I like the idea of getting private money out of news. Creating a hard doctrine of "fairness" is just not possible. Sometimes there are not two sides to the truth, and we wouldn't want to pin in the media outlets if the truth demands a firm stance.

Oh no, you mean the big "smart" money investors that manage to crash the economy every decade or so and ruin every business they touch are gonna leave generative AI alone? Oh nooo. How will the science progress without Goldman Sachs's guiding hand?

Good riddance.

Would this work

Yes.

or would I have problems

Also yes.

I used to do this backing up my "servers". By that I mean some Raspberry Pis and random old PCs running Debian. I even did so successfully when needing to restore the images. But it was fragile and also failed at times, sometimes to great inconvenience when it was a machine serving something important.

I've since moved to a different backup strategy for servers, but if I were to do this with a bare-metal machine I want to preserve, I'd use something like Clonezilla. The maintainers of that project know a whole heck of a lot more than I do of the ins and outs of disk management, backup, and restoration than I do with my simple dd commands. If it is something you're just wanting to do for fun and experience, dd can work. If you're concerned with the security of your data/image, I'd use Clonezilla.

It seems that the only purpose these executives have is to siphon money straight up the organization to themselves. Do they provide any use to these studios other than that?

I don't think that Libby itself is. There's DRM and while there is probably a way to strip it, I don't think that is easy and/or publicly shared. But Overdrive, which is Libby's predecessor, allows for DRM free MP3 downloads. But they've been trying to sunset Overdrive for a long time. The Windows desktop program needed to download the MP3 files is no longer linked on their site, for example (but is still downloadable if you know the exact link). I'm honestly not sure why it even still works unless it's to comply with some ancient contract they have with a library somewhere.

Unironically the library. Then just use something like Audiobookshelf to organize your collection.

I'm still salty that we never got a proper sequel to the original Prey.

Nice app, you have there. Would be a shame if something were to happen to it.
