$200 for a refurbished 20TB drive on Newegg

The new ones were on sale for $270 so around $10-15 per TB. The best I can find is $40-50 per TB for SSD. Certainly not 7times more expensive but more like 3-5.

I’m interested to see how this plane performs compared to the Concord. It’ll be interesting to find out how bad the maintenance will be.

Also the criticism and the “whatabout other important things” people commenting here should know that more than one type of research can be performed at the same time. This is an aerodynamics problem. The other problems related pollution from engines, fuel sources, and environmental impact are also being worked in parallel. A planet of 8 billion people is able to work on many problems and ideas in parallel without having one be a detriment over another. It’s not like an aeronautical engineer can be repurposed to be a fuel chemist!

Scrub! Hopefully they can try again tomorrow, looking at 03:20ET

I get the preference to be able to block communities and instances easier, but to me it’s against the whole censorship resistance that Lemmy is about. https://join-lemmy.org/docs/users/05-censorship-resistance.html

This is a community site that tries to cater to everyone and everything. That’s why there are the options to only view the local instance, subscribed communities, and all is for everything. The price of censorship resistance is that it takes extra time to subscribe to communities of interest and to block things that are not of interest, and things are still more cluttered than they need to be. I get the desire to get through that filtering process faster and easier, but Lemmy and the other Federated services are still in Beta, are running on volunteers and shoestring budgets, and are dealing with with some other major issues. I think that over time the things people are asking for will get implemented, but it will take longer than on other corporate entities. You may want to transition to a smaller instance from Lemmy.World that fits your interests better and doesn’t have as much of the content that you dislike. Also, try be patient, continue to subscribe and filter to your likes and dislikes, and if it’s not there, maybe take some time away from Lemmy and check back again in a few months.

I had it set up several ways, on by default, replay only and off.

I use DVDDecrypter or Makemkv to get the it off the disk and to the mkv video file with audio and subtitles. I then encode H.265 with handbrake which passes through the embedded subtitles.

I then used subtitle edit on the video files: https://www.nikse.dk/subtitleedit

It can convert the embedded subtitles into a srt file.

You can embed that srt file back into your mkv with mkvtoolnix without having to reencode the video: https://mkvtoolnix.download/

Good point. I’m leaning toward running the RAID as part of the OS rather than having either a dedicated NAS OS like xigmaNAS or TrueNAS, since I’d like to still use the computer for things outside just the NAS specialty that those offer. I’m still looking into the snapRAID which is more of a backup rather than RAID option. I have 4 HDs right now and have room up to 6, and that’s all I really need. With btrfs RAID, if my motherboard fails or if I have to reinstall or change the OS, will any new system with a different motherboard and operating system that recognizes btrfs still be able to read the existing RAID array on the drives, without needing previous hardware/firmware/OS info?

Thanks, I’ve had Redhat/Fedora and Ubuntu/Mint systems, so this should not be an issue. What flavor of Linux are you running?

I’d like to set up RAID1 or 10 with SATA drives so btrfs sounds doable. Although Ars gave btrfs a pretty good drubbing here a few years ago: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2021/09/examining-btrfs-linuxs-perpetually-half-finished-filesystem/

Thanks, reading up on ZFS now on Ars https://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2020/05/zfs-101-understanding-zfs-storage-and-performance/

Sounds like I could dedicate a server machine to run a zRAID 1,2 or 3 with ZFS drives running on Linux or TrueNAS? Or were you thinking something a bit different for a setup?

Thanks, have you used any in particular like SnapRAID or TrueNAS or something else?
