glassware was usually significantly above comparable eBay listings (despite the labels sometimes claiming otherwise)

They have stickers which tell you they’re cheaper than eBay when that’s actually not the case? Isn’t that illegal?

I really really liked Limewire and Shareaza. That coupled with collection search would be awesome.

For me a single 2TB 2.5 inch external HDD in a shockproof case and a 1TB SSD contain all of my most important data (mostly scanned documents and personal media like photos, phone backups and letters). I have a Syncthing folder which syncs to my phone and is mirrored to the SSD once a week, while the HDD is used as a restic target. I don’t want to lug around 3kg of disks when my house is on fire, war breaks out or an axe murderer chases me.

eh, i didnt mention any offline hardware

Sorry if my comment came over as criticising your approach, I just wanted to add that information if someone wanted to use it. What I wanted to say is: if you have a NAS, you need to have reliable cold storage which is not SSDs.

12 drives in the go bag seems a bit much, as I don’t think the weight to usefulness ratio would be great if you really needed to leave the house in an emergency.

Contrary to what people suggested, I would advise against optical discs or tapes and would go with HDDs you check every few months. They don’t rot like optical media, the only thing you have to worry about are the motor spindles getting stuck and other mechanical failures.

It will also be the cheapest option. With tapes you need expensive drives and they change the version every few years. Tapes only are better if you store hundreds or thousands of TiB of data.

Which data so you want to save? Mostly games and media? If so, consider giving them to your friends and family to copy and enjoy, which some people call a ‘friend backup’.

SSDs need to be powered periodically to not lose bits to the cells losing trapped electrons. For offline storage HDDs are a better option.

Always burn data at lower speeds too, less errors.

Doesn’t help the fact that the discs degrade over time.

For instance I hunt criminals… Way more useful to society than watching Disney plus

You’re so hardcore. I wish I was like you. /s

No, you don’t hunt criminals. You pretend to do it, on some random social media network called lemmy.

I myself also don’t like Marvel, most of Star Wars and the other stuff Disney is pumping out. But what I like even less are people on the internet pretending that they are worth more than others because they watched some crime footage on YouTube.

Why don’t you get back to topic, which incidentally is Jellyfin and not the content on Disney+? Do you really have nothing of worth to add?

That’s OK. Bleep bloop.

Syncthing for synchronisation and any of https://github.com/meichthys/foss_photo_libraries for the gallery.

not at all. the problem with this video is that the guy has literally no clue what he’s talking about.

Since you seem to have the most knowledge about that topic, why don’t you explain where he’s wrong instead of repeating yourself?

I’m all for sharing knowledge and educating people. Repeating that other people don’t have a clue about something, while not demonstrating you yourself have a clue about it, is just wasting everyone’s time.

cant get past about half a gig a second

Bruh back in my days we were happy if Usenet and Torrents went to half a Meg a second!

If they would only follow crimes where people actually get hurt with the same passion as when wallets of corporations are hurt.

Why an SSD? Multiple users at once and seek times?

Nice, sounds like you learned some valuable skills. Try to sell them to get the time and money back!

Needs a few line breaks and the amount of money is way off, as you didn’t include costs of electricity and setting it all up.

Still, nice setup :)

Yeah, the anti-gay and anti-trans commentary really made me repulse.

Clueless person dishing out a condescending ‘no brother thats not how it works’, comedy gold 😃

America’s Army 2.5.0 with https://aao25.com/.

But since Insurgency Sandstorm got released, I mostly play that one.
