Who are we?

We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

This is why we use RAID6 and not RAID5

[–] Finadil 2 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I use 5 at home, after all it's for things I could just 'acquire' again if needed.

[–] Majorllama 5 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean if it's things you can go get again why not party hard and just use RAID0?

Im just kidding that's such a pain in the ass if anything breaks.

It's not recklessness it's decentralized community based redundancy.

Well that's cheating. Easy to brag about internet speeds when you live inside of a data center lol.

That reminds me of an article from a few years back of this old woman in I wanna say Switzerland as well that at the time had the "fastest internet in the world". She said she used it to look up gardening tips lol.

I hope she had a dope garden.

🙊sorry

I'd guess she was from Norway, they have a way bigger fibre network than us and since longer time. Here you don’t have fibre if you are too far from a bigger city, yet. But at least we get about 1Gbit from our copper.

Our government took 3 billion dollars of our tax money to bolster our Internet infrastructure.

That was like 12 years ago. The money just vanished and they went "oops". God I wish we had fiber everywhere.

I used to have fiber but now I'm on lowly copper gigabit lol
