An interesting read. I hope they update us with more info as they look into it deeper.

Feels like we are shifting into a seriously locked down future of the internet. Where everything will require ID to do anything from seeing memes to eventually reading news sites. I cannot believe how quickly all this is happening and how co-ordinated it seems to be.

VPN’s work for now but what about when the EU and USA pass their restriction and censorship acts too, eventually there will be nowhere to VPN too. Does anyone have any advice other than hoarding what ever data and sites we can now while they are still available?

I agree baroque music, programmer socks and a 1700’s French style wig for discussing Linux on Lemmy

Good read thanks.

Yeah they seem to be everywhere at the moment.

If you have a bigger budget around $2k something like LTO7 with 6TB tapes would be fantastic for larger data sets.

The lto 5 drives are around $400 on ebay and the tapes can be had for around $20 each - less if bought in bulk and each tape hold 1.5TB.

I don’t find it that slow as in the event of a restore like i am doing at the moment, I can get through around 3 tapes per 24 hours.

One thing I will say is although newer LTO standards allow you to treat it like a normal drive it works better using proper software designed for the task like Iperius Backup.

I have around 65TB backed up on LTO5 tapes. Found them very reliable when needed for a restore and great for an off-site backup.

However I would say it is overkill for anything under 20TB.

I second material files. Great for network file access and no ads.

Building my own i3 8 bay build after finding a good cheap case called saggitarius on ali express

Mine too. Already priced a new build half the price just the data migration I’m not looking forward too.

I agree and I watch them myself. I do not claim to know how the female mind works lol

I am trying to get my wife to learn more about Linux. She likes Bread on Penguins but sadly can’t get her into DT, The Linux Experiment or even Gardiner. Therefore, I thought if i could find more female voices talking about Linux it may be more accessible for her.

Sorry I’m using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I’m writing in BASIC.

Aww I guess i’m fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol

LibreOffice FTW screw Microshaft!
