Poorly, I setup Mint while I was in town, a couple weeks later it won’t boot, can’t troubleshoot that kind of thing from out of state, so… Yeah

The number of times I move code around and can just press a hotkey to fix indentation though. Not possible with Python.

Instead of making a video you could probably print to PDF

Except it clearly doesn’t produce the same result every time. You’re not making a good case for whatever you’re trying to say.

The issue with option one is that scammers get old (or not technical) people to do stuff when they don’t know what they’re doing and click the box not knowing what they just did. So yes very frequently they need to protect people from themselves because they’re dumb, but I still expect banks to do business with those dumb people, sooo… Option 2 it is.

Partly android, but a custom launcher could solve it themselves

Postgres doesn’t need that much ram IMO, though it may use as much as you give it. I’d reduce it’s ram and see how performance changes.

Why no real db? Those other 2 features make sense, but if the only option you can use sacrifices the 3rd option then it seems like a win. Postgres is awesome and easy to backup, just a single command can backup the whole thing to a file making it easy to restore.

I mean it makes sense for error reporting. Lots of apps automatically report errors so that they can be detected easily, which would require internet access.

1 is just not true sorry. There’s loads of stuff that only work as root and people use them.

About the trust issue. There’s no more or less trust than running on bare metal. Sure you could compile everything from source but you probably won’t, and you might trust your distro package manager, but that still has a similar problem.

I use a k8s Cron job to execute backups with Kopia. The manifest is here

I didn’t see anything on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nosferatu?wprov=sfla1

Uh… If they messed with the iso, they could very easily mess with the NFO

Yeah, you could already pirate it today. You could even buy it, copy files and refund it, but you probably don’t.

Scary that the device can be convinced to kill you. I don’t care how bad the app is, that shouldn’t be possible.

Each instance is available on someone’s localhost.

The bitrate is the rate of the video, not the size of the file. Think of different codecs as different types of compression, like rar vs zip vs 7z

Clearly the best option then is to just use some of each. Like this: “MovieTitle-2000.Your_mom h.265”

If you already have it, it looks like Plex can do it with https://channels1867.rssing.com/chan-55464362/all_p107.html It’ll probably get you most of those features, though it probably won’t be as nice as something purpose built. But if you already have Plex it might be nice to have all your stuff in one place. Alternatively you could probably setup something to download podcasts to your server into a folder that Plex watches.
