  • Disclaimer: this is not from experience so perhaps someone who do run servers with USB HDDs can comment on long term stability of USB as an interface.

    Technically speaking, even USB 3 gen 1 (5Gb/s (gigabits per sec)) is far more than enough to saturate a broadband connection (probably under 1Gb/s). Assuming you’re going to use mechanical HDDs, best case they can transfer around 200MB/s (that’s megabytes per sec)), so no problem there either.

    You might want to use external 3.5 inch HDDs as they have separate power supplies (less picky on power supplied from USB) and are much more likely to be CMR (which performs better than SMR, best if you check the specific model’s spec to make sure it is CMR) than 2.5 inch ones.











  • If Meta win this lawsuit, does it mean I can download some open source AI and claim that “These million 4k Blu-ray ISOs I torrented was just used to train my AI model”?

    Heck, if how you use the downloaded stuff is a factor, I can claim that I just torrented those files and never looked at them. It is more believable than Meta’s argument too, because, as a human, I do not have enough time to consume a million movies in my lifetime (probably, didn’t do the math) unlike AIs.

    But who am I kidding, I fully expect to be sued to hell and back if I were actually to do that.



  • As far as human is concerned Frieren was alive before reliably recorded history, and will go on to live so long for generations to come. To see her commenting “Elves are on a slow decline to extinction” I first feel sad, and then realize it’d be so slow it would be unimaginable to me.

    Frieren will probably live at least another 1,000 years. Will Frieren still be alive in 10,000 years? Will she have overcome elves’ lack of passion at least once and have an offspring during that time? If so, will her offspring goes on to live another 10,000 years? If elves will be going extinct, it’ll still be a long, long time in the future.

    EDIT:

    Next week will be the episode with the same name as the series title: “Sousou no Frieren”.
