Recently watched this and was pleasantly surprised that it didn't overstay its welcome, but I also found the pace sort of transfixing. The pace was neither overwhelming nor felt overly rushed, it simply felt...Right.

So I guess another way to put it might be, what other movies are well-paced and not too long?

I block ads as much as possible, which is great for ensuring I see mostly what I want to see via searching or whatever feeds I follow, but it turns out a lot of my feeds are light on general media coverage like books/movies/music/etc.

For those that also heavily block ads and curate their feeds, what do you follow or use for keeping up with new books/movies/music/games/etc.?

With things shifting around the internet the past year, and also just...Having been on the internet for awhile now, I feel like this saying, while decent as a cautionary measure...May not really hold up past that. Am I being a little naive though?

Is some decade(s) old post of mine from some old forum really still floating around somewhere out there on some random old server chugging along?

I feel like even in the corporate web, a bunch of that old data's probably been long lost courtesy of costcutting measures and businesses going under.

Portable as in software you can download and toss on a flash/thumb drive and use on other PCs.

So, I'm aware of Syncthing for much of the media, which may help after getting things migrated, but I'm wondering if there may be something more like Clonezilla (or the like) for smartphones to more easily copy over apps & media in bulk.

I also know that the Play Store keeps track of installed apps and I can go through it to individually reinstall each one, but I imagine there must be a much better way.

This has been in the back of my mind lately as I think about bouncing between OSes. Typically various Linux distros seem to be able to recognize just about any filesystem, but the same definitely can't be said of Windows, and I suspect MacOS as well.

I'm mainly thinking about whatever would allow you to plug a drive into a computer or smartphone (more of an edge case here tbh, but it'd be a nice bonus) and it be recognized without issue.

I think from what I've read that this is the case, but I've read some other info that's made it less clear to me.

On the second part of the question regarding container engines, I'm pretty sure that may also be correct, and it kinda makes me wonder a little about risks of engine lock-in, but that may be a little out of scope.

Sources as in sites, blogs, people, columns, etc.

Also by indie or small I mean not with a massive budget nor working with major publishers, insofar as is possible with movies today.

What do you think would be a more compelling sight to behold from the scale of an ant?

Say as a sort of intro/starter to help them figure out if the genre's to their tastes or not.
