Eh, goes both ways. Post Danmark was actually quite decent before the merger.

Post Danmark actually wasn’t that bad. It was a bit old school, but the prices were decent and the service was high quality. A year after the merger and absolutely everything was shit.

In Denmark Postnord (which is what OP is using) has drop boxes that you open with the app itself through Bluetooth. Almost everything about Postnord is terrible but getting your parcels delivered to your local Lidl and being able to open the parcel box with the app is pretty neat.

I usually keep the torrent file around for this purpose. It might be a bit cumbersome to find the source for 20 TB of media but it might help you the next time. Generally if you don’t store the hash then you can’t check if the file is good.

XcQ, link stays blue

No Tubular is just NewPipe with Sponsorblock. The original devs didn’t want to add that, so a fork was created to add it.

Nextcloud won’t be able to recognise new files if you do it that way. A full scan will be needed before they’ll show up in the web app.

Interesting. I wonder if that means they’re looking into supporting Jellyfin and/or Emby

Only lunatics buy drives over 10 TB.

Hey! No need to call us out like that.

I got one shipped to Denmark after brexit and IIRC they handled all the customs and everything.

Ninja edit: It looks like you’ll pay taxes and customs fees on top of it if you order directly, so it might be a good idea to hunt for a reseller: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/european-orders/96161/2 - apparently I was lucky and happened to order when they were trialling IOSS

The closest I can think of is a Vero from osmc.tv but that’s breaking the 100 mark.

I’ve got the old Vero 4K model and it works like a dream in conjunction with my Jellyfin server (it’s essentially a Kodi box so you can save media on it locally too).

The Danish word “effektiv” I believe carries the meaning “not amateurishly put together” so it might be more of a grey zone leaning into illegal still. Some might after all still call a vaccine effective if it “only” prevents 95% of infections against a certain virus and has a 2% risk of certain moderate side effects.

But interesting tid bit as it’s also relevant in a Danish context. I didn’t know about it.

Law regarding fees on drives and the like: https://www.copydan-kulturplus.dk/presse/pressemeddelser/lovaendring-om-kompensation-for-privatkopiering-er-vedtaget-nye-medier-er-omfattet

The law regarding circumvention of copyright measures is part of the copyright law, more specifically §75c stk. 1 & stk. 4:

§75 c - It is not permitted to circumvent effective technological measures without the consent of the rightholder.

[…]

(4). Effective technological measures in subsections (1) and (2) shall mean any kind of effective technological measures which, in the normal course of their operation, are intended to protect works and other subject matter, etc. protected under this Act.

Stk. 2 also creates some draconian rules that basically prohibits you from creating tools that help others circumvent copyright protection.

In Denmark it is lawful copies of a media. Problem is that almost all media is copyright protected and it is illegal to circumvent that. So essentially it is a free tax for the organization that represents the artists without any checks and balances to make sure those money actually get distributed to the artists afterwards.

But it is “added” to the video! /s

dba.dk is a pretty popular site for buying used stuff in Denmark, but for electronics I usually go on eBay and sort by EU only (IIRC they removed that option so now the results are tainted with lots of UK gear that’ll be hit with import taxes).

The equivalent would be that you pay a million for a Lambo which is just an indefinite license they can revoke at any time. Renting isn’t comparable at all.

Aither is a good choice these days too. It may be harder to join without an invite right now, but the quality is worth it.

There is though reasons to stray from certain consumer products for server equipment.
