Re: Super slooooooooooowwwww site

Re: Question about drives in a bluray duplicator

It sure seems to be a waste of drives to sit in a duplicator... TLDR; keep it if you ever desire a command and control auto-loader. If it is like I'm imagining then these are nice because you can gut them and put a N150 or RPI or whatever inside and have 1/2 of a command and control loader. Sadly, ...

Re: Backup fails but full rip succeeds

I believe there's a silent bug or the supposed error is not being printed. I've gotten this on several UHD discs with makemkvcon. I've ripped the same discs again and have not received the error. Furthermore the file hashes are identical between the rips, so I simply ignore the error if the reading ...

Re: Suggestions on backing up old self written DVDs

You might want to escape the DVD format and try using HTML. If you don't know how to format HTML you could use s...

I assume it helped and it'll be fixed next release :-). I'm back to trying to rip UHD discs on things like CoreELEC.

The stdout is largely for CSV parsing but, I believe $? is set for all errors, so you should be able to check that, eg. if [ $1 -ne 0 ]; then echo ERROR; fi

Re: Very slow disk backup

It all depends on the data or the time to gather the data. 1. My personal pictures are irreplaceable so I have them on a mirror raidz and create par2 files for them. A. My movies and TV takes time to collect so I have them NJ on a raidz-3. Everything computer related is expensive now and probably wi...

Re: Windows Explorer Crash

I'm pretty sure your drive is remounting for some reason or another (power lose, faulty driver, bad polling, etc.). This can happen so fast that you don't notice. On Linux when this happens the drive may or may not remount (depending on fstab, systemd, etc.), but on Windows it always remounts (I *th...

Re: Clearing file history

I know it's not an answer, but you could edit the shortcut command and prepend 'reg delete "HKCU\blah\blah" /f & ' to the path value. Or so I guess you can as I can't test it (you might have to add 'start /w /b').

Re: Input File Not found and Unable to load sdf.bin

I thought a snap had it's root at $HOME/snap/app name/..something / something
.

Obviously I don't use snap, but it's not surprising that a host path doesn't work as a jailed path.
