thanks i hate it
so this star trek movie blu-ray set is laid out nicely on-disc.
the disc title is clean and legible, there's no weird duplicate entries that point to the same stream, and the movie comes at the front followed by the special features
it's like they were being considerate to rippers ;)

Ran the numbers on estimated re-encoding times based on the codec breakdown, targeting settings for about a real-time encode on my 16-core rig for HD.
870 total hours of material
6.3 TB of input data
savings ratio very variable
~650 hours of estimated encode time (27 days non-stop)opportunity cost of having background shit running for a month versus buying a new drive: dunno ;)

there would also be an electricity cost to running a 27-day batch encode, which i estimate at $15 ;)
which i guess is cheaper than a drive, by itself ;)

hmm, I wonder how far VLC on Linux is from being able to display HDR video as actual HDR
At least under Wayland, my GNOME desktop has a big "HDR" switch on the Displays settings, and I can see it switches me to HDR *mode* and gives me a big brightness slider for the SDR windows (everything) but nothing I've seen yet shows me anything in HDR. ;)

Starting on the Star Trek TOS HD remaster blu-rays
If I'm reading this metadata correctly, they have cleverly used Blu-ray's ability to seamlessly stitch streams together to avoid actually duplicating the *non-effects* portions of the episodes between the original & redone-effects versions of the shows!
however the rip will end up duplicating the common portions into two separate .mkv files :)

So I can rip two discs at once between my LibreDrive-compatible internal drive (which now groks both 4K and HD Blu-rays as well as DVDs) and my external Blu-ray (which can't be LibreDrive'd and reads only HD Blu-rays and DVDs)
But the external drive is _much flakier_ and refuses to read some discs which read fine in the internal drive.
I wonder if something's just slightly off in the mechanism; it's a slim drive where most of the guts eject along with the drawer. :)

Almost a third of 2026 Oscar-nominated films acknowledge climate change
To pass the ‘climate reality check,’ a movie must depict climate change in some way, and a character in the story must recognize it

Just played the arcade version of Exerion.
This game was ahead of its time. Released in 1983, it was doing parallax backgrounds which gave it a 3D effect. And this makes a big difference for a game that’s pretty much like Space Invaders and Galaga.
Which is why home conversions fared poorly. You do not want to play the Famicom or MSX versions of Exerion because they fare very poorly.

Ford, Take Note: Classic Pickup Becomes the EV We Want
Ford does sell an electric pickup, but not very many of them. We can’t say for sure, but it’s possible that if the F150 Lightning had the classic cool of [ScottenMotors] 1977 F150 SuperCab conversion they’d have better numbers.
The battery box sits where a V8 used to choke on well-meaning emissions controls.
On Reddit, [Scotten] shares the takeaways from his conversion effort, which involved a custom Tesla-cell battery pack and a new rear axle assembly to house the Tesla SDU (Small Drive Unit). A Large Drive Unit (LDU) would probably fit, but the SDU already puts out 264 HP, which compares rather favourably to the 156 HP this truck’s malaise-era V8 put out stock. The old F-bodies were great trucks in a lot of respects, but even an die-hard ICE enthusiast is probably not going to be sad to see that motor go.Choosing to put the integrated drive unit in the rear axle complicates the build compared to other conversions that re-use the
Before the bed goes on, you can see the new rear axle with the Tesla SPU. There might be room for another, smaller battery under there.
stock transmission and differential, but saves you all the losses associated with that frankly unnecessary powertrain hardware. The takeaway there is to figure out all the mechanical work on the chassis, because the EV stuff is actually the easy part. [Scotten] had the wheels turning a full year before he got the brakes figured out, because even if they’re just the rears and even if there’s regen– you want all the breaks to work on your test drive.With the 100kW power pack, he’s getting about 220 miles of range. From the pictures, it looks like he’s filled up most of the hood space with that battery, but we can’t help but wonder if there’s room under the bed where the gas tank(s) lived to squeeze in more cells for those of us who need to go further.
Sadly the design isn’t open source, but [ScottenMotors] is apparently doing conversions on commission and open to selling kits; you can check that out on their website. In that, he’s following in the series-hybrid footsteps of Edison Motors.
While we respect the hustle to design an all-new rear end in this hack, you don’t even have to pull the internal combustion engine if you want to play on easy mode. You don’t need to be a nanoscience professor like [ScottenMotors] to pull off an electric truck, for the record– [Mr.G]’s high school class did a great job on a kei truck.
Thanks to [JohnU] for the tip!
