I use LTO for my 70TB of data. My rig is done on the cheap. I got an LTO 5 drive external off ebay for around 500. SAS card and a really old cheap HP desktop for about 50. Works perfectly, I have done a full system restore from backups and the tapes are cheap. Have had this system working for 5 years now.

In the future i plan to upgrade to LTO 7 when the drives become cheaper, but I have found it to be very reliable, great for making my backups and just so cool and fun to use.

Brilliant. Your RSS feed was very thoughtful, I have added to to my fresh rss so i will never miss anything. Really like your categories all stuff i am fascinated with.

Wow such a good site. Really interesting articles. Then I though to myself hmm… wish it had an RSS feed and it does, so perfect.

I look forward to reading any future articles.

I had the same trouble when looking for a NAS case that did not cost a fortune.I ended up buying a Gemini nas case from Ali Express.

Other than waiting a couple of weeks for it to arrive the price was around $140 USD and it is actually a really good case and mine holds 8 drives.

Nice to see the return of moth memes!

Thanks

I’m open to ideas, already got everything I can think of. Would love to be inspired

kind of getting ready for the day when the open web becomes pretty much unusable due to ai and id requirements

running the images through ollama using this model: gemma3:latest

It is working on cpu only and still gives a decent throughput

Might be worth a try.

The thing that has surprised me the most is how good this AI model is at accurately knowing what is in a picture when the model itself is only 3GB in size.

No i’m not just kind of thought it would be nice to have, that way if i ever need to make any cards or banners i have loads of stuff in every category, with no ugly AI pics like most search engine image searches show these days.

This feeds into my ultimate project which I think will take me all summer.

I plan to create a lan wide search that has kiwix, tube archivist, ubooquity, paperless, jellyfin, stock images and stash.

Then I would have a unified search point and i think it would make kiwix far more usable by not having to go to the specific zim first. BBut, it is a tricky project as some things are nice and have api’s others don’t

Gut reaction. Fear and Loathing. Just a perfect movie. It is pretty faithful to the book, Depp gives an amazing performance so close to the real Hunter it is spooky and the whole thing is just perfect in every way.

Unpopular answer, but Unraid; as i have mixed sized drives.

I agree there is a lot of annoying hype. However i also agree there are some specific use cases where it can be helpful.

I for one find it handy some times when i am writing bash scripts to do things on my system. I obviously check them before running but it does save time.

Although i do recommend running models locally if possible as it is obviously preferable from a privacy and cost standpoint.

Nice a real step forward for private communication.

Would be awesome if it ever has a messaging section without having to make a call, still, an awesome start!

Wow so awesome going to try it out.
