Intellectual property is theft. Is there a WikiLeaks for medicine? WikiMeds perhaps?

Data hoarding is a truly unique experience. Just my two cents

• raid is not a backup. Don’t use raid5 unless you’re using a filesystem like zfs that checksums your data. Raid5 is vulnerable to scenarios with a “write hole” that leads to bit rot.

• split up your dataset into smaller more manageable datasets so you can more easily back it up in different ways like external drives, cloud storage, etc. You can then limit the dataset size to never exceed the same of your backup target.

• snapshots, use them. Snapshots in your filesystem can make your backups more manageable by only sending the differential data as opposed to something like Rsync which may need to rsync an entire file.

I use ZFS and have found that compression with ZSTD works pretty well for getting extra use out of your disks but unless you have a lot of RAM and some special metadata NVME disks, don’t use reduplication as it will be a serious performance impact.

Now if you aren’t using a FOSS system like truenas and instead you’re using a system like a qnap off the shelf, the qnap hybrid backup and sync manager has a really elegant solution for doing policy based differential backups to back blaze b2 storage. Not only does this give you a copy of your data, you also get immutable points in time archives of your data.

Good luck in your data hoarding endeavors!

Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I’m thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I’ve tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it’s not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.

The only downsides are :

1. passing certain peripherals through RDP fails on Linux from my experience (for example, USB DAC, Xbox 360 USB controller). Your mileage may vary.
2. absolute mouse position doesn’t work over RDP so don’t try this with any games that need a mouse for camera control (fps) it simply won’t work. If you want to game, lookingglass would probably be better for that but I haven’t tested that yet.

Is there an alternative way to register a domain that cannot be seized? It seems like domain seizure is the one thing that enables internet censorship. Is there some sort of block chain base registrars out there? I’m genuinely curious.

Please reiterate your statement but instead using the “goose chase meme” format.

Depends on the usage. That’s the gamble you take. I would maybe buy three and put two in a mirror and keep the third one as a replacement?

That’s 240$ for three drives without warranty though… Nevermind I’d prefer to buy two new Toshiba X300 new for 210$ a piece and forget the headache and get the warranty.

Sometimes you get what you pay for … Sometimes

No bueno

I wonder if this age of consolidated net access if Google, Facebook,Twitter will be for or against this.

Time to invest in some foreign VPNs.

Are there alternative firmwares available for shield?

I remember this article because I saw vlog brothers episode about it.

Tldr they changed the fuel for boats to be cleaner resulting in less cloud cover significantly allowing the oceans to heat up faster than ever before.

Oh my … That’s awful. I’m just discovering this myself. Even IGN put out an article https://www.ign.com/articles/near-bsnes-remembrance

I think about this a lot and it really does depend on your needs.

Home lab vs home server. I like to keep them separate just because I consider my lab unstable and my home server stable. You don’t have to do it this way it’s just the way I like it.

https://a.co/d/6k6QpOD If you want to build a low power NAS I suggest investing in an Intel n100 based itx Nas motherboard. You can then use a case like this from Jonsbo https://a.co/d/1ayqwJV. This could be a nice cool and quiet solution. If you want to do video transcoding, the n100 has quicksync on board and with something like Truenas it’s pretty easy to set up via the app catalog (check out truecharts).

If you want something even more simple (good for home users or like a backup target you keep elsewhere) I’ve been meaning to grab one of these “Topton 2-Bay NAS R1 PRO 12th Gen Intel N100 Network Attached Storage Media Server” from AliExpress for just this case.

As for a Lab, I suggest finding a W680 chipset based motherboard like an ASRock IMB-X1314 LGA 1700 Intel W680. You can get a cpu like a 12400 or 12500T (lower power and less heat) used cheap and you have the option to upgrade and use ecc memory without a XEON. You also have a lot more pci express connectivity.

What ever you do choose, anything pre 12th gen Intel is basically ewaste (those 11th gen mobile erying I9 engineering samples are very good but less reliable than desired). Do not invest in any old x99 based gear (unless you get it for free). I have an old dual XEON system that is still running and it uses power like a small fridge.

I don’t need to imagine it. I own the game and it looks like crap compared to it running on yuzu on PC. 4K 60fps is the way. Can’t go back.

In an effort to extend his life, I can’t wait for Bezos to splice nuclear wolf DNA and then get in front of a camera with a wet nose, fangs, and weird Nicholas Cage style long hair from the movie Next (2007) looking like we got “Teen Wolf” at home.

Are Diablo 3 server emus any good? I haven’t looked in a long while but now I’m intrigued.

Wouldn’t it be cool if you could store Flatpaked/appimage games on a USB drive indefinitely so then you could plug it into another machine and simply launch the game from it?

You know, like a video game console!
