No, because i did it over long time since I encoded only during the day hours and a few episodes at a time.
I can say that I fit a good 30% more episodes in the same space, but at the same time I also have added movies and reduces sizes too, so hard to tell reasonably.
I can say that all my collection was mostly h264 before.
If the question is what does enrages me, an answer is probably human stupidity. Or the idea that we have just better than animals. We aren't, we are just like animals, but with the potential to be so much more. Then comes human stupidity... Well.
i am well over 40 and still play games. The "problem" is that gaming now compete with lots of more important stuff like: kids, family, dogs, home repairs, sport activity, wife, work, errands to run, and sure I am leaving out many.
So, forget sitting on a computer or console for even half hour. I consume quick mobile games, where reflexes are not decisive (that's age, thanks).
I even bought a real Nintendo DS Lite with the cracked cartridge to load games on microssd, and my kid loves it, but even New Super Mario Bros takes too long between saves for the free time I have, so you get the idea.
Would I still do hours gaming sessions even if I could? No, too many hobbies and ideas that pop up all the time to work on... Maybe this is because I cannot for the sake of life get closed to modern games. AAA are cashgrabs, indie require too much time researching them, and anyway I need mobile gaming, that sucks overall.
Maybe I have a different point of view here, but I have actively converted all my TV series to AV1 and will probably to the same to most of my movies.
The space saving is huge, and the quality is identical to my eyes and hardware. True that storage is cheaper than ever, but this is not a reason valid to waste it anyway.
I have only 6TB of storage for my media and the power needed to run additional disks would only be waste on the long run, and so buying new bogger disks would be a waste for stuff I don't wantch often (more like hoarding than...).
So AV1 is the way. Software encoding is the best quality, I have heard, rather than hardware encoding. As for playback, I have a fire stick with AV1 support that works flawlessly, so.
Edit: I have FV at home, so converting to AV1 during daylight is actually free for me.
For anybody waiting for invites: i have up and just waited until Black Friday deals and openings: you need to head to "the other site" and watch the deals and opening times and you can get anything you want.
Also, invites are not free: you still need to pay the subscription!
They get DMCA'd regularly and content get removed on Usenet as well. But the fact that they have to report literally thousands of individual files every time make it slow and inefficient. People will just reload the same item many times and it's always there.
Each copy, each single file in which the copy is split needs to be identified and asked for removal. Compared to torrents, it's a long and complex task.
As sport watches go, get a Garmin. Its proprietary, but it's the best in the class.
I have a Fenix 7, wife has a Fenix 5.
Battery last days/weeks (5/6 days with some 10-15 hours of sport tracking with GPS active).
I suggest some "older" models with MIPs displays, not AMOLED, because they have better (absolutely perfect) under the sun readability and much better battery life.
You need the Garmin Connect app on phone, but the web interface to the Garmin ecosystem is simply the best.
I managed to integrate Fittrackee (self hosted) and synched to my Garmin profile to keep all my activity self hosted.
Despite being proprietary, Garmin software is quite nice and the watch can be connected directly to PC to download activities and tracks even without using the app.

Yes, sure I am... Would probably prefer a bash CGI because I like challenges :)
(Author and such would be managed by my reverse proxy)
But I would prefer something already baked if it exist
