For me it's having a kind of Streisand Effect.... Is there a mass torrent of just Sony songs I can grab? Cus fuck em, I want it just out of spite

Yeah, this was cool until all the steps show it's not "his brain". It's a genetic facsimile.

If you click through the linked article you discover WSJ is paywalled.

You keep missing the point so hard I think it's intentional.

First off, necessary and recommended are two very different things. 4chan running for the last decade on outdated software with no backups is proof that you absolutely can run things without a backup. It's not wise, but not REQUIRED.

Secondly, OP was up there acting like 5Tb is prohibitively expensive and is gonna keep instances from being made. As me and other hobbyist have pointed out, 5tb is a joke. Those of us running little bullshit servers have WAY more. So asking someone trying to set up a social media server to have 5TB is nothing. If that seems like a lot to you, then you shouldn't even try because it's clearly way beyond your depth.

You literally just described my Jellyfin, minus the raid because I don't feel like setting it up. Think all in all I'm down about $1200 for it. Not thousands. You do realized a 12TB NAS drive is $200, right? Only reason my build cost as much is because I have a few 2TB ssds in there which were just leftovers from the PC anyways. I could've done it all for $500.

Off-site backup isn't required. Nice, but not required at all. In the literal sense, you don't need it. It's good to have, but an extra.

So yeah, 5TB, literally the only metric I was discussing, isn't much. Maybe in the future the person should say all the nuance and not "5TB is unreasonable for the average person". It's not. Plain and simple.

Did that actually get confirmed? I saw that as well but it wasn't confirmed as best as I can tell. RIP if true. Dude was a legend.

Maybe check the timestamps and see that they replied it was a joke long after id had the discussion with star. So no?

Again, this is World. Not Memes. Default assumption is your speaking truthfully. Just because you made a shitty joke doesn't mean I need to humor it either. I'm sorry I'm not content with everything being a joke.

Boo fucking hoo.

We literally had to invent /s because sarcasm isn't obvious. Before that, "jk". Before that emoticons. Yeah, I've been around. And we have always had Poes Law. I was there when the ancient magic was written.

Dude didn't add the jk until hours after id commented.

My bad, I forgot we were still on Reddit where nothing is serious and everything is a joke.

You've clearly not been on the Internet long if you haven't seen someone spout that exact line of bullshit as absolute truth before.

Maybe save your jokes for your comedy hour instead of thinking every discussion needs your half assed jokes? This isn't the meme community.
