  • I already have a setup at the house. This 16TB is basically the master cold storage for everything(~12GB of content and personal files) and gives me peace of mind. I can restore the server apps in twenty minutes with its local backups, but… the Jellyfin content, my books, roms, etc, need some parity.

    A few months later I might get another and make another copy. I usually buy refurb drives and test them out a bit before running them. I have pretty good luck with them. Most of the time, I’m writing the entire drive on first use so if there’s a problem, I’m gonna find it.


  • I bought two 16TB hard drives that I intend to fill with the content I generally pull down as I need it. Game roms, books, videos, a backup of Wikipedia(real). I’m already about 80% of the way there with preserving what I want to preserve. The other 16TB drive will be a copy. I can keep it in or around my toolbox at work just in case anything happens at the house, fire or flood, whatever.

    I don’t seriously consider content being harder to acquire in the Trump presidency considering that’s mostly the Middle East, India and Romania if SoulSeek is anything to go by, but it gives me peace of mind.

    As for spending… what spending?

    I’m poor, but I already only spend on utility and literally nothing else. It’s helpful, really. I don’t buy crap and always have money for what I need, but I know I’m the minority, here. I’m always willing to suffer if it means I have headroom, to my family’s constant worry.

    I cook constantly. I bake about two loaves of bread a week. My house generates baked goods on a constant basis for everyone around it, and I sell here and there. Flour is cheap, making variety is easy and everyone loves it.

    You wanna survive this shit?

    • quit streaming anything, pirate everything
    • effort is money
    • you don’t need it
    • only pay bills that can’t be garnished or risk repossession
    • name brand means poison
    • see an ad? Never buy the product. Fuck em.

    Run as close to the grain as possible. Don’t buy their shit. Don’t buy anything they’re associated with and if they try to control something, starve yourself of it. Fuck em. Don’t let the bastards win.





  • He claimed that the bill will stop what he called the Biden administration’s attempt to “replace biological sex with dangerous radical gender ideology.”

    bill attempts to stop something that was never occuring

    Holy shit, it worked and it hasn’t even been signed yet.

    I don’t know about y’all but I don’t remember Kamala or Biden directly spreading information in favor of lgbtq+ values. That’s mostly been Hollywood. There might be some lobbying going on and some shoulder rubbing, but… I mean, I have yet to even hear Biden say the word trans in any real context unless I’m wrong, here. Their stance is less a stance and more of a “you’re human, you’re cool too”.

    But the scene does seem to be that the Republican party can just claim they stopped Kaijus and Holy wars and their fanbases will eat it up, so…

    “Hey, my podcast said you didn’t exist yesterday.”

    …sorry to disappoint you.
