Dear Mr. Cunningham, @davidcunningham9
Can you please enlighten us what the future of codeproject will be?
Thank you very much in advance.
Yours sincerely

I only posted this because of a hint/request of an 'insider' - deeply hidden in messages- that this might help

It's a secret, for us to know and you to find out. Bwahahaha!

I know there's tons of utilities to do that, but I've grown to mistrust random software from random sites, so I hesitate to try everything under the sun.
For years now, I've been using some software that shall stay nameless, but suffice it to say they have disappeared a few months back (I just learned), and their trialware needs to get a key from a live site to function, so it's out.
One alternative I've found after a short search is https://www.bluraycopys.com/rip-blu-ray/convert-blu-ray-to-iso/
I know nothing of these guys, but the software seems as straightforward as it needs to be. I want to put in a disc (DVD, Blu-ray, whatever) and rip it to ISO. Just a straight copy. Don't ask me endless questions about how to process this or that, which I wouldn't know how to answer properly. Again, just a 1:1 copy please.
Anyone can vouch for this, or something else? Again, I'm NOT trying to do any sort of conversion to MP4, MKV, using this or that codec, none of that. Just produce a standard ISO that I can mount and play. If the original disc is 50GB, so be it, I want the ISO to be 50GB.
[Edit]
And save me the piracy concerns. These are commercial discs, and I just paid nearly CAD$300 for a 4-disc set with taxes, import and shipping fees. I own these, and I'm not gonna let a scratch ruin them for me.

Complete tangential side note, but why not use Windows Sandbox or a VM for stuff you don't trust?

Pretty sure personal backups are completely allowed for most copyrighted discs. Whether or not a company attempts to prevent that because they want to be the arbiter of copying is another question. But, legally speaking you're good to go.

Oh, to actually answer the question... I've used anyburn before with success. But, it was in Linux. No ransomware popped up yet. YMMV on a Windows box.

I've been using PowerISO for small things occasionally over the years, but just the other day I bought a license so I can make larger ISOs.

and started looking at Smalltalk.
Downloaded the Squeak/Smalltalk[^] IDE and associated docs.
I've heard a lot about Smalltalk in the past but didn't think much of it, but after kicking the tires I am really impressed. The Squeak IDE is very powerful and I think I might try a small project and see how it goes.

I watched a video posted here last week about SmallTalk/Squeak...interesting, but I don't have the time. Good luck!

Anyone else notice the ads have disappeared from CP?

Yes ... it's the lights slowly turning off...

Never mind the ads, management has disappeared.

After a week of pouring over code, and working closely with the authors of two different projects whose source I incorporated into mine, I've finally got my new graphics library running on IoT:
"BengalLovinAss" is the name of a fellow moderator at a site I moderate.[^]
I made a png for her using my lib, and then some smart aleck decided to tell me to put it on a cheap low resolution TFT.
Well I tried. The ESP32 threw a stack tantrum. I massaged the code for another day, and this is the result.
I feel like I just trekked through a mountain range.

I saw that image in some article you've posted elsewhere (well, here on CP) and I thought to myself, I'd love to see this on one of those IoT devices.
And there it is.
To the average person, a picture is a picture is a picture and wouldn't think much of it. I've never done development on those types of devices myself, but I can appreciate the sort of hell I'm sure you had to go through to get this working.
I don't care what anyone says, this is impressive work.

Anyone know of a site where we can at least setup a group and stay in touch - I think it's very inconsiderate of whoever is running the show to leave us in the dark like this. WE ARE FAMILY

Is groups.io anything like what you're thinking of? A couple of mailing lists I was on moved there when yahoo killed groups.

If CP disappears at some point, I'm am hoping that it will be after I've disappeared. 
Though I agree, it would be nice to hear from the new leadership as to the future of CP.
