I bought my last 14TB drive with them after buying new ones over the last 6 years. I definitely wish I would have heard about them sooner as I could have a lot more storage at a lot lower price if I had.

Considering this guy is looking to slap some drives into his personal computer in order to store some movies, who gives a shit if they’re enterprise drives or not? I have numerous 6 year old ‘junk’ drives in my server that haven’t given me a single issue the entire time powered on 24/7. It’s not like he’s looking for drives to put in a Facebook datacenter.
Don’t use Amazon or Ebay, use something like serverpartdeals.com so you know you’re not buying from some fly-by-night company that’ll disappear when you try to do a warranty claim.
$18/TB is a crazy high price. I’ve bought most of all my WD drives new for <$15/TB by waiting for sales on Easystore/Element drives
This type of shit drives me up the wall. I recall that Verizon has 3 different tiers of “unlimited data” which is all horseshit because “unlimited” means unlimited. I wish the FTC would grow some balls and go after companies falsely advertising like this.
They might ve referring to changing the settings for stuff like “active torrents” and maximum connections. I’ve fiddled with all this stuff but never really bothered digging into finding the ‘proper’ settings
Pretty much. I have 1080P Bluray for movies, two 720p for TV, and a “give me the lowest resolution available” for stuff my users request but I feel has little value (like reality TV). For TV I have two 720p profiles but one maxes out at 720p with only lower resolutions below the cutoff while the other includes 1080p but only if 720p isn’t available meaning they’re placed below 720p in order of priority.
Yes I was actually sad to leave Mullvad, and the developer was pretty cool about giving refunds, so I’d definitely go back if things changed in the future.
AirVPN does have port forwarding and is what I wound up switching to. So far, everything is working fine and there are a decent number of servers available.
A lot of the private trackers I use specifically block its usage.
NordVPN also doesn’t have port forwarding so you’re unlikely to be able to seed anything back. This’ll get you banned from private trackers and goes against the whole concept of torrenting.
Look into radarr and sonarr to handle all the media acquisition.
Provided it’s available in your location, and still being sold/produced. Furthermore Blurays are only going to be harder to find as time goes on with companies like Best Buy stating that they’ll no longer be selling them.
DNS is like a big phone book telling you that navigating to “google.com” = IP address 75.209.123.456, for example. Your ISP can see these requests and add information to them like ads. Using AdGuard DNS encrypts these requests so they can’t be modified.
Works the same for finding a burned out bulb on a string of Christmas lights too.
I think it’s more nefarious than that. Many departments want a good 'ol boys club where they’re the ultimate authority and they want their officers to fall in line rather than question department actions.
Funnily enough, his hairline resembles many of the product seals I’ve unsuccessfully tried to remove.
It’s not easier than configuring each one once and then letting them do all the work from there on out. Not trying to convince you to use them but they’re pretty damn great especially when you’re trying to watch multiple TV shows or see a movie that came out a lot sooner than you thought it would.
This is mostly unnecessary. I just slap the wall mount up into the studs, hang the TV, and use a $7 cable concealer to hide the power cord. Dedicated outlets for power and video behind the TV is great but that’s more suited for rich people or electricians.

I just use these to hide any cables and it makes them nearly invisible.
It would be nice if they included mounts, but the VESA mounting system is standardized and there are lots of different styles of mounts to fit your needs.
Or they funnel it all to GallowBoob or whoever his replacement is.
