  2. Opening a CD or DVD box. Sliding it into the player. Pressing play.

    That simple ritual reminds us of something we're losing: the feeling of truly owning what we consume. Not renting access, not relying on servers, just you and your collection.

  3. I have a bunch of DVDs and I'd like to rip them to a hard drive, connect it to my TV and watch them without using a DVD player. Any of you have tutorials, suggestions, warnings, etc.? #television #physicalmedia #dvds

  8. ENTERING THE NEXT CHAPTER : HAMLEY’S SECONDHAND BOOKSTORE OPENS IN CAMBRIDGE

    In Nov. 2025, Jamie Hamley and his wife Sheri opened Hamley’s Second Chapter at 132 Main St. in Cambridge.  

    Jamie, a resident of Waterloo, spent 15 years of his life overseeing operations at Petro Canada gas stations within the city. But his love for literature started early. Growing up in Owen Sound, Jamie spent his after-school hours immersed in local used bookstores, hunting for western novels by Louis L’Amour.   

    His passion for reading and books inspired his goal of opening a second-hand bookstore, especially when he discovered there were none in Galt.  

    “My employment at Petro-Canada moved to 3 days a week, so I was looking for an add-on opportunity,” Jamie said. “I have always been a used bookstore customer and an avid reader, so the choice was easy for me.”  

    The couple collected books for their inventory at a four-day used book sale in Guelph that had 80,000 books available; out of these, they purchased 4,000.  

    They continued their efforts by purchasing more books through online platforms such as Facebook Marketplace and Kijiji, as well as from individual residents.  

    “We have an open concept in the store,” Sheri said. “We don’t want to be overstocked and cramped. We like to offer open space for the customers to look around.”  

    To further support the neighbourhood, the couple has dedicated a table at the front of the shop to showcase local authors.  

    Aside from books, the store also offers second-hand puzzles, Funko Pops and DVDs. Jamie said they plan to sell games in the future, but since his stock has grown so quickly, he decided to stop buying merchandise for his store in January, to focus on organization.  

    “It’s important to recycle products to a second or even tenth user,” Jamie said. “Everybody is a reader—some people just haven’t found the right book yet. Maybe they can find it here.”  

    “We are just starting to see what the community wants,” Sheri said. “We have expanded our non-fiction section to try to meet our customers’ needs.”  

    Although having space for their store was a big dream come true, Sheri explained that finding a rental space that suited their needs was a challenge.   

    “I have always wanted a physical store,” said Jamie. “Customers want to have the book in their hands, and you never know what you will find when you search the shelves.”  

    With a three-year lease in place, the couple hopes that the store will become their full-time focus. Jamie sees it as the perfect “second chapter” and a meaningful project for him and Sheri to share throughout their retirement.

  9. I went for a short bike ride around the neighbourhood this afternoon, going through a few foresty areas on the way.

    At one point I stopped to look around a second hand shop and spotted lots of identical DVDs, but also found a copy of the old 80s BBC series "Edge of Darkness", which has to be worth another viewing.

    Oh, and DVDs from second hand shops are absolutely the best way to consume movies and old TV series, completely without enriching revolting billionaires like those who run services like #netflix .

  11. Babette’s Feast (1987) – IMDb

    Flawlessly directed, written, performed, and filmed, this quiet and unpretentious Danish film is an example of cinema at its best, and if a person exists who can watch BABETTE’S FEAST without being touched at a very fundamental level…

  12. #MP3 #CDs are the best #compactdiscs ​:alice_wine:​

    They're like the 100-in-1
    #pirated Game Boy cartridges of #music ​:sagume_think:​

    This is the shit I am
    #nostalgic about ​:akyuu_headphones:​

    I'm kinda surprised they still exist here in the
    #Philippines, but if there are pirated #DVDs and #Bluray being sold in the black market, why not MP3 CDs as well? ​:satrithink:​

  13. In the #streaming age, most #films are never shown in movie theaters. Despite this fact, we recently saw the claim that "90 percent of all #pirated films are illegally recorded in #theaters". This #mythical statistic, which is clearly incorrect today, first appeared online roughly two decades ago when #counterfeit #DVDs were still in fashion.
