Haha kinda scary !! XD
Yeah I tried readeck and while it does better than the others it still doesn't use single file (or I missed some configuration?)
I do like it because it even transcribes YouTube videos and that's very neat ! However, I work lot on superuser, stack,ask pages which aren't properly scraped and render with their comments.
The only perfect working solution I found was singlefile + Zotero.
OMG, are you me? I’m also a heavy stack* and ask* user, that’s so funny!
I’m not sure if it really uses single file, I’m a relatively new user and while linking around the system, saw that it saves its stuff in a single … what was it… gz or zip or tug. But not sure if it just scrapes everything and puts it into an archive file.
If you use the browser extension, it saves the page as rendered (at least it should). If not, open a bug report, the maintainer seems quite helpful.
You can also somehow script extractors I believe, so it should be possible to correct saving ask* and stack* pages.

Are there any actual guides to remuxing?
"Remuxing just means changing format without transcoding."
"...there are like a billion guides on how to transcode"
Getting mixed signals here...
That's horseshit. Google has gone downhill, for one thing.
For another, the vomit of inaccurate and/or outright wrong "ai" generated drek has taken over every search provider.
For another, there's a lot of benefit in asking other people that have followed a guide about their experiences in using them
And, for the last, it's just a dick move. Don't want to give a real answer, scroll on, scroll on.
I would have provided a guide if I had followed one, but I learned how to use Handbrake using trial and error.
Google is easy enough to use that, generally speaking, if you know what software you want to use, you can probably find a guide on how to use it.
And, again, since you had nothing to contribute, maybe scrolling past would have been better than being a dick about it.
Just saying, it's an option. The post didn't do anything to inconvenience you any more than any other random post. OP didn't name you in specific to give a response, no matter what it might be.
That's what it comes down to.
It's Wheaton's law. Don't be a dick.
So, apply it. Be better. We can all use improvement in how we treat people, right? I mean, you're making some kind of reaction to being told your words were dickish. Anyone would. So, don't double down. Don't make excuses. Just use it in the future.

We need more elders like those in Japan who volunteered to clean up nuclear waste because they wouldn't have to live with the long-term side effects of being exposed to radiation.

in reply to whotookkarl • • •@ #9; Whoa there. 100% is unreasonable. Still there's room to start at a hard 90% at about 250 million and then incrementally scale until the tax is say, about 95-97% by about a billion.
Unfortunately you cannot tax anyone 100%; that would ultimately be unfair and demotivating and only motivate corruption to avoid the tax

in reply to chiliedogg • • •Makes perfect sense. It's like having $999,999,999.99 in a management game.
It doesn't go above that, but if you buy a ton of assets and set them down, it'll probably climb right back up there to the limit again at some point.
You still have a billion bucks to do whatever with.
Although yeah, businesses routinely buy things for billions (like acquiring Minecraft? Hah) So they'd find some clever way of putting it all in some kind of "company trust" or something, so they don't have it as an individual.
But I'm no lawyer. I still think having it on the books would be better than not, if it went to healthcare and education instead of funneling into the defense industry, that is...

in reply to MonkeMischief • • •That's fine, as long as there's legal stipulations as to how that money can be spent, similar to campaign finance laws. That kind of money should go back into the company to the benefit of both the workers (via continued employment and fair compensation) and the consumers that support the company (via the quality of the company's product). It should not go to any individual executive to pocket and walk away with.

in reply to whotookkarl • • •I'd recommend a longer full time week. If the full time week is too short, many people well rely on overtime for their salary. This completely destroys the benefits of some of your other points, since you can't do overtime during vacations, parental leave, sick leave, etc.
Overtime should not be the norm if you want a good social/financial security.
Edit: part time job should of course always be possible if your revenue allows you to work shorter weeks

in reply to whotookkarl • • •Remember when the railroad threatened to strike and nacy pelosi said they would throw them in jail if they didn't go to work.....fucking unreal.
A few take aways:
They need us so fucking bad
They will do anything to maintain control
No one at that level is fighting for you
Solidarity will be hard to achieve because those threats will be too much for people on the ropes in their day to day life to endure.

in reply to DogWater • • •, detailing how the inability/refusal to strike has resulted in an exodus/early retirement of train engineers sufficient to knee-cap the industry already. Increased incidence of train derailments, higher rates of rail jams and mechanical failures, and generally slower delivery times are all the result of the decline in experienced and knowledgeable industry workers.
None of this matters to the train management, which has reaped an enormous windfall in profits at the steady marginal decline in network efficiency. Monopoly means you either pay the cartel for degraded service or you ship using a more expensive method.

Its important to recognize modern capitalist control as a form of hostage taking. "Pay us the ransom or your critical infrastructure get its", even as we're receiving fingers and earlobes in the mail with every passing year.
Solidarity is about liberating these critical components of infrastructure and operating them for the benefit of the public. The goal isn't to shut down these institutions, but to run them without profiteers leeching the excess revenue. That's why some of the most effective popular economic protests don't involve suspending services, but operating them while refusing to collect fees for service.

in reply to UnderpantsWeevil • • •This is so fuckin true.
BINGO if we have the power to protest effectively then we can actually make them hurt. Right now I feel like we don't have that power at all. Just citing my example of the railroads, they stepped in quick and made sure the goods kept moving.
Absolutely.

Absolutely.
This is interesting to me I always understood keeping services running for the sake of not harming innocent citizens But I didn't really think it was effective. I could see a public transport rail system doing that and it working, but how do workers in other industries prevent the corporation they work for from taking in the revenue

in reply to DogWater • • •Keep doing what you're doing without operating the cash register, whether that's serving meals or fixing cars or whatever.
For some stuff this won't work (entertainment, for instance, needs a full work stoppage to compel capital concessions). But if you're working to rule at a point of critical infrastructure, the only thing that really needs to stop is the financial side of the business.
