  • I think if you replaced "great artist" with "someone you greatly respect" it'd be universally applicable.

    Also, you've given an example of ignorance, not stupidity. Stupidity is the desire to cling to ignorance, a refusal to learn.

  • This is why being a philanthropist doesn't reform a billionaire. They're making decisions for the rest of us using our money.

  • Should the shit I took this morning be classified as a person?

  • But eventually you won't have a choice. They will make they hardware entirely unaffordable.

  • No, I cannot.

  • I suggest making a script that uses existing software (ie mkvtoolnix) to extract the dubbed audio and then backing that up and l leaving the high quality video to the Web to backup.

    I know it's less than ideal but you can automate both extracting it and muxing it back in. It may take some effort to setup, but it's well worth the huge recurring costs incurred from backing up that amount of data.

    Just an idea to consider.

  • More like you'll access better hardware over the web with a subscription fee.

  • Akira Kurosawa is going to dominate this list.

    Ikiru,Seven Samurai,The Hidden Fortress,

    There's just no arguing that those are some of the best films of the 50s.

    But there's also Ben Hur, Vertigo, 12 Angry Men, The 400 Blows, The Seventh Seal, North by Northwest, Strangers on a Train...

    How do you choose?

  • Are you all ready for subscription based PCs? Because they are going to make sure that's the only way you can afford decent hardware.

  • It's literally downloading the same amount of data you would be backing up, and you won't be charged hourly for downloading it from the internet as opposed to a large storage service.

  • I have 45TB of data and the majority of that is definitely downloaded media. They call us data hoarders for a reason.

  • If you back up the modern day Arrs databases then it's essentially the same thing and already built into the software that will redownload them for you. That's my solution. I backup my backups of those, of my home assistant, my Immich library, my Nextcloud, etc... Pirated media is, for the most part, out there backed up on several places already.

  • How much of that 50 terabytes is media downloaded from the Internet? Because the cheapest way would be to trust that it's already backed up on the Internet and then use one of the usual services like B2 by Backblaze or Storagebox by Hetzner to back the rest of it up.

  • You know who else idolizes the Punisher? Cops.

  • A non-hacky solution would be to buy a cheap used mini-pc with an HDMI output. eBay is flush with ones from businesses. You don't need a ton of horsepower for Google slides. Just make sure the PC is complete and working so you don't have to buy additional parts. If you can prep a raspberry pi for a Linux install you can do the same with a mini-pc and get more performance for less money.

  • You're right, tactics is accusatory when it shouldn't be. There's no evidence of motive or intent. Let's call it "your logic" instead.

  • Nobody was calling you a racist but if it's that upsetting that someone pointed out that your tactics are logic is similar that's on you.

    Edit: tactics is unnecessarily accusatory and that wasn't my intent and I don't think it was the original commenters intent either. Changed "tactics" to "logic."
