I just started torrenting today and I feel a little stupid. I’m not incredibly computer savvy and I just want to make sure I’m doing things right. First of all I’m using Malwarebytes VPN, and when I went on a site to get torrents my ISP still sent harmful website warnings about the sites I was on, is this concerning? Also I’m using qBitTorrent and it downloads stuff pretty slow, is this normal?

Living in a country that doesn't have a certain streaming channel. Use Mullvad VPN to get the streamer. Get a message saying I can't watch because I'm using a VPN. Anybody willing to give a very layman explanation of how to solve this? Thanks!

I have MullvadVPN set to US and when I try change the region within TikTok settings it says:

was wondering, this website is still up (somehow), and it runs with a flash emulator plugin, such as Ruffle. But how would one go about actually downloading an offline version of this? Any attempts I've made result in the downloaders getting stuck at the 'get flash' screen.

Hey everyone, I’m pretty new to larger scale storage and I’m in the process of building a NAS. I got a 10 bay PC case and some components for super cheap, and that will be the main storage machine once I finish building it. It will be 10 3TB drives in raid 6 to start and I’m using HexOS. I think I have that all figured out, but backing up the NAS data is what I’m wondering about.

For now I really only have the ability to do one local backup with an optiplex 5040MT that I already have. The NAS will have a capacity of 24TB to start. I’m thinking of getting two 24TB drives for the optiplex to keep mirrored as the backup target. Is this a logical thing to do?

For context: My current storage needs are roughly 12TB between all the random drives I’ve accrued over the years. I’m hopping to centralize everything and have double the capacity of what I have now so I don’t have to think about it for a while.

I’m open to any and all suggestions, so please feel free to share any ideas. Thanks!

I rarely see par2 mentioned in this subreddit, how come? I was thinking about protecting my backup of photos and videos with par2deep, but seen the lack of posts about it, I was hesitant and wondering whether it was the right choice.

I think the general consensus is that TWIT will not be around much longer. They went from dozens of shows to only a few, and I think that at this point, they only have one actual employee besides the founder himself. It’s a shame since this was the original technology podcast and one of the first podcasts.

Is there any current project or previous project to try to get all of the audio and video episodes that are still available for download and archive them?

So, I have an HPE Ultrium LTO-8 drive and an LTO-7 tape broke off from the cartridge and now the entire tape is inside the drive on the spindle and unable to be spun back into the cartridge so it can be removed.

Anyone know anywhere in the Boston Area that might be able to do a repair on this? The drive it out of warranty by 3 years at this point, so really just want to get it back working and use it as a second drive after we buy a newer LTO-9 drive.

I have a support call logged with HPE, but not expecting it to be fruitful so looking for secondary options for a repair.

I researched the reddit a little bit and saw that there is a noise level difference between these two, but this is probably said for 7/24 writing/reading systems. That's the reason why i wanted to open this post.

I am thinking about putting one of them on my computer at my office (just as an archive, storing photos and stuff), which preferably needs to stay quiet. I already have a SSD for my system. Am i going to notice the noise difference between the two while doing nothing but using my computer? (without directly using the HDD, also copying and pasting stuff into it.)

Options:

1)Acer Predator GM7000 2TB ($85)

2)SK Hynix Platinum P41 2TB ($85)

3)Samsung PM9A1 MZ-VL22T0A 2TB (OEM 980 Pro) - ($75)

4)Crucial T500 CT2000T500SSD8 2TB ($88)

5)Fanxiang S770 2TB ($70)

The Fanxiang S770 2TB is the cheapest one, highest TBW. Not sure how I feek about the brand (had back luck with a chineese SSD a very long time ago). All have dram. But yeah do any come out here as a good deal? My initial plan was to get a T500. But I could get a GM7000. The OEM 980 pro doesnt seem worth it, it is cheap but a S770 is cheaper and seems to be better? Don't know much about the P41, doesn't seem as good as the GM7000?

I am looking for a OS drive, that will last as long as possible.

Trailer description:

For over 30 years, Marion Stokes obsessively and privately recorded American television news twenty-four hours a day. A civil rights-era radical who became fabulously wealthy and reclusive later in life, her obsession started with the Iranian Hostage Crisis in 1979—at the dawn of the twenty-four hour news cycle. It ended on December 14, 2012 as the Sandy Hook massacre played on television while Marion passed away. In between, Marion filled 70,000 VHS tapes, capturing revolutions, wars, triumphs, catastrophes, bloopers, talk shows and commercials that show us how television shaped the world of today and in the process tell us who we were.

A mystery in the form of a time capsule, RECORDER delves into the strange life of a woman for whom home taping was a form of activism to protect the truth (the public didn’t know it, but the networks had been disposing their archives for decades into the trashcan of history) and though her visionary and maddening project nearly tore her family apart, her extraordinary legacy is priceless.
