Is it possible to erase consumer DVDs (example: The Godfather) and use to store data?

Bonus question: is it possible to erase consumer DVDs just for the lulz?

I want to train a super resolution AI model. I have a collection of images and low resolution versions of those images. Some of the OG high resolution images are missing and I want to recreate them as close as possible with the pairings I already have (the artstyle is the same through the collection).

What can I do? My idea was to train a super resolution model with my collection as regularization images or something similar, but I don't know.

>>106912137
No.
Yes. Expose it to strong sunlight for a few days, or just wait a few years. All discs become unreadable after a (relatively long) while.

I need a home printer to replace my dogshit retard brother printer. Will need to print black and white + color for my wifes arts and crafts shit. Hoping to spend less than $200.

Don't expose anything to the internet that doesn't need to be. The end. If you have something with a shitty web UI that only you use, make it listen on 127.0.0.1 and SSH forward the port to your local machine.

After Mozilla redirected a lot of their workforce to the Thunderbird group, a couple of years ago, the application has transformed quite a lot. It's both reliable, stable, and now looks to up the par as well.

>I just want to have my work e-mail open and access my jewgle drive without youtube on the other tab logging my music to my work account.
You could definitely use Thunderbird for this, but alternative you could also set up Firefox Containers, to easily separate your work/private accounts.
Each tab will function as a completely different browser profile, so what you do in one container, wouldn't be "seen" by any of the other ones.

I have a stupid question. I want to do backups but I don't know what to use. It can be Windows or Linux based.

What I want is:

>No incremental backup, linking or whatever, I just want a full copy of it.

So far I can do this using a script and some timed job in Linux. I don't have a solution for Windows. I want to use something that is more conventional, like an actual tool aimed at this. FOSS preferred.

Won't be home for a few days so don't have my laptop with me so I can't give anything more specific right now.

Sorry if this post reeks of computer noob, I'm just legitimately stumped here.

I've a question about passwords.

Most sites require you to have numbers and symbols in your password. Let's say you always use the same 3 numbers and symbol at the end of each password. Obviously, if an attacker learns one password, they know your pass always ends in the same 4 characters, their job finding the rest is easier if they were to brute-force your passwords. However, due to how passwords are encrypted, does knowing those 4 consistant characters somehow aid the math in decrypting the preceeding 12 or so characters? Not just in that the password is 4 characters shorter to decrypt, but does that dataleak basically solve the math for the other words?

What's the best way to save websites for offline use?

>>106912332

>>106914160
First of all, you should really start using a password manager.
Not only does it help you better organize your logins, it will also allow you to create completely unique, and strong, passwords with the click of a button.

Most password managers also comes with Browser add-ons, so when you navigate to a site that asks you to sign in, they automatically fill out everything for you.
This allows you to have long and complex passwords, but it also prevents you from accidentally signing in to a phishing page.

I will strongly suggest you look into getting a password manager.
It requires a bit of work to get started with, but you'll definitely enjoy it in the end!


Anyways, to answer your question:
Most attackers, trying to bruteforce their way into accounts, will have a long list of hundreds of thousands emails/passwords combinations stored in the format: "e@mail.com:P@ssw0rd"
These lists are created from databreaches on other sites, where credentials are leaked.
They use computer programs that are completely automated, and never really sit and fiddle with individual logins at all.
If the program tries to login with a credential-pair, and it's rejected, they will just move on to the next one.
All of this just to say; "hackers" do not sit and study unique passwords one by one. Cracking encrypted passwords is almost unheard of these days, and is reserved for highly prominent people, which are targeted specifically because they hold a certain value.

Regarding your question on breaking encryption.
Encryption of passwords is a one-way process. They take the full string, including the numbers and symbols at the end. If you change just 1 character of the password, whether this be at the start or the end, the resulting string will be completely different.
So knowing the end of a password, wouldn't make it easier to decrypt. It would make it easier to bruteforce, but as explained before, that is not a risk regular people should fear.

>>106914372
What are some good password managers? Open source preferred. What happens if my computer shits itself and I lose access to the password manager?

>>106914250
depends what framework the website is using. For example, if it's a simple html + js site (very rare nowadas), just right click and save then open index.html
But most of the sites will use something like react nowadays so you'll have to wget --mirror with some other arguments I don't remember then you'd have to maybe run a local http server with python or something so you can access it in browser

Thank you anon.

I'm actually asking because I am in the process of setting up a password manager (keepassxc). I know I can have it generate truly random passwords for me, but I wanted to create them by hand. Is this a dumb idea? I've made a list of around 75 nonsense, misspelled words that I want to combine in various orders along with a handful of numer/character strings. I figured this would let me keep a handwritten list of the passwords incase something crazy happens with my database backups. This makes me vulnerable to then being physically found but.. I hardly ever leave my room anyway.

The other thing is, why are password managers not a risk themselves? Couldn't malware exfiltrate your database file and decrypt it? Browser add-ons feel like it's another vector to retrieve your stuff too. I'm asking because I just don't understand modern security it seems.

>>106914385
This considered to be the ultimate recommendation list of password managers.
https://www.privacyguides.org/en/passwords/

I personally chose to go with a Cloud based password manager, precisely because of the risk you mentioned.
The upside to this, is that I also have an easy way to connect to all my passwords, both on my PC and my phone.
The downside, of course, is that you need to trust the company to not mess up.

My first password-manager (aside from Firefox Lockwise) was Bitwarden, but I snatched a lifetime-deal on Proton Pass for $200, which I've been using ever since.

>>106914569
>I am in the process of setting up a password manager (keepassxc)
Good on you! That makes me happy to hear, I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

>I wanted to create them by hand...75 nonsense, misspelled words...various orders
You can definitely do it that way, and it would still be 100x more secure than trying to "come up" with random passwords on the go.
But I don't understand why you'd want to go through the extra effort, when KeePass can just as easily generate them for you.
To me it seems like more work for the same result. If you want to keep physical copy in your home (very good idea), you can just as easily export them and print them out.
Saves you quite the hassle I'd say!

>This makes me vulnerable to then being physically found
Yeah that's not a risk-factor you have to worry too much about.

>are password managers not a risk themselves?
They are!
You are essentially exchanging 1000 passwords for just one. That means that it only requires the bad people to figure out one password to completely pwn you.
But fortunately password managers can be set up to require stuff like your email, your phone number, or your phone itself to access it.
If you have a cloud based pw manager, you should absolutely have 2FA set for it!

>Couldn't malware exfiltrate your database file and decrypt it?
In theory, yes they could "steal" your database of passwords, but since it's encrypted, it wouldn't serve them much use.
You must remember that encryption is secure, and especially the type of encryption these programs use.
Only state-sponsored agencies has the technology to decrypt these things... Perhaps.
When quantum computers become a real thing, the current encryption methods will need to evolve as well. But we're still a bit away from that.

>Browser add-ons feel like it's another vector
Yes. But the add-ons will have their own password, different to your master password, and are also encrypted.

Anon the original 8086 used microcode for all but the very simplest instructions, and the basic technique was old back in 1978 when it was released, mainframes had been doing that since the 50s. That's not a special optimization, it's more just "how you design a CPU"; you break up instructions that are meaningful to an assembly programmer or compiler-writer into smaller basic chunks that are useful across many kinds of instructions.

Here's a guy who writes about stuff like this at the transistor level. This one's about the 8086 but he's done a lot more for other chips and for more than just instruction decoding. The other posts in the 8086 series are well worth reading if you're interested in this kind of nuts-and-bolts stuff.

+1 password manager. I personally use keypassxc. But as long as you can trust it's encryption, anything should be better than nothing.

Password complexity over time has become obtuse. I feel it's best represented, picrel. Many systems try to enforce unsafe schemes that are difficult to recall.

The entropy added by this method vastly outperforms putting a few numbers on the end - which actually being common pattern makes the attackers job a *lot* easier.

>>106914150
>I think this is fucking up the dpi
That's a hardware thing, built into the display itself. No amount of software can change this, and only the display itself cares about it. If just gets fed a signal, it turns the signal into 'dots'.

Resolution of the signal not aligning the resolution of the panel might lead to the display trying to 'make it fit' resulting in 'not right'.

Also, the functionality is similar but a TV isn't a low-resolution monitor....

>What happens if my computer shits itself and I lose access to the password manager?

This is why you have backups. A sensible password manager will store encrypted, so feel free to make copies and leave them in places. Email one to yourself, cheap offsite backup. Copy one to a microSD card and bluetack it to the back of a roadsign a town over... The possibilities are limited by your imagination.

>>106914588
>I personally chose to go with a Cloud based password manager,
There is no cloud. Only someone else's computer you cannot control. Sounds like a good place to put something important. What can possibly go wrong?

>>106914569
>Couldn't malware exfiltrate your database file and decrypt it?
Exfiltration... Depends on your setup. Worry more about how the malware gets there in the first place.

Decryption... Depends on the methods used, and potentially the complexity of the passphrase. Done 'right', this stage shouldn't be possible. Well, more accurately, it should take that much to achieve that it's not really worth their bother starting. If you're really paranoid, you can encrypt the encrypted database. If one layer is improbably difficult to smash before heat death of the universe, then two might cover you.

>Browser add-ons feel like it's another vector to retrieve your stuff too

Hyprland. Dwindle layout.
How do I make it allow for vertical split (top and bottom) when only having 2 windows open? Since all screens are wider than they are tall, it automatically splits them horizontally which is fine for most thing, except when it isn't.
I can enable smart_split to get that behaviour but then it splits vertically when I don't want to. I know it depends on mouse position, but the whole point of tiling window managers is to not use the mouse as much, I don't always keep track of where the cursor is and don't want to move it whenever I gotta open a new window.
What I want is the default dwindle behaviour without smart_split but also for it to allow me to split top and bottom if I want to (which I usually do by dragging with mouse, but if I can do via keybind somehow then that's even better).

Um. Whut.
I'll assume that meant "if the attacker has your decryption password". Really have to question how that happened.

In posession of the password there's no need to brute anything, you just enter.

If there's partial posession of the password, then filling in the blanks has to take less tries than it all being blanks....

the whole point of a hashing algorithm is to identify unique data using a small, fixed-sized string. if there was any concern for collisions, they would have used a different hashing algorithm.
md5 has been known to be "unsafe" for some time, in the sense that it's not prohibitively difficult to intentionally produce two datum with the same md5 hash. accidental collisions are still unlikely though

>>106921289
>"lazy susan"
Maybe a powered one could be called an "ambitious susan"?

>>106921264
There's no good reason for them not to since most of them are just SQL databases. You can make the hash by itself a key, which would block adding anything else with the same hash, or make a proper hash table which does a deep comparison when the hashes are identical.

That program looks to have not been updated in almost 3 years... Yikes.

yt-dlp was developed to be a CLI program, and it's actually super easy to work with, even if you're not used to command-line stuff.

If you're up for it, you can grab it from their Github repo. Just click the "yt-dlp.exe" in the top three list.
https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp?tab=readme-ov-file#installation

Once you've downloaded it, it will probably be in your Downloads folder.
Open that folder, and in the top-left of the window there should be a "File" button.
Click than and select "Open command prompt"
This will launch a command promp window, in that folder you were in (C:/Users/USERNAME/Downloads)

Now you just need to type:

yt-dlp.exe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ

and finally press enter. The video will start downloading!

I know it's not what you asked for, and usually I wouldn't go "out of bounds" and suggest a Terminal approach, when you're clearly not comfortable with it, but I feel like you would enjoy it more in the future, especially if you download videos often.

You can also, as an alternative, just use an online converter.
Cobalt is super nice, and also uses yt-dlp in their backend.

I just had chat gpt explain it to me earlier, still annoyed I even have to type anything

I just want to click someone with yt-dlp 'in it', drop the url and have it download. no typing, just ctrl+c, ctrl+v, click

>>106921938
You won't be able to. Yt-dlp needs to be kept really up to date because YouTube constantly blocks it. I made my own terminal program for it and I might pay someone to make the web end for it then people can use that.

But you will need to use the command line for sure. If you're on Linux it's just:

yt-dlp -t sleep "https://www.videosite.com/watch?v=VIDEO"

It will then download to the current folder you're in. I should know the output command as I've been producing and maintaining a working Sonarr type thing that uses it for years, but I just use string constants so I don't know lmao. Is it -o ?

There's also something like --merge-output-format so you can choose the file to output as MP4, MKV, whatever you want.

>>106922261
I can do this if I get a web frontend made for my app. I wonder how much that costs...

>>106922261
I fully understand.
It wasn't my intention to push you into this terminal approach either - I fully get that some people might just want a damn gui (I do too at times)!

The problem is that the developers of yt-dlp does not actively support a GUI version, so whatever 3rd party program you'll find (like the one you posted), must be kept up-to-date by the devs themselves.

If you're absolutely adamant on staying away from the terminal (which is fine), then I'd suggest you to use an online site instead.
The one I posted (Cobalt) is super nice, and works for many different sites.

>>106922311
It sleeps automatically now

>>106922261
Create a batch script that prompts the URL and just runs yt-dlp.

M1 Max with 32gb of ram and 1tb of storage
or M3 Pro with 18gb ram and 512 g of storage

the M3 pro is around $300 more. I think the specs of the M3 should be enough for my job but the higher specs of the m1 max at that price seem really good.

My main concern is that apple will stop supporting the m1 max in a few years. even then, the machine should remain usable after that, correct? like with iphones

Good evening
I live in a shitty building in a major city in the USA.
The only internet provider is ATT DSL. I currently pay $75 for 12 mbps. I just got an email telling me they're raising my rate by $5 a month.
I'm bout ready to cancel and switch to one of those t-mobile hotspot things desu. The only thing I'm concerned with is that if they put me on random public IP i'll probably be banned from posting on 4chan (I know that I have trouble making posts when I'm on mobile data because my city is quite large and sometimes we get range banned and other times I get connected to an IP that's already banned or whatever)
Is my only option to buy a fucking pass? Or what should I do?
Also $80 a month for 12 mbps is fucking crazy right?

I got a bunch of DVDs, what's the best reencode to reduce size while being as "lossless" as possible?
I'm doing h.264 with CRF of 18 and slower preset. Targeting 3.1 profile. Seems to reduce the size by a 1/4th. Wondering if VP9 or AV1 could do better.

Do I need some sort of adblock when using mpv + yt-dlp? Can I use SponsorBlock on it?

does windows slow down on purpose after you haven't updated in a couple months to force you to update. this happens to me every single time even when i change nothing in system settings or install anything new

>>106924807

this person is having the same issue

>>106925465
Not really. While I love veracrypt most computer security is a balancing act of convivence and security. Though i'd argue this would make you less secure since you'd either be leaving it open all day to use as needed or being autistic and constantly dismounting and remounting the volume over and over and over again.

>>106924637
crf 18 is what i settled on for "near-lossless" x264 as well.
if you want to reduce it further, consider 10bit colour (since you're targeting a specific profile, you're probably aiming for specific hardware compatibility, if so then this won't be an option for you, since basically no hardware hardware decoder support 10bit H.264), bumping up b-frames (especially for animated content), and using longer GOPs (there's tools you can use to split the video by scene cuts and encoding them in parallel, which is faster and allows you to do 1 GOP per scene, which is ideal efficiency-wise, though it'd still limit it a bit in case there's long scenes, like minutes-long credits or something)
also if it's interlaced, which many dvd's are, be sure to specify this as an argument to x264. H.264 supports interlaced video but you need to tell it that it is. if you let it encode interlaced video as if it was progressive, this will not only damage the interlacing, but also reduce the encoding efficiency.
there's probably not a lot to gain from using newer codecs here since newer codecs are designed more for high resolutions and lower bitrates (that is, the closer to near-lossless you go, the less of a difference they make)

>>106924637
>>106925729
oh and if you don't want to keep it interlaced, then be sure to run inverse telecine if it's a telecined source (24>30 NTSC film rate). PAL movies don't need ivtc. and for 50/60i content, the best deinterlacer is QTGMC

walmart.com has both those items for $3ea but i cant order them to a store.

What can I expect from a higher TDP CPU in a laptop? I've settled on the Ryzen 7 8840HS after a bunch of research, and I found a nice laptop that has a Ryzen 7 8845HS. Compared to the former, it has 30-45W TDP, while the former has 15-30W TDP. It also a slightly higher base clock speed, and slightly better multi-core scores in benchmarks. What real-life differences would this have? I'm going for a slim 14 inch iGPU laptop

Yes.

I had to set up a secondary SIM on a relative's iPhone and I have a question - am I blind or there's no option to choose which like to use to call someone from you contact list without forcing SIM1 or SIM2 on specific contacts?
What I mean is, is there no setting to enable that'd do something like:
Start calling a contact -> get a popup asking whether you want to use SIM1 or SIM2 to call -> select SIM.

i've used various options over the years, early on you used to be able to mount the sd card directly like a card reader, but this isn't an option anymore afaik. i've also used mtp (barely, it's always been a shit option), curlftpfs with an ftp server on the phone, syncthing, and adb.
most of the time, i just use syncthing. like i copy a file into a folder shared with syncthing and then take it out of that folder on another machine. i might also use adb directly, like "adb pull /path/to/file/or/folder /destination". there's also adbfs, though i haven't felt the need to use that in a while.
it really depends on what you're doing, like in some cases just using syncthing as intended is enough, like sharing the Camera folder, where you can take a photo, and it automatically is copied to your computer for viewing. no interaction required at all. i'm just talking about one-off transfers

>>106928311
I got it to work (somehow). I think my second monitor may be outputting EMF which overwhelms the the shielding on the cable.

>>106929567
4chan tries to disallow public VPNs that can be used for ban evasion. Even though your use is legit 4chan might not see it that way, but likely won't know. It's possible that you'll get unlucky and get a banned IP from your VPN if it hands out a random IP, so make sure you get a service that let's you change IP if you need to. However the risk of getting a banned IP is much smaller since people pay to use them. VPNs that allow port forwards have started to become rare, which is needed if you want to for example use BitTorrent fully (can still be used passively with less seeds).

https://mullvad.net/en/vpn is a good Swedish VPN by one of the guys behind ThePirateBay. Mullvad doesn't have port forward though (if you just surf the web you don't need it). I think you can switch IP tho but I haven't looked in a while.
You can look around for VPNs at: https://alternativeto.net/category/security/vpn/

what's a nice netbook i can just carry around in my bag for light coding and command line in Linux? i don't want to carry my laptop around, but sometimes i have to do stupid "emergency" fixes for work

Why is running Windows 10 on a VM so fucking intensive on CPU?

>>106932529
forgot to say, nice keyboard/trackpad and decent battery are the main things, don't care so much about cpu or ram as i won't be running anything too heavy

>>106932499
?, found the missing mark.

recently (last week or so) I've noticed that I can't open webm's at random times. when I click on it to open it in the same post, it just stays greyed out and doesn't open. when I open it in another tab I get an error ''Too Many Requests'' but sometimes it does work and it just loads. what can I do to stop this?
I use a vpn but every 4chan (sub)domain is split, it should be okay no?

wtf is up with 4chan captcha? Its been the tiring weird letters with dots over them captcha the past week. How to go back to standard letters without dots captcha?

>>106932697
i only get those when i have to re-verify my session

if you're so much of a privacy nut that you won't even give 4chan an email address that might be it

>>106932714
4chan has never asked for an email. Timeout has always worked for a few posts then gone away. Been like this for quite a while. Only this week started seeing the dot style captcha for every post.

Don't know if it matters but I'm running 4chanX.

>>106932751
you can give an email to skip the waiting period before making a post/thread, if you don't have a cookie in your browser

>>106932714
unless you make burner emails every single time you might as well post on reddit if you don't care if all your posts across different ips and devices gets tied to your account

>>106931225
sure

Can I download / back up a page from a website somehow? There's this cool D&D guide I really liked from ages ago that already had to be archived by someone else and I wanna do that myself so I can always have it, it's in some forum

>>106933116
although, idk about boot - guess it depends how fast it takes to reach the max temperature

>>106932289
Does it crash if you run the game without the gpu? and are you sure it isn't the ram causing the issues? it often is

>>106932531
gpu accelerated or not?

how much money will the NSA pay me if I figured out a way to factor a big number? asking for a friend

>>106932468
Thank you for the input. Much appreciated

>>106933145
Without the GPU, it just runs slower and less frames. However, I remember something about the RAM needed to be seated in A2 and B2. Otherwise, the RAM behaves even DOCP on or off, just games triggers it nothing else does. Would reseating to A2 and B2 fix this issue?

>>106933220
Sure, but I would also install memtest on a usb stick and try that to see if there are any memory errors

Good point, works for my purposes
Would that work if it had those little forum dropdown menus and shit?

You can just press CTRL+S to save any web page you're on in a browser. Works in both Chromium and Firefox.
Select "web page complete" and it'll save images and such as well, probably javascript/css for dropdown menus as well. How well it works depends on how gay the web developer is in making the website "modern" (meaning incompatible with good things such as CTRL+S).

Btw remember to archive websites with both web.archive.org and archive.today so there's at least a way to compare the two to see if they are manipulated, or a backup in case one of them censors or goes down.

>>106933153
Not sure, I am using Oracle VirtualBox and I have 3D Acceleration on and it makes no difference. I don't see any option to use GPU.

>>106933387

Yeah that's the kinda stuff I was looking for, thanks anon

Is there any js frontend framework, that uses databinding, but separates html and js files properly?
I do not want to write in typescript, I just want databinding and separated html and js files.
Also no vue js template synthax.

i'm so oldskool i have no idea what you're even asking, just open notepad and write javascript, save as .js. then close and open notepad again, write html, save as .htm. successfully separated.

I'm not even going to pretend that my retarded ass understands any of this beyond the highest level abstraction but I'm still weirdly interested in it.

Not really tech issue (but asking for advice adjacent to it) would it be a good idea to take any classes or courses on machine learning and AI, since that's the direction where the future is seemingly gonna go? Or would it be a dying subject if people decided to abandon it?

>>106930703
What do you mean winjeet license? You don't need those anymore, you're the product now, you can install it on anything you want (as long as it supports their botnet and you make an online account).

Are all "ultra resistant gorilla glass" phones a scam? I bought a Blackview N6000 phone which was supposed to be able to survive getting run over by a truck. I threw it on the ground (~2m distance max) and the backside was slightly bent and the battery started smelling, possibly about to explode. I then also stabbed the glass with a screwdriver - not even strong - and it cracked. Figured I might as well test the glass since it's about to explode.

>>106933730
machine learning is and will continue to be a useful tool for solving problems

>>106933243
Memtest came back clean. No errors. So either the GPU is hot or it's failing. Given how beefy the games are, I'd wager I need to reapply new paste

So I want to do some market research for used small laptops for a friend of mine. It'd be used mostly for office stuff (mainly word, excel and powerpoint), either via MS office or google docs and internet browsing. Money is a big concern.
Problem is, it's gonna have to run windows 11 and I don't really have a feel for how much computing power modern windows needs. What kind of specs do I need for this, CPU and RAM? Bare minimum that doesn't suck to use.

Well, I suppose the technology will only improve or will evolve into something unrecognizable to today as time marches on, its probably best to learn how it works now rather than later. And I think it would be useful before it reaches a plateau (if it ever does).

>>106933817
anything less than 16gb ram is e-waste
cpu doesn't matter that much for office stuff

>>106933387
>Select "web page complete"
That's an amazing life pro tip.
Always was annoyed how you could save the HTML, but not all of the dependencies.

You rock!

>>106933817
Forgot to mention I will be bypassing win 11 install requirements.
>>106933831
DDR3 should be fine, right? What about DDR2?
What about wangblows bloat and internet browsing? These should take their toll on cpu. And when I say cheap stuff I really mean the cheap crap. Intel atoms, celerons, old old core i3s and i5s...

>>106933865
personally I would aim for performance at least on par with the n100
ddr2 is retro at this point

>>106933387
NTA but I did NOT now this, holy smokes pretty awesome.

I store my pornography on a conventional hard disk, it's super old, 10y+ old. But it is its sole purpose
I've been noticing that some files are skipping or otherwise displaying artifacts. Is file degradation a thing in magnetic media?

>>106934085
Im not a regular advice giver here but mechanical drives are prone to failure, yes in due time it can die, you should power it down and replace it asap or all the stuff on there might be lost if kept running. I dunno, one of the regulars please correct me if wrong.

The term for this is called "bit rot".

Just updated my system, on restart for some reason Brave browser looks like it has some sort of night/dark filter applied over the whole web browser? It's every web page and every element, including videos.
Brave on the left, Librewolf on the right for comparison - It's like Brave put sunglasses on or something.

Any idea what may be doing this? CachyOS if it matters. Can't find any relevant looking setting in the browser config.

I want yt-dlp to watch youtube on mpv with subtitles, preferably subtitles made by the author of the video and, if that fails or there are no subtitles, then and only then, it downloads auto generated subtitles, but only the english ones, not translated ones to other languages. The args I'm using are:
--embed-subs
--write-subs
--write-auto-subs
--sub-langs "en.*"
--extractor-args "youtube:skip=translated_subs"
And it doesn't work. It keeps fetching hundreds of translated subs and I end up with a list of 157 subtitles, most of which are null but that I have to scroll through to find the proper ones. How do I fix that. I don't want to see subtitles for anything that isn't english, I don't want them on the list.

>>106934253
Is the video HDR?

>>106934459
Another annoyance is that mpv by default shows subtitles on one line, then the second line, and then instead of removing both lines and starting again from the top it will replace the first line with the new one while leaving the second line as is. I'd like it to behave like normal subtitles on anything else, it shows both lines, then replaces both lines of text with the next ones at once. How do I do that?

Firefox only issue:
>Open video in new tab
>Audio & video starts playing
>After a second or so, it starts playing from start again (it's not the page that refreshes, just the video player)

Anyone else having this?

>>106934661
I get that with YouTube vids. I thought it was YouTube trying to inject ads and the blocker I had was kicking in.

I have an old MPG Z390 GAMING EDGE AC i7-8700K running proxmox and docker.
Will 4 of these work in my box MTA36ASF4G72PZ-2G6D1SK ?

is $300 usd for a 28TB seagate external drive a good deal? I know externals usually have shit quality drives in them that aren't suitable for a NAS (so they say), but I need lots of storage and I don't want to pay an extra $150 per drive.

My monitor is 1366x768, do I get any benefit in image quality from watching videos at anything over 720p?

>>106935177
Yeah, you're essentially getting a form anti-aliasing, particularly the color information.

>>106935177
Yeah, the streaming Jew uses 4:2:2. So all your web-dls have half the advertised chroma resolution

I don't think so, but it's not just the video that's darker - It's literally like the whole browser is shaded or something. Text, icons, images, etc - Everything.

Retard here, I ended up using my microsoft account to set up my windows user. Fast forward a few months and I noticed my user folder (C:\Users\USER) is firstnamelastname and I want to change it. I asked chatGPT what to do and basically unlinking my MS account + changing the registry should do the trick, but some apps may break because they'll still reference the old user folder name. Is there anything I can do about this or do I just accept my fate?
I don't want to create another user because I already have trillions of things set up in this user.
