The Matrix for my group of millenials

Yes. But I can’t write it down or use any words to even attempt to describe it because then it wouldn’t be “100% original” 🙄

All my thoughts are my own.

I really only used it for syncing photos from my phone so I went to Syncthing. The NC web interface I found far too slow to be any use, so I just mount network shares over NFS.

And that is why I no longer run Nextcloud

I aint typing out ‘please’, I will compromise on alias plz='sudo'

13 years for Fear Inoculum to be released.

Kubuntu. It’s solid and similar enough to Windows UI-wise. Everyone should start there and later people can explore other options if they want.

Setup a company who’s job it is to maintain the data. They make money by offering the same services to others, but their main aim is the preservation of this 100TB. Only people passing stringent security checks will know of this special mission. Enemies from the future will be scared away by a sign on the door reading “BEWARE OF THE TIGER”.

They will run massive NetApp arrays and redundant ZFS pools. They will rotate disks out periodically and migrate onto newer technologies as and when. Backups will be taken, verified and tested monthly. Basically it’s Backblaze but running for 100 years.

I would actually vomit, which as we all know, is the true sign of romance.

Mono does mean one, but that’s not the legal definition of a monopoly.

Played a bit of Metro Exodus last night. One of the best games I’ve played in a while, even though the silence of your character is weird.

I do my own sneaking these days. No need to hire someone to do a job you can easily do yourself.

Nowadays I see no reason not to use FLAC. I’ve not ripped anything less than 320 CBR mp3 for almost 20 years.

RAID does not work today with any disks you may have: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l55GfAwa8RI

.The only sane option is ZFS with zRAID1/2.

An HBA with the SAS cables should run to about £50 used.

Sounds like a good plan to me

I’ve switched to restic for my backups and have been very happy with it. Very fast, encrypted and snapshot history.

RAID gives you greater uptime. That is all. You should also have backups. So how much uptime do you need?

I was meaning their switches. I didn’t know they did routers / firewalls. Interesting that they’re not as advanced as their other offerings which are really good. My opnsense setup has taken years to hone and I have no desire to start over with that.
