I pay for netflix, prime, disney+, paramount+, youtube premium, nebula, and a few more services. I buy music and movies, if available, on bluray and rip them to my own jellyfin server.
And yet, about 20% of what I watch, I've got to pirate because there's no reasonable way to actually watch it. Legal ways often only have the German dub, or are lower quality.
(When I was younger, my family was relatively poor, so back then I obviously pirated everything, but once I could afford it I wiped my entire collection and bought the exact same content properly again, for moral reasons obviously but also because I prefer to do rips myself so they've got proper quality).
ASS format is the worst of all subtitle formats. It's not even a real format, the spec is a badly written word document that's missing half the features. It's only popular with shitty fansub groups that discovered you could use it to basically render whatever you'd like on top of videos.
The big issue I see with YouTube premium (though I'm a paid subscriber) is that the bitrate is still far too low. Vimeo provided much better quality a decade ago for paid users and so do Nebula, Floatplane and all the other competing sites nowadays
Better laptops tend to put the wifi antenna in the display, so it's far away from the USB ports when in use. Obviously that's not compatible with ultra thin laptops.
Sadly even Resolve Studio doesn't support h264 all-intra as used in Sony's XAVC-I and XAVC-S-I on Linux, which sucks.
With XAVC-I CineEI Slog footage the metadata is enough that Resolve treats it as Raw (in fact, it's more flexible than braw). So losing this functionality really hurts.
well, to a heat pump even -40° is still 230K, which is plenty of energy to move around and work with. It may be cold to you, but to a heat pump it's not.
Typical high speed tracks aren't shared with cargo trains. Frankfurt-Siegburg for example is only usable by high speed passenger trains.
And regarding the max speed, I'd suggest to look at china. The chinese railways run the Siemens Velaro CN, which is the local version of the Velaro D (DB Br407) at 380km/h in regular use.
Often enough, the old code is so badly intertwined that it's impossible to actually test. Those are the moments where all you can do is nuke it from orbit.
The neat part about the fediverse is that no matter how badly behaved a dev may be, there'll be enough people to fix their behaviour and work around it. Look at mastodon, gorgon made a few questionable choices but glitch and all the other forks work around it and enough community servers exist that you could block mastodon.social and never miss a thing.
Just like with Lemmy there's already kbin and countless other alternatives that all integrate with each other and enough community servers.
But with browsers that's stopped being a thing a long time ago as the modern web is far too complex for small groups of indie devs to make their own browsers.
Yeah, I'm spending thousands of dollars on a single lens to get rid of chromatic aberrations and yet when I game, I'm somehow supposed to like that very same thing, emulated badly?
There's no provider that's going to be more safe than Hetzner, tbh.
If a provider doesn't comply, you'll just get special services raiding their DCs instead.
And if you switch to a VPS provider, you're even more exposed.
Set up CAA with proper restrictions, enforce CT for your clients and use proper full disk encryption to prevent them from placing implants on your server itself.
Ah, you met fefe.
