I create things.
@Molecular0079 I will probably use SSDs for my working storage (As it helps to have speed) but when it comes to Cold Storage / Long Term Storage due to the price of an SSD compared to an HDD I think it would be easier HDD as well as there’s some statistic I saw before about how HDDs last longer than SSDs, this might have changed in recent years but unless SSDs get cheaper per TB than HDDs I’ll have to probably use a mix for speed and size.
@Reborn2966 I think so from the 3 seconds I looked at it, I just don’t really want to use a Syncing method for anything as it complicates things as well as commonly does charge and I don’t really have spare cash for it…
@Molecular0079 I’ll keep that in mind, I hope to more use them for Cold Storage Purposes for my old Video Edits. I hope to create a NAS in the future what I will most likely pay out for these more Pricy drives that are made for 24/7 use.
@WeirdGoesPro Thanks, yeah I’m a video editor so I go through a lot of media files and will always need to call back to previous work this is why I need such large Drives as the average joe doesn’t really use more than 1TB as I can easily fill that up with only a few Projects. I have an old PC that I put Ubuntu on a year or so back to try out Linux, Personally have to use Windows due to using the Adobe Suite but if I can have my files stored on there and move/access them from my other PC that would be amazing.
Luckily I will be able to test the theory of this out shortly as I will have access to my home office soon with it almost finished being decorated, can’t wait to see what I can do and will probably put some updates on this Community.
@Reborn2966 I’m not using Rsync, I’m just using Sync a program/site under sync.com it was alright but the price does not justify what I was using it for and I’d much rather just pay for USB Hard Drives and maybe even build a NAS in the future.
@WeirdGoesPro Yeah it’s one of the reasons I hope to self-host, I’d rather know what my data is being used for but also it will be cheaper in the long run. I will have to look into the drive things you where saying about as I don’t know how to self-host on a NAS and really would love to move to a NAS in the future.
@chakan2 I know most of us are now Ex-Users
@sab It’s also about Quality, currently a lot of PeerTube Instances make you have a limit on how much space you have, if you self-host you can raise that limit to the amount of space you have. Most people who don’t create quality content might not last and possibly would just shut down their servers removing their content from the Fediverse.
But those who get donations and any other form of revenue would be able to keep going and even expand their storage if they need to allow their content to be a bigger part of the Fediverse.
Let’s take PewDiePie for instance, if he moved all his videos over to the Fediverse it would be only PewDiePie’s videos across the whole Fediverse but because of his money behind him, he can host them. Merch, Donations, and any other sponsorship could keep him running the server for another month, especially if someone already has or builds up a community of people that are willing to spend money on them.
@housepanther Yeah I think it will most likely be on a Tip based system unless people can work out something better for the Fediverse. It’s not that bad if it does become a Tip based system as long as people are willing to spend a little on the creators they enjoy sometimes.
@snooggums Yeah I sometimes use the browser on my phone to use Kbin but it would be good to have a fully function App in the near future.
@Nitrate55 I can’t wait to be able to use Kbin on the go, I’m really gonna have nothing be done at that point
@ralen_jor I’m glad to say that I will be slowly removing myself from not only META-based socials but also most Centralised ones as been enjoying the Fediverse so much better and I much prefer if people just message me through here.
@001100010010 Same, I’m always looking for people to talk too.
@sebi It’s trying to get people to keep up with it, it would be really hard to keep our smaller community of Fediverse users in control of what we are writing on Reddit as most of the current remaining Reddit users seem to rather not care or feel it’s to complex.
@svotay I feel as if Google has lost there touch on how to make the playstore good, Glad I only use it to download apps I already know I want to download instead of browsing to find new apps to try out.
@aggelalex As a person using YouTube Premium due to my family not understanding how to remove YouTube Ads from there devices, Yes yes it is.
@Ludo They can put the blocker for add blockers back on to force users to start watching ads.
Pretty much the reason to use Lemmy, Kbin or any other Fediverse based system.
