Pirates always pirate. Free is always less expensive than Netflix.

So why posts like that? Why circlejerk about hating big-tech all the time?

Why do pirates even care about what Netflix does? They are not even using Netflix…

I refused to do any documentation for a long time because it made me feel stupid for not memorizing it. I learned it the hard way… Now I document everything possible with Git and Readmes.

Shipping massive film rolls is a logistical problem. And you can’t infinitely copy film rolls either. 70mm in theatres is an outdated format that’s not scallable for the future. Although I can see how 70mm improves picture quality even after digitizing to 4K: colors, contrast and dynamic range is much better.

I do backup like 1TB off-site. But it would still be a major blow if I lost the rest of it. I just try to live with that risk I’m fully aware exists.

I do weekly ZFS snapshots though and I’m very diligent on my smart tests and scrubs. I also have a UPS and a lot of power surge protection. And ECC Ram. It’s as safe as it gets. But having a backup would definitely be better, you’re right. I just can’t afford it for this much storage.

I don’t have Avengers 4K. It’s all just Linux ISOs.

In theory. But I already spent my pension for those 64TB drives (raidz2) xD. Getting off-site backup for all of that feels like such a waste of money (until you regret it). I know it isn’t a backup, but I’m praying the Raidz2 will be enough protection.

I’m just skipping that. How am I going to backup 48TB on an off-site backup?!

Tabbaco again?

Wow. “You must live in the US”. I don’t live there. You’re so incredibly naive and racist. Country of origin wasn’t even under discussion. I don’t even know what to respond to that.

Ony of my friends and myself are the only people that have pirated at least once in their life. None of my other friends have considered it or know how to do it.

Pirates live in a bubble and think everyone will just pirate as protest when they don’t like something. In reality, nobody cares. Nobody cares about piracy nor pirates.

Like anybody is going to pirate now just because of tariffs. Most people don’t even know how to do that.

What do you mean exactly? The majority of Hollywood movies are not actually filmed in Hollywood anymore.

What are you watching? Any recent recommendations?

Open-source projects like this require dozents of full-time developers. It will be dead without a company like Mozilla running it. Imagine the Linux kernel with only hobbyist developers…

If Mozilla is doomed, so is Firefox. You underestimate how complex Firefox is. It’s almost as complex as the Linux kernel.

There will always be flaws

You said it.

I have it behind a proxy and IPS. I force my users to have strong passwords. I don’t see why this would be a problem.
