The Deception of “Buying” Digital Movies
I use this project by Don Melton to get a Blu-ray video down to an 8 - 10 GB file size: https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding
It uses HandBrake, FFmpeg, MKVToolNix, and MP4v2 with some custom tuned settings and has really good results from my experience.

What Are Your Most Used Self Hosted Applications?
I have primarily used Plex and pretty much everything you said is accurate for Plex as well. Limited transcoding based on the machine it is running on. As disc has become cheaper, I have pretty much stopped doing batch transcodes, which is great for the most part. But there are definitely negatives when you want to watch something offline, or remotely. Biggest pain point is subtitles though. Since they aren't ripped as text and then sent to a client, they have to be burned in to the video itself and transcoded on the fly. Which means losing out on 'forced' ones if it can't transcode fast enough.
Plex has definitely started to try and commercialize itself more and offer other stuff, when all I want is access to my own media. So I may look into Jellyfin more soon.
As for batch transcode jobs, I had a system that I was able to set up as essentially a black box. Drop a rip into a folder and out the other side comes a smaller one at a reasonable quality. With forced subs burned right into the actual video. Mostly based on https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding
- I know this is a super specific thing to ask, but would anyone that rips their collection to a Plex server care to share your compression settings?

BluRay Movie File Size Question
I use Don Melton’s tools to transcode videos to mp4 files. His tools makes use of Handbrake but he has it tuned to produce very small video files of very high quality. You are unlikely to notice the difference when watching the videos.

Hit my goal. 100 movies in one year. Done the “old fashioned” way (rip—>encode). Made it with two days to spare. (Plex server built Sept 29, 2020)
Checkout https://github.com/donmelton/video_transcoding. In my experience produces higher quality and smaller files than handbrake alone.

Best Handbrake settings for transcoding
When I was ripping my disc collection, I used Don Melton’s library. Don originally started the Safari and Webkit project at Apple but after he retired, he spent some significant time trying to create an easy way of compressing video but resting quality. Great collection of tools in my opinion that leverage handbrake for encoding. Good luck!

Rplexs Moronic Mondays No Stupid Questions Thread
I've been using Don Melton's Video Transcoding tool for my whole library. I upgraded my NAS to a Synology DS1019+ a few months ago, so now I have the space to store the untranscoded MakeMKV files. I've had issues with playback in my system, so I don't mind manually transcoding.

Ask HN: As a hobbyist developer, what are the odds of getting hired as a pro?
I've created some OSS projects, one of them being Monica [1], an open source CRM which pops up sometimes on HN. The project has more than 20k+ stars and a lot of contributors. I've also created other projects (OfficeLife [2], Bivouac [3]).
However, all these are passion projects, worked on at nights and weekends. My day job is about project management (currently a very senior position) at various big corps.
I would like to switch careers and become a professional full stack developer. I can't choose between backend and frontend since I've done everything on my projects. I only know Laravel, Vue 3, HTMX. I have to deploy my projects myself, maintain them myself, and design everything myself.
I'm not an expert in anything, but I know a bit of everything that is required to ship something that works.
That being said, what are the chances of being hired as a professional developer? Will I be taken seriously?

Show HN: A “CRM” for your personal relationships
I've been using Monica [1] for the personal CRM and it does what it is supposed to do. It's a basic web app and lacks the sophistication moderns apps have, but it hasn't died for 5 years at least. Just FYI.

New version of Monica, codename Chandler, is available in beta
My wife and I tried to use Monica for many months in the past but had to give up because of the incredibly buggy CardDAV implementation when using iOS. Now that this has come out it seems the issue (https://github.com/monicahq/monica/issues/6175) was ignored likely because of all this work.
Have improvements been made with this in the new version?
