Dumb question since its peer to peer that means you’ll need port forwarding if using nicotine+ over a VPN right?

I can swear the pixel 6a still has at least 2 more years of security updates not sure if that’s considered to be soon eol but yeah that’s a solid setup

Yeah their MX series have been nice to me

This looks promising. I keep some media on an external, encrypted ssd when I travel and just been relying on making a note of the episode and using haruna’s playback time feature.

How much data are we talking about and how convenient do you want it? I just learned about the storagebox service that another user posted but personally I brought used large capacity drive for cheap and keep them offsite but that’s just because I have less than 4 terabytes of data still. Anything above that I’ll commit to the storagebox service

The ol skin flute

Damn never heard of them looks great. Is there any catch or is it like a small company that might go out of business in a few years? I still haven’t had to backup more then 4tb but once I do get up to those numbers they might be the best option compared to offsite hard drives like I been doing

Agree 100% about the smart data and hate the excuse of “I have too many drives…” but I guess I understand since they’re a wholesaler. They mostly rely on their vendors for the testing. The only words of advise I can give since I was in the same exact shoes as you a couple months ago is this on ebay: stick to known sellers (serverpartsdeals and goharddrives are the big, reliable ones on there), aim for something less than 5 years old since actual powered on hours aren’t really reliable like miles on a car, look for a seller warranty and a free return policy not a manufacturer warranty since they were kinda a bitch to deal with, make sure you message them about packaging the drives correctly (bubblewrap + antistatic bag + box) can’t tell how many of them thought it was fine sending a drive in a yellow bubblewrap envelope, and the biggest one is multiple drives since you already have that covered I don’t need to explain it. For 4tb I wouldn’t go anywhere above 35$ USD think that’s 33€ but could be wrong. I wish you luck

Dang was hoping to do that with mkvtoolnix. That way I could have 2 different resolutions of the same video in one file

Cathode ray dude did a great video on this the 90s were a magical time. There’s also a dvd version iirc

Wait til it rains then wear a hoodie and sun glasses lmao. Guess you can also hire a homeless guy/kid to do it for you

Yeah I read that but I’m just getting a little hung up in the details. Like what envelope to use and what stamps? I keep getting mixed result online, a standard us white envelope, an A4 yellow envelope, 3 forever stamps or an international stamp. It just confusing me a bit
