I was thinking to myself “so they just have to keep doing what they’re doing” but my second thought was more in line with your comment.

I wonder why ASCII is written as “Ascii.”

In a production web app I use Gotenberg. It’s definitely overkill for the task at hand, but if you find yourself doing this often I would highly recommend it. It’s dead easy to convert HTML (and I imagine XHTML) to PDF.

Can Tuta use a gateway similar to Hydroxide for Proton? I like my traditional email clients and have a machine I trust to encrypt/decrypt.

I suggest Storj Tardigrade. It’s client-side encrypted by default (assuming you’re not using S3 gateway).

Yeah, i2p has a system similar to DNS for human-readable names.

Another vote for Postgres, MySQL kind of blows.

If you’re running an instance why not just cut the shit and block Meta?

I don’t sell locally often but when I do, I use craigslist. It’s also great for picking up a cable modem on the cheap when moving into a new area (don’t have to deal with the ISP-supplied one).

That feels like the opposite of deleting your account or blocking them

It sure does, but I don’t log my family and friends’ queries so I’ll probably MITM myself using a travel router.

Good point, I’ll be on the lookout for that.

I’m blocking primarily with my self-hosted, non-logging DNS server (Unbound).

I might just use my travel router to MITM myself while Tailscale is disabled on the iPhone to glean more information that way.

I agree. Most of my duplicates came from the raw disc files. I too dump some content to MKV (mainly TV episodes) but those files likely have much less duplication, though I do recall some of the duplicates coming from The Office in MKV.

(I do wonder if those The Office duplicates were something like the opening title, or scenes from the episode showing clips from previous episodes because it seems highly unlikely that the raw video streams were similar.)

You need to block all their domains/IP ranges too otherwise they’re still profiting from profiling you across apps and websites.

I did for a few years when the network started, but it became increasingly difficult to do so from a residential IP with slow upload speeds (cable internet).

I use Storj, it’s been my favorite for years.

Mine runs basically everything in my apartment (Home Assistant), I dumped my antique Synology DiskStation and run Samba + an array of hard drives for NAS (synced offsite of course).

I was a bit leery of running NAS on top of everything else, but this is a Raspberry Pi 4 with a ton of services running on it and it’s still pretty idle. arm64 is a powerhouse (my router is a nanoPi R6S too). Also for context I run Alpine Linux so it’s as barebones as I need it to be.

I’m in almost the exact same situation as OP, 8 TB of raw Blu-ray dumps except I’m on XFS. I ran duperemove and freed ~200 GB.

When I first got VR I got a bunch of 3D Blu-rays to rip but the quality was trash. You have the 30/24 fps (can’t remember which) divided by two (for each eye).

It was so bad that action scenes just looked like a huge blur (probably partially due to having to re-encode).

I still wonder if BigScreen has better source material because the rentals there always looked great.
