Low key weekend. - mopped floors - cooked - moved Docker containers around - saw the new Spider-Man movie - spent a couple of hours doing yard work - dishes - laundry - learned that each input on my tv has its own profile configs. Didn’t touch any of my project cars.

So...at Rasputin I picked up BluRays for the entire Christopher Noal Batman trilogy for like, $12 Star Trek TMP through Voyage home for $12 League of Extraordinary Gentlemen for $2 Silent Mobious DVD set for $8 Argo for $4. Now to rip 'em and transcode to HEVC.

Me: Hm...I should leave 1U between the servers in my home Homelab for thermal reasons. But that seems awfully wasteful of space. Also Me: But...What if I put BluRay/DVD-RW dive that was hacked to rip UHD discs in one of those air-gap with a front-facing USB-C keystone connector?

My 12U 10" HomeLab rack with portable BluRay/DVD drive mounted in a custom 3D printed shelf. The drive is plugged into the server above it and the drive tray is open revealing a DVD of Gundam F91.
