I’m not a fan of Tabasco so I wholeheartedly say “nay.” If we’re talking classic Sriracha or something less vinegary, then by all means “yea”.

That dude does not look 86.

R7 gang here. Let us keep the dream alive!

Curious what was the model of your drive failure? I have 6 years now on a bunch of 8TB WD Elements/EasyStore drives as well as some 10TB-14TB WD MyBook, Elements, and refurbished WD drives from serverpartdeals in the preceding years. Still no failures yet but I’m expecting one eventually.

I’m currently running mine on Windows and use SnapRAID and DrivePool as my defense against drive failures. I think I have 7 data drives and 2 parity at this point (totalling around 90TB). Beyond that I copy the Snapraid whatchamacallit to a separate backup drive along with my OS drive. This isn’t really a ‘backup’ but in the scenario where I have several failures and no way to restore, I still have radarr/sonarr keeping track of my library and a membership to several private trackers.

I wouldn’t worry too much about losing media files as most can just be downloaded again. I find it more beneficial to make use of all the storage space you can rather than trying to do a 1:1 backup, which gets pretty absurd once you start getting up there in movie/TV count.

No, but an old sock full of batteries might.

Maybe when you put two evil names together, the evil cancels itself out?

Why are literally every single one of your Lemmy comments about oil or green energy? Do you really expect people to believe that you’re being genuine with any of this, especially with this half-assed non-reply to such a lengthy comment?

Except some time ago, we demanded that Ukraine give up their nuclear arsenal and that we’d protect them from Russia if they did.

They already tried that after Russia took Crimea, and then Russia went ahead and invaded the rest of Ukraine anyway.

They’re responding to your own hypothetical about a black man getting arrested in the US…

What about all those pallets that went missing?

Huh? I asked a simple question.

Well, where do you think it goes once it’s taxed away at 100%?

Nah domestic manufacturers just build shitty cars that people don’t want, dealerships are tacking on ADM which is driving sales away, and interest rates are the highest they’ve been in decades.

EV sales keep increasing by large amounts YoY which disproves “a lack of desire.”

Really? I had no idea.

Generational wealth is easily tackled by an inheritance tax. If my rights and living wishes as a dead person don’t matter with regard to my property, why should some random stranger be entitled to it either?

You can counteract this with a strict timeframe like 20 or 25 years. If I create something and die a year later, my copyright transfers to whomever and they can hold it for 19 more years. Seems fair all around.

I’d like to see government subsidies instead.

How would that really work in practice though? Would Disney get $100 million for making a movie while I only get $100 for making my own independent movie? It’d be really hard to assign a value to things without the associated system that we currently use.

Which of these behemoth legacy automakers have been “spurred to dash for cheaper EVs?” Most of the recent headlines have been about these automakers complaining that they aren’t selling enough EVs and are therefore going to reduce their investment in them, which is quite the opposite of what we’re hearing in this article. This article only seems to mention automakers pushing for cheaper supplier costs just like any other business would do.
