Elektrek “estimated”, using incomplete data.

So your issue sounds is one of disorganization rather than backup or migration.

Use something like WizTree or WinDirStat, which will help you visualize the data on your disk, and hopefully locate your critical files. You’ve got no choice other than to grind it out and get your shit organized.

Once done, migrate your newly organized files onto a new disk. Unless you want to play with weird drivers, I’d recommend you format the new disk as ExFat to maximize compatibility between Linux and Windows.

I understand the importance of backups and regularly practice doing so, even if not to the fullest extent.

File history is not a backup, and certainly not a backup strategy. If your data truly is critical, which given your lengthy post explaining how far you’re going towards not backing up your data, look at 3-2-1, then reassess how critical your data is. At a minimum, you should have an offline copy on another disk, and not just a volume shadow copy.

If you’ve ever connected a laptop or PC to a television as a monitor, the benefit of 4K for text readability is incredibly apparent.

If this isn’t your use case, and you’re not right up against your screen, 1080p is more than good enough; not like most content is coming down on 4K unless you’re paying extra, anyways.

They haven’t updated their wikis for Operating Costs or Hosting since late 2022, somewhat aligned with their blog post on handling the mass influx of users from “E-day”.

Back then this was 6 AMD 5950 16/32 with 128GB of RAM and 2x3.84TB SSDs, with one “storage provider” with an AMD epyc 32/64 with 400GB of RAM and 10TB of storage.

Their hosting provider doesn’t offer these same SKUs, but roughly equivalent could be about €200/mo for each of the former, and the beefiest high RAM option is like €800/mo, totalling €2K/mo?

Curious how much the infrastructure has grown, but I haven’t seen anything else. Even so, these costs are extremely high.

Curious question, why would IPv6 introduce additional latency?

Wake me up when they have enough senators voting to convict.

They have $3.6B in free cash flow. This is just a decrease from last year, which was a record, to this year, a year in which new car sales outside of China are massively down everywhere.

Users annoyed; do nothing.

If you think you can stop using products of companies whose executives support the Republican Party, you’re quickly going to find yourself in the Stone Age.

Nearly every corporate executive, for nearly every company, is likely to be a Republican.

Even Tim Cook, an outspoken homosexual who has previously been the target of Trump-led MAGA vitriol, just recently expressed support and donated a million dollars to Trump.

People will just posture and harumph, yet keep buying Samsung, Google, and Apple cell phones, or use Enamel baby formula, or eat meat and vegetables grown using John Deere and Monsanto products…

I could go on, but there is no need to depress myself.

To be fair, they are also running the democrats, the independents, etc, etc.

Because they make more profit from that 30% than they make from hardware sales. That’s all there is to it.

The FBI and prosecution should do their fucking job and build a case, instead of relying on illegal search and seizure.

Only issue with the technology is that the waves were not dynamic; they were deterministic/the same every race.
