Yeah.. at least you can share the app installer without Internet, and communications done on the mesh can be transmitted online as long as one single node can get Internet access.

Make destroying evidence a worse offense than the crime (or as a de facto admission of guilt) and sanction them accordingly.

This doesn't apply worldwide, but to put some stuff in perspective privacy-wise: in the UK you need to go through age verification to create an adult PSN account, kinda hard to stay anonymous, and I'm not sure how much data Sony retains.

The format currently used in adblocker predates uBO by almost a decade so no, but still, maintaining this add-on with how fast and often web browser changes, and keeping it performant must be quite the task.

Any company trying to use the HDMI-CEC protocol in such a subversive manner should lose their license to the HDMI standard IMO.

her ex-roommate at Colorado State University threatened her with a gun

the case against the roommate was dismissed a few months later and a judge declined to keep the protection order in place

claimed the ex-roommate continued to stalk her, and said police did not respond to her calls for action

Considering the case is now quite publicized, I would be worried for this person's safety if sent back to the US and the current political climate regarding transgenders.

Are you living under a rock or something?

You think this person will be safe in the US after all this media circus?

I have a DVD collection I want on my Jellyfin library. What software should I use for compressing these DVD files to sizes matching what you find at sea?

EDIT: Thank you so much everyone! There's so much help for me here, and I'll recommend anyone with similar question as me to read the comments...

Handbrake would be the easiest. For commercial DVDs, you just need to add libdvdcss-2.dll in your Handbrake install directory and it will bypass the copy protection.

For the container I'd suggest going with MKV. For the video codec you can go with x265 (HEVC) with a CRF/RF of 22, which should give you a good balance between quality and size. For the audio you can copy it as-is.
