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!
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:)
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!
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.
In m opinion, practicing with real life problems is the best teacher. There are some ways to cut and convert videos, audio and images via terminal. Maybe there is still a way to enrich or streamline your workflow with that. Maybe a script which will prepare the folder of your next project. Also, xdotools let you automate a lot of sometimes tedious routines.
The mascot is ... something I did not expect. °_°
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.
