MakeMKV down? Alternatives?

What if you set the IP for that domain in your hosts file?

They did you a favor. It happened to me maybe a month ago and I'm not missing it. I was pretty much down to using one sub only by the time it happened, though, so YMMV I suppose.

Proposal for a modern unified Linux system

I wonder what Unidan is doing these days.

You will be coerced to tolerate it!

That's true, but it's extremely unlikely that Brilyn Hollyhand hates him for the same reason you do.

It's true, but it's a company that doesn't sell advertisements at least.

If I recall correctly, the idea was that they might have used that part of the band deliberately so that it couldn't be jammed without also jamming GPS. Either way, we're just guessing.

Western people in a nutshell

When I spend time reading about culture in other countries, especially Japan and South Korea, but also China, it sometimes sounds intolerable to me. Not because I think it can be said to be overall worse than the one I'm in, it's just bad in ways that I am not acclimated to and would struggle to tolerate. I grew up in the United States, and I have developed spiritual/psychological callouses that let me operate here. Maybe another analogy would be microbiome and immune response.

Anyway, I'm sure the reality is different. These are just the way I make sense of what I hear. After all, people do travel and manage to thrive in many places.

Sometimes a decent FOSS app is created with no income flow, true, but I don't think anything on the scale of a web browser/rendering engine has ever.* All of the sizable FOSS projects I can think of have the support of one or more sponsors who have an an interest in seeing the project succeed. I'm thinking of Linux, Chromium, AOSP, Debian, KDE, Blender, and the like. About 85% of commits to the Linux kernel are from full-time employed corporate contributors.

Lemmy gets some sponsorships I think, but from non-profits. Besides that, it is supported by donations, and seemingly not enough. I was a regular donator, but I've since fallen on hard times and cannot help right now. They deserve better, honestly. My point is, we take nice FOSS projects for granted, and I don't think we really have any right to complain if they go away or wind up driven primarily by corporate interests. The work is not free.

*Come to think of it, I think KHTML, the rendering engine on which Blink and Webkit are ultimately based was started as a volunteer project. After it became a viable starting point for Apple and Google though, it was forked and primarily developed by employees of Google and Apple. I guess that's a similar story as Linux, but without the fork.

Answer that, ye handsome homos!1!!!1!!!

I think it's more like "unashamed." A refusal to hide this essential aspect of oneself.
