Seems too good to be true, I bought 12 of them refurbished for around that price. EBay has the money back guaranteed, so if you are willing to try it with the chance with it, it could be a great deal. Your call though.
Probably a little late now, but make sure you use a service that works with the guarantee like a credit card. I don’t think it works with PayPal but don’t quote me on that.
That’s how I started out too. You pick a few things here and there, next thing you know a few years later you build a server capable of storing half a petabyte of data. The important thing is to know when it starts becoming a problem. I am at 216 tb now, but I should be good for years to come.
Not that I'm particularly against that - quite the opposite, in fact. But I'm wondering if anyone sees, or had seen a path to social and climate recovery/progress that could occur without first eradicating the class of people who most enjoy the present status quo.
But seriously though, eliminating bad actors should be the first step. Otherwise they will just drag their heels into the ground preventing any real progress for whatever reason they have. Whether it be greed, malice, or just plain old stupidity.
Death will likely be involved at some point realistically. Either by people refusing to go peacefully, or by a lack of action by the people resulting in groups dying for things like heat stroke/freezing to death, starvation, general unrest.
I wish that things like that wouldn’t happen, but I won’t be surprised if it does.
Why YSK GrapheneOS is a step above the rest. I understand it’s ironic de-google phone/tablet with google hardware, but it just works better then anything else. Permission toggles, pin scrambling, auto-reboot, scopes, MAC randomization, isolated user profiles, longer passwords, sandboxed apps, open source firmware, no bloat &...
The astroid impact that wiped out the dinosaurs. Would be cool to see a world ending event as the sky lights on fire, oceans evaporate, and a super tsunami.
The problem is that it only works if the ideal scenario occurs being that we all work together to make things better. Corporate interaction in open source has shown that embrace, extend, extinguish is a very successful strategy.
Would we be harming the idea of a completely open network? No doubt. The question is whether or not allowing corporations would be better or worse for us in the long run.
Sure, but the Linux kernel is an extremely time consuming thing to maintain and is not worth privatizing for most companies as it rarely is a source of profit instead of infrastructure. There is little competitive edge to doing so. Meta however has a very good reason to bring in a bunch of new users to their platform and theirs only. Considering their history, it is reasonable to be distrustful.
It would be a shame to lose the wealth of knowledge with easy-ish search that subreddits like datahoarder provide if the subreddit is taken down or stays locked forever. Sure it is currently accessible, but will it stay that way?...
It could be done, but that really isn’t the best possible solution in my opinion. What I was thinking was having a bot migrate all the comments and posts here (or another instance). So the bot would take all the names of the users and replace them with the bot’s names (instead of trying to create new users on lemmy) and put the old usernames in their comment. Like “Bread commented” and their comment. So we know who said it still.
If the bot maker had control of the instance, we probably might be able to put everything in chronological order by timestamp. So it would look like the comments were all made here orginally. The only indicator it wasn’t would be the bot name as the username. So search algorithms would be able to search it just like reddit.
I believe the best way to archive a forum style website, would be on a forum where things have one to one equals.
As for moving Datahoarder to a new instance, that sure would make backups a lot nicer if a datahoarder ran it. I am surprised that it isn’t on its own already considering the topic. Same thing with self-hosted.

How much "data" do you personally have?
Data as in information (photos, contacts, messages, etc…), not your mobile internet allowance....
Is there any more ethical solution to our current circumstances than "murder all billionaires"? (kbin.social)

If you could witness any historical event firsthand, which one would you choose and why?

Are we defederating from Threads?
I’ve seen that some instances have already done it preemptively.
Is there a way (or desire for that matter) to port the datahoarder subreddit history/comments/etc to lemmy?
