    How can someone without programming skills make a cloud server at home for cheap?

    Lemmy’s Spoiler Doesn’t Make Sense

    (Like connected to WiFi and that’s it)

    This is for cold and archival storage right?

    I couldn’t imagine seek times on any disk that large. Or rebuild times…yikes.

      up your block size bro 💪 get them plates stacking 128KB+ a write and watch your throughput gains max out 🏋️ all the ladies will be like🙋‍♀️. Especially if you get those reps sequentially it’s like hitting the juice 💉 for your transfer speeds.

    It never ceases to amaze me how far we can still take a piece of technology that was invented in the 50s.

    That’s like developing punch cards to the point where the holes are microscopic and can also store terabytes of data. It’s almost Steampunk-y.

    These things are unreliable, I had 3 seagate HDDs in a row fail on me. Never had an issue with SSDs and never looked back.

      well until you need capacity why not use an SSD. It’s basically mandatory for the operating system drive too

      We had family computers first, I can’t recall original specs but I think my mother added in a 384MB drive to the 486 desktop before buying a win98se prebuilt with a 2GB drive. I remember my uncle calling that Pentium II 350MHZ, 64MB SDRAM, Rage 2 Pro Turbo AGP tower “a NASA computer” haha.
