Where do you store the checksums? Is it for every file? I thought of just making a tar for each year and then storing it next to it, and storing a copy off-site.

Hmm. Yeah I'm thinking of keeping my operation lean and simple, with an online copy. One issue I've noticed is that sometimes files just get corrupted. Perhaps due to a radiation event? A parity drive could solve that, but I want something simpler. I'm thinking just a tar with hash and then store multiple copies. What do you think?

Hope they get this to run in total war because I simply can't play any of that due to the terrible AI.

@xilliah@beehaw.org avatar

Only problem I ever had with Linux was having too many different versions of the Nvidia driver installed, so it would take lots of storage. It was easy to fix.

Ahhh. Yah the playstore version hasn't been updated in 5 months either.

I'm actually impressed they somehow managed to make star trek movies even worse. I'm not even sure anymore what it has to do with star trek, like the IP is basically dead if it weren't for SNW.

I wonder if reparations will ever be called for down the line, since it's a conscious choice and not due to necessity.

Do you raid? I just have one rn and am wondering if I could get a 2nd one and put it in raid without accidentally wiping the current one. I guess that would mitigate any failures

Do you only count active years as service life? I have one I hadn't used for years and luckily it still worked just fine and had no data loss after a couple of years, but I am not sure if I should count those years towards the max 7. Also it's a NAS drive, not the standard stuff.
