Well, source code is not sth that you "crack", you can only reverse engineer it (I think it was done with Doom, also OpenRA) or steal it from the company's servers. The use for it is also rather niche, so the risk vs gains ratio is not attractive enough to feed dedicated websites. You can also look at fully open source games like 0AD and check out what they did!

Edit: I stand corrected (thrice); Doom was indeed open-sourced, not reverse engineered. Thanks for pointing out!

Very nice! I am running an HC4 (I think; the toaster) now since last month and so far, it's running much better than I thought! So yes, check that one first, then see if you have to upgrade and if you do, go for aarch64 or traditional x64 but not 32 bit arm

Alternatively, there are also some options from pine64.com, maybe scroll through there! Same for odroid.nl

Not sure about private trackers but on public ones, I did not see them anywhere. Also chances are not that high since it is old material that never got translated into Englosh or other languages, so quite niche.

Dafuq did I just read? Author has to a) visit a spelling and grammar course, b) structure their fucking thoughts. So the main point is that some guy is on drugs and leaking information? That could have been three sentences.

True but considering the costs, I would rather just buy the movies on DVD and rip them

1080 is totally sufficient, I'll look into this, thanks!

Okay, so OBS looks like the only feasible route then, thanks!

They are from the 90s, so DVD would be my plan B. However, that would take significant effort to hunt down, so I wanted to check other options first

Native tool, not the web. So far, I have not felt the need to use anything else; calibre does decent management and connects to my koreader installations on ebook readers, while the abs app handles all interactions with phones. The latter has good wife-approval but the syncing through calibre to readers is complex and not super reliable, so it still requires "admin intervention"

Yes. Let me give you an example on why it is very nice: I migrated one of my machines at home from an old x86-64 laptop to an arm64 odroid this week. I had a couple of applications running, 8 or 9 of them, all organized in a docker compose file with all persistent storage volumes mapped to plain folders in a directory. All I had to do was stop the compose setup, copy the folder structure, install docker on the new machine and start the compose setup. There was one minor hickup since I forgot that one of the containers was built locally but since all the other software has arm64 images available under the same name, it just worked. Changed the host IP and done.

One of the very nice things is the portability of containers, as well as the reproducibility (within limits) of the applications, since you divide them into stateless parts (the container) and stateful parts (the volumes), definitely give it a go!

I'm currently using Calibre and Audiobookshelf, where the latter is basically just using the folder structure of Calibre with and additional folder for some audiobooks. Works okay but is not the greatest solution. The calibre library web interface is quite nice (not the weird VNC-style admin panel, the one on other port). People also mention lazylibrarian a lot but I never tried it.
