I love it. The smile of this one just makes me happy, like there are no worries in the world. Just the road ahead.

Never recording videos... That is outrageous ;) Interesting train of thought, though. Video is the main data hog on my drives. It's easy to mess up the compression. At the same time is combines audio, image and time in one easy to consume file. Personally, i would miss it.

Wow, that was a rabbit hole of information, links and ideas. Thanks a lot. I reached a point of what I would call "satisfaction" https://cdn.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documents/selecting-storage-media.pdf was back linked by Nestor and it seems to give me an idea of what I'll do next. Thanks again 👍

"The strength is in the diversity of the mediums" I like that. Should be part of the book of Zen for Backups. Thank you for your insights.

M-disk, never heard of that. I got a quick research done and it seems to be exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!

Interesting take on the test process. Never really thought of that. I just trusted in rsyncs error messages. Maybe I write a script to automate those checks. Thanks

Good advice. My off-site is my brother's place.

Checked it out, thanks. I have to figure out, how it compares to my rsync Script

So you would suggest to get bigger and bigger storages?
I really like and can embrace the philosophical part. I do delete rigorously data. At the same time, i once had a data lost, because I was young and stupid and tried to install Suse without an backup. I still am sad to not to be able to look at the images of me and my family from this time. I do look at those pictures/videos/recordings from time to time. It gives me a nice feeling of nostalgia. Also grounds me and shows me how much have changed.

That is an always ON approach? For example with an NAS? While that is a very save approach, it does not fit the idea of having something "on the shelf". Thank you for the advice though :)

Ugh, sounds icky. Thanks for the advice:)
Hi, I’m not sure if this is the right community for my question, but as my daily driver is Linux, it feels somewhat relevant. I have a lot of data on my backup drives, and recently added 50GB to my already 300GB of storage (I can already hear the comments about how low/high/boring that is). It's mostly family pictures, videos, and documents since 2004, much of which has already been compressed using self-made bash scripts (so it’s Linux-related ^^). I have a lot of data that I don’t need regular access to and won’t be changing anymore. I'm looking for a way to archive it securely, separate from my backup but still safe. My initial thought was to burn it onto DVDs, but that's quite outdated and DVDs don't hold much data. Blu-ray discs can store more, but I'm unsure about their longevity. Is there a better option? I'm looking for something immutable, safe, easy to use, and that will stand the test of time. I read about data crystals, but they seem to be still in the research phase and not available for consumers. What about using old hard drives? Don’t they need to be powered on every few months/years to maintain the magnetic charges? What do you think? How do you archive data that won’t change and doesn’t need to be very accessible? Cheers

That does looks nice 👍 I saw a video of a guy, installing reason on the deck! Would be grand, if there was an m8 smartphone App

Hey, thanks for this much information. I need to dig through that one by one.
The m8 seems to be capable of exporting the stems directly into the SD card which would makes mastering a breeze. The process with the opz is Time consuming: recording pattern by pattern, track by track ;(
I'll check out the liven Boxen right away, thanks for the Intel!

Oh, that's serious money on top! Thanks, that's exactly what I needed to know. Guess this pushes me back for a while. Until I am able to buy one on eBay.
Maybe you know the feeling of still being undecided and fully committed to buy new gear. For some time now this is me with the m8. Buying just new gear is not my thing actually. It took me 4 years to buy an op-z and I am absolutely happy with it. It took me a while though to figure out why. Because I make music mostly in reaper. But the op-z is just so beautifully transportable. But it does have some drawbacks, if one wants to make music on the way, it's great, producing the whole song, not so much - you probably know the term dawless. Well, I was looking for "it". Tried the polyend tracker/+ and I like the tracker mechanism, but the polyend is just not as portable as one wishes for. Now I am trying myself on a headless m8 and it's nice. Definitely my go to, IF it would be purchasable in Thomann... I am just scared of the import taxes from USA to EU. Anyone here ordered one to the EU and can tell about any taxes? Anyway, thanks for moderating this small community. ---------- update Well I was one of the lucky ones, who could get their hands on the preorder button fast enough. So in 2 months time I should have my m8 :D

I was 1/3 through and thought "again, a nice story." Then my eyes popped out, when SHE was the legendary soldier! What a tragedy, when she succumbed to the vile forces, in my point of view she earned a statuen in a guildhall of hammer dwarfs.
Looking forward to the next chapter. Maybe a screenshot of the entrance would be nice. Rock and stone!

That was a good read! The water trap is inspiring. I am curious what'll happen, when the girl is grown and about to unrevel the mysteries of her late father's death. Will it be revenge?!
So I found out, Ogres are able to breach doors. Yes, I didn't knew that... Fortunately, I had a dragon. I caught him and was preparing to build him a golden Chamber. He now roams free again. I lost all but two survivors. Wish them luck. aka. The Massacre of Kinsack. --- Edit Some migrants came to visit. The bad news hadn't spread yet. Together they tried to slay the seriously injured dragon. They all died.   
Hi, on a regularly basis I start a new game and leave my old site abondoned. They annoying part was always to redo the most basic work orders. Finally, I wrote a primitive bash script, which uses xdotool to add those work orders. It does have some drawbacks, it can only handle the first 17 items with conditions. After that, only adding new ones is possible, xdotool is not able to scroll down the window. One is able to change the coordinates of the buttons to be clicked, simply inside the script. Also it works in Linux only. Maybe it is of use for someone else.
Hi, just recently it's foss had an article about homelabs. Of course I digged in, since there is a small nuc working tirelessly in the corner of my routers closet. So far it just crawls some web pages for me and sends emails accordingly to my filters. So I hoped to find new exciting stuff to let it crunch through. The articles content did not spark my interest though. Well, I'd like to know what you are using on your homelab. In hope you'll do something I'd like to follow.
