E-ink bought a lot of competitors and alternatives up and thus why it's expensive.

They run Linux

No, that's PocketBook who runs a (old) "naked" Linux. Kobo is AOSP-based; a vendor-ROM without Play Store and thus no "Android" certificate.

Well ok, if you are to call Android a Linux, Matter of opinion. I do run LineageOS on my Leaf btw.

Unless deployment is really that much better and easier

In staging, i made a batch script to run the shortcuts on desktop we had to run to check if setup was successful. But i couldn't just run the command of the shortcut but had to run the shortcut itself, because that made a difference.

In short: no.

[solved] How to backup a bunch of blu-rays? (lemmy.ml)

Seeing that DVD are slowly going end-of-live and that you can't buy a lot of my childhood favorites in german anymore and streams are compressed-to-death (and DRMed), i had a streak of preservia. Which is why i rip a bunch of discs from the library on Linux (yes, legally not ok, but morally just ease of access, i wouldn't sell them). Since it's only to watch them when nostalgia hits, i want them in a ready-to-watch format, chose AV1 webm for small size. My burner is LibreDrive-ok ootb, meaning makemkv goes automatically in that mode.

I have the discs for a limited time, so i used to use dvdbackup for DVD and later feed the folder to handbrake for conversion. Now i got a bunch of blu-ray:

ripping one takes even longer; whole 25 hours; i don't have the time for the whole LotR series with bonus disks.
makemkvcon backup needs only about 2 hours per disk, but the resulting folder is 80 GB big; i have only about 250 GB free space ** and the makemkv backup somehow has no audio streams, while handbrake does

While i write this, handbrake is loading the chapters (that alone needs more than 1 hour for blu-ray); i'm trying if a lossless FFV1 mkv conversion (for later re-conversion) takes less long.

Now:

Any better approach?
Any way to fix makemkv having no audio? (i could juggle with external disks) I think i have all libraries and the KEYDB.cfg.

Edit: nope, handbrake suddenly has unable to decrypt unit (AACS)

[Solved (gave up)] Any Android Qr app (preferably Open Source) that allows decoding via "open with" or share? (lemmy.ml)

Because, we have here something called "Swiss Qr Bill" (standardized e-bill with Qr code) and some shops send you the bill via email. Would be nice, if i could just tap the qr-image and open with app.

Situation: we live in europe, there's PRISM and Privacy Shield and all that, to which selfhosting is the solution. Now, my sister, mostly on Apple, got concerned with all the hacks and privacy violations over the years. She's a tech noob, so i can't really recommend her prism-break.org

There's a bunch of hosted solutions geared towards small to medium business, like Univention Corporate Server, NethServer, etc.

Are there similiar bundles for private use, basically Apple cloud alternative? With services like cloud storage, cloud office, media share, maybe chat, videocall?

Or should i let her wait until i got my box up, VPN her over? I'm only semi-professional tho.
