Presumably CBS/Paramount does have the recordings in a vault somewhere... but it's probably not worth it for them to put them on Paramount+ (Who knows what will happen when they go bankrupt). As it is you're limited to the few episodes individuals bothered to tape, and then digitize.

How did you search archive.org? I see several hits on https://archive.org/search?query=subject%3A%22Craig+Kilborn%22

For example this full episode: https://archive.org/details/kilborn.-0743

A fair number of them are "streaming only" due to them being some sort of agreement between archive.org and CBS.

I also see some on Youtube, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YR1fJIqpVrI

BitTorrent does seem to be completely dead. bt4gprx is a very thorough DHT search, so it will find basically anything on a public server that's actually being seeded, https://bt4gprx.com/search?q=Craig+Kilborn and it has no hits for the Late Late show, (but a few other appearances by Craig Kilborn on other shows.)

I don't think yt-dlp can crack DRM... most sites don't bother using it.

Older Boox's weren't certified for the Play store, so you couldn't run play store apps, but that hasn't been true for a while. You can run pretty much any Android app (though many don't work well on e-ink), and the older Boox's run older Android versions that aren't compatible with many apps in the Play store even if they can connect.

I think you're referring to "koreader" which started life as alternative kobo e-reader firmware, but now has an android port, but it just runs as an android app, that's what I run on my Boox Palma, but if it reboots, I have to relaunch koreader.

I do this, but with keepass (keepass on all devices and then sync with nextcloud). Saved my butt a few times, I can go into the file history and pull an old version of the keepass db out of it, and then keepass has a merge feature, so I can pull the old file out, and merge with current to find missing records.

Anyway... backups good.

worldcat lists the institutions with this book https://search.worldcat.org/title/1048005393, you'll probably have to show up in person. You may be able to do an inter-library loan if your local library doesn't have the book, you could get it from a sister library. However, the only public library that lists having the book is the Austin Public library in Austin, Texas.

I received a notification to use Door Dash yesterday, to order food... while I was cooking soup.

Alison also made a compilation of all the tik-toks of people reacting to the original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TNa-8tFoUxs which I think adds a fair amount of humor (but I'm sure some people will feel this is beeting a dead horse)

No thanks, I think I'll install Linux onto a dead badger

Right, only one side of the connection needs an open port (and most clients will let that be either seed or leech side)... this is why having an open port on your end is useful if you're downloading, since you can download from seeders that don't have an open port.

If you want the instances to sync, you just need to sync the directory. (I currently use nextcloud sync for this, but in the past I used synching and before that btsync)

If they dont try to modify the files at the same time (with sync delay) there won't be any issues. If they do grow out of sync, you can fix pretty easily with db repair.

Something like that is probably technically possible, but you'd need to do a bunch of work.

Plex Plugins can't provide media sources anymore, so you need to do the trick plex_debrid is doing where you add stub sources to the plex server library and serve the files from a virtual filesystem.

You might be able to re-use the plex_debrid code but use youtube-dl instead of rclone
