You don’t need an 8GB Pi for gaming. Most of these run on a 1GB Pi3

It’d be less than half the price to buy a Raspberry Pi 4 and you can even get a custom case.

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.

Yes, anyone with access to the internet is able to seek out porn which is why it seems unnecessary to risk pushing it in the faces of kids on a site marketed to children.

I find the incel comment hilarious considering you’re the one pushing for more women getting naked in game streaming videos like some thirsty dude.

Nothing wrong with streaming nudity, but Twitch is specifically marketed to children for the purpose of watching people play video games. Blending porn in that with an algorithm that throws new videos in your face is a recipe for disaster.

Your “supposed to be clearly labeled” argument is really doing a lot of the heavy lifting here and ignores the reality of people gaming the system or finding loopholes and we all know there aren’t going to be any real people moderating the site just like every other social media/video streaming site.

They really should have split it up into two different sites because I see this blowing up in their face spectacularly.

The article just states a “mid-cycle refresh” which doesn’t necessarily mean it has to outpace the original in performance.

So costs are out of control, but wages are at an appropriate level? That doesn’t really make much sense logically. The actual values don’t matter as much as the disparity between the two. If the minimum wage were $100/hr, a house costing $400k wouldn’t be an issue. Similarly, if the minimum wage were $2/hr while homes cost $8k, that also wouldn’t be an issue.

Traditionally, console makers like Sony and Microsoft often create a mid-cycle console refresh,

Am I tripping or did this only happen once each? Was there some PS3 Pro or Xbox 360X that I missed?

console makers have been releasing slim versions for years

what the fuck are you even talking about?

It’s a little early to be drinking, bud

So why do we have thousands of people living on the streets in my state that’s been solidly blue for over 40 years? Take your blinders off already because you are engaging in the same behavior as MAGA supporters: blind allegiance.

Why the fuck is this guy interviewing someone who doesn’t even work for the developer about a game that is still years away from coming out?

How can you measure this off 3 days of activity? Do they assume people sit and play video games 24/7?

Not to mention with all the supply chain issues, most people weren’t even able to get a PS5 until the last year or so and I’m sure none of those people want to repurchase a slightly upgraded version so soon.

They had slim variants going back to the Playstation/PS1. More recently was the “pro” models coming out trying to jump on the Apple marketing bandwagon.

I bought my last 14TB drive with them after buying new ones over the last 6 years. I definitely wish I would have heard about them sooner as I could have a lot more storage at a lot lower price if I had.

Something something “it’s just as illegal for the rich man to sleep under a bridge as it is for the poor man to sleep under a bridge.”

Can’t I just send them to North Korea and have them deal with it?

Huh? I asked a simple question.

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