@hazelnot its effort no doubt. cost not bad. long run worth it IMHO. i still use old fashioned cheap drives that are slower but *shrug*. have a good backup routine. have i had drives fail in the past? yup.

@danbrotherston @hugoestr @hazelnot @brood Clay tablets inscribed with cuneiform seem to be the most reliable media if long term survival is anything to go by.

@runoutgroover @danbrotherston @hugoestr @hazelnot @brood Word is you should also avoid dealers of cheap copper

@runoutgroover @danbrotherston @hugoestr @hazelnot @brood don't say it too loud or some tech bro will employ poor people at 0.5$ per day to encode your data in clay for improved resilience

@danbrotherston @ehproque @hazelnot @brood @runoutgroover Now I want to learn how to work with clay tablets

@hugoestr @danbrotherston @hazelnot @brood @runoutgroover just don't let the bros know or they'll ruin it for you

@brood cost is pretty bad though if your broke, HDDs aren't super expensive but they're not cheap either

@brood to add to what I said earlier and counteract the negativity, instead of everyone being their own librarian what would be much nicer to see would be small community-shared libraries of media, from a few friends to, idk, whoever, potentially a whole neighborhood if it scales well enough

@hazelnot i like that idea, like a co-op. i think of the history of UbuWeb. "rogue libraries".

@Longplay_Games @brood doesn't have to be completely offline, but definitely underground (until capitalism collapses)

@c3manu @Longplay_Games @brood I knew of most of those, but those only cover books 😛

I have the privilege of the means to host a jellyfin server full of movies/music/books for my friends. I think every friend group needs someone like that.

@brood @hazelnot HDDs are mostly fine anyway.

@Bigblue1106 @brood @hazelnot How do you handle the HDDs? An external reader? I've been thinking of using some for archival, but not sure it having them online 24/7 is a good idea. |
@hazelnot @brood It probably is cheaper to buy drives or CDs/DVDs in the long run. I think most of us end up singing up to different streaming services chasing the small collection or movies and show we watch over and over again
