 The mainstream "tech" YouTubers and their consequences have been a disaster for my comment section. Thanks to LTT and co. indiscriminately telling their viewers about how hard drives are "dead" and doing sponsored server builds with 16TB SSD arrays, I now have to endure at least one teenager with a Roblox pfp per week commenting "HDDs are dead lol, nobody should be using spinning rust! downvoted and unsubscribed" under my video. 13 comments
@notthebee@tilde.zone @pavot@fosstodon.org if at some point SSDs were cheaper than HDDs, would there still be use cases for HDDs? Sorry for being part of stupidâ„¢  @notthebee I don't this can be fixed until schools start teaching kids how to critically watch/listen/read media... @notthebee These kids will foam out of their mouth when they learn that Magnetic Tape is still used for backups :neofox_devil: @notthebee For HDD's id agree, SSD's/NVM(e)'s produce much less e-waste and are generally safer.
@notthebee lol. Kids these days. Don't let it get to you. Everyone feels the need to try and act smarter than others.  @notthebee one of your original homelab videos got me inspired to finally get jellyfin, *arr, and other self hosting projects going over here. don't get discouraged by the kids who don't know any better! you're doing a lot of awesome work. :blobfoxheart:  @notthebee HDD's are still good value if you want more storage capacity than r/w speed. But, yea. Society. @notthebee Actually rust centrifuges are obsolete for most people, then again most people probably ought to look into backing up there data... That said I almost regret not buying two smaller SSDs instead of the 2x8TB for backup of the primary 2xnvme drives in the server. @notthebee "don't use VHS, betamax is the way" or "don't use simple DVDs or blurays, Disney hd DVD will win out". I only use my sdd to boot up the system it's not meant for long term storage. |

@notthebee make a video comparing the two for different use cases? 🤔
