No, I wont name the specific title. I don’t want to break Rule 3. But I do want to understand why a movie or show can be so hard to find, because maybe that will lead me to understanding how to find things.

I am surprised how hard it is to find some titles. Maybe it’s because the one I’m thinking of is an old title, 60s or 70s era. But it’s extremely popular, even today. It’s been on hopping around streaming services. One would think it would be readily available on the high seas too. I don’t really know how one creates a torrent but I’m assuming anything that can be streamed can be captured. I guess maybe it’s just not as popular as I think?

For a moment I think this was a Linux community talking about X.Org.

On RedHat-provided Life Support, yes, but dead, not yet. Only when Redhat ends support for RHEL 9, and thus, for X.Org.

Wayland is still horrible on nVidia cards

So, not as dead as you think. Also many apps still run through xwayland

X is still the only choice for certain roles. Wayland is missing absolute window positioning (required for certain multi-window apps), color management, and drawing tablet support is spotty. Some apps will never be ported to Wayland.

X is bloated, old, obsolete, impossible to maintain, and immortal.

Maybe it’s not as popular as you think, or wasn’t released on easily ripped mediums and no one has yet put in the effort.

It’s almost like a gspot. We just assume it’s a myth.

A lot of older movies are available for free on ad based second tier streaming services. I would think that makes them much lower of a priority for a lot of people. No one’s going to keep a torrent going in the background 24 hours a day for a movie from 1968 that two people a year actually come looking for

Might I introduce you to the Data Hoarder community? Those unsung heroes who keep humanity afloat and ask for nothing in return?
