I ripped to flacs not because I can hear a difference but I can reencode to any format I want and never have to rip again.

What is the mkv going to do? It is not a executable format.

I’d say it is the opposite. DVDs can stop being made.

Me to but I skip the purchasing BluRay and ripping it part.

So is Apple as bad? They have done all of that also. But all I hear on their Reddit’s is it had to be done they have a responsibility to shareholders.

What is the choice. Apple?

YouTube lose would be a blow. All the knowledge there that would be lost is massive. And nobody is going to replace it.

And none of that matters. Because here in Alberta we vote by color and not policies. And yes I used American spelling on purpose.

You can’t replace China or the US with other countries. They are massive economies there is no one to replace them with. Do you need them not not necessarily but be prepared for your economy to shrink.

Sure we might be the tenth largest but that doesn’t make us big. We are small in comparison to the tip five. We do not have the scale for a do.estic auto market unless the companies are fine being tiny. And that’s not the way the world works now.

Doesn’t matter there we’ll never be a replacement for YouTube the cost is to great. Think of the storage they barely remove videos they just stay up there.

Hah I wish. Society is to soft abdicated to screens and comfort. As long as the masses are entertained almost anything can happen.

All of America’s are settler colonies. Or are they not to you because they are not White.

Why expose any ports at all. Just use reverse proxy and expose that port and all the others just happen internally.

It’s not gate keeping it isn’t self hosting someone else is hosting it hence the self is removed. Should discussions be allowed sure as long as it’s about the application and not problems with their hosting provider.

I mean by definition it isn’t self hosting as someone else is hosting the service for you.

I’d say it isn’t self hosted. Same as companies doing the same not calling it on prem. No should discussions be allowed here yes as long as it isn’t about the hosting provider.

Host can take your data and shut you down. Not SELF hosted. Same as business not calling it on PREM hosting when they do the same.

Your hosting but not self hosting.

But wont see jail.
