  • For someone sounding nontechnical, even a simple explanation will be difficult.

    OP, despite everyone just claiming docker is the way to go, do what you’re comfortable with. Docker will require some technical background, maybe look up some videos first.

    I’d also recommends using Podman over docker since it’s open source unlike actual docker, and can run all the same stuff.

    Personally, I hate all the CLI involved, but that’s me. Yes I run it, but down the road if troubleshooting is required, it takes a little time looking up commands or how to proceed. Forums can help too.



  • Why don’t you buy a BD-ROM drive and burn around 50GB data to those? Then they have those drive cases that’ll hold around 100 discs on a soft sleeve, easy to store, lightweight, but takes manual moving. But of you’re prose is archival/backup, that’s the way to go.

    I’ve got stacks of DVD-ROM discs from almost 20 years ago that hold 4.7GB data each iirc and have flip phone pictures and video on just to not waste space on a backup hard drives that’s not likely to fail. I do have a BD-ROM drive now but never cared to pull data from disc to HDD, then reburn multiple onto 1 or 2 BD discs. Would make sense to do it as it’ll reset the preservation clock, be ~$100 drive, and last about 30 years.

    You’re looking for inexpensive, long term, low technical skill. And I give you a solution that doesn’t require giving Sony money outside of royalties for blu ray tech.


  • Can you sneak in a raspberry pi? Maybe install pihole, eblocker, adguard home, or technitium on it and point your PC DNS settings to it? Requires hooking up another device on the work network, idk how locked down you’re network is, but it’d be sweet if you could do that.

    I run everything at work. I’ve got 3 raspberry pi’s I run for redundancy and block ads for everyone at work. Occasionally, one of our teams complain because they’re searching a product on Google and clicking the top link that’s an ad, so I just whitelist their PCs from blocking. It’s annoying they’re so set in their ways, like find another link that doesn’t say sponsored, but oh well. Best of luck.







  • I’m just looking forward to the innovations of sodium ion batteries from BYD, CATL, and Goshen. They’re doing a lot of large scale large capacity batteries that’re cheaper and safer to produce and operate. Hopefully BYD implements into more vehicles, and I think CATL will too since they made the F150 lightning and Mustang Mach E lithium batteries. (Technically let Ford use the technology to make them iirc in Ford plants to be called American made or something)


  • Thanks! And I’ve seen a lot of people shit on the modern copyright system as it is, because you’re essentially paywalling for no real reason. I forget how it was explained, but another comment a few weeks back made better sense than I can recall here.

    It’s why I’ve switched to a lot of FOSS apps. Contributions to community driven apps make loads of improvements, and if there needs to be different solutions or goals, they can be forked off to meet different needs. It helps keep applications lightweight vs cumbersome and heavy trying to be a sloppy Swiss army knife.




  • Micron has their 250TB with 16GB RAM cache priced at $100k according to the other article at the bottom. I was going to guess 200k then. Who knows. But if they can build better nand modules to increase densities, eventually prices should come back down. 🤞SanDisk said to be working on the first ever 1PB SSD.

    I just wish they’d go back to using 1024 base vs 1000 for measuring capacities. A 10TB drive shows up as 9TB inside Windows at least, because they calculate capacities differently. I know you’re not actually losing space, but it’d be nice to have a toggle to switch TiB and TB.


  • Capitalism went from allowing competition to drive down prices to companies incrementally increasing prices that everyone follows and repeats.

    I can recall this very thing “working well” with retail rewards systems. Best buy would revamp their rewards program actually making benefits worse and raising more spending to hit different tiers, and other similar retailers followed. The “Geek squad” services increased, so did competitors to remain competitive while increasing profits.

    Automotive repair shop’s cost of hourly labor goes up while the actual mechanics hardly see an increase in pay.

    Slowly but surely things have gone up in price while what you’re spending money on buys you less. Physical media that you OWN never “expires” but streaming services and buying digital copies in services like Apple TV lose the rights. Games disappear because severs shut down or rights expire.

    YOU WILL OWN NOTHING AND BE HAPPY! and the way big tech is treated, well, if buying isn’t owning, than piracy isn’t stealing.
