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.
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.
All these companies play the frogs in a pot game. Slowly make things shittier and shittier in tiny increments and everyone’s sitting there in boiling water eventually like “this is fine.” I mean there’s still people with cable TV in 2024. And Netflix has done nothing but get worse for the last 3-4 years and their subscriber count just had a decent boost last year so they were like “lol sweet, we’re canceling basic ad free tier in 2024, eat shit”
It’s felt pretty damn nice to finally give all these companies the boot. They got too greedy. But there’ll still be hordes of people just happily paying an ever rising price for this stuff I guess.
Too late, we just canceled a couple months ago
Most decent new cars don’t have any major issues that would strand you on the side of the road for the first 10 years
Based on some other article I saw on this yesterday, my understanding was that GitHub was likely going to take them down for the BS DMCAs they were receiving, but maybe I misunderstood what I was reading.
I guess a positive outcome of this might be people more seriously considering alternatives to Github. Something about MS owning the defacto developer platform never sounded good to me.
Man that is nuts how thoroughly those guys are folding when they’ve done absolutely nothing illegal
This is just gonna be a Streisand Effect situation. Now I know about this app and it sounds pretty great.
Yeah I just plugged some of those playlists into JDownloader and got a shitload of stuff pretty easy
I’ve heard it is utter fucking trash
Yeah I’ve recently gone the self hosted route for video and may go for audio soon too, but not quite there yet. I think for now I can deal with the few minor annoyances I have with Overcast.
What I’d really like to see someone crack is an machine learning prodcast player that can snip out ads. A few of the podcasts I like have gotten fucking insufferable for ads lately.
Yeah the Pocketcasts pricing is stupid as hell. I’ve been having some issues with Overcast and was looking to switch but there’s no way that price is worth it.
Why tho?
Aren’t you German? If so you’d be using WhatsApp anyway
To each their own. I don’t care for the bulk of RAID setups or the transfer and seek time of individual spinning disks.
