I found this software a couple of days ago. Not sure if it will really help with your first problem 😆 because I'm still figuring it out myself. But looks promising. https://github.com/wwmm/easyeffects

I did not get the hype for 'Don't Look Up'.

For me, one of the most memorable was, beating Ornstein and Smough in Dark Souls for the first time solo. It was a great feeling of accomplishment, and I could see that I really mastered that game's combat.

Can you share which one you are using? I am looking for good ones.

And the classic.

Why it's called "Roll down the window".

Okay, something simple. Being annoyed that you forgot to rewind the video cassette the last time you watched a movie.

Okay this took me back a lot. The nostalgia hits hard.

I regularly donate to the pi-hole project. Turning a spare raspberry pi into a pihole was one of the best things I did with a pi.

Here a link to their donation page.

No panic spinrite or ddrescue will handle it.

You get downloads and subs with NewPipe, too. But it boils down to preference. And I prefere a open source app to begin with instead of patching something.

Based on the screenshot I assume that you used youtube premium lite (what ever this was...) on your smartphone. Therefore, here the obligatory recommendation for NewPipe. Quasi Youtube Premium as apk. It has all the features you need:

• no ads
• you can close the app and your videos keep running in the background
• you can turn off the screen and your videos will continue to run in the background

There is also the fork NewPipe x SponsorBlock (link to repository) which integrates SponsorBlock into the app. (duh...) This will also skip the creator's ad blocks in the video.

The Kingkiller Chronicle trilogy by Patrick Rothfuss. It is not so much LotR becauseitt focuses on one main character. But it has a pretty clever and thoroughly thought out magic system and I for my part enjoyed the story. Link to openlibrary
