My first experience with the internet was in the early 90s, when our high school computer science class went to a programming competition held at one of the state universities. While wandering through the library I came across a gopher terminal attached to the campus mainframe. It wasn't much, and at one point I thought I locked it up, but tapping through hyperlinks on that amber monochrome display felt pretty amazing to me at the time.

I've been a fan of Simple Keyboard for quite a while now. https://github.com/rkkr/simple-keyboard

Replying to say dd is probably the better method for archival, but this works for me in most cases.

This should work for -most- DVDs, unless they're using some unique copy protection.

The following packages are needed: dvdbackup, libdvdcss, cdrtools

To get info on an inserted DVD (and check it can be read): dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -I

To rip the DVD to a directory (-M will mirror the disc): dvdbackup -i /dev/sr0 -o /path/to/store/dvd/ -M

And then to write the directory contents to an iso image: mkisofs -dvd-video -udf -o /path/to/save/movie.iso /path/of/ripped/dvd

From there you can archive the iso, mount it for playback, etc. My next step was a combination of MakeMKV and Handbrake to encode the main movie (H.265 MKV 480p30) for storage on a media server.

I'll second this as someone who used to administer an AMI headend. This is essentially an industrial wifi access point. This device connects to the utility's operations network, and provides connectivity to smart meters in the area.

This video is almost 15 years old. Link: https://youtu.be/0yfArN-e2OU

At least the sequel is relatively new but sadly (?) doesn't include timestamps like the first. Gotta respect the hustle though.

Yep, seeing that with my deck and HoloISO desktop right now. Best advice is probably to avoid restarting, and potentially switch to offline mode if you're still logged in.

I haven't played in a while, but SE always felt like more of a physics sandbox than an actual game. 'Minecraft in Space' is a far comparison. But it's shalow in that there isn't much, if any story, campaign, or real progression to it. It's fun to build in, and has a continued multiplayer fanbase. Worth wishlisting and getting on sale if you like building in Empyrion.

Thank you! I recently saw a thumbnail of this in a Feral Historian video and I was hoping to find a copy.
