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.

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

What's the source of the gif?
Probably the internet
return of the living dead
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.
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.
Why would you convert gifs to video to optimize storage space? Shouldn't it be the other way around?
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
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
Yeah my wife is scary enough
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
Honestly surprised the database hasn't been hacked yet. It's blackmail heaven for China.
Why said it hasn't?
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.
You do realize States have their own laws?
Not even then. You are throwing a dice anytime you approach anyone.
I'll just use my imagination.
Or the lingerie section of the junk mail.
AI exists.
Infinite sexy wome-wait is that a third boob?
13 fingers stroking your face
Why do you say that like it’s a bad thing?
If your doing it right.
He isn't wrong tho.
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
So, more porn is the solution?
