For my particular niche (illustration) it has a way better concentration of active (and also importantly) high quality actual working professional artists on it than mastodon.

The art scene on mastodon is pretty meh and the largest art centric instance is run by unstable authoritarians that are some of the biggest sources of drama on mastodon.

To each their own. I don’t care for the bulk of RAID setups or the transfer and seek time of individual spinning disks.

Samsung is selling some somewhat affordable 8TB drives but I feel like that’s kind of an odd spot for size where it’ll hold a lot of stuff, but when you get to that level of kinda semi-deranged collector mentality file hoarding, you’re gonna blow past 8 pretty easily. I’m hoping it’ll actually happen in a few years.

I have not seen a consumer SSD of 10 or more TB for sale anywhere and absolutely not 20. So the answer is, I have no idea.

Samsung has started selling 8TB drives for around 500-600 which is really not that bad, but I’m just gonna wait a couple years for larger capacities to hit the market and skip 8. It’s in my opinion kind of a middling size if you’re archiving a lot of video.

For now I’ll just stick with the high capacity HDD setup I’m using.

You can’t really even find a 10+ TB SSD easily right now let alone anything approaching 20, so it’s a moot point for now anyway. All that pricing stuff is cyclical though. There was a big spike in SSD prices a couple years ago prior to that huge price drop we just saw. It’ll come back down again eventually.

We just moved over to a HDD setup recently because I had run out of space on SSD and the amount of space is great, but I forgot how much I hate HDD seek and transfer times and I’m not gonna invest in RAID for now so I guess this is my life.

Might be smart to maybe keep my most active shows on an SSD and the rest of the catalog on the HDD.

Honestly my biggest thing is for affordable 10 or even 20 TB SSDs to hit the market.

Yeah this is just childish bullshit journalism. Orban is for sure a piece of shit but like… who wrote this trash?

That’s how you know everything’s going great

It sounds annoying as fuck. I hate when my friends send audio messages in messaging apps.

Funny thing is that the mainstream threads audience would probably do more harm to the mastodon ecosystem by orders of magnitude.

There is a big cultural disconnect. I’m active in both and they are very different communities by and large.

Absolutely spot on teardown of this joke article.

The Russian monarchy ended about 39 years prior to the Hungarian Revolution in '56. The whole Russian Revolution thing and the murdering of the Romanovs and all that.

Well I sure have. Especially before multiple servers defederated with Lemmygrad and Hexbear.

As if tankies aren’t constantly simping for both Russia and China on here.

A little history refresher on the origin of the term

The term “tankie” was originally used by dissident Marxist–Leninists to describe members of the Communist Party of Great Britain (CPGB) who followed the party line of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (CPSU). Specifically, it was used to distinguish party members who spoke out in defense of the Soviet use of tanks to crush the Hungarian Revolution of 1956 and the 1968 Prague Spring uprising, or who more broadly adhered to pro-Soviet positions.

So specifically being a tankie and supporting fascist bullshit go hand in hand and always have.

Being that the exterior is some sort of stucco/earthen kind of material, it would have been refinished on the outside multiple times in 600 years. There’s buildings around 800 years old where I live that are in great condition because they’ve been well maintained. Also it’s pretty typical for old religious buildings to have been added onto and modified in phases. Quite a lot of the big old churches in Europe changed in design and grew in size over 100s of years, for example.

Definitely sucks trying to find good content in other languages. I’m a native english speaker, but live in the EU now and I’d like to watch more content in the local language to help with my learning. It’s just difficult to come by.

Yep I remember this pattern of behavior distinctly from last time.

One of the big ones that sticks out is you start seeing a lot of people claiming to be democrats or left aligned showing up all of a sudden and being big time concern trolls and talking about sitting out the election and/or claiming that there’s no difference between voting democrat or republican, which is demonstrably absolute horse shit.

And just a lot of added vitriol. It seems like even politically unrelated discussions get meaner and more argumentative. I expect it’s just gonna get worse as we get closer to November. It’s only the beginning February. Ugh.

Yeah I’ve encountered a few accounts lately who either have mental health issues or are bots designs to stir discord. Their entire posting history is divisive shit stirring.

Funny how every 4 years the internet gets markedly nastier. I wonder why???

Lol you’re not joking. TIL
