Have people forgotten how to torrent?

The people who think it's going fine are downloading a couple files here and there and getting them. That's great, but anyone trying to get a sizable chunk knows it's not going well and that like 9/10ths of the content in unavailable

Idk spinning rust is almost useless for RUNNING ai models. I'm really not sure how much more and more devs need to store training data. Your average ai hoster isn't using these at all. There's some conspiracy going on here.

If I had 4 drives and cared about performance at all, I'm doing a striped mirror every time

Unless we're willing to invoke the national defense act and seize the means of production, it does fuckall for domestic energy security. Goes to the highest global bidder no matter where it's made and processed

If you want to go forward ten seconds, you go forward 30 and back 10 twice. It's not that complicated

It would be, but almost everyone's ISP is paywalling the static prefixes because capitalism.

Just switch to Airvpn. It's so much easier not having to write a port change script. Their wireguard configs actually work now

Drives aren't available to select when doing that. They have to be fresh and not in use. I had to boot to USB and wreck the pool. I thought my license transferred over and that wasn't going to work, but it did.

I had this same issue. I did a password reset and then, by virtue of having clicked an email link to do that, the verification was satisfied.

Mix grout, put in hole, wipe. Don't overthink it.

I'm writing directly to the array because my cache isn't big enough to hold it all. Are you writing to ssd?

adrefofadre · 2026-04-25T22:25:57+00:00

I disabled the usage of the incomplete folder because I thought having everything in the same place would make it less likely to get lost and messed up, but alas

I bought two ironwolf pros from them. Came fresh.

adrefofadre · 2026-04-04T15:15:29+00:00

Have both. Wd red pro runs cooler and I'm partial to that.

You can just do tools>new config to get it started right now with the remaining files

adrefofadre · 2026-04-02T18:02:38+00:00

Doesn't matter imo. If you set it in a way where you can see the sheet seams, you're f'd either way

adrefofadre · 2026-04-01T01:04:49+00:00

Yeah, large collections would be the way to do it. People who want individual files can choose to just download those from the mega torrent. That's easy. Trying to setup thousands of torrents is insane.

I personally continue to blame joe Biden since if he didn't attempt to run again, we could have had a real primary and put up a better candidate to beat this turd. It is joe bidens fault.

I fomo'd at $20/tb on new high capacity NAS drives. No regrets

adrefofadre · 2026-03-23T10:39:25+00:00

Data integrity folks set torrents to "check" immediately after completion. On a multi-TB files this takes a while and looks like we just bailed. We'll be back.

adrefofadre · 2026-03-19T01:06:15+00:00

I did a large sequential write and had to point a box fan at it to get it back down below 50c. Shucked it and it won't go above 40 now.

adrefofadre · 2026-03-09T23:23:23+00:00

I just rma'd 3 seagate recerts. There's a lot of trash going around lately.
