It’s called punycode. It’s just a way of encoding non ASCII characters in a URL.

Tell them how much power the TV and radio broadcast towers put out and watch them freak out. The analog TV stations ran even higher power than the digital ones do now.
It works fine with Syncthing so long as you only ever have the database open on one device at a time.
Movies are not sold on recordable media, they are sold on pressed discs. There are a lot more manufacturers than just Sony too.
I see an LG WH14NS40 on amazon for $55 US that will write triple layer discs. Where are you finding $130 drives?
Blurays will be much more reliable and will write much faster than cheap flash drives. A double layer disc only holds 46.5 GiB though and triple layer discs are still somewhat expensive.
OK, now ban bootloader locking next.
Don’t use more than one ad blocker extension on the same browser, it can cause conflicts.
If they don’t want to maintain the copper lines, they can always replace them with fiber.
8GB would be fine for basic use if it was upgradable. With soldered RAM the laptop becomes e-waste when 8GB is no longer enough.
I typically look for 1080p X265 encodes around 2-4 mbps to save disk space. I will download higher bitrates for anything with a lot of film grain since it will get very blocky at lower bitrates.
I can’t tell much difference between 1080p and 4K unless I’m very close to a large screen. Also, most 4K files are HDR and I don’t have anything that supports HDR.
They will usually block port 25 so you can’t run a mail server. It’s unusual for an ISP to block everything unless you are on CGNAT.
All of the mirrors listed on their website are safe. Just pick one close to you. If it downloads too slow, you can try a different mirror. If you know how to use bittorrent, you can use their torrent link. It will typically be the fastest.
That will add extra latency from USB. Old programs are not likely to be very tolerant of that.
Always get a router that you can install OpenWRT or OPNsense on.
There’s an option to allow it to run offline and that will allow it to work with cracked clients. There’s no user authentication, so only make the server accessible to people you trust over a VPN.
I wouldn’t put one of those amazon spy devices in my house even if they paid me. There’s no way in hell I’m going to pay to use one.
Someone already worked out how to do it: IP over Avian Carriers. The ping time is terrible though.
We just need a law to prevent them from changing the prices during business hours or limit it to one change per day if they are open 24/7.
This is why you don’t buy any hardware that requires “the cloud” to function with no option to self host. At least they are giving refunds this time, but that’s usually not the case.
