That dude does not look 86.
R7 gang here. Let us keep the dream alive!
Curious what was the model of your drive failure? I have 6 years now on a bunch of 8TB WD Elements/EasyStore drives as well as some 10TB-14TB WD MyBook, Elements, and refurbished WD drives from serverpartdeals in the preceding years. Still no failures yet but I’m expecting one eventually.
I’m currently running mine on Windows and use SnapRAID and DrivePool as my defense against drive failures. I think I have 7 data drives and 2 parity at this point (totalling around 90TB). Beyond that I copy the Snapraid whatchamacallit to a separate backup drive along with my OS drive. This isn’t really a ‘backup’ but in the scenario where I have several failures and no way to restore, I still have radarr/sonarr keeping track of my library and a membership to several private trackers.
I wouldn’t worry too much about losing media files as most can just be downloaded again. I find it more beneficial to make use of all the storage space you can rather than trying to do a 1:1 backup, which gets pretty absurd once you start getting up there in movie/TV count.
Pretty sure this stuff already exists in some form. /r/datahoarder people would probably be able to steer you in the right direction though you may need to lay out several thousand for enough HDDs to hold it.
No, but an old sock full of batteries might.
Or they funnel it all to GallowBoob or whoever his replacement is.

I’m sure with a little late night cruise, you’ll have no trouble finding a cheap handy to pickup.
I searched, and surprisingly none within 50 miles of me.
Maybe when you put two evil names together, the evil cancels itself out?
Why are literally every single one of your Lemmy comments about oil or green energy? Do you really expect people to believe that you’re being genuine with any of this, especially with this half-assed non-reply to such a lengthy comment?
I bought my last 14TB drive with them after buying new ones over the last 6 years. I definitely wish I would have heard about them sooner as I could have a lot more storage at a lot lower price if I had.
Except some time ago, we demanded that Ukraine give up their nuclear arsenal and that we’d protect them from Russia if they did.
They already tried that after Russia took Crimea, and then Russia went ahead and invaded the rest of Ukraine anyway.
They’re responding to your own hypothetical about a black man getting arrested in the US…
What about all those pallets that went missing?
Huh? I asked a simple question.
I’m not a fan of Tabasco so I wholeheartedly say “nay.” If we’re talking classic Sriracha or something less vinegary, then by all means “yea”.
