Yeah. I’ve got friends that I’ve met through LAN groups. There’s even heaps of people who hang around in the same discord channels as my friends. Every now and then, we’ll find ourselves at the same BBQ and I’ll happily add them after that.
My raid has an nvme bcache on it, so it’s still fairly quick.
$100USD is just what it costs in Australia, because we get screwed for price over here.
I watched “Everything Everywhere All at Once”. But I watched parts of it while doing other things over the space of 2 years.
I honestly watch about 1 or 2 movies per year.
Haha remember when CD burners came out and a $5 CD-R had the capacity of a $200 HDD?
The kid with access to a CD burner was the king of the playground.
It’s $100 for 4TB right now.
But once you factor in RAID and alternating offsite backups, it’s really $400 for 4TB.
I go through all the older stuff I pulled from the internet. A lot of it can’t be found now.
The DRM on Blu-Ray was too harsh so I skipped the format entirely. If I couldn’t put a disc into my HTPC (Linux) and press “play”, I wasn’t interested.
My biggest rule is not on your list:
Also, be sure to apply Richard Stallman’s privacy rules. To summarise, all data that leaves your device is effectively out of your control. Assume all of this data is captured and stored, and will be used against you at some point.
Sweet. This will likely mean extended GrapheneOS support too.
This is the best way. My locker at work has my offsite backup on an encrypted+compressed portable drive. I have two drives that alternate offsite so they are never all in the one spot.
