kinda smells like truenas with its datasets

i spose...

my anecdote;

ive been runnin drives like this for 30 years. ive literally never had a cold storage drive go bad out of the case.. mostly because their hourly use rate is kept so incredibly low. even back in the day of very unreliable drives..

they even retain their data better than modern ssds

3 methods for me...

1. (daily) live nas backup (I have 2 of these mirrored for giggles)
2. (90 days) cold, manual copy of nas data to drive stored in pelican case
3. (live) cheap cloud storage of essential data in backblaze encrypted vault (duplicati)

dunno man... unlike the american dicatorship they got top notch evs and shit. top. notch.

no

I have reached the stage where I will wear crocs

my family would institutionalize me if i said this; correctly inferring my brain had broken in some catastrophic manner

ive gotten replies on shit after years... im always pleasantly surprised

i say go for it, always

absolutely correct. humans have been scamming humans since inception, and the best methods last the longest.

its almost like the whole thing is an amalgam of thousands of texts edited and repurposed across thousands of years by human beings with various motivations.

its a buy now pay later scam everyone should avoid

in the 80s 'online' was often very local . you learned not to say things you wouldnt say to that persons face because there was every chance you would run into them at some local gathering of users.
