isn't it possible to automatically redirect to a backup email? If yes, then you must only make sure the forwarding server never goes down.

I agree with the FUCK COPYRIGHT statement, but copyright law and patent law have nothing to do with each other. please stop mixing these two concepts together. Richard Stallman has a great presentation where he discusses patent law, I think it is called "Patent law, danger to programmers" or something close to that.

hi, I just found this software that might be interesting to you: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info the author also made a utility for regular dvd. I have not made any tests.

If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don't feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.

Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!

justdeleteme.xyz is a lifehack

Perhaps an addition to your guide: Although I have not tried it myself, I hear it is quite easy to run local open-source AI models. By instructing the AI to reformulate your texts whilst adopting a certain personality, one should be able to efficiently protect against stylometry. This can even work with realtime chat.

That's why internet anonimity is so important for free speech.

You would be surprised with how common it is for the lay person to have problems on their computer. I like to start from there, and suggest a free as in freedom software solution. Then, once their issue has been solved, I will talk about the free software movement, explaning that these are the reasons that have motivated the authors of the software solution I promoted. Hopefully this leads on to a discussion about freedom in the digital world.

Well, unsafe if there are cars all around you. But if we replaced a lot of cars with these vehicles which typically go around 40 to 70 km/h cruise speed, I think it would become way safer than cars.

I'm not sure the bike is the accurate comparison target compared to the scooter or car for commuting. Also, I think the main reason they are not so popular is laws. I think there was another article on solar.lowtechmagazine where this was discussed, but from my fuzzy memory, the issue there is not yet a separate category for these kinds of high speed limit, electrical assistance vehicles. You either have to use it like a bike, in which case in many countries you are not allowed to go past a low set speed limit (something like 30 km/h) with elecrical assistance, or you have to register the vehicle to be in the category of motorbikes, in which case you are subject to the same rules, like having a license plate, needing to get your vehicle checked at the garage every year and other things. Maybe try to find the article, it will be better explained.
