You get a real IP? Its been cg-nat with every provider for the last many many years in Italy.

I got a cheap vps and just run some reverse tunnels to map ports from it to my home server going trough my cg-nat.

Not a bot. Maybe. Funke.

Mmmm no? Seems it works

Don't. Backup data, reinstall software.

Answer.

No, because i did it over long time since I encoded only during the day hours and a few episodes at a time.

I can say that I fit a good 30% more episodes in the same space, but at the same time I also have added movies and reduces sizes too, so hard to tell reasonably.

I can say that all my collection was mostly h264 before.

Letteralmente ... Infatti mi sono già bloccato ahahah

Not angry in general.

If the question is what does enrages me, an answer is probably human stupidity. Or the idea that we have just better than animals. We aren't, we are just like animals, but with the potential to be so much more. Then comes human stupidity... Well.

i am well over 40 and still play games. The "problem" is that gaming now compete with lots of more important stuff like: kids, family, dogs, home repairs, sport activity, wife, work, errands to run, and sure I am leaving out many.

So, forget sitting on a computer or console for even half hour. I consume quick mobile games, where reflexes are not decisive (that's age, thanks).

I even bought a real Nintendo DS Lite with the cracked cartridge to load games on microssd, and my kid loves it, but even New Super Mario Bros takes too long between saves for the free time I have, so you get the idea.

Would I still do hours gaming sessions even if I could? No, too many hobbies and ideas that pop up all the time to work on... Maybe this is because I cannot for the sake of life get closed to modern games. AAA are cashgrabs, indie require too much time researching them, and anyway I need mobile gaming, that sucks overall.

Maybe I have a different point of view here, but I have actively converted all my TV series to AV1 and will probably to the same to most of my movies.

The space saving is huge, and the quality is identical to my eyes and hardware. True that storage is cheaper than ever, but this is not a reason valid to waste it anyway.

I have only 6TB of storage for my media and the power needed to run additional disks would only be waste on the long run, and so buying new bogger disks would be a waste for stuff I don't wantch often (more like hoarding than...).

So AV1 is the way. Software encoding is the best quality, I have heard, rather than hardware encoding. As for playback, I have a fire stick with AV1 support that works flawlessly, so.

Edit: I have FV at home, so converting to AV1 during daylight is actually free for me.

Agreed, in porn its only the looks, IRL its so much more than that.

In porn i always look for 20-something looking girls, but IRL I always found myself physically attracted girls (women) of my age bracket... So definitely older.

I am not sure that checking the time in the watch instead of on phone counts as reducing phone usage...

But anyway, any "smart" watch will not help you as they all need a phone app.

Get a cheapo analog watch, in that case...
