@mastodonmigration @aram it is hard due to value-removing rentseekers (MPEG LA), and the Contentmafia (DRM!) being assholes.

You'd be easier-off ripping all the content you want with an HDMI-Recorder and getting like a cheap Stick-PC, put KODI (nee xbmc) on it and just have a NAS (or USB-HDD) connected to it.

Btw.
What I've learned from this #amzn #original:
* we are all connected by #money
* #innovators care for customers
* a #rentseeker does care for himself
* settled #business (at retirement age) manipulates rules to protect against #competition
* "we are smarter than all of us"

@quincy EXACTLY!

#ClownFlare is at best a #ValueRemoving #RentSeeker and most likely a #ProtectionRacket on the Internet.

The whole #BusinessModel of #CloudFlare should not exist to begin with!!!

@fosserytech But speaking of insulting #TechIlliteracy of agencies: These folks here want to sell "high-security communications" to #Germany's federal government yet their #ComSec is f**ked as they use #Microsoft #Windows, #Exchange and #Zoom. https://www.xecuro.de/en/solutions I sincerely hope that @[email protected] will never certify #xecuro's products, because their #ITsec is nonexistant and claims of "added security on top of Zoom" are just insulting my intellect as a former applicant who denied an offer...
