Sure you can convert the DVD to whatever codec, I have found the original mpeg stream to not be very compatible with my devices. When I did 264, it was more for speed. It's a 480 p/I mpeg2 stream, I don't think 265 is worth the extra CPU cycles for this case. This is also just an opinion. πŸ‘

True about AC3 being left alone, but dts should be converted, I can't seem to get that to bitstream as nice as Dolby tracks.

I do reencode my uhd rips, to bring them down to 1080. I only have one 4k display and it's not worth the bandwidth to try and stream it for me.

Did you try Kodi? Also, I recommend reencoding your dvd rips to h264 with eAC3 audio.

Since it's not active, it looks to just be geo based as changing my VPN location makes it work.... This was my first time visiting the website and it was showing someone opening an egg he boiled for 2 hours... πŸ’€

Give me some spin off like the voyages of captain sulu idk anything...

Give me star trek 4 vibes in a new movie...

Bottles was having the same issue. I was attempting to install SimTower off the CD copy I have and they all were having issues running. I believe it's a permissions issue that I could figure out, but not sure. After spending hours i went down the distro route and it worked perfectly the first time. Was able to run the installation for the game and launch it from wine.

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn't search as hard as you I think.

What Linux distro are you using? I'm on Aurora and wine doesn't really work unless you install it from the distrobox.

I have a really hard time getting Aurora working the way all my other Linux devices so that are running some form of Ubuntu (Mate or Bodhi). With that said, it's been very stable and i like not being interrupted with packages to install while working on things...

Mixed bag review. I give it 3.5 out of 5 stars.

With Aurora, I was unable to get winehq working without installing it from a distrobox instead. I can now play SimTower on my Linux PC.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren't insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around..

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

I wanted to try out the desktop version of the Brave browser. Its setup according to the privacy guide directions and I have sendoff usage data disabled, but if I open the browser sitting on the home page, windows is reporting 100KB ofdataa going out every 5 or so seconds.

Running the same test with Edge, no network usage is reported.

The only extention on Brave is bitwarden, which is also installed on edge.

Any thoughts? This is the IP it is sending to: 104.18.12.33

Edit: on reboot of process, I see the hostname: ec2-35-163-26-5.us-west-2.compute.amazonaws.com
