I’ll just leave this here: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/episode/part-one-the-not-at-all-sad-history-of-89890804/

That dude does not look 86.

R7 gang here. Let us keep the dream alive!

Curious what was the model of your drive failure? I have 6 years now on a bunch of 8TB WD Elements/EasyStore drives as well as some 10TB-14TB WD MyBook, Elements, and refurbished WD drives from serverpartdeals in the preceding years. Still no failures yet but I’m expecting one eventually.

I’m currently running mine on Windows and use SnapRAID and DrivePool as my defense against drive failures. I think I have 7 data drives and 2 parity at this point (totalling around 90TB). Beyond that I copy the Snapraid whatchamacallit to a separate backup drive along with my OS drive. This isn’t really a ‘backup’ but in the scenario where I have several failures and no way to restore, I still have radarr/sonarr keeping track of my library and a membership to several private trackers.

I wouldn’t worry too much about losing media files as most can just be downloaded again. I find it more beneficial to make use of all the storage space you can rather than trying to do a 1:1 backup, which gets pretty absurd once you start getting up there in movie/TV count.

Maybe when you put two evil names together, the evil cancels itself out?

Why are literally every single one of your Lemmy comments about oil or green energy? Do you really expect people to believe that you’re being genuine with any of this, especially with this half-assed non-reply to such a lengthy comment?

Except some time ago, we demanded that Ukraine give up their nuclear arsenal and that we’d protect them from Russia if they did.

They already tried that after Russia took Crimea, and then Russia went ahead and invaded the rest of Ukraine anyway.

They’re responding to your own hypothetical about a black man getting arrested in the US…

What about all those pallets that went missing?

Nah domestic manufacturers just build shitty cars that people don’t want, dealerships are tacking on ADM which is driving sales away, and interest rates are the highest they’ve been in decades.

EV sales keep increasing by large amounts YoY which disproves “a lack of desire.”

Really? I had no idea.

Which of these behemoth legacy automakers have been “spurred to dash for cheaper EVs?” Most of the recent headlines have been about these automakers complaining that they aren’t selling enough EVs and are therefore going to reduce their investment in them, which is quite the opposite of what we’re hearing in this article. This article only seems to mention automakers pushing for cheaper supplier costs just like any other business would do.

Well considering about a half dozen Republicans from the previous president’s inner circle were convicted of felonies for working on behalf of foreign governments, is it really that outlandish of a claim to make just a few years later?

What’s beyond idiocy is defending either one of those two positions.

That’s because us regular people aren’t in control of the country. Our leadership is akin to what you see in professional wrestling, you have “the heel” and “the face.” One group pretends to be the bad guys and the other pretends to be the good guys, but they’re really all friends who hang out in the same circles behind the scenes. What they present to the public is all an act.

Yep and we wind up in the exact situation we’re in as a country currently. These people are demanding that you keep the status quo.

“If you don’t vote Republican or Republican-lite, you’re doing the wrong thing!” Jesus what a braindead take.

Your Colonel would be disappointed, Private.
