Might be a bit narrow, but if you wanted to make some pickle spears it should work.

I like to do a fridge pickle (always gets eaten within a few weeks, so spoilage isn’t a huge concern). Something like this pickled jalapeño recipe works with most veggies, and you can use some whole black peppercorn and mustard seeds (or a pickling spice mix) to give it that pickle flavor.

I think I’m OOTL. An ant-fascist statement from them is wonderful, but what is their association to the Potsdam incident referenced in the statement?

Edit: is it just that they are a German company?

I have gotten whole cases of CD-R’s at yard sales and thrift stores. I do not own a single CD-RW. Even when I purchase them, the CD-R’s are so cheap that if I mess up I can just toss the error and still come out ahead. If I needed to overwrite it frequently I would probably just use a different media if available (like a USB drive).

For some reason my first thought was that this would be an A Tribe Called Quest crossover meme.

I think I remember them mentioning that the replicators can’t make very complex items, like a layered alcoholic drink. That and honestly a lot of people would probably still go just for the social aspect.

I can’t find anything for sure on the webpage, but I haven’t run across a DVD in good condition that it can’t rip. I may just be lucky and not own any DRM protected DVDs, though.

I typically use the beta version of MakeMKV on Windows, but I would have no clue what to use on my Debian machine. I hope you are able to resolve your issue, though.

I’ve been ripping DVDs for several years now and have never seen this issue. What program did you use? I thought most retail DVDs were read only once shipped, so I am not sure how you could corrupt it.

Have you tried playing it in another player (like a recent game console or a Blu Ray player)? It could be a corrupted driver for your PC’s disc drive.

Until someone comes in with a valid option, MyAnonaMouse has open sign ups with a relatively short interview. That was my first private tracker and I passed the interview despite barely knowing how to torrent. I’ve heard invites are easy to come by if you know someone, too. Ratio is incredibly easy to maintain, too.

It is not a public tracker, and as such does not answer your prompt. Just wanted to provide a stopgap until a valid option is suggested.

Ever since I switched to Linux I don’t really use Eddie as much, but I agree it could be more intuitive. Even on Windows I typically only spent 30 seconds or less with the client, though, so it didn’t bother me.

Port forwarding, relatively cheap, runs a good Black Friday sale, and I think its log policy is decent from what I remember.

AirVPN

My first show was The Next Generation after some half-hearted attempts at the original series. It was a fantastic starting place. It has interesting characters and entertaining storylines, and from what I understand it introduced the more modern Klingon design. If you end up enjoying it, it segues nicely into both Deep Space 9 (which, to me, is just as good) and Voyager (which has not caught my attention quite as well as the other two series).

I didn’t follow any single guide, but the following got me through my installation:

• Install Plex Media Server using DEB or RPM repository

• Plex file naming conventions

I used Dockstarter, since I am relatively unfamiliar with Docker. If you haven’t heard of it, it is essentially a GUI script that helps you with directories, ownership, and settings involved with a large selection of Docker containers. It tends to focus on the linuxserver io releases.

• I like qBittorrent, and this particular image worked best with my VPN (AirVPN): Dockstarter: qBittorrentVPN. The linked support forum was helpful figuring out a couple of OpenVPN specific issues I had.

• Dockstarter: Prowlarr

• Dockstarter: Sonarr

• Dockstarter: Radarr

The Trash Guides are useful for setting up the directory trees.

There’s also a list of suggested Plex server settings on that site.

I have mostly seen it where Yellow and Blue are swapped, but otherwise I agree.

Yoshi until MK8, now Link. Yoshi had the right balance of speed, weight, and cute, but I can’t not use Link.

I hadn’t even considered the potential power savings. That is a good point. And it sounds like I will be using Docker a lot. I will look into Open Media Vault. Thank you for the suggestion.

I have the benefit of not being particularly used to any Linux DE yet (my Pi’s all end up headless, and I haven’t been at university for several years now), so I was primarily looking at low-resource ones. Does that not matter as much as I have heard?

I am looking into this one piece at a time. Would you recommend installing a desktop on Debian? If so, do you have one you’d recommend? I am looking at KDE, XFCE, or LXQt for the Live images of Debian to try to get acclimated.

The other option has a download speed in the kbps range, so unfortunately switching is not yet an option. Rural US does not do Internet well. There is a better provider (that I was with at my last home) on the way, so hopefully I will not have these issues for too much longer.

Thank you for the concern, though.
