Sure thing dude.
Dude, youre bringing some "exactly that kind of person" energy throughout this thread....
May of 2018 is when he said it.
Well this is my new favorite thing
They only ever shit on anyone trying to do anything.
Oh and lots of "bOtH sIdEs!!"
Grab what you can, add to radarr and you'll likely get the absolute bulk of them. There may be some odd ones out, and those are the ones I'd rip.
For the rips themselves, what I ended up doing for family tapes is a generic s-video capture device, ffmpeg to rip.
I capture for the full length of the tape, play it, take a peek that everything came in well, and find the end to trim (also ffmpeg).
Then that version I'll make an archive, and I'll transcode a copy for media server use.
Not bad, it picked Debian based on my responses and its definitely my preference. The list below all works too, with the minuses as noted.
Seems like a decent tool!
Gotcha, there are some folks out there who think its basically a blockbuster with a computer lab these days, so figured I'd comment all the same.
Its a resource too few take advantage of IMO...
TONS.
My local library is about half for under 12, a quarter or the space for teens, and then the last quarter is a split of nonfiction and fiction for adults.
So if you go as an adult without a plan or a request that came in, you may not find much other than the librarians latest rec or the newest additions rack.
For kids though, my local library is incredible. Reading nooks, educational play areas for the little ones, etc. Its wonderful.
My oldest is getting anywhere from 6-8 books a week right now, she's going into 2nd grade. Libraries are awesome.
As someone with friends and family on the spectrum, my best tip:
Take a moment to breathe when you've completed a thought related to what you're explaining, and look at the other person to see if they have information to share, questions, or just to express what they know.
This helped a few folks pace themselves, and the break for others they believe helped in not appearing condescending.
Hope this helps!
I have plenty of thoughts about their majority shareholders.
Its just none of those thoughts are positive.
