Thanks for pointing that out. The non-commercial license is a disappointment, but it's still better than conventional printers.

This is one of the first appliances I tought about when I discovered open hardware. Considering it was a proprietary printer that first roused Richard Stallman's anger, and considering printers have had some of the most unfair and obnoxious defective designs, it seemed only fitting to liberate those machines first. Only a few weeks ago did I have a friend telling me their printer had refused to work, until pers figured out pers's subscription had expired. There was nothing I could do apart from warning them once more about DRM and proprietary software and hardware. It is good news indeed to see someone working on this.

Peertube. Then, you can use a peertube search engine like Sepia search to search across many peertube instances, replicating the youtube user interface. Sepia search has a long way to go but if peertube grows it will get there. Searching technology is already a solved problem.

I agree with the FUCK COPYRIGHT statement, but copyright law and patent law have nothing to do with each other. please stop mixing these two concepts together. Richard Stallman has a great presentation where he discusses patent law, I think it is called "Patent law, danger to programmers" or something close to that.

hi, I just found this software that might be interesting to you: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info the author also made a utility for regular dvd. I have not made any tests.

you might want to have a look at this software: https://github.com/beandog/bluray_info makemkv is not libre software.

Personally between downloading music from youtube with yt-dlp and bandcamp I don't feel like I'm missing out.

If you find out a way of ripping blu-rays with libre software or find some tools that look like they could be assembled to solve the issue, do share! I don't feel like doing it myself for now because I have only 5 blu-rays but maybe it would be simple to change my existing script to adapt to blu-ray. Have you tried using dvdbackup or lsdvd on a blu-ray? Both programs rely on libdvdread, maybe it works on blu-ray too. In that case I think it wouldn't be too hard to adapt dvd2mkv to blu-ray.

Hey I finished my ripping guide and ended up writing my own script which uses only libre software (dvdbackup, lsdvd, mkvmerge and jq). Worked great for my collection of ~350 dvd. Check it out!

I would rather own my files on my phone like it's the year 2000 than my devices becoming useless whenever $streaming_service shuts down or changes policy like it's the year 1984...

I don't understand why they mention programmable keyboards there. Buying a programmable keyboard to be able to rebind your keys is silly when it can be made entirely through software. On X11 for example you can load a .Xkeymap file and set your keyboard mappings this way. I use this to have a modified dvorak keymap with Altgr+auoeidhtns giving [{(|=+)]}] on the home row for instance, very convenient. Then I use my window manager i3 to rebind mod+p to send Ctrl+V using xdotool (because mod+p seems more vim-like) and I've set my terminal urxvt to treat Ctrl+V as paste. if all software supported the Sun copy paste keys then I could send those keys instead of Ctrl+V.
