I've got a bunch of DVD's (at least hundred of them) of varying age. What format and software would you recommend to convert them into so I can get rid of the physical medium? Criteria for the choice should be durability (I'd like to be able to access them in, say, 20 years with or without conversion) and pricing of the tool to be used. Open source preferred but not required. As storage medium I will use hard drives (with a redundant copy).

Paying with my personal data? No way. I donate when I can.

I am a bit surprised to see this setting in Firefox Mobile. What the heck are they forwarding to their marketing partner? Why was this turned on by default? Is this even GDPR compliant? Which version has introduced this nonsense?

If you have any financial reserve (at least 4 months), you should consider to quit. If not you don't have any real choice. I doubt the state will foresee in your needs.

Very often you can't even reach villages just a few kilometers away from a city unless you have your own car. You can imagine all the social injustice this creates...

@gsantner
I know it... I came from Hungary which has quite decent public transportation and landed a job in Romania where inter-city public transportation is as good as non-existent. You have those private cars of around 16 ppl each, but that's nowhere comparable with that of Western European countries. It's uncomfortable at best and unreliable to non-existent in the worst case.
