Yeah for sure they both have their pros and cons, I've used both extensively. This just happens to be something that would particularly fucking infuriate me and I'm glad I don't have to deal with it on my daily driver.

Sorta feels like someone kicking the door into your house and tacking up billboards on your walls or something.

To each their own. I don't care for the bulk of RAID setups or the transfer and seek time of individual spinning disks.

Say what you will about Apple but I don't have to put up with this insane shit at least on their computers. I really wonder how long they hold out on this stuff.

Lol my regional instance has some interesting upcoming events...

Given all the really well understood externalities of homelessness, I'd say so.

Samsung is selling some somewhat affordable 8TB drives but I feel like that's kind of an odd spot for size where it'll hold a lot of stuff, but when you get to that level of kinda semi-deranged collector mentality file hoarding, you're gonna blow past 8 pretty easily. I'm hoping it'll actually happen in a few years.

I have not seen a consumer SSD of 10 or more TB for sale anywhere and absolutely not 20. So the answer is, I have no idea.

Samsung has started selling 8TB drives for around 500-600 which is really not that bad, but I'm just gonna wait a couple years for larger capacities to hit the market and skip 8. It's in my opinion kind of a middling size if you're archiving a lot of video.

For now I'll just stick with the high capacity HDD setup I'm using.

You can't really even find a 10+ TB SSD easily right now let alone anything approaching 20, so it's a moot point for now anyway. All that pricing stuff is cyclical though. There was a big spike in SSD prices a couple years ago prior to that huge price drop we just saw. It'll come back down again eventually.

We just moved over to a HDD setup recently because I had run out of space on SSD and the amount of space is great, but I forgot how much I hate HDD seek and transfer times and I'm not gonna invest in RAID for now so I guess this is my life.

Might be smart to maybe keep my most active shows on an SSD and the rest of the catalog on the HDD.

Honestly my biggest thing is for affordable 10 or even 20 TB SSDs to hit the market.

I had a post of mine flagged for multiple days on there because it had an illustration of a woman in a full length wool coat completely covering her and not in any way sexual. Shit is so stupid

Pretty interesting. I'm gonna take a wild guess that most of the low level (green) jamming is just plain old electromagnetic interference?

Really curious to know what's going on over Poland. Found this article talking about it. Seems to think Russia is responsible which I suppose isn't a surprise.

Yeah this is just childish bullshit journalism. Orban is for sure a piece of shit but like… who wrote this trash?

That’s how you know everything’s going great

It sounds annoying as fuck. I hate when my friends send audio messages in messaging apps.

Funny thing is that the mainstream threads audience would probably do more harm to the mastodon ecosystem by orders of magnitude.

There is a big cultural disconnect. I’m active in both and they are very different communities by and large.

Absolutely spot on teardown of this joke article.

They really have just given up on being a good search engine at this point huh?

Appreciate the insight, thanks

The Russian monarchy ended about 39 years prior to the Hungarian Revolution in '56. The whole Russian Revolution thing and the murdering of the Romanovs and all that.
