!remindme 1 year 10 months

I mistyped. It was $330 and it’s a manufacturer recertified drive with a 2 year warranty and was only spinning for 3 hours and spun up 4 times. So I don’t plan on it failing for awhile. I’ll eventually buy more in the future so they can be configured for RAID.

Sorry, check my edit!

I just purchased a 28TB hard drive for $230 $330. It would have taken 5.6 million of these IBM 350 units to equal that.

To put it into perspective, that would be more than 2 football fields in height, width, and depth (725ft³). And buying all of those units would have cost $896 billion in 1956. Adjusted for inflation that’s $10.48 trillion.

Edit: Sorry to get anyone’s hopes up. I mistyped $330 but if you’re wanting to get a mass storage drive at the price I did, I got it from Server Part Deals on eBay. They’re manufacturer recertified so essentially brand new and come with a 2 year warranty. (At least mine did.) My drive had 3 hours of spin time and had been spun up 4 times according to the drive health report. The way they can sell these for so cheap is by buying deprecated spares from massive data centers in bulk and recertifying them to resell.

I mean, yeah, that’s what he was getting at. How 70 years seems like a long time in the context of modern technology despite being very short in the sense of human history.

I think I understand now. Thank you! I will be changing my paths then. It’s kind of a moot point since I’ll change my paths anyway, but for the sake of my own curiosity, i have a follow up question. Feel free to disregard it if you don’t feel like taking the time to answer.

Hypothetically, my docker setup only allows jellyfin to see /mnt/user as /storage. So jellyfin would report the path to Morbius as being:

/storage/hdd1/media/movies/Morbius_all_morbed_up.mkv

when in all actuality it would be:

/mnt/user/hdd1/media/movies/Morbius_all_morbed_up.mkv

My intuition tells me that the file path that jellyfin “sees” would be the security risk. So “/storage/hdd1/…” Is that correct?

Can someone ELI5 this for me? I have a jellyfin docker stack set up through dockstarter and managed through portainer. I also own a domain that uses cloudflare to access my Jellyfin server. Since everything is set up through docker, the containers volumes are globally set to only have access to my media storage. Assuming that my setup is insecure, wouldn’t that just mean that “hackers” would only be able to stream free media from my server?

It was Snowball! He snuck into our group chat under the cover of night and sabotaged our great windmill war plans!

You better not be talking about my Polish-Canadian girlfriend 😤

Oh cry me a river…sorry you’re being inconvenienced. We should have told Ukraine that while we understand that their country is being invaded by a superpower and their citizens are being raped and murdered and their children are being trafficked to Russia; they should put more attention into making sure their drones don’t look too similar to RC hobbyist planes 🙄

That’s because that isn’t a healthy thing to do in the first place. These people are essentially drowning and cutting them out of your life indiscriminately is like speeding away in a boat while you hope they manage to float to an island.

Having a tough conversation with them about your honest concerns is the only way to fix what people have become. It’s okay to tell them that their lack of empathy is making you feel sad/depressed. Don’t just tell them that they’re wrong and need to change their mind. Pick a specific thing they support and tell them what’s making you feel upset and let them ruminate on that. Only they can change their minds, so hopefully they view you as a close enough friend to reconsider their actions or beliefs.

Without converting the download to .pdf there’s no way to know and I don’t know if that’s even possible. The simplest way to download Wikipedia is through Kiwix. The largest download is 109.89GB and is stored in a .zim format so you need to use a specific application like Kiwix to read it, but its free and open source.

You can. You just need the storage space.

Not sure that I’ll be donating every year, but I also donated for the first time in 2024. Every little bit counts and when I can find the extra money, I’ll send it their way. Also, friendly reminder, it’s possible to download the entire contents of Wikipedia with less than 100GB. It’s just 16GB if compressed.

It could, but the democratic party is okay with his performance. They’re not going to bankroll attack ads on their own incumbent senator, so whoever tries to primary him would need to finance their own campaign.

No one runs against him and even if someone were, he’s the incumbent with party backing and all of the name recognition that comes with the decades of doing it.

Okay. Don’t conflate this with me supporting ICE or the fascio-authoritarian state…BUT, lots of wealthy Americans are traveling to Mexico for healthcare because it’s cheaper, faster, and in some cases just flat out better. I hope this is the case for the kid. If it is, she may have hit the lottery when she needed it most. They get a free ticket out of the US, potentially better healthcare, and maybe a shit load of money for the government ignoring her rights.

As opposed to a sex cult that is under control? /s

I’m not going to kill your dream but be careful. Lots of it would probably be covered in hydrazine which is super duper toxic.

Hey, on the bright side she has an opportunity to make a sone money. Either through a potential lawsuit (doubt.) or the smarter option: oil on canvas artwork of her experience in the detention center. Her story is global now and the notoriety may boost the sale price.
