- Comment on How does streaming compare to "analog"? 6 days ago:
But that’s even more true for broadcast. One 2.3kW transmitter works just as well for one receiver as it does for 10M. Hell even 100M, depending on geography, population density, and frequency band. That’s not true of network infrastructure.

The reason I can’t let it go is because I actually would never find new music I like without it’s algorithm.
- Comment on The forgotten war on the Walkman 3 weeks ago:
They do indeed specify some sort of high voltage precision motor and a copper flywheel.
- Comment on The forgotten war on the Walkman 3 weeks ago:
It’s probably true for the head, but at least coming from Fiio there’s a good chance the rest of the system (motor, flywheel, etc) is top notch at least.

How’s the Fiio player? Also crappy heads?
- Comment on Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? 4 weeks ago:
Ultrasonic and DSub(2000) both do. It’s so incredibly useful on roadtrips. Works really really well. I have the app live on the as card in my phone and keep the cache at a massive 100Gb, I have all my favorite music stores, in flac, ready to go at all times.
- Comment on Dedicated music server or all-in-one media server? 4 weeks ago:
Clients often are better suited for music, specially for mobile. For example with Subsonic clients (Navidrome, Gonic, etc), the client aggressively caches the queued songs, which is super helpful when there are hiccups in the network while traveling. A few clients allow me to configure the cache size, allow me to mark some titles are always cached, allow me to browse the cache (case I don’t have network at all). It’s just way better suited for music.
And on the desktop clients are way lighter weight.

- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 5 weeks ago:
Thanks :)
I think they are kind of neat. Large volume cold storage is a big issue for home gamers/self hosters. Storage, at scale, can be very expensive and so hard to backup. Tapes are great, but incredibly fucking expensive (the tapes no so bad, but the drives are thousands of dollars… Used!) So I really wish high capacity BluRay M-Discs were more prevalent, market at scale would easily drive down the cost of the media, and the drives are/were already cheap. Unfortunately seeing the trajectory optical medias are in right now, that’s very unlikely to happen :(

Just throwing the 1000 years mark is a kinda of marketing. But the cool thing is there’s actual science behind it.
But the issue with writable optical discs is that the substrate is based on organic material. These material, usually a cyano group, oxidize over time. You can help slow that does by keeping them out of the sun, prevent heat cycles, etc. But short of storing them in nitrigen they will eventually oxidize. What’s more, CDs have their data layer completely exposed on top making the problem even more pronounced. DVDs and Blu-ray at least have a layer of plastic on top of the data layer, but that’s obviously still not 100% impermeable to oxygen.
M-Discs on the other hand use a carbon glass for the data layer. Something that doesn’t oxidize. Heat cycling night form cracks in it, so yeah I would avoid significant heat/cold cycles if you want them to last, but past that they should be really fucking stable.
It is 100 years? 500? 999? Maybe, but it’s kind of irrelevant. In optimal storage conditions (which are easily achievable) they should last many lifetimes.
- Comment on Adding drive for raid 1 to LUKS? 5 weeks ago:
Yes it’s totally possible, you can stack mdadm, lvm, and luks (an Infact stack them in any order you want - not that all combinations make sense).
However you will need to make a backup of your disk first to create the mdadm raid1 since most likely you would like the raid to be first.
- Comment on Canadian/German/Mexican Initiative 5 weeks ago:
Yeah it’s not like the WV Westfalia that had you sit over the front wheel where the only choice for crumple zones was your legs.
When they made the new beattle it had a very similar shape as well. I see no reasons why it couldn’t be made with modern safety standards with very minimal changes to the exterior body. Obviously, I’m not a member of the SAE.

M-Disks are rate for one thousand years. Unlike other writable optical meidaz it doesn’t use an organic substrate. It’s carbon glass, very stable.

That’s not entirely true, some do in fact use water cooling. There’s even “of the shelf” solutions from Supermicro.
