i wasn't innocent at all. my old folder full of ancient dvd ripping and encoding software says otherwise :grin:

holy gently caress it was a stupid pain in the rear end. more of a hobby to see how good of an encode I could jam into a CD than any sort of fruitful piracy :/ that was before any sort of 1-click software that did everything for you.

this is me posting irl
i was rifling through my closet the other day and found the pair of DVD burners that used to be in my previous desktop. like now i don't even have a single internal optical drive (and it's extremely rare that i use my external) but i also distinctly remember days when i was getting utility out of having not one but two at the same time.

i used to record shows with an analog ati tv tuner maybe 15 years ago and it was a constant challenge seeing how good i could get file size and filter noise from the broadcast, then the recording. i think i used a vcr that had a good video out as a prefilter, then had a pile of open source software to record them

i still have a bunch of shows as well as all the filter settings and for a while some of the stuff was the only digital copy i had knew of since dvd collections of shows werent a thing. oh and several folders full of random screencaps that i keep meaning to make a tumblr of like some time capsule of old media

when digital became easy and streaming was common it was a useless hobby but it taught me a lot about compression and that knowledge helped years later for a big thing at work so im kinda glad i tinkered when i had the time

There was this period of time when I had just gotten DSL and upgraded from 56K and was incredibly excited to now have the ability to save every photo on the internet. 14 year old me invested an enormous amount of time into both saving, tagging and categorizing thousands of memes and internet images



What the hell was wrong with me :cripes:
