And if I don’t it’s because I’ve misplaced it, and the program isn’t going to help with that :(

In that case it will help you with where it was supposed to be

Maybe but its still not a weird number in this context :p

How is that usable? My work laptop with win11 is at 8-10 GB after boot

How is it a weird number? Its 2**9

Click “visit random instance” a couple of times until you hit an instance that works

And dont feel bad for random rights holders of dead musicians or musicians who are already filthy rich. If your music taste is limited to taylor swift and some up and coming indie artist make sure the whole budget goes to that up and coming artist…

Yup they suck. Gave up piracy for streaming services once, wont get suckered in again if an attractive new service comes along unless there is some proper ownership involved. But i cant really see that happening.

Edit no wait you were 100% right I was way overthinking it. You’re just basically saying you’re not rotating the content on the page, but whether it’s on its side on the reader or not, lol. Yeah my bad way overthought it you were absolutely right

Hehe yep!

I have been shocked to find that my printer not only connects on linux and stays connected without much effort but does so over wifi. Ink clogs all the time tho…🫠

You are overthinking this. It has nothing to do with whether something is designed or not for landscape or portrait. It is whether the file itself has dimensions of 4000x2000 and you want to rotate it 90 degs so that it is 2000x4000. Same content but everything rotated so that it opens oriented the way it was intended.

The Nordic countries are about to ban gas.

No we are not. The 2025 100% ev target in norway was always a target, and there was never talks of a ban on ice. Were somewhere at around 95-100% new sales being evs but you can still buy ice and wont be prevented from doing so atleast in the forseeable future. Rest of the world just went on assuming that it was talk of a ban. Its not. Well probably follow suit with whatever eu is doing when it comes to actual bans.

As a norwegian who is back to pirating after a break of around 10-12 years, it is not primarily a cost issue. Hell with hardware investments it is costing me more tho that includes stuff for gaming (roms, i currently dont pirate pc games).

What it is is a service issue. Self curated collection of movies and shows beats the fragmented shit that is current streaming platforms not to mention the flood of utter garbage on tgese platforms you have to sift thru to find somethinf worth watching. Not to mention the privacy aspects and in general the “ownership” model (ie licensing without really knowing the terms).

Fuck that shit and im never getting fooled again.

Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.

ah rotating the drives can is a smart solution, that could be an option.

ah good to know. hopefully will not need the recovery but if i do i would like to avoid paying thousands, because then the idea of spending money to save time in case of emergency doesnt really work anymore

My impressions is that such fireproof safes are only fireproof for so long?

i have been planning on getting on though so could perhaps store the original local copy there for additional safety. depends on the space tho

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)

Ill check that out :)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

perfect, thanks a lot!!!

Ok thanks i will look into B2 (is that just shorthand for backblaze or is it something in particular?)

I asked below here as well so no need to answer multiple times, but will restic encrypt when transferring or does it require that i can store the entire encrypted archive locally as well? or is that just borg?

thanks, thats very helpful!

One (maybe stupid) question - since restic encrypts, does it do this in transfer or would i need to have additional space on my local hard drives for the encrypted archive?

edit: got an answer to this above: does not require intermediate storage! :)
