I actually spent time on ripping the 'you wouldn't steal...' video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. πŸ˜…

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. πŸ˜…

Yet if I enter something like 'resolv' in Google I need to add '-resolve' to not get hundreds of unrelated results... Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose... I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query...

But with terabox and "content plaza" it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I'm guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results... 1 result? Those are pretty common words,...

Torrents, modded apk's,...

Check out my results for some chinese download service called "Content Plaza" for example:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the 'entire' internet? 2? Right...

I've always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That's very likely VLC's post-processing. It doesn't look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. πŸ˜…

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn't bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. πŸ˜…

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC's magic doesn't seem to be so effective on Android(TV)... 😜

Here's a little hack if you do have to use youtube:

Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,... After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it's being abused. πŸ˜…

Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.

Hehe, yeah, even their God's were recycled Greek ones.

Roman got it from the Greek too before adapting it, iirc.

Hey,

I was looking for a second fun domain, and I know this is a hard subject, since nobody really likes giving away rare finds of unused, cheap, and yet cool domain names, so not asking for suggestions. I actually found a whole bunch of those against my own expectations last week, tbh, but I'm still looking for a 'perfect one'. So, my question is: how do you go about looking for fun domain names? Is there anything that can help with getting something nice? And what are your expectations in getting one? (Short? Funny? Pronounceable?)

I did already try asking a LLM (ChatGPT) or three, but I actually came up with way better ones than those could generate, so they aren't adding to the solution. I also tried those websites that ask you to enter a few words to put one together, but they were even worse, cause they just spit out .com addresses, while I like to integrate the TLD into the name (like for [already taken] example: "do.pe"). πŸ˜…

Or do I really have to depend on my own imagination alone? Cause the thing is that my imagination is known to usually spit out the best ideas when it's just too late. πŸ˜…

Anyway, TL;DR: Any input that improves the finding of a good unique domain name would be welcome. 😜
