  • I can swear the pixel 6a still has at least 2 more years of security updates not sure if that's considered to be soon eol but yeah that's a solid setup

  • fuck... subscene is closing down (in less than 12 hours) UPDATE: has now closed down

    Jump

  • I'm late to the party but damn that's a kick to the balls. For subdl I noticed there's also an org version, do you happen to know if they're related to each other?

  • Cheap, but reliable SSDs?

  • Yeah their MX series have been nice to me

  • How do you know if a book you pirated is complete/original/full etc ?

  • Just saw the edit and if you don't want to go the router route + LAN for some reason guess another option would be a ucb c dock that allows power pass through. I have an anker one that I use on occasion and recommend it. You can then either get an external drive or a SD card.

  • Pretty sure some even have an SD card slot too so even less weight to carry

  • How to store digital files for posterity? (hundreds of years)

  • Kinda doubt that tbh think at most 15-20 years then we'll look at USB A like how we see serial today. We're still in the infancy stages of companies phasing it out even though it started like 8 years ago.

  • This looks promising. I keep some media on an external, encrypted ssd when I travel and just been relying on making a note of the episode and using haruna's playback time feature.

  • Looking for a good, cheap backup solution.

    Jump

  • How much data are we talking about and how convenient do you want it? I just learned about the storagebox service that another user posted but personally I brought used large capacity drive for cheap and keep them offsite but that's just because I have less than 4 terabytes of data still. Anything above that I'll commit to the storagebox service

  • How should I do backups?

    Jump

  • Damn never heard of them looks great. Is there any catch or is it like a small company that might go out of business in a few years? I still haven't had to backup more then 4tb but once I do get up to those numbers they might be the best option compared to offsite hard drives like I been doing

  • What's up with the prices of smaller used drives?

    Jump

  • Agree 100% about the smart data and hate the excuse of "I have too many drives..." but I guess I understand since they're a wholesaler. They mostly rely on their vendors for the testing. The only words of advise I can give since I was in the same exact shoes as you a couple months ago is this on ebay: stick to known sellers (serverpartsdeals and goharddrives are the big, reliable ones on there), aim for something less than 5 years old since actual powered on hours aren't really reliable like miles on a car, look for a seller warranty and a free return policy not a manufacturer warranty since they were kinda a bitch to deal with, make sure you message them about packaging the drives correctly (bubblewrap + antistatic bag + box) can't tell how many of them thought it was fine sending a drive in a yellow bubblewrap envelope, and the biggest one is multiple drives since you already have that covered I don't need to explain it. For 4tb I wouldn't go anywhere above 35$ USD think that's 33€ but could be wrong. I wish you luck

  • 1080 vs 4k | SDR vs HDR in 1 video

  • Dang was hoping to do that with mkvtoolnix. That way I could have 2 different resolutions of the same video in one file

  • Cathode ray dude did a great video on this the 90s were a magical time. There's also a dvd version iirc

  • Paying for mullvad via mailed cash

    Jump

  • 100% agree but personally seems like a hassle to get, exchanging giftcards or another crypto for monero, etc..., especially if you haven't dipped your feet into the whole crypto world like me to begin with. For my personal threat model if i do end up liking mullvad, amazon vouchers will work just fine or if this whole mailing system works I'll continue doing that. But yes you're absolutely correct though

  • Gosh darn spudtacular, but for real thank you for the help. Think I was honestly overthinking everything. I have a standard envelope at home so I'll just use that and get the stamp at the post office. It'll be my first time sending out something in years so hopefully I do things correctly, haha

  • Wait til it rains then wear a hoodie and sun glasses lmao. Guess you can also hire a homeless guy/kid to do it for you

  • Yeah you're right. Appreciate it thank you for your help

  • Paying for mullvad via mailed cash

  • Yeah I read that but I'm just getting a little hung up in the details. Like what envelope to use and what stamps? I keep getting mixed result online, a standard us white envelope, an A4 yellow envelope, 3 forever stamps or an international stamp. It just confusing me a bit
