The coveted 5 9s of availability is only 5.26 minutes of downtime

I can proxy for you.

They don’t charge me tax and only $15 shipping. Then shipping within the EU is 15 euros max

I use UTC for all of my logs. Keeps it less confusing.

I only really listen to them while driving 3+ hours.

My mind needs some engagement or I’ll fall asleep.

I listen to Dark Net Diaries because I’m interested in Cyber security, this American life because of the varied stories, wait wait don’t tell me because it’s light hearted, and car talk because of the nostalgia. I’m planning on grabbing a prairie home companion because my father listened to it, makes me think of him.

That being said. Dark Net is becoming a little more dramatic than I’d like, but it’s still good content.

I have 2 x 20tb mirrored for hot storage

2 pools x 3 x 20tb in Z1 for warm backup.

And I have 2 x 14tb for cold storage

2 x 18tb at a remote location

All are refurbished drives

I’m running 160tb of refurbished Exos right now.

I throughout the years

2 x 10tb

2 x 14tb

3 x 16tb

12 x 18tb

8 x 20tb

I’ve only had 2 x 16tb fail within 500 hours. All other disks have 7k+ hours and are running fine.

As long as you manage your backups properly, you won’t need to worry.

Bought mine through server part deals. Their 2 year warranty is so painless. Shoot them the SN and smart data and you just swap disks.

If they don’t have the disk they just refund you completely.

Because NIPRNET sucks to do OSINT.

You don’t want to be in the military for anything PSYOPS.

You’d be better off as a contractor.
