Data hoarding is a truly unique experience. Just my two cents
raid is not a backup. Don’t use raid5 unless you’re using a filesystem like zfs that checksums your data. Raid5 is vulnerable to scenarios with a “write hole” that leads to bit rot.
split up your dataset into smaller more manageable datasets so you can more easily back it up in different ways like external drives, cloud storage, etc. You can then limit the dataset size to never exceed the same of your backup target.
snapshots, use them. Snapshots in your filesystem can make your backups more manageable by only sending the differential data as opposed to something like Rsync which may need to rsync an entire file.
I use ZFS and have found that compression with ZSTD works pretty well for getting extra use out of your disks but unless you have a lot of RAM and some special metadata NVME disks, don’t use reduplication as it will be a serious performance impact.
Now if you aren’t using a FOSS system like truenas and instead you’re using a system like a qnap off the shelf, the qnap hybrid backup and sync manager has a really elegant solution for doing policy based differential backups to back blaze b2 storage. Not only does this give you a copy of your data, you also get immutable points in time archives of your data.
Good luck in your data hoarding endeavors!

Good to know. I won’t buy it. Yoho yoho I guess
This is old news but I do often think about the flaw in Tim Sweeney’s strategy to try and bully apple and Microsoft into making their platforms work his way.
Honestly Epic should have got in the Linux bandwagon years ago so they could provide their own hardware.
How unremarkable
It’s funny to me that we are not looking at the market beyond Sony Microsoft Nintendo.
Retro gaming handhelds for emulation are on the rise and large swaths of the market are gravitating to them. There is growth in gaming but it’s actually a growth in piracy. No one likes the new stuff.
Im pretty sure this method utilizes RDP. I’m thinking about getting an Intel ARC380 GPU for PCI-E pass through to a windows VM and doing the same thing. I’ve tested this with an Nvidia Tesla k80 (though it’s not a very practical card to have on a desktop). You should be able to get enhanced performance out of the VM if you enforce video encoding on GPU via group policy.
The only downsides are :
Steam users are the base everyone desires to get to but no one wants to pay the toll to Valve for building the platform gamers want.
Simultaneously were in the age of retro revivals with emulation being at its peak thanks to the open source software community and the absolute pile of handheld form factor consoles available in the market.
Every bad launch has damaged the industry as a whole. The reputation for PC gaming has been diminished by a thousand cuts. No one expects a game to be good on launch. Everyone has been burned at least once by this.
My vote is universal Blue and its spins like Bluefin or Bazzite
Can you tell if an AI is being trained on these Lemmy instances? How would you detect it and stop it?
Large language models are going to replace search. Naturally concise recommendations are easier for humans to interact with than a swath of web pages. The problem that you get here is this is going to disincentive the creation of new web content outside of the walled gardens we already have. The walls are just going to get higher.
150 million is nothing for what Linus has control over. That’s like the combined net worth of 100 of the top paid strippers in Vegas. (I’m going by vice documentary numbers)
Abso lutely. Microsoft and Google basically have a duopoly on corporate email and no one seems to care. I know this does seem relevant but trust me it is.
It’s funny especially because the attachment rate of the average gamer to a console is like less than 4 games. Microsoft killed their cash cow when they mismanaged Halo into oblivion. Players came to Xbox for Halo not the other way around. Once they had that audience they invested into them with more titles (like halo 3 and gears of war) and improved online experiences, by the time the 360 was done, Microsoft’s new direction for the console including the announcement (then retraction) of CD keys being their new killer feature, they lost the entire audience at the turn of the hardware generation. Players ended up mostly on PC at that point.
I’m noticing the language used over and over now is “live service” instead of “game”. I’m coming around to the idea that what they’re trying to do is replace the fact that a game used to be a “good” with it being a “service”. That accursed farms video from 5 years ago titled “games as a service is fraud” was spot on. Link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUAX0gnZ3Nw
I think Nintendo is dancing into dangerous territory here. I have a feeling this thing is going to be loaded with anti-features here specifically designed to curtail modding, piracy, and even unlicensed peripherals. The games themselves are going to get HD re-re-eleases and Nintendo will charge you full price again for the moderate upgrade.
