So its xmas weekend, and here i sit with my dog watching the prisoner ( the real one, with PMG, not that insulting abomination that came later in the early 2000s ). Like i did last year.

Ooooh.  Ryan Coogler of Disney.  Is it going to continue featuring the same Gillian Anderson who recently wore a dress covered in vaginas to broadcast her pro-abortion views at a gala?  It's difficult to think of any good way for X Files to be rebooted with our current perception of the FBI.

I scanned teh interwebz for pundits talking about it.  The pro-reboot and anti-reboot people are both saying the same thing: that it's [ good | bad ] because in the current year, conspiracy theories have turned out to be [ true | "believed by people I don't like" ].

You know what I would have done instead?  A fresh retelling of the story where Smoking Man was the protagonist, where the story explains the things he knew and that he really was trying to protect everyone.  Sort of the same way Winnie Holzman's "Wicked" told L. Frank Baum's "The Wizard of Oz" from the witch's wide of the story.

So once again moving my media files around. ( due to a stupid limitation in nextcloud.. not one most people would care about, but of course im different so it bit me in the ass )

Noticed i had some x-files ripped. But just a couple. 

Sooo do i dig out my DVDs and rip them ( perhaps 4 years worth i cafe about )  or delete the few files and just use spinny disks?  Its not like i watch them often.. 

They are already out there.  Would not be adding anything new.

Rip everything, then upload it to i2p torrent trackers. Any other easy question?

So we all know Dr who has gone to hell since Capaldi left ( and started heading that way before he did, which is a shame, he could have been the greatest doctor..  )

There is a guy who does reviews. ( since most of us could not tolerate watching, he takes it for the team ).  He is entertaining to watch, especially when he brings out Professor Dinkles, which has been too long now..  This last episode review however i paid more attention, and somewhat regret it..  the show has got so bad i dont even have the words.  

oops  This wont end soon.

"In a sign that the blackout of Disney channels on DirecTV isn’t close to being resolved, DirecTV has filed a complaint with the FCC alleging that Disney has failed to negotiate in good faith and that Disney has violated the FCC’s good faith mandates by predicating any licensing agreement on DirecTV’s waiving any legal claims against Disney. "

Well, i know i;m not up on current TV ( or even recent.. ) but i guess they did a reboot of MacGyver with some kid as the show runner, and ya, i hear it sucked as bad as you might think. It had 5 freaking seasons..

Was talking to someone "which show" "uh, what do you mean.. " So had to go look it up.

New to me.. Double sided DVDs

Got something from eBay today "hmm no labels.. what is this"  ooo, ya, they are double sided and i didn't just get ripped off.  ( and correct ones, i went thru all 9 disks )

I don't buy much video. I quit years ago, nothing new i have wanted for a LONG time and i had most of what i wanted.  This is an older show.. 1964/5/6. 

Got tired of commercials on pluto " i wonder if its on disk... "  ya. it was. and cheap.

Someone still prints magazines? On paper? So anti-earth! 

( ok im joking but i dont pay attention to that either.. )

Oh, the DVDs they ship with Linux Magazine

You are so late, you are cute.

Hehe 😁

Yeah, that was a thing ... during the last few years of physical media before everything went to streaming, it became common to manufacture discs with the DVD format of a movie on one side and the Blu-Ray format on the other side.  The title would be printed in the center hub area of the disc.

(looks around on the 'net a bit...)

Oh, so I guess you can still buy some new titles on disc today.  Interesting.
