Lets trust the company with an illegal monopoly with verification checkmarks I am sure nothing will go wrong.

Its more not wanting to rely on new petroleum based plastic being produced reusing old cases or 3d printing a PLA based case is a way I can preserve dvds without having to buy new cases.

Amazon legit admitting to seeing how much bs they can force on their already paying customers without the money lost from people unsubscribing exceeding their ad revenue.

Iran is an oppressive regime though no sane person plays pinata with a Hornets nest and expects the Hornets to not retaliate. This is about Benjamin Netanyahu being a warlord while treating all Israels neighbors badly.

The lesson here is to download every single working nintendo emulator as a backup and share it with your friends. Emulation is legal after all even if the Nintendo mafia try to shut it down.

Nice I am looking into places that do 3d printing since 3d printers are expensive plus you need somewhere to store it and some of the models are really big. Though I might end up just looking for used dvd cases since I am planning on only using the printer to print cases for dvds. If any dvds no longer work I can always take the cover out and use for ones that still work.

I have been playing ps2 games via emulation and have been looking into 3d printing dvd cases so I can properly store all my dvds. I am also burning them into a backup so I don't have to plug in my external optical drive every time I want to watch a dvd. It is also better for preservation purposes. I am looking forword to your new social media platform especially if it part of the fediverse. I would love to join when its up.

That is disappointing.

I don't have a 3d printer though I will see if any public library has one I can use. Making it by hand instead of a 3d printer is something I have not seen done so it may not be practical.

Thanks I haven't done any 3d printing before but I will look into if any libraries have a 3d printer and if recycling plastic to make the filament is also an option. Either way it 3d printing the the holder and building the container to attach it to out of recycled material would be better than buying a new one out of new plastic.

Its the little circle thing you clip the disc onto that goes through the hole of the dvd to hold it in.

 

I have a few dvds with some missing their cases and was wondering if anyone has tried making their own. The problem with a lot of tutorials is you already buy a basic case to modify that already have the push buttons. From searching online I have found them refereed to as push hubs and spider hubs though there doesn't seem to be a consistent name for them.

Just an update since youtube blocked invidous it has been a lot harder to use, jing rocks is the only one working for me atm. Piped seems to also not not be working. Youtubes illegal monopoly needs to be broken up.

 

For example people consider ps2 retro but I always considered retro being in the 80s and earlier. No right or wrong answers it was just something I was curious about.

I recently decided to reinstall linux mint 21.3 Cinnamon to clean any extra packages I installed over time so I didnt have to manually look for and uninstall packages that I no longer use. Though when I tried to run lutris it would no longer run so instead of trying to get it to work I thought I would try pop os. First thing I noticed when installing Pop OS was the different layout. I was use to the linux mint layout since I went from windows to Mint. I never used Mac so this layout might seem normal for mac users. So far I have reinstalled Lutris and got lord of the rings the battle for middle earth 2 to run. This is part2 of my first post from a few months ago. 1 month of Linux Mint and some thoughts.

 

I have been getting into emulation though there is no emulation community here to talk about it. I assume emulation discussion in gaming is welcome any thoughts?

 

I have only been browsing here occasionally so I am not sure what all the new things happening here are. I did notice kbin.run is down so I am not sure what is going on with that.

 

This can also apply to peertube instances if you use that.

 

This seems like an odd question I know but I have been thinking there are probably so many theoretical hobbies that nobody has actually done before.
