An interesting read. I hope they update us with more info as they look into it deeper.

Why does nano always get such hate. Surely as a quick simple text editor it does the job?

President Blair and his loyal PM Starmer would really be an improvement. 🤮

I just really wish the whole Susan thing had been tied up. So annoying to see her so briefly and never get the pay off.

Nice more Linux adoption is always good.

Congratulations. One of us, one of us, one of us.

Feels like we are shifting into a seriously locked down future of the internet. Where everything will require ID to do anything from seeing memes to eventually reading news sites. I cannot believe how quickly all this is happening and how co-ordinated it seems to be.

VPN’s work for now but what about when the EU and USA pass their restriction and censorship acts too, eventually there will be nowhere to VPN too. Does anyone have any advice other than hoarding what ever data and sites we can now while they are still available?

Wow perfect socks and nice distro ready to go. Awesome.

Charmed Season 8 and the introduction of Billie

I agree baroque music, programmer socks and a 1700’s French style wig for discussing Linux on Lemmy

Good read thanks.

I think the more posts the better as it helps to keep building momentum and fresh content.

Yeah they seem to be everywhere at the moment.

If you have a bigger budget around $2k something like LTO7 with 6TB tapes would be fantastic for larger data sets.

The lto 5 drives are around $400 on ebay and the tapes can be had for around $20 each - less if bought in bulk and each tape hold 1.5TB.

I don’t find it that slow as in the event of a restore like i am doing at the moment, I can get through around 3 tapes per 24 hours.

One thing I will say is although newer LTO standards allow you to treat it like a normal drive it works better using proper software designed for the task like Iperius Backup.

I have around 65TB backed up on LTO5 tapes. Found them very reliable when needed for a restore and great for an off-site backup.

However I would say it is overkill for anything under 20TB.

Great article very informative. Thank you.

I second material files. Great for network file access and no ads.

Such a great uplifting post. Thank you.

Thanks for the update some good news there.
