i started out wanting to hate it but its still running on a loop after several minutes and i cant seem to get myself to close it, and now i am questioning so many things

As a norwegian who is back to pirating after a break of around 10-12 years, it is not primarily a cost issue. Hell with hardware investments it is costing me more tho that includes stuff for gaming (roms, i currently dont pirate pc games).

What it is is a service issue. Self curated collection of movies and shows beats the fragmented shit that is current streaming platforms not to mention the flood of utter garbage on tgese platforms you have to sift thru to find somethinf worth watching. Not to mention the privacy aspects and in general the "ownership" model (ie licensing without really knowing the terms).

Fuck that shit and im never getting fooled again.

Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.

ah rotating the drives can is a smart solution, that could be an option.

ah good to know. hopefully will not need the recovery but if i do i would like to avoid paying thousands, because then the idea of spending money to save time in case of emergency doesnt really work anymore

My impressions is that such fireproof safes are only fireproof for so long?

i have been planning on getting on though so could perhaps store the original local copy there for additional safety. depends on the space tho

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)

Ill check that out :)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

ah very nice, the sidebar is not visible by default on jerboa and i forgot to check this. great resource!

TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.

i think i am now prepared for what to come and will try to also watch season 1 but with the mindset that i can skip bad episodes.

I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.

getting much enjoyment out of lower decks now, but i can obviously tell there are many references i dont quite pick up on. If i end up watching it all, i will definitely go back and rewatch lower decks. Good point about few episodes, as i think i will try to squeeze in snw before i start tng-era.

Yea need to rewire my mindset there, but this is a recurring rec so i think it is one i definitely must heed!

hehe i at least assumed the more comedic aspects does not fit into the true star trek lore :p I think i have settled on starting from TNG and moving onto DS9 from there. Still considering SNW first since its not that many episodes.

be prepared for sudden urges for Rick Berman to “accidentally fall out an airlock”, if you know what I mean.

not really but it sounds like some soviet putin stuff!

Episodic is good!

Im prepared for slow start with TNG-era stuff, not sure if im prepared for TOS. But checking out a few episodes camt hurt, i guess i for some reason think i have to commit to one series from start to end and that is obviously not true
