 10W in idle, but you can certainly shut it off when you’re not watching. I use a small tower because it also holds some storage for my home NAS and jellyfin server.
Have you also found that their serving sizes are way too small or is it just us?
I think you have just single handedly solved world hunger with your pasta weighing method
Powder is mostly filler though
I would imagine they store the highest available quality only by default and do on the fly transcoding until a certain threshold of views per time is reached. At this point they would then store the transcoded versions as well.
For videos with a lot of views it only makes sense to store the transcoded version as, like you say, storage is cheap. But fact is that the vast majority of uploaded videos get <1k views and for those it probably would make more sense to transcode them otf when needed.
There are a bunch of vulnerabilities for VLC for example. Some of them are based on modified .avi or .mkv files.
Note that those are all known and already patched but there are certainly some vulnerabilities out there that are unknown and/or unpatched. You’re quite unlikely to get one of those though.
The biggest security issue probably is an unpatched system so don’t forget to keep your software up to date.
I’ve got a flexispot E7 and I’m really happy with it. It’s quite stable but certainly not the most stable solution. But there’s also the E7Q which has 4 legs instead of only 2 which should increase the stability but I haven’t tried that one.
Seed and… seed?
I don’t know what you’re trying to do but the easiest thing would be a bash script you would run after installation which does everything you want to change if it’s just some setting and packages
Well it floated, but it was also underwater so we will never truely know
Probably not what you’re looking for but Linux Mint has the option to encrypt your drive when you first install it. It’s as easy as clicking “yes” and setting a password.
Possibly a kernel issue?
maybe a WhatsApp backup?
