I use weather.gov and use their charts and stuff. If this is specifically because of the eclipse, check out eclipsophile.com .

spez doesn’t care, be just wanted the money for his doomsday bunker.

“I know there’s a ton of skepticism about Meta entering the fediverse — it’s completely understandable,” Cottle says. “I do want to kind of make a plea that I think everyone on the team has really good intentions. We really want to be a good member of the community and give people the ability to experience what the fediverse is.”

If I wanted Facebook shitposts and forwards from KlanMa, I’d’ve joined Facebook. And I don’t believe Meta has good intentions, I believe they want to overwhelm the fediverse, and I believe they want to make money. Middle-manager Cottle and their team may have good intentions, but corporate certainly doesn’t, and I certainly don’t trust their users.

I feel like something changed

He grew up a rich white boy in full-Apartheid South Africa. He’s never grown up (Tesla models S,3,X,Y! Tesla fart noises! 42069 amirite!).

Nothing changed, he just got bored and started interacting with the poor’s and people noticed the person he really was.

It was pretty obvious that Trump would try to scam Musk. Fortunately, given his own difficulties, Musk was unlikely to agree - we’re just fortunate these bills are coming due so far in advance of the election. And also that, given Musk’s foreign birth, he’ll never be eligible to be president or vice president (something that I’m sure sticks in his craw).

Lmao, I was thinking more about how fractious reddit is even without provocation, but you’re right, too!

users could become unruly if Reddit stock falls below the IPO price.

Lmao, dude doesn’t know redditors at all, do they?

Spez is trying to outfit his doomsday bunker and wants the cash.

Are dht and pex enabled?

They said years ago that they only kept one previous version, which is why everyone overwrote and then deleted their stuff.

It’s possible that reddit changed that, but honestly? That requires a level of foresight that I believe is entirely beyond spez. He didn’t foresee AI products, he literally paid all the bandwidth for them to harvest the data, he didn’t foresee changes to API pricing, he didn’t foresee the protests, how long they’d last, or how many people just walked away.

Hell, in the previous big “closed subs” protest they’d never even considered a moderator rebellion: once the mods took the subs private, the admins were accidentally locked out as well - they had to negotiate to get them re-opened while they worked on backdoor changes that wouldn’t break reddit.

I just don’t see them having the foresight to add in preservation code, nor to allocate the database and storage space to keep up with it. I think if you overwrote and then deleted your stuff, reddit doesn’t have it anymore. Of course, it’s still out there, in Google’s cache and the internet archive and all the other snapshots she preservation schemes and the data already harvested for the various AIs, but at least it’s no longer indeed reddit’s control, and they won’t be able to profit from it.

Spez has spent his entire time as CEO chasing the latest tech shiny - reddit crypto, reddit NFTs, reddit video a la TikTok. And he’s always managed to do it after the craze has started to peak. So now he’s chasing the latest shiny, reddit AI, starting a full year after everyone else already released their products.

He’s late yet again, and he’s proven repeatedly that’s he’s failed to understand reddit’s greatest strengths and value. This “reddit AI content” and the IPO is his last chance to get some value out of reddit, and his last chance to make money for nothing because no one is going to hire him in a leadership role ever again. I just wonder if he’s smart enough to understand that, or whether he’s just hoping to get enough money to fully build out and stock his personal doomsday bunker.

TV-Vault, but I have no idea how you’d get into it these days. Feel free to PM me what you’re looking for, though.

Lemmy.ml also has a datahoarders.

Seeds fall off quickly on public trackers and the people who do long-term seeding on publics tend to end up seeding larger libraries. So you’ll often be the one person in the world seeding a large number of torrents. Multiple leeches is only a theoretical help because when it finally seeds out, half the people quit immediately, some hang around to seed to the last leechers, and a couple hang around for a week or two before feeling they’ve done their due diligence and signing off. Things are quiet on that torrent for a month or so, and then a new leech shows up and the whole thing repeats again. It’s why I stopped seeding on publics: it’s extremely demoralizing to finally get copies of something out to the dozen or so people who have accumulated, only for every one of them to fuck off right after they finish.

If he’s the single seed left on a torrent, chances are he’s the last seed on a bunch of other torrents as well, and his bandwidth is being choked by everyone who wants his stuff.

tl;dw?

What I do is on the originator drive, I create new subdirectories and start categorizing items by content; like I’ll put all the ebooks into one directory, and all the television into another. It just makes it easier for me to find things later if I can just head to the drive with all the television on it.

If there’s a particular directory with a lot of content, I might create further divisions - maybe shows that are finished vs those who are still getting new episodes, or sitcoms vs drama, that kind of thing.

Then I make a list of how big each master directory is, and I start copying them over to the most appropriate-sized drive. I usually find that I can fit in one large directory, and a couple of smaller ones, and then the last drive gets all the leftovers. I also tape a post-it note to each drive saying something like “2022-23 television” or “science fiction audiobooks” or whatever.

I also create a new directory on the originating drive called something like ++COPIED and, once I’ve copied content to a new drive, I move the original directory to ++COPIED: I’ll still have access if I need it, but I don’t have to keep track of it any longer. Once everything is successfully copied over, I can just delete that one directory.

It’s a manual process, yes, but it does make it easier for me to find stuff when I want to look at it again later.

I think it’s more that they’ve increased the size of the drive from 10TB to 48TB.

The nice thing with MAM is that you can grab a torrent of groups of books, instead of downloading them individually.

getting in is not very easy

Dafuq? They run interviews twice a week, and the questions are dead easy.

many torrents are behind a VIP-wall

Which you just have to wait a few weeks to get past the account age restriction and hand over a few bonus points, which are trivial to get. Just bookmark anything you can’t get and have a little patience.
