Basically your only other option is to find the keys for each BluRay you own yourself. I did go through the hoops a while ago and wrote it up: https://www.bennee.com/~alex/blog/2011/04/18/playing-blu-ray-under-linux/#playing-blu-ray-under-linux

However it's a pain sourcing the encryption keys you need for each disk. While I work hard to prefer FLOSS apps over their propriety equivalents in this case I'm happy to pay the small fee for a perpetual licence of MakeMKV.

The man is a legend although I guess he has done prior experience with codecs through ffmpeg.

The lack of follow up and record keeping at Tavistock was shocking. I'm all for expanding the range of providers to tackle waiting lists but they have to bring a more professional approach to providing care and a more holistic view if the patients.

It works well enough with the rasbian OS derived from Debian. However pure Debian currently doesn't have all the user space components to take advantage of the video decoder needed to play things smoothly. Currently I have Bookworm installed on the system but I run Kodi out of a docker image: https://github.com/stsquad/dockerfiles/blob/master/distros/raspios-bullseye/Dockerfile

Is the hardware support for Raspberry Pi still out of tree or can I use an upstream build now on my Pi 4?

A lot of projects would be better served with a plain Makefile although for widely posted projects something is required.

Qemu has used a single readable POSIX shell script for configure although recently most of the tests are in meson (avoiding some Makefile shenanigans in the process). While it's a new syntax to learn at least the intent is clear and reviewable.

Yes it does. You can derive the domain from snooping DNS lookups but the URL is part of the encrypted get header.

curl --upload-file thefile.tgz https://transfer.sh/somename

Then paste the resulting URL to the person who wants the file. Another useful app is the magic wormhole and I think there are some web front-ends for it.

Alcohol isn't that great as an organic solvent. Are you using the air fryer to evaporate? That must be a fair fire risk!

Butane on the other hand is a good organic solvent and will evaporate at room temperature (just don't evaporate it in a room or near any heat source).

Random racists is just background noise these days. I was comparing media coverage and comments from panelists on things like question time. It was certainly an area of comment for Blair and less so for Sunak from my recollection.

I guess I didn't notice in the coverage I watched. Was it the daily mail or just the dreges of the internet?

There was (manufactured?) outrage when Tony Blair converted after his premiership. I don't think the topic of the current UK prime minister's religion even came up when he was appointed. I guess that's progress.
