Holgi hat einen neuen Podcast mit Helmholtz: https://erdeumwelt.podigee.io/

Sehr empfehlenswert.

I’ve been cancelling virtual servers left and right and migrating service and websites that I want to keep to a single point of failure, and so far it’s been generally successful.
I’ll hopefully save lots of money in the future.

This is just to remind myself how I should do things.
ffmpeg -hide_banner -loglevel quiet -stats -hwaccel cuda -i "RAW_MOVIE" -map 0 -c:v hevc_nvenc -crf 22 -c:a copy -c:s copy "ENCODED_MOVIE"

1. Backup Blu-ray and DVD discs to digital storage.
1.1 DVD will be saved as ISO files
1.2 Blu-ray will be saved as their unencrypted directories
2. Extract just the movie file and all its tracks.
3. Encode the movie in HEVC.¹
4. Put Blu-ray/DVD backup and extracted movie on cold storage, upload encode to private streaming.

¹Encoding:
ffmpeg -hide_banner -hwaccel cuda -i "$MOVIE" -map 0 -c:v hevc_nvenc -c:a copy -c:s copy "$HOME/$MOVIE"

The WordPress classic editor really doesn’t like the British spelling of “theatre”. Or maybe that’s my Firefox.
Anyway, I’m a movie guy now. I’ve been more times to the theatre this year than ever before. And this will continue, I have already decided.
I just need a good way to keep my tickets.

I haven’t watched Die Hard yet. I am disappointed in myself. But in fairness I’m with family and was unable to convince them that this would be the correct thing to do.
I did bring about 3kg of cooked rice, though, that was nice, very nice.
The other food was fine, too.
Can’t really complain much.

I’ve setup two more blogs again. Nothing will come from this.

[Update 2024-11-16]
I shut down one of the blogs. As it happens, the original url to this blog, that I reinstated when I put up this post there.
