Thanks a lot! Did you do this sequentially with each CD, or did you have any concurrency with multiple drives?

I have a huge collection (100-200) of CDs from a relative that I would like to store the same way. Can you explain your setup?

At least from the truckers I watch on YouTube from Germany, there is already a shortage of rest stops for trucks. Sometimes you can see them even in the entrance of the rest stops, parked in a dangerous spot. If they all have to charge, then that becomes a problem, because they can’t find a space even „creatively“.

Not saying that electric trucks are bad, just one more problem to solve

Thank you! I don’t have many DVDs (and only PAL), but it’s good to hear that I would need to be careful when ripping them

Can you explain why it ruins the DVD encodes? I like this community to learn stuff

From the name I thought this was about learning NixOS, and they found a very clever name

Maybe the author could add a small note that this is not about that, and refer to something official about NixOS?

Anyway, I like the idea of the project!

Yes, although not as much. But I still keep my TI Nspire CX CAS charged for when I need it (needed it during my CS studies for adjacent topics). Specifically the CAS version is nice because it can simplify algebra for you, and even solve/rewrite an expression for a specific variable. There’s probably something I can use on my computer, I do like the ergonomics of the calculator though

They are actually of the same age, the iPhone 8 and X came out at the same time (yes it’s still confusing now)

Just for reference: if you need Subtitles on an OLED, e.g. on Netflix you can set the subtitles to grey (only in the Web app, but is used on all other apps). Had that same problem with the OLED

In Switzerland, most instructor cars are Diesels, since they have higher torque and are very hard to stall. Then you go home and drive your parent's petrol engine car and you stall it all the time

In German it's called the Kaufmanns-Und (roughly merchant's/salesman's And). I think it may be related to advertising, if you advertise a product name (or a producer name) with an "and" in it, the ampersand is much shorter and more visually appealing

To be honest, when I was very young, there was always the thrill something unexpected might happen on TV, and crashes were part of that. But this has quickly faded. I only dimly remember the Bianchi incident, at the time watching I didn't think too much of it. The Grosjean incident though was really something, and I got similar vibes a few weeks ago with the Schumacher (Mick) incident where he wasn't shown for a short time

Has there been an attempt at doing a shell?

(to GP) I really have to say, this is not how you should ask someone else to fix a problem. Going at the developers on a personal level is NEVER a good thing. If it was my project, I probably would have closed the issue completely after you insulted me this personally.

I think in Switzerland it's about 25 years until your plot gets recycled
