  Feels like we are shifting into a seriously locked down future of the internet. Where everything will require ID to do anything from seeing memes to eventually reading news sites. I cannot believe how quickly all this is happening and how co-ordinated it seems to be.

  VPN’s work for now but what about when the EU and USA pass their restriction and censorship acts too, eventually there will be nowhere to VPN too. Does anyone have any advice other than hoarding what ever data and sites we can now while they are still available?

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

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

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tape drive backups⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  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.

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