Yes, but not as an out of the box solution. Tape drives use standard sizes, and standard interfaces (often serial attached SCSI). You can buy a tape drive and a USB encloser that lets you put your own drive in it and the tape drive will work. You need to make sure the USB encloser provides enough power, is big enough, and has the correct interface, but it will "just work" if you select the right parts and plug them in. Do make sure you read the spec - some cheaper enclosers may not support USB3 data rates which you tape drive may need to work well.

The USB designers made the decision back in the day that they would not design a protocol for CDrom (then important), tape, or other such things. Instead they designed a "here is how to transmit SCSI over USB", which makes it cheap to design USB to SCSI adapters and that is what has been done.

Do you need tape? Do you really need that much data? Archival grade DVDs can store a few GB (an order of magnitude less than the TBs you asked for!), and probably easier to find/source.

Large companies still use tape for their large data sets. Tape has some useful advantages that make it worth it in very specific situations.

The first is when you have a lot of data - if you have several hundred of even thousands tapes (likely including duplicates!) then the quantity of data you have backed up is large enough the tapes are the cheapest.

The second - as hinted above - is duplicates. If you don't want the data lost a tape is a good answer to have several copies. While a disk might be cheaper, they are fragile and computers are not designed to swap disks that often. Even USB which is designed for swapping isn't that good: the connector will physically wear out a lot faster than you would expect making the costs much higher to manage this. Plus the labor to plug/unplug a lot of drives will get you.

Third, some tapes come in a write once form. If you have data that (often for legal reasons) you need to store such that it cannot be modified later then tape is often you best answer to ensure the data really wasn't changed. (either by an executive hiding their tracks, or an attacker trying to put ransomware on you).

That said, for most reading this, a few disks in a NAS is better than about 98% of people have and if you have snapshots on the NAS probably good enough for everything (your only risk is fire or theft of the NAS - if you cannot live with this get a second NAS elsewhere, or a cloud backup), similar cost, and has enough other useful features that you want it anyway.

I have never had luck with those things. If I must use them I epoxy them in. Mostly though I use metal anchors in concrete.

My problem is the content is there. Cppcon: in person our on YouTube. As is just about every other conference. Peertube is great when you can find something but only a tiny minority of what i want is there.

'This only Tony' disassembled one on YouTube a few years ago if you want to know what is inside. He didn't try to get it working after and if he doesn't have confidence in doing that, then you shouldn't either. As others said the pressures are dangerous, higher than your normal air compressor so what his videos to see what is inside them throw it away. They are fairly cheap considering.

Not what you are asking for, but maybe what you want: https://invidious.io/ is a youtube front end with some features that might or might not make it what you want.

Even hand coded projects need more than 6 months before I'll replace anything in my stacks. Too many projects start with great intention but then the founder gets bored (life gets in the way?) and they go unmaintained. Really I'm looking for projects that enough developers have got involved in that I can be confident it won't go stagnant. I could be one of those developers, but I don't have enough time to contribute to all the different projects I use (I barely have time to contribute to the one project I maintain)

It is only trials. Until we see the results we can't know. There have been vaccines that don't work. There have been vaccines with nasty side effects. Until we get data we have no idea of this really works in humans. Even if it works we don't know the risks - if any. Maybe this is good for high risk but not with it for low risk. Maybe this is wonderful and everyone should get it. For now we are just waiting and seeing

Depends but i would say quarter is way too much. Generally dimensioned lumber is close enough that right on is just fine but rough cut needs more tolerance. My habit was often a 32 less and the rest breaks off with no danger to the blade.

Circular saw with the blade set such that it just barely will cut all the way through.

I've been a professional before. Where it mattered we cut the ends off in place that same way.

From what I can tell of history cooking was a job that all cultures shared nearly equally between men and women - except for a short time in the 1950s when Americans called it a woman only task.

Note that individual families didn’t always share equally. Often one partner was better than the other, or the realities of how their family situation worked made one partner the better choice. However there was not gender/sex linked reason for any choice. (even the 1950s you could argue it was a primarily a woman only task because the reality of men expected to work outside the house while woman stayed home meant the reality of the situation - Men often would cook for parties held in the backyard)

Nearly all cultures had a concept of the men (and sometimes woman) going off alone for long enough that they would need to cook without the other sex. Most common this was war, but there were also religious gatherings that were sex segregated in some cultures.

Men’s work and Women’s work did exist in most cultures. However cooking never seems to be part of that.

Get lucky - just as this was starting I saw a failed disk notification on my NAS so I ordered a new drive just before they went up. Then I realized it was a stale notification for the drive I replaced a year ago so I have a spare should one fail.

somebody is going to want cash in

Maybe. The hard drive makers have long experience with boom-bust cycles. They are likely trying to figure out if this is real, or just a blip and in a two years (when the new factory opens!) demand drops again.

If there is new capacity in the future my guess (guess!) is that this is a case of a new factory to replace the old, and they just keep running the old for another year instead of scrapping it right away.

Start with a problem. What you trying to solve. Hosting music is different from backing up your computer. That is different from a home dashboard.

Because I have no idea if the questioner is going to do that beforehand

If you compare the cheapest burger to the most expesnive cut of steak or something they are. Often people do make such comparisons because they that is what they are cooking at home vs what they eat when they go out. You can buy premade frozen burgers you just microwave to cook as well - I've only seen the price in vending machines where they are more than a fast food burger but you can get them at grocery stores too.

But if you are cooking real meals with similar ingredients it is cheaper to cook at home.

Gfci or rewire.

If you put in a gfci I'd connec the ground to the metal box - wood is not a great ground but with the gfci doing safety purposes wood is enough for some things that want ground (that is a shield). If you can get a ground wire to enough places connected to enough different points it will fool most ground testers - remember that this is only useful if a gfci is providing safety and your goal is to fool the other reasons you want a ground.
