GNU/Linux*
So guys, I am looking at some storage solutions for my new PC.
Right now I currently have a 1tb SSD that is gonna be my main boot drive / main gaming and reaction image drive.
And I'm looking to get a 5tb WD black for general storage.
My question is simple. What is the best cost effective solution for backups?
Is it worth it to get two 5tb drives and raid 1 them? Is it worth it to get a smaller drive and somehow back shit up in that? Or an external backup drive?
How do you guys handle your data backup, I do a lot of projects so backup would be important, I've never done backup before and I've been lucky not to have drive failure yet, this time I want to be more prepared if it does happen.
>>58874040
You don't have anything worth backing up.
>>58874040
>Or an external backup drive
The answer to that is almost always yes. You're not just guarding against drive failure, but also against literal emergencies - fires, etc.
>>58874040
Use cloud if you "seriously" have to back up something. Otherwise just get as big an SSD as you can.
At what age did you truly grow up and you dumped Windows? When did you become computer-literate enough to dump the training wheels and stop being a computer novice? What OS did you upgrade to?
I'm 20 and I think I'm ready to stop being a wintoddler. Did I mature too late?
>>58874004
it's never late anon, just do it.
You will NOT regret it
>unless you use shitbuntu
I like your threads, maki!
>>58874004
Tried ubuntu then debian then arch and reinstalled windows again in a span of 2 months when I was 14. 5 years later, its still comfy, why should I switch when I have all of the microsoft domains on my routers blacklist.
Why youtube doesn't make you disable adblock like many other illegal streaming sites? There's have to be a reason, because hypothetically they can
Because they would piss off a lot of people all at once and people would just block the adblock blocker anyway.
>>58873961
They already do, by delivering ads through the same domain as the website itself. This means the ads that play before and during videos can't be blocked via traditional methods anymore.
>>58874089
Really? I haven't seen a Youtube ad in ages.
if only it wasn't garbage
Why did they take away the "I'm feeling ducky" button?
That was the best part. Except for the bangs, of course.

Tech elite is more like tech enabled businessmen at this point, there are probably more tech elite people, these are just businessmen who also have god tech skills and know how to apply them to make money, that or they got lucky in their programs.
>all that talk about apple removing the stereo jack a while ago
Phones lacking a dedicated stereo jack was not uncommon at all before the popularization of smartphones.
So your argument is because back in the days it was the norm we should accept it now?
>>58872979
So because we didn't have vaccines back in the day, we shouldn't have them now?
>>58872979
So you literally admit that Apple is going backwards?

FAQ
>What is TempleOS?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MT7yvaGN0ZU [Embed]
TempleOS (formerly J Operating System, SparrowOS and LoseThos) is a biblical themed lightweight operating system created over the span of a decade by programmer Terry A. Davis.
>Why does TempleOS exist?
Development for TempleOS began in 2003 after Davis suffered from a series of manic episodes that left him briefly hospitalized for mental health issues.
Davis is a former atheist who believes that he can "talk with God" and that God told him the operating system he built was God's official temple. According to Davis TempleOS is of 'Divine' intellect due to the inspired nature of the code. According to Davis, God said to create the operating system with 640x480, 16 colors display and a single audio voice. The operating system was coded in a programming language developed by Davis in C/C++ called "HolyC". The OS runs a file system called "Red Sea".
>What can TempleOS do?
TempleOS deliberately has no network support. It runs 8-bit ASCII with graphics in source code and has a 2D and 3D graphics library, which run at 640x480 VGA with 16 colors. The OS contains numerous embedded biblical references including a program called AfterEgypt which allows users to "communicate with God" through an oracle.

If someone went through and removed all the biblical shit from templeos, i would consider it usable.
>inb4 "i want cia niggers to leave reee"

Work on Shrine and get it done.
>>58872582
At this point, shrine is probably trying to keep Tos stock, but just adding on. Also i dont know HolyC.
