We need augmented reality glasses with uBlock Origin now more them ever. Fuck United Airlines and the ad-riddled plane they flew in on.

There is not a single thing Windows 11 does better than Windows 10 that benefits me. I'm sure I'll get a good chuckle out of that list.

GasMaskedLunatic ,

Yeah, like I said. No benefit to me. If anything, lots of these 'features' are things I want to actively avoid in my closed-source operating systems.

GasMaskedLunatic ,

That's exactly what a chatbot sophisticated enough to be an existential threat would say.

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

With 140TB+ of existing data, I would need 16 18TB HDDs to have RAID 1, and I also need the ability to expand. Really, I just need to have all the data accessible over the network so I can manage it from my main PC and stream it via a Plex/Jellyfin server. Maybe 4 smaller DIY NAS systems accessed by a separate system? I would really prefer no proprietary software if I can avoid it, and enterprise is out of my price range after I'll be spending $3,000+ on HDDs.

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

I only have 140TB atm, but I plan to expand. I want to backup all my Blu-rays, which will be at least 10 more HDDs. 2TBs used to be a lot. Lol

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

The data is currently stored on external drives, but once I've got the new setup with RAID I'll erase the drives and sell to friends, or use in other projects like an emulation station. 15+ wall plugs is excessive.

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

Doesn't that keep more than two copies? RAID 1 is expensive enough as is. I just need to be able to pop in a replacement drive if one fails so I don't lose data.

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

I'll have to watch a video on it later, I assumed having a 1:1 backup was the most efficient backup method possible without compression. I don't plan on utilizing every drive at once, and I don't plan on having more than 20 to start with, but it won't be much more than I already have, so I should be okay to start. I just want to make sure there room for expansion in the future. I don't need all 40 immediately. My UPS will tell me how much power I'm drawing, right?

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

I'll have to watch a video later I guess. I know it's possible to lose a drive while it's rebuilding, but it's improbable, and I figured it takes more space, I'm okay taking that risk since I'm not handling irreplaceable data, just my personal TV/movie archive for now. But if it can save space, I'll have to consider it.

GasMaskedLunatic OP ,

Yeah. Music, movies, and TV.

GasMaskedLunatic ,

You're wrong.

Who said anything about making you anonymous?

OpenAI wants to raise 5-7 trillion dollars. Yes, Trillion (decrypt.co)

OpenAI CEO Sam Altman is in talks with investors, including from the United Arab Emirates, to raise between $5 trillion to $7 trillion in funding. The goal, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal, is to increase the world's chip manufacturing capacity and enhance AI capabilities....

This mother fucker REALLY wants the machine uprising ending.

multimedia manager by series (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

is there a media server/manager that supports multiple types of media (i.e books, series, comics, etc) natively and allows media to be ordered by series? i came across this problem when trying to organize a series in my media collection that contains movies, series and books; i tried searching for a solution on jellyfin...

GasMaskedLunatic ,

In Jellyfin, if you add the Star Wars movies to a collection named Star Wars, then do the same to the TV Shows, and then open the Star Wars collection, it will show you the movies and the shows. You could probably do the same for the books after you install the book library plugin, though I don't think Jellyfin is the ideal way to read ebooks.

    Thanks for posting this a fourth time. I really needed that extra dopamine.

    GasMaskedLunatic ,

    Could you please delete this post and post it again so we can all dislike it a fourth time? I need more dopamine.

    GasMaskedLunatic ,

    I was meming on OP for deleting and re-posting this multiple times because they were frustrated by the amount of downvotes.
