Side hustles should be hobbies and done with no need to monetize them.
What the fuck, your job should be enough to support you and live, which includes free time to enjoy your life and hobbies.
But I understand, and more than once in my life I had to look for side hustles.
Podman guys... Podman All the way...
There is no "write and forget" solution. There never has been.
Do you think we have ORIGINALS or Greek or roman written texts? No, we have only those that have been copied over and over in the course of the centuries. Historians knows too well. And 90% of anything ever written by humans in all history has been lost, all that was written on more durable media than ours.
The future will hold only those memories of us that our descendants will take the time to copy over and over. Nothing that we will do today to preserve our media will last 1000 years in any case.
(Will we as a specie survive 1000 more years?)
Still, it our duty to preserve for the future as much as we can. If today's historians are any guide, the most important bits will be those less valuable today: the ones nobody will care to actually preserve.
Citing Alessandro Barbero, a top notch Italian current historian, he would kill no know what a common passant had for breakfast in the tenth century. We know nothing about that, while we know a tiny little more about kings.
My guess you had broken cables or defective connectors. Because even on cat5 (not cat5e) you should get much more than 7mbit, or did you have coaxial? LoL.
In my experience 90% are plugs, specially if you crimped yourself with Chinese tools
Foreword: I only stream my music, from FLAC preferably. I don't own vynils but mostly i don't own CD's anymore either.
CD is dead and should be dead. Rip it and stream it, full stop. No need or reason to keep a degrading digital format when you can just rip it (full quality and store as FLAC) and stream it. That's the whole point.
Vynil instead gives you the experience of listening, with all the associated crap/fun depending on your POV.
So while there is a case for vynil today, but I don't share it, there is zero case for CDs. Just download the bits. Don't waste plastic and shit with a polluting and degrading medium that make no sense today that downloading a full quality uncompressed audio file takes seconds.
Database is a non starter for me too.
With plain MD files you can sync and edit everywhere with any tools.
Sorry to say that tools comes and go... My notes don't. In 20 years time I will be using different tools, same notes.
The same is true for photos, and that's why Immich is also a no go for me.
Some notes: Don't use GPU to reencode you will lose quality.
Don't worry for long encoding times, specially if the objective is long term storage.
Power consumption might be significant. I run mine what the sun shine and my photovoltaic picks up the tab.
And go AV1, open source and seems pretty committed to by the big players. Much more than h265.
Go AV1... In my direct experience the space saving is simply amazing at the same quality.
265 doesn't seems to be the future since all Android are going to support AV1 by mandatory from A14.
I answer for myself. On linux the neat tool called "mediainfo" will print MKVs ,metadata, and that includes the real ISO title.
I wouldn't dream to use any stock android at this point. Been on LOS forever and each new phone I buy either check if Los is available or, in one case (my current phone) I ported Los for it myself.
Make no sense. Just download the ISO (from a torrent if you like "pirate stuff" or from official redhat after free registration) and install it. Dont sign-in, done.
Anyway what you pay for is supoort and online resources, not software.
Also, if you like "new" stuff use other distros. RHEL is for stability and long term support.
Not sure it counts.
For my 30th birthday my father opened a bottle of 1878 Porto his father bought.
So it was 130 years old.
It was... Unreliable. Full taste, very sweet, much more liquorous than regular Porto. We drank it quickly, what was left was fully undrinkable only a few hours later, totally spoiled. But for half an our after being opened, it was truly the most amazing Porto I ever had.
It has been bottled before cars existed... Before electricity became widespread...
Really a lifetime experience.
Now its gone, but I keep the bottle for future storytelling.
