This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Me approaching you at the bar

What's the source of the gif?

[–] AtariDump@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

Probably the internet

return of the living dead

[–] skoell13@feddit.org 1 points 3 months ago

Thank you. Guess I have to rewatch it.

Every time I consider that my near-a-terrabyte may be a little excessive, I'll remember anon.

Then again, I keep videos to 720P or less, and convert gifs to video, so if anon's an HD and/or 3D/Vr maniac, I could easilly have more than them, measured in playback time.

I'm kind of ashamed of the lengths I've gone to to "optimize" my stash, not too much though cuz finding good upscale and compressing software that's also cross-platform is always hard to come by.

Talking of organizing your stash: stashapp / stash | GitHub.com

Ran into that when I was looking for apps like Upscayl, Caesium and dupeguru, I wonder if anyone would be up for releasing a third-party flatpak on Flathub, they allow NSFW apps there and I saw an issue from 2023 mentioning it.

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

I just use FileFlows to automatically optimize all of my video files. I've got my streamer app to only pick up the converted videos, so I just have to wait on automatic processes before stuff is available for me.

I've got good news for you: Storage is now unbelievably cheap compared to just a few years ago.

I've forgotten what deleting a file even means.

Years ago when I started ripping CDs people called me an idiot for not using MP3 instead of flac. They aren't laughing now. I fully admit that MP3 can be transparent at high bitrates and modern codecs even more so but that's for the end device (like my car or phone) not archival.

The same will be true with my Blu Ray collection stored as decrypted ISO files... I hope.

[–] Kalladblog@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Why would you convert gifs to video to optimize storage space? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

[–] jacksilver@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Gifs are actually really inefficient. It's largely a legacy format issue, but Gifs store every frame as it's own image while mp4s (in simple terms) store the delta between frames.

This link sorta talks about it - https://medium.com/@trongawesome/gif-vs-video-9b9392ec5814

[–] Kalladblog@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

Oh, neat. I wasn't aware of that and never thought about it even in that way. I resorted to gifs if given the chance becuase it was way easier for me to mess up the encoding and other stuff of the video, resulting in way bigger file sizes than necessary. I guess it's worth investing a bit more time in that lol.

We need Petabyte drives to be normalized!

I prefer audio, comics and text so my database is deceptively small

I wont approach women even if my life depended on it

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 3 points 3 months ago

Yeah my wife is scary enough

[–] lowered_lifted@sh.itjust.works 2 points 3 months ago (3 children)

anon is wise lol given that in joe Biden's America not even with Trump in there, the red states all did ID based porn tracking

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Honestly surprised the database hasn't been hacked yet. It's blackmail heaven for China.

[–] JokeDeity@lemm.ee 0 points 3 months ago

Why said it hasn't?

[–] spooky2092@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 3 months ago

Lol, you really think it stopped being Trump's America even when he was out of office? There was only like 2, maybe 3 months where there might have been some kind of push back against him from the republican media and establishment.

Porn ID laws fit in perfectly in Trump's America.

[–] Hikermick@lemmy.world -1 points 3 months ago

You do realize States have their own laws?

[–] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 1 points 3 months ago

Not even then. You are throwing a dice anytime you approach anyone.

[–] Ilovethebomb@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'll just use my imagination.

Or the lingerie section of the junk mail.

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

AI exists.

Infinite sexy wome-wait is that a third boob?

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

13 fingers stroking your face

[–] thatKamGuy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago

Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?

[–] chemical_cutthroat@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

If your doing it right.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 1 points 3 months ago

He isn't wrong tho.

[–] TriflingToad@sh.itjust.works 1 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

In Florida. Only a matter of time till they ban everything they can get their hands on. I've been saving everything I even glance at

The thing is, I have a low sex drive so it's like 10gb after like 3 months lol

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

So, more porn is the solution?
