2. Be civil
  • Understand the difference between a joke and an insult.
  • Do not harrass or attack members of the community for any reason.
  • Leave remarks of "peasantry" to the PCMR community. If you dislike an OS/service/application, attack the thing you dislike, not the individuals who use it. Some people may not have a choice.
  • Bigotry will not be tolerated.
  • These rules are somewhat loosened when the subject is a public figure. Still, do not attack their person or incite harrassment.
  • 3. Post Linux-related content
  • Including Unix and BSD.
  • Non-Linux content is acceptable as long as it makes a reference to Linux. For example, the poorly made mockery of sudo in Windows.
  • No porn. Even if you watch it on a Linux machine.
  • 4. No recent reposts
  • Everybody uses Arch btw, can't quit Vim, and wants to interject for a moment. You can stop now.

  • Please report posts and comments that break these rules!

    Wait, how? I have zero games installed on my 1TB laptop and still only have like 300GB free.

    [–] olafurp@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago (8 children)

    I want to get 2-4 TB because of torrents

    @olafurp @AlecSadler What kind of data hoader are you?!
    I mean, if you can afford that sure, but I find it unnecesary.
    Also, how do you plan to backup that much storage? just curious about the last one, I always find it hard to backup more than 100 GB of media

    [–] olafurp@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    Jellyfin hoarder type. My dream setup is something like 16TB bay with a Raspberri pi

    [–] guskikalola@social.vivaldi.net 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

    @olafurp I have 1TB SSD storage on my rpi and I delete series once I have watched them, otherwise I eventually run out of storage if I don't. Well, good luck, but maybe before upgrading your storage you should upgrade your home server, a rpi is powerfull but you will eventually face problems related to I/O and CPU limitations

    If you're not encoding and there's only like one or two users at a time, it's plenty. Now if you want to encode on the fly to a myriad of formats and serve your entire extended family and friends, then it will choke. But people rarely do that.

    @dustyData The RPi4 4GB model already struggles being me the only user, I have a bunch of services but RAM is not the problem nor is the cpu, the main problem in my case is the i/o limitation. I boot from the USB, while most operations don't suppose much load for the system, as soon as I start writing to the disk series or even update dockers the system starts to slow down.

    If 2-4 TB makes you think "data hoarder", you don't even want to know what the self-proclaimed data hoarders get up to. 10-20 TB drives aren't insanely expensive, and some of us have several of them.

    [–] AlecSadler@lemmy.world 1 points 11 months ago

    I have no movies, photos, or video games. I do have a lot of work-related things like cloned repos and stuff like Visual Studio and SQL Server.

    You want hoarder...my friend has over 120 TB in rack mount storage in his garage across multiple systems and NAS devices. It's insane.

    Have you seen the size of modern AAA games? Typical AAA games is like 100GB these days. Heck, Call of Duty is like 400GB.
