    but... speaking of miscellaneous computer issues, e.g. video sharing etc.

    OBS Studio (https://obsproject.com/) works great for recording streaming videos; e.g., movies, tv series, etc. saved to mp4 format for viewing on
    other devices by using obs "display capture" to record streaming content
    while displayed full screen in the web browser; e.g., in mozilla firefox uncheck "use recommended performance settings" and uncheck "use hardware acceleration when available"; obs "hide obs windows from screen capture"
    and software video encoding (same as stream, x264), save streaming video
    (this method may not work with some "digital rights management" sources)

    and...

    for this example, the popular newsreader 40tude dialog makes scoring
    on all headers easy, even for the novice; it's plain text and can be
    tested in settings > scoring and actions, and matched help > regular
    expression tester; score numbers can be anything from -9999 to +9999

    [*]
    # for scoring non-overview headers
    =-1000 Header {^X\-No\-Archive: yes}
    =-1001 Header {^X\-Trace: individual}
    # mnemonic "1/1=1", solo, single, one
    =-1559 Header {^X\-Complaints\-To: abuse@tweaknews.nl}
    # mnemonic "hotel des tournelles", pl. vosges
    =-1993 Header {^Injection\-Info: dont\-email}
    # mnemonic "eternal september", never ending
    =-3142 Header {^X\-Complaints\-To: abuse@easynews}
    # mnemonic "3.142...", approx. of pi
    =-5000 Header {^Injection\-Info: nnrp.usenet.blueworld}
    # mnemonic blue, 5th primary color (roygbvm/uv)
    =-9000 Header {^X\-Usenet\-Provider: http://www.giganews}
    # mnemonic 10^9, 1,000,000,000

    etc...

    note: a clean "portable" install of 40tude dialog 2.0.15.41 is the
    best place to begin (do not install to default x86 program folder):

    In order for democracy to function, all information consumed by the public
    has to be officially approved by the government.

    Without total information control, democracy, the perfect system of
    government, collapses.

    People think that just because democracy is perfect it must be strong. But
    no. It is so weak that it can be destroyed by news articles on people's
    phones.

    We cannot lose our democracy. We will lose our child trannies, we will lose
    our windmills, we will lose our open borders, we will lose the war in the Ukraine.

    We have to shut down all information not explicitly approved by the
    government.

    Paganini was born in 1782, so that makes a good mnemonic for scoring
    the popular "paganini.bofh.team" server . . . who is this "paganini"?

    the venerated namesake of this excellent news server (with good article retention) is of course the great virtuoso violinist and composer . . .
    Niccolo Paganini was born to Antonio & Teresa Bocciardo-Paganini at the
    house on 38 Passo di Gattamora (8E56:00,44N24:14), Repubblica di Genova
    Sunday 27 October 1782 (AA/BR). Chiesa San Salvatore (8E55:53,44N24:14).

    simply adding just a few more servers, the scoring list keeps growing...
