1·3 days agoFor LTO8 which can store ~12TB/Tape it’s about a 3k investment for used and cobbled togetherness for the drive and anything else, e.g. tape loaders or HBA cards.
About 6-8k new and properly done.
Then 50-80 per tape
Just looked it up and there’s like 20 terabyte tape drives on NewEgg for about a hundred bucks.
Tape? Where‽

Oh that? That was probably (not)Skynet, our third party identification provider. Not really sure what they do, probably spelled out somewhere in this 45900 page ToS/privacy policy
Fuck, sorry about that, please just shoot over your ID and your username and I’ll get that taken care of in a few days!
If you want to also shoot over all your financial details I could get it all done in a few hours!
I believe this is from the book The Fountain of Youth, or Curing by Water

Lol well it wasn’t (and still isn’t) part of the main post, it didn’t come till well after, buried in the comments ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
But I’ll update the main post here proper
Please don’t link to or participate on Lemmy.ml, join the boycott today!
This was cross-posted and given a OC user tag only as part of ongoing boycotting/protest efforts to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize and drive non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because of the behavior and attitudes of the .ml instance admins (see megathread link above)
Some highlights from the link:
“If you don’t support Russia then you just don’t understand geopolitics” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
“See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn’t count!!” ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
“NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!” ~dessalines, main .ml admin, head dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035

NKDPRK is actually GLORIOUS and all the bad stuff is just CIA LIES!!! And Russia is LIBERATING UKRAINE!!You have been .ml admin banned from .ml for rule 1 - bigotry
4·5 months agoThanks! Edited and swapped out the link
Ahh what TF bro got damnit
This take is dumb and people who perpetuate it have something wrong with them.
Careful bro, you DONT want Big Steak to put a target on your back!
Lol, this has been floating around since at least 2016

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don’t want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:

General negative sentiment to other instances who haven’t “seen the way” yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can’t even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like “Lemmy? Isn’t that the place with a bunch of tankies?” Or “Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left”. The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
I am, Tankies are defined as authoritarian communists, but not communism as a whole. They do however love to conflate the 2 to make it seem like it is
