I would rather not buy so large SSDs. for most stuff the performance advantage is useless while the price is much larger, and my impression is still that such large SSDs have a shorter lifespan (regarding how many writes will it take to break down). recovering data fron a failing HDD is also easier: SSDs just turn read-only or completely fail at one point, in the latter case often even data recovery companies being unable to recover anything, while HDDs will often give signs that a good monitoring software can detect weeks or months before, so that you know to be more cautious with it

Maybe you see a usecase that would see someone without knowledge or equipment need tons of cheap storage in a single desktop pc?

Personally I have 4 TB and some in the PC, and it’s almost full. a few VMs, a couple of snapshots, music because I prefer a local player over jellyfin, almost all programs that I didn’t want to keep on my small SSD, and a bunch of other data.

I know someone who wanted to save his dashcam recordings to his PC. I could not get him to tell why does he want it, and figure out if it would be important enough to get a big drive, but currently he can only store 2 days of recordings on the SSD. People around me are often on a tight budget, and I didn’t want to buy him an SSD unnecessarily big (before I got to know he wants to do this…), both for the cost and the lower lifespan

that’s good to be aware of, but using nvme drives for lots of storage does not seem to be economical. (I assume) in most cases large amounts of storage like this is used for archival and backups, where speeds don’t matter over what good HDDs can do.

better start preparing with a 10G network!

well until you need capacity why not use an SSD. It’s basically mandatory for the operating system drive too

because if you roll your own root cert, nobody’s web browsers will see it as trusted, they all will warn the user that something weird is happening and treat the site as if it was plain HTTP. no lemmy server would federate with it for the same reason.

So unless you have old hardware, I see the remaining use for sata as hdd-only.

how many M.w slots do current motherboards have? a useful property of SATA is that it’s not rare to have 6 of them

e-ink is the screen technology. even if you could replace its OS, that most probably wouldn’t help

does that mean that you dont use hard drives at all? how many storage have you got?

I’m all for open source, but being open source does not mean that it cannot be, or even that it is unlikely to be malicious

I don’t think their films will be able to reflect their personal creativity other than the story

in better formats (mkv) you can start playing before download has completed. you may need to have the last part of the time, but I’m not sure about that

did you actually just bring that up as a positive?

in part I agree with you. However, OP has called brainded idiots those who’s job is to manage the windows server systems, and can’t even imagine doing the same on linux without a GUI

i have stopped using openai services, and now I’m only using ai services through duck.ai website for trying to protect my privacy

that’s great to hear. in your case not wiping emails and social media is not that much of a danger, I would assume, but I would do it anyway, even if I was not a women, just for the sake of it not being used (theoretically) for ads and such anymore. but be sure you have backed up every email and post you will delete, and storing it securely

probably clients running “Human OS”

we can’t stop you if you really want to read it that way

It’s also worth noting that you can ask tools like ChatGPT for it’s references.

last time I tried that it made up links that didn’t work, and then it admitted that it cannot reference anything because of not having access to the internet
