Let’s toss them in a lake! If they die they weren’t a witch! If they don’t… We then know they are a witch!

Either way… Huzzah!

Recently I had a server failure… I was in the middle of Sg-1.

So went to prime video to watch it…

It was 4:3 dark and the audio was horrible… Oh and ads. It has ads.

Gross :/

Honestly… We spend $35 or so if we order from them… so idk that it’s saving us anything.

Thanks!

I have not. I was a shucks.top guy for a long time and don’t currently neeeeed the extra space.

That being said I’ve seen enough different users linking both the Amazon drives and the serverpartdeals recerts and pulls https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/high-capacity-drives

That I won’t hesitate to look at them next time I need drives.

And of course as the other user said… bad blocks.

I don’t have any input on your download direction… But I wanted to share some drive links.

Folks on datahoarder love these drives… Dell Exos X18 18TB SATA 6Gb/s 7200RPM 3.5-inch Enterprise HDD - ST18000NM002J (Renewed) https://a.co/d/9LeBkx7

And recertified drives / server pulls on https://serverpartdeals.com/collections/manufacturer-recertified-drives

Might be a cheaper couple of options for expansion.

Huh I wondered. That makes a lot of sense.

The version I have looks and sounds so much better than the blurays I have… Tho like you said better audio, widescreen and I’m fairly certain it’s been ai upscaled as well. I’d have to go back and look but my physical disks don’t hold a candle…

That’s super tempting honestly. Idk that it benefits is at this point.

Such a great universe! :)

Man… Im watching Stargate sg1 with my kiddo. My Plex server is down for a bit… so I switched over to prime for an episode or two…

It’s dark, it’s audio is horrible, it’s 4:3 formatted it’s horribly compressed and it has commercials.

Talk about a poor viewing experience.

Not watching is better than watching…

100% the way to play video games these days.

Been sporting the 2017 version for ages. Snapraid / mergerfs and a bunch of drives

Docker compose on top of that with most of the arr’s and overseerr.

Good times.

This is the way…

Audiobookshelf is the tits

Edit: It’s so straightforward my hygienist wife can use it.

Won’t someone think of the shareholders!

That’s a great idea!! Thanks!

Ah I was just commenting back on how the relay for reddit deal went… that’s even shittier of them.

I’m not surprised at all.

Tldr They started charging 3rd party apps to use their API. The API that they had been using for ages and ages. They were shady about the timeline and their communication to devs was awful. So most 3rd party apps decided to end support as opposed to paying reddit.

Basically they wanted to make sure all users were seeing ads before their IPO.

I was a relay for reddit guy for ~10 years. Once the subscription update hit I uninstalled and moved to boost for lemmy.

I bought the app nzb360 it has popular, trending new shows and most anticipated sections for TV shows. And something similar for movies.

Idk… just wasn’t interested in being spammed. I’ve taken to using 10 minute mail for a lot of that stuff.

I’m not crazy super privacy minded… I just don’t want all the emails ever.

I used a toss away email address and signed up for this budget…

Basically you copy their master sheet and you get a Google doc… you enter your expenses and it tracks it month to month and annually. It’s pretty snazzy.

My wife and I did this for several years. It’s really nice to see where your money is going
