Good read thanks.

I think the more posts the better as it helps to keep building momentum and fresh content.

Yeah they seem to be everywhere at the moment.

If you have a bigger budget around $2k something like LTO7 with 6TB tapes would be fantastic for larger data sets.

The lto 5 drives are around $400 on ebay and the tapes can be had for around $20 each - less if bought in bulk and each tape hold 1.5TB.

I don’t find it that slow as in the event of a restore like i am doing at the moment, I can get through around 3 tapes per 24 hours.

One thing I will say is although newer LTO standards allow you to treat it like a normal drive it works better using proper software designed for the task like Iperius Backup.

I have around 65TB backed up on LTO5 tapes. Found them very reliable when needed for a restore and great for an off-site backup.

However I would say it is overkill for anything under 20TB.

Great article very informative. Thank you.

I second material files. Great for network file access and no ads.

Such a great uplifting post. Thank you.

Thanks for the update some good news there.

I am so excited for this, finding this post made my day.

Wow definitely top tier programming socks

Building my own i3 8 bay build after finding a good cheap case called saggitarius on ali express

Mine too. Already priced a new build half the price just the data migration I’m not looking forward too.

Lovely retrospective. SC3000 is definitely the pinnacle of city builders. Still play it regularly.

I agree and I watch them myself. I do not claim to know how the female mind works lol

I am trying to get my wife to learn more about Linux. She likes Bread on Penguins but sadly can’t get her into DT, The Linux Experiment or even Gardiner. Therefore, I thought if i could find more female voices talking about Linux it may be more accessible for her.

Sorry I’m using it at the moment doing research for a Roman trading game I’m writing in BASIC.

Aww I guess i’m fine since i mainly write in BBC BASIC SDL lol

LibreOffice FTW screw Microshaft!
