Quite the opposite. Use drives from as many different manufacturers as you can, especially when buying them at the same time. You want to avoid similar lifecycles and similar potential fabrication defects as much as possible, because those things increase the likelihood that they will fall close to each other - particularly with the stress of rebuilding the first one that failed.

Has someone asked what there IS to defend if not people’s lives?

The thing is, just like software subscriptions, you aren’t buying a piece of software, you’re buying the right to use it. You can be pretty sure that they have legalese in the eula that says that your right to use the software expires with non-use. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can even let it expire by simple deciding to no longer support it.

And what do you think will happen if their license servers ever go offline?

For the longest time I never bought anything digital, but I eventually caved to steam. I still blatantly refuse to join other digital platforms, except gog where I can download the software and it works without any remote server.

Same for music: I refuse to use Spotify. I buy from 7digital and the like, where I can download either mp3 or FLAC.

Delicious 😁

Hmm… Wonder if the haters would avoid stalls with such stickers for fear of catching the gay…

Make it a denial of service attack!

… who don’t understand that they are foreign in Canada? 🙂

I haven’t opened the link yet, but I’m not sure you want to use the word slash… 😋

Mostly because this is basically a volunteer project paid for by donations.

I guess god isn’t in a hurry, or he’d send more volunteers.

That’s very interesting, thanks!

So, basically, the US is very upset that the money they give is being used… The solution seems obvious…

Dude. I have that exact same book, I think it’s even second edition as well. What kind of a decrepit old fuck are you 😋

Still here, dude. Pleasure to downvote you 😁

Public bulletin boards are forbidden in, iirc, Brazil, or at least in the capital. Made for a very different view.

Don’t you mean a cockie 😋

We truly love in interesting times. Fuck, I wish we didn’t.

For seeding? Nah. Not unless you have a ton of upload and loads of peers making requests.

Get something that has an internal mirror, that’ll give you double the read throughput AND some redundancy.

As if any spyware worth it’s salt didn’t install itself as service with an innocuous name. Something like “Facebook” or “TikTok”.

I don’t have a guide handy, but I’d assume VLC could do that.

There most certainly are, yet for some reason there is only one flag on this sign 😁

I’m certainly not generalizing, but you can’t deny that the US has its own weaponized brand of stupid.

I don’t think they’re wrong, either. Some Americans do seem to think that foreigner means “not from the US”.

That is clearly an unsafe design. You’d need at least three layers of cardboard to withstand the heat.
