For those who don’t know the image source, it’s from Kung Fury, a short comedy (half hour) on youtube. Fully recommend for over the top parody of bad 80s action movies.

It’s the power glove that really gets me. It’s so bad.
I put an optical drive in my PC recently, and I’ve been giggling like an idiot typing “eject” and “eject -t” into the terminal. Terminal commands that do something physical in the world delight me.
It feels magical to run systemctl shutdown now to my laptop through SSH and seeing my laptop turn off without touching it
I’ve also been getting a kick out of my new 3D printer and controlling it remotely. Even though if I hit the X+10mm button and that message has to go to Prague and back before the Nextruder nudges to the right.
Our AVR (audio video receiver, aka home theater amplifier) can be turned on via home assistant.
Felt magical the first time I turned it on by clicking a button.
I have to reconnect mine because I was just shipped a CD with a song on it I can’t find online anywhere…
I haven’t had a computer with a built-in SATA optical drive in years, just the crappy off-brand old recycled laptop drive in a random housing ones you get these days that require a good USB A-MicroB cable, and good luck finding one of those. Having a proper built-in drive is nice enough that I actually want to use it.
So I was playing with some of my old CDs, and noticed that my copy of Slippery When Wet is two-sided. Bwuh?! CDs aren’t two-sided, that’s a DVD thing. Sure enough, the “back” is a DVD that has the four music videos they made for the album, and two more copies of the music, one in “even better than Redbook Audio Somehow” stereo, and one in Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound that has been lengthened, mostly just additional studio chatter before and after the tracks but one of the songs, I think it’s Raise Your Hands, has a lengthened bridge or something?
So I learned how to rip FLACs from a DVD!
Weird Al’s Poodle Hat has a .mov file on it.
Had a big ol time partying like it was 2004.
Which you’re going to rip as .flac and .mp3 and share/upload somewhere for preservation, right?
Put it on Soulseek once you rip it please! Others are likely looking as well!
Every so often I have to buy a DVD because it isn’t available online anywhere, and I always try to upload it somewhere as a community service when I do lol.
Saving lost media from getting lost is a very honourable activity and a Service for humanity.
More people have to realise
Pirates save our culture
Lost doctor who episodes are a great example
