Doctor xNo

I actually spent time on ripping the ‘you wouldn’t steal…’ video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

I just love this meme-template… 😅

wakes up in 2002

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. 😅

Yet if I enter something like ‘resolv’ in Google I need to add ‘-resolve’ to not get hundreds of unrelated results… Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose… I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query…

But with terabox and “content plaza” it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I’m guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results… 1 result? Those are pretty common words,…

Torrents, modded apk’s,…

Check out my results for some chinese download service called “Content Plaza” for example:

Google:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the ‘entire’ internet? 2? Right…

I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

Here’s a little hack if you do have to use youtube:

Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,… After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it’s being abused. 😅

Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.

Add 2 more full versions and it might crash your towers. 😅

Hehe, yeah, even their God’s were recycled Greek ones.

Humans…

Can agree over a universal charging cable, but not over simple math rules…

Roman got it from the Greek too before adapting it, iirc.

I don’t see the problem actually.

1. Everything between ()
2. Exponents
3. multiply and devision
4. plus and minus
5. Always work from left to right.

==========

1. 1+2= 3

2. No exponents

3. • 6 devised by 2 (whether a fraction or not) is 3
   • 3 times 3 is 9

4. Nothing remains

Oh boy, can’t wait to see if the commenter upvoted my reply for the effort.

If I could find a good Peertube instance, I’d take it upon myself to reupload everything I like there. I collect the 1080p(60h if available) clips locally for Kodi anyway…

Back to Greek then. 😅

As an enlightened I must object.

Everytime I pass this meme, my mind auto-ignores it cause it’s been brainwashed to automatically think it’s an embedded ad. 😅

This just shows how I still need to get used to the fact Lemmy doesn’t do that and and that this image is actually well made. Kudos! 😅

Last time I tried this myself I could play a lot, but never the ones I wanted and ended up switching back anyway. Ever since I’ve just always been running a linux and a windows PC, each to its best use.

I must stress however this experience of mine was over a decade ago and I have heard there’s been a lot of improvement on the subject, with steamdeck becoming a thing and alike, so I have no up-to-date experience in what runs and what doesn’t anymore. What I cán tell you however is that whichever Windows-only game did play (using Wine back then, dunno how it’s done these days) always played at least 2-5x better than on the actual Windows it was made for. 😅

So good luck and I would love some information as to your eventual result!
