I’m late to the party but damn that’s a kick to the balls. For subdl I noticed there’s also an org version, do you happen to know if they’re related to each other?
Yeah their MX series have been nice to me

Just saw the edit and if you don’t want to go the router route + LAN for some reason guess another option would be a ucb c dock that allows power pass through. I have an anker one that I use on occasion and recommend it. You can then either get an external drive or a SD card.
Pretty sure some even have an SD card slot too so even less weight to carry
Kinda doubt that tbh think at most 15-20 years then we’ll look at USB A like how we see serial today. We’re still in the infancy stages of companies phasing it out even though it started like 8 years ago.
This looks promising. I keep some media on an external, encrypted ssd when I travel and just been relying on making a note of the episode and using haruna’s playback time feature.
How much data are we talking about and how convenient do you want it? I just learned about the storagebox service that another user posted but personally I brought used large capacity drive for cheap and keep them offsite but that’s just because I have less than 4 terabytes of data still. Anything above that I’ll commit to the storagebox service
The ol skin flute
Damn never heard of them looks great. Is there any catch or is it like a small company that might go out of business in a few years? I still haven’t had to backup more then 4tb but once I do get up to those numbers they might be the best option compared to offsite hard drives like I been doing
Agree 100% about the smart data and hate the excuse of “I have too many drives…” but I guess I understand since they’re a wholesaler. They mostly rely on their vendors for the testing. The only words of advise I can give since I was in the same exact shoes as you a couple months ago is this on ebay: stick to known sellers (serverpartsdeals and goharddrives are the big, reliable ones on there), aim for something less than 5 years old since actual powered on hours aren’t really reliable like miles on a car, look for a seller warranty and a free return policy not a manufacturer warranty since they were kinda a bitch to deal with, make sure you message them about packaging the drives correctly (bubblewrap + antistatic bag + box) can’t tell how many of them thought it was fine sending a drive in a yellow bubblewrap envelope, and the biggest one is multiple drives since you already have that covered I don’t need to explain it. For 4tb I wouldn’t go anywhere above 35$ USD think that’s 33€ but could be wrong. I wish you luck
Dang was hoping to do that with mkvtoolnix. That way I could have 2 different resolutions of the same video in one file
Cathode ray dude did a great video on this the 90s were a magical time. There’s also a dvd version iirc
100% agree but personally seems like a hassle to get, exchanging giftcards or another crypto for monero, etc…, especially if you haven’t dipped your feet into the whole crypto world like me to begin with. For my personal threat model if i do end up liking mullvad, amazon vouchers will work just fine or if this whole mailing system works I’ll continue doing that. But yes you’re absolutely correct though
Gosh darn spudtacular, but for real thank you for the help. Think I was honestly overthinking everything. I have a standard envelope at home so I’ll just use that and get the stamp at the post office. It’ll be my first time sending out something in years so hopefully I do things correctly, haha
Wait til it rains then wear a hoodie and sun glasses lmao. Guess you can also hire a homeless guy/kid to do it for you
Yeah you’re right. Appreciate it thank you for your help
Yeah I read that but I’m just getting a little hung up in the details. Like what envelope to use and what stamps? I keep getting mixed result online, a standard us white envelope, an A4 yellow envelope, 3 forever stamps or an international stamp. It just confusing me a bit
Oh god thank you was thinking the same thing regarding the return address. I think I’ll be fine with amazon knowing that I paid for a VPN as long as mullvad doesn’t know about me but if the mailing process works smoothly I’ll continue going that route instead. I am really confused though on what stamps and envelopes should be used? Keep hearing “oh use 3 forever stamps or an international one” and “tape up a standard white envelope or use an A4 yellow envelope” I might just be over thinking but I have no idea
I can swear the pixel 6a still has at least 2 more years of security updates not sure if that’s considered to be soon eol but yeah that’s a solid setup
