Tailscale. Use Headscale if you prefer self hosting over using their cloud service.

They ditched the motto but it’s still in Google’s code of conduct. Not that it makes any difference at this point.

It didn’t when I last used it. But that was also years ago. The Handbrake devs were pretty adamant back then about not adding remuxing.

If you just want to remove audio and subtitle tracks, don’t use Handbrake. That will re-encode your video which will result in quality loss. Use MKVToolNix or FFmpeg to remux instead and only remove the tracks you don’t want.

Remuxing is also much faster and less cpu intensive than re-encoding.

Exactly. Maximizing shareholder value is an inherent conflict of interest.

I don’t know if I want my friends knowing that I’m typically murdering prostitutes at the Valentine Saloon or getting lap dances at the Vanilla Unicorn before I shoot the place up. Can’t let Wade have all the fun.

Tim really wants that visionary breakthrough product to “cement his legacy”.

Let me rephrase that. I think it’s more likely that Valve will not sell to the highest bidder and will stay private. Their ability to control their own destiny has driven their success.

Do you really think it’s just going to be sold off? One of Valve’s biggest strengths is its ability to remain an independent private company. I would hope that Gabe’s succession plan doesn’t change that.

Valve’s faults are very well documented but I don’t understand the ticking time bomb reference at all.

I absolutely appreciate all of Valve’s Linux efforts. Linux wouldn’t be thriving as a gaming platform without them.
