im runnin 3 sets of 6x4TB. cheap.

i wouldnt use apple products if they paid me, so ya got me there

first, id like to say… fuck plex. friends dont let friends use plex.

that said, im the guy youre talkin about. i have a massive personal video library i push into a front-end that i share with friends and family… even some coworkers.

the fact is, storage is very cheap now… throw in the very mature applications for obtaining/servicing the stuff stored therein it becomes trivial for guys like me to spread the wealth.

data hoarders are people that dont appreciate having to rely on other people for our shit… streaming? only from our own servers. there are lots of us

yep. the capitalists are in full swing now that fascism reigns. everything is for sale, even history

broadcast tv was/is much more regulated than cable due to its nature of utilizing the public airspace

i like how taco bell manages to create ‘new’ items out of the same 6ish ingredients. does that count?

still weirdly relevant

Bb would be ~300$/month for 50tb

reminds me of an old joke ill bastardize…

q. what do you call 1000 ice agents at the bottom of the atlantic ocean? a. a good start!

thousands of years older.

prolly hundreds of thousands… humans were makin jewelry (maybe not with gold) since before they were homosapiens

poopin or not, theres really no getting around eating correctly and a ton of exercise for some people.

id recommend finding a very active hobby you wouldnt see as exercise. i like to roller skate

because reddit actively prevents promotion of the fediverse and its platforms.

if you want to help, convince an entire sub to move their community to the fediverse. we need all the people we can to realize they do not need reddits walled garden.

also, keep in mind lemmy.world is one site of hundreds and only 1 of dozens of platforms that intercommunicate. different platforms offer different features.

im using https://moist.catsweat.com/ which runs the mbin platform. no lemmy involved, but i can see and respond do your post. check out https://fedidb.com/

for example heres my interface hovering your account shows something like karma and includes downvotes;

not so much the variant but the tooling you’ll use…

ie, ive been usin docker+portainer

my fav setup is kodi, emby, minecraft… all the arrs’ running in containers on mint no problem. i suspect any docker compatible variant would work, but mint is groovy.

kinda smells like truenas with its datasets

i have this idea that communities should be created due to some actual pressure… as a solution to a group needing a home away from some general purpose stream… like when star trek memes took over the main memes channels and thus, required that signal be extracted into its own community…

you cant just build a community and hope the content creators will come… they must already need a home.

do you rent or own?

hehehhehe

mahn thats how i ended up in stardew valley

sick off my ass, bored, and not really being a gamer.

i spose…

my anecdote;

ive been runnin drives like this for 30 years. ive literally never had a cold storage drive go bad out of the case… mostly because their hourly use rate is kept so incredibly low. even back in the day of very unreliable drives…

they even retain their data better than modern ssds

3 methods for me…

1. (daily) live nas backup (I have 2 of these mirrored for giggles)
2. (90 days) cold, manual copy of nas data to drive stored in pelican case
3. (live) cheap cloud storage of essential data in backblaze encrypted vault (duplicati)
