History has taught us restricting access to knowledge never goes well. It will piss some people off, sure. Enough to make a difference? Can't say, most people are indifferent. As long as they get AN answer, that's all they care about. Not necessarily the correct one.

Fines I would assume. Lawsuits even.

Yes, but that kinda defeats the point of an open knowledge library for all. This is a problem that should be fixed with legislation and not artificial blocking. We shouldn't punish the unfortunate for being stuck with the stupid.

Passion of the Kraut.

It is a play off the title. It sounds like the team rocket motto.

James: To unite all peoples within our nation! Jessie: To denounce the evils of truth and love! James: To extend our reach to the stars above! Jessie: Jessie! James: James! Jessie: Team Rocket blasts off at the speed of light! James: Surrender now or prepare to fight! Meowth: Meowth! That's right!

I have been waiting for the results of project silica for awhile. The fact there are potential alternatives is very exciting to hear. The hoard is not getting any smaller.

You clearly have never met a data hoarder before then. Some people just store things for the heck of it and if it happens to be relevant years down the line, they have you covered.

Every console and handheld from N64 backwards is about 62.67 gigabytes. So definitely. If we add PlayStation 1, it jumps to 643 GB. So still possible, just more expensive.

From what I understand, there is an option to run transcoding servers standalone. So a single gen 5 pcie motherboard could run two alveo ma35d encoder cards and plow through a ton of encodes simultaneously. It wouldn't be cheap of course, but in terms of running a media server hosting video, it is not impossible. This is the kind of thing in which groups of people working together would be more financially viable than separate.

I had to cancel my gym membership because my laziness took over, let's be honest. I called expecting a huge battle and prepared for a trek. I said "Hi, my name is Bread. I would like to cancel my gym membership." They said okay and immediately hung up. No new bill the next month.

A bit rude, but I won't argue with results. Straight to the point.

I am not saying that potential trauma was worth it for his wife, but there is a silver lining for just about everything.

I refuse to play that game knowing that I have an addictive personality and an unhealthy obsession with maximizing efficiency. It just doesn't seem like a good idea to give a person with my type of personality the equivalent of heroin.

I have a few questions as you appear to be part of the archive or at least very familiar with it.

Roughly how often are the archives updated?

Do you guys already have a proper backup method or are your seeds acting as that backup?

Any idea realistically how much bigger the archive can get data wise in the next few years? Estimates or educated guesses are fine. I want to know how much I need to plan in advance.

If I take the whole archive, must I deploy it or can it be searched through if I have the whole thing and I want something specific out of it?

I have a spare 100 or so Terabytes and I can fit roughly another quarter petabyte in my server. I would like to help. I will look more into this potentially tomorrow when I have some free time. The preservation of knowledge is too important.

Kobo ereaders work just as well and you can bring your own books.

You forgot step 2 part 1 and step 2 part 2.

Those are words of endearment! Hang Mike Pence means you want to hang out with him and absolutely nothing else.

They literally built a gallows. Yet somehow say it was peaceful.

Perhaps google will make one at some point too. They already have the big version.

The irony that we have to go to google for a privacy focused phone with graphene os is not lost on me. It still is strange.
