Check out Cherrytree. I use it for keeping track of literally everything in my life. It’s hierarchical and searchable and you can insert files as well as hyperlink to external files, URLS and other nodes internally. You can export the database in various formats and there is also the option to have it encrypted. You can theme it in the preferences to make it look nicer too (the default is a bit retro-looking). It’s free and open source and AFAIK you can open your database in other applications, so you’re not locked into it.

If you want to sync it across devices just use Syncthing or whatever file sync app you’re selfhosting.

I highly recommend it! Probably the most important application I have on my computer.

I was just borrowing it when I made the rip and was also using a borrowed drive to read it, so I’d rather try and fix the files I currently have. I tried ripping it more than once when I had it, so I just settled for what I got - only getting around to fixing it now!

I copied it using a borrowed external optical drive.

I’m not sure how to tell if I have all the data but the size of the directory contents is around 3.5 gigabytes which seems appropriate for length of video (1h45m).

Will try your suggestion in mpv 👍

That’s good to know.

All of my own drives are encrypted except for a USB stick that I use for transferring files to a windows machine.

Would ‘overwrite with zeroes’ in gnome Disks work?

I installed Jitsi Meet on my YUNOhost server and am very impressed. It works really well and needed basically no setting up after installing.

I haven’t come across a single tutorial that ‘unlocks’ GIMP for new users (if I’m reading your question correctly) but I’ve found Davies Media Design to be an excellent resource for video tutorials, both free and paid. Also Bernard Hooft has provided a free video course and book.

Be aware that lots of learning resources are being updated after the 3.0 release, so some tutorials may no longer be valid.

Would it work to selfhost a Peertube instance?

Also gives you an opportunity to buy more beer on the way home so you don’t have to stop drinking.

I’ve had success using Czkawka (hiccup) for deduplicating

Not sure whether it helps but after the last major update on YUNOhost it notified me of a few extra DNS entries I had to make. If I remember correctly it was under Domains, rather than Diagnosis.

Well done BMW. Anything that leads to more people cycling instead of driving is a good thing in my book.

I think AI has mostly been about luring investors into pumping up share prices rather than offering something of genuine value to consumers.

Some people are gonna lose a lot of other people’s money over it.

I’m impressed…

Show me.
