I just downloaded every single #torrent from #SciOp and am ensuring that all of them are now in the #antifa torrent server.

btw does anyone want the complete 1.2 gigs of torrents from SciOp in one ZIP package?

1 big SSD or multiple? New NAS build.

The antifa torrent server is filling up with preserved government data!

And now for our annual ‘Tape is still not dead’ update • The Register

Drive pool status in #antifa #torrent server. Balancing pretty well! Duplication mostly complete. Software is Stablebit Drivepool on Tiny10.

CALL TO ACTION!!

If anyone has some of these torrents downloaded from SciOp, please restart your client and seed!!

My ISP is probably sending the Men in Black after seeing today's stats

Rebuilding the media library = 1.39TB downloaded in ~35 hours. My pfSense dashboard looks like I'm running a small datacenter (which... technically... )

RIP bandwidth cap myths, at least for now...

47 new torrents from https://sciop.net/datasets/ have been added to the antifa server!! 159 torrents are seeding.

So I just ran some encoding tests for #AV1 with #Handbrake, just to see how adjusting some various settings affects the outcome. I've named the files according to the options I changed. The ones with "film grain" options had the following added to "Additional options".

film-grain-denoise=0:film-grain=FOO

This is a particularly difficult scene in Django Unchained that is prone to banding with AV1.

Source was an 8-bit 1080p Bluray.

There are now 6x (donated) 14TBs in the server. Once the pool is balanced out, I'm heading to SciOp for more torrents!

Fixing to install 14TB hard drive #5 and #6 into the torrent server.

The RMA'd HDD replacement landed today and is surface scanning. HDD #5 completed its scan 100% OK. Once these two are ready, and the last two old 2TB drives are out of the pool, these go in. That leaves two slots left for new HDDs, but those are at least newer 6TB WD Purples I pulled out of a DVR.

Torrent server status. Removing the final two 2TB drives from the pool to make room for the next two 14TB Data Center drives.

A fresh (via donations) 14TB HDD for the antifa torrent server just landed, and is being surface scanned.

Lucky data hoarder pays $360 for six 8TB WD external hard drives, lands five more for free — scores 11 shuckable HDDs for $4 per TB

Thanks to additional donations, a 6th 14TB HDD has been ordered for the antifa torrent server. Thank you all immensely!

The antifa torrent server is busy!! Look at all that seeding. #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive #archiveeverything #digitalactivism #resistanceculture #dataprivacy #infofreedom #independentsource #preservememory #solidarity #nocensorship #archivethefuture #digitalsurvival #freespeech #antifascist #historyisours #digitalsovereignty #safespace #fightfascism

Putting out the call to my fellow TV show aficionados like @ryan

There's a show that my wife and I really loved that is impossible to find because of the rather unfortunate name of the show. It was called:

"Things I Hate About You"

It was on Bravo in 2004, and it was couples competing against one another to determine who was more annoying, with there being some arbitrary prize for the winner, and it was hosted by Mo Rocca.

Because of the name, almost every search automatically brings up things about 10 Things I Hate About You, the movie, and while I do love that movie too, that's not what I want.

I put the call out on Reddit a few years back and one of the contestants actually responded by uploading their own episode (that they had recorded themselves) to YouTube, so ONE episode of this still exists. Can anybody help?
