Quick Answer
Based on the available information, the “slipping on a banana peel” gag has been a staple of comedy films since the early 20th century. The first known appearance of this gag on the big screen was in the Charlie Chaplin movie “By the Sea”, where Chaplin’s character “The Tramp” tosses a banana peel on the ground and then slips on it later. [1][2]
The banana peel gag was soon adopted by other silent film stars like Buster Keaton, who featured it in his 1928 film “The Cameraman”. [3] The gag continued to be used in comedy films throughout the 20th century, including in the 1926 Harold Lloyd film “For Heaven’s Sake”. [4]
However, the available information does not mention any specific 1980s comedy movies that featured the banana peel gag. The gag seems to have been more prevalent in the silent film era and earlier decades of the 20th century. [1][5]

I personally find it much better than DDG, and only a slight improvement over Brave. DDG’s reliance on Bing leaves me !banging my way out almost half the time.
Yeah, for me, I’m looking for prettier not fastest after 120 Hz or so
Seeing how some very particular relatives are, I wonder if much of the gas leaf blower crowd is less “watch me stick it to the libs” and more “look at me, I’m cleaning my yard, that makes me better than you”
This somehow makes me less trusting of the previous comment.
But lets be honest, even Duck Duck Go is better than Google these days.
I hate to say it, because I love their privacy policy, but it we’re being honest, it’s not. DDG mostly uses Bing, and I struggle to find what I’m after on that engine. I have better results with Brave search, who now run their own index (but their tech bro CEO leaves me nervous at every turn)
Great insight, really contributing to the community

Even the article about how Google’s tracking is bad is loaded with Google trackers.
Look, I definitely get it, but just a note, encoding 100+ 4k HEVC movies is going to take months of time at full PC loads. It’s a subtle cost, but depending on your electricity rate, running a 200W PC 24/7 for 3 months straight may hurt your bottom line more than it helps.
If you already have the storage, the cheapest option may be just to keep it. If you’re looking to increase the size of your collection it may be about even to save 6 TB via encode and to buy an extra 6TB disc, depending on your setup
You’re about to embark on a massive journey and I wish you the best of luck :D
Compressing 110 4K movies is going to be a long encode time, but it will be so nice to digitize that collection.
First question: if you already have them ripped and stored, do you even need to re-encode them? If you have a powerful enough Jellyfin server for transcoding, that may be enough.
That said, if you’re looking to optimize for space and quality, there’s some questions to ask:
proprietary (but ubiquitous) HEVC or the emerging open standard AV1? It’s going to be a lot easier finding tips/guides for HEVC.
Constant Rate Factor (CRF), or Average Bit Rate (ABR). CRF tends to be more straightforward if you have a varied collection of content because it let’s the encoder choose settings to deliver consistent quality. 2-pass average bit rate is good if you have a target size or compatibility in mind - great for squeezing out the absolute optimal quality if you’re trying to fit on a Blu-Ray disc or meet certain streaming criteria, but 2x the encode time (hence “2-pass”) can be a tough sell.
Stick with software encoding, steer clear of hardware solutions like NVENC. They’re crazy fast, but inconsistent quality.
There’s some guides out there on converting DV to HDR 10+ etc, but I don’t have a lot of experience with that process.

I think, regardless of where you’re donating from, this means less overhead and your money goes a little bit farther on the charity’s side, which is a win for everyone.
You’re right though that it’s not tax deductible for you, so the amount you can donate does not change, just the effectiveness of those dollars.
why are they ‘going away from being a 501c3?
You’ve got it backwards. They’re dissolving their old non-501©(3) Foundation that they use to manage their finances currently, and becoming a part of an existing 501©(3) called Software in the Public Interest (SPI)
TL;DR from the article, they’re doing this to:
Resilio runs a “relay” server to facilitate connections where neither peer has properly set up port forwarding. Only downside of Resilio is its not open source, so you just kinda have to take their privacy policy at face value. As long as op isn’t sending something super sensitive though, it probably is no big deal.
