  • There’s no automated way to handle it, but you can probably speed it up a bit with a few tools.

    Generally once you find the first episode of the disk, the rest will be named numerically after it, so maybe the special features or FBI warning or other misc things are the first track or two (starting at 0), or it could be the first episode, but once you find that one the rest will usually be named in order (t0_01, t0_02, etc).

    In Windows, I used a tool called Bulk Rename Utility (https://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/) when I did this in the past. Once you figure out how to use it, you can rename all the files at once in the folder in a format (show_s1_e1 or other supported format pretty quickly. It won’t be automatic, but will be way faster than renaming them by hand.

    I usually use TheTVDb to do the naming, that way the shows can be found / indexed easily.

    The only thing that you’ll have to keep in mind for show rips, is that many times the DVD order isn’t aired order, and they may not match the order on TheTVDb, or other source, so you may have to rename them in Aired order occasionally, or change the settings for Jellyfin: https://forum.jellyfin.org/t-resolved-dvd-order-instead-of-aired-order


  • Does your motherboard have a boot menu option?

    I haven’t done 2 Linux installs in this way, but for Linux / Windows I don’t really “dual boot”. I have two separate drives, with two separate installations. I can boot into either one, even if the other drive is missing.

    I did each install with all of the the other drives removed from the machine to keep things clean. Then I can just select whichever drive I want to boot into from the motherboards / UEFI boot menu.

    The only downside to this is that I do have to select a default boot drive, so if I’m not paying attention, Windows update will reboot into the Linux installation since it’s the default drive.








  • While I don’t / won’t use the slop machines, I’m not entirely convinced that they haven’t / won’t just add a Copilot Free account to my VS or GitHub accounts: They did just this to my (now canceled) Office account.

    I do think that a lot of people are missing that it’s just Copilot data that they’re using to train, not all of the repository data hosted on GitHub (or don’t trust that it will be only Copilot data long term).

    For me it just means one more thing to move to our own servers (we always self hosted SVN)



  • Haven’t been really into the scene much in a few years, but this seems to track.

    Over the years I’ve built several kits, and a couple of partial / fully custom boards (including one hand wired), but my current daily driver is a Keychron, and I’m super happy with it: Between the build quality, case and switch options, QMK, hot swap, backlighting, etc, I really haven’t missed my older boards (although I still want to build a split 1800ish layout someday), and I’m sure I’ll dump more money into caps at some point.





  • Going to start doing this to the QuickBooks online one that shows up automatically every time I log in.

    Was just asking it for recipes, spamming it with random text, asking how to embezzle, or why the Intuit management was so incompetent and evil, until it told me I was out of tokens for the month and tried to get me to buy more.
