Well, I do hope to re-resume development. Seems like I've been averaging a few months per year working on it.

Out of curiosity, what made you pick le snek language to write your booru in?

>>43124945
Most decisions for software used are based on what would make it easy for someone to set up and configure. That and I'm probably the most familiar with Python.

Anon who was inquiring about LTO tape here: I ended up buying an LTO-6 tape drive for around $300. I've not even got all the parts yet to try it out and I realize I've already made a mistake. So here's a bit of a PSA for others potentially interested in tape. Tape cartridges come in both R/W and WORM variants. You cannot format a tape with a filesystem if it is WORM. I was hoping to format with LTFS, hoewever I had purchased WORM carts. Glad I only purchased two to start out with. Also another quirk of the gen 6 LTO tapes in particular is that they can also come in two different chemistries. Metal particle or BaFe. BaFe is supposedly better and is what's used in newer generations. I'll probably post some more updates when I get things actually working.

>>43129375
Write Once Read Many?

>>43129381
Yes. I suppose I didn't notice the label at first, and even the R/W tapes I've read that the only way to delete is to reformat the whole tape. Which is fine. I don't plan on rewriting them. But I do want to be able to mount the tapes as a filesystem. They also have hardware write protect switches which is nice.

>>43129413
Why are you using tapes for that, why not just use M-Disc BD-Rs (or if it's small enough, DVD-Rs, they're somewhat sturdier even)? It's probably even more cost effective despite the fact you need more discs.

You're starting to notice just now? There's always been behind the scenes fuckery. It's to be expected when you have a site so big with so many different kinds of people... And admins and mods with a clear agenda they have to keep hidden

>>43129529
I plan to store around 50TB. Even with the largest 128gb discs, that's still 400 discs. Which is a lot compared to the 20 LTO-6 tapes it would take to store the same data. At around $12.5 per disc, that's $5000 plus the cost of a drive that can write those discs. Whereas with LTO-6 you can buy a pack of 20 for around $400. Equipment wise the drive cost $300, a fiber channel card cost $12, fiber channel cable cost $12, and a cleaning cart for $20.

Was it czu's Wikipe-tan quality thing?

>>43129529
Optical media is painfully slow to write and labour intensive. A tape can store many TB (largest ones are like 30TB) and there is no need to swap to a different disc every hour or two. Plus it's way way smaller than a 100 disc, much cheaper overall.
There is a reason why nobody is using optical media anymore.

>>43129926
Well if you need to store that much tapes probably make sense.

>>43130368
Tape is painfully slow to write AND read. There's little use case for it besides storing very large amounts of data that you plan to keep in rest for 10+ years. Otherwise just buy a HDD and swap all data to a new one every X years. Cheaper and faster, and also more future proof since the media and drive are not separate from each other.

>>43130396
>painfully slow to write
Show me an optical media which can write at 360Mbyte/sec.
>slow to read
Show me an optical media which can read 360Mbyte/sec.

Seeking is slow, not read or write. And we are comparing to optical media not HDDs. Don't change the goalpost. But since you changed the goalpost: failure rate of HDDs are astronomically higher than tape. Because if it dies you lost all the data on it (eg head crash, platters scratched). If the tape is torn, you only lost a section. The file system on a tape is also designed in a way that if you loose a section, you only lost that section. Only exception is the catalogue (which you should always have another backup of just in case).

>>43130409
Whatever, go spend thousands on something that is overkill for any home user's use case. Autism is a potent drug I guess.

>>43130396
>Tape is painfully slow
Actually not so. LTO6 is supposed to transfer at around 160mb/s. That's fast enough that a hard drive may not always be able to keep up when transferring data to tape.

>>43130413
>go spend thousands
LoL anon, have you checked prices lately?
A 12TB lto8 tape cartage is about 75€, while a 12TB hdd is 400€, br dl (the cheap one which rots away in 5 years) is about 500€ for 12TB.

Tape is cheaper after 120TB than br dl (which i remind you, you have to throw away and rewrite every 5 years), and cheaper after 180TB than hdds (which also craps themselves after every 10-15 year at best). Do the math. I included the cost of the tape drive itself (3500€) into the calculations.

So uh why is this on Wikipedia now?

And which one of you did it?

Did Czu responded to use it on Wikipedia? Because I think they need his permission to use it. I do not think Czu actually responded to this yet.

I don't think he cares lol.

oh anon

>>43131003
Are you saying that he purposely made it to be on Wikipedia? Because it seemed to me, that he was only supporting that one image of Wiki-tan mare being deleted. Not to be posted on a Wikipedia article.

I don't mind it being there, I was wondering if he gave the greenlight to post on Wikipedia.

At first, I also thought permission was required because the JPEG upload was labeled as CC0. However, that label was incorrect, and has since been fixed. Since the image incorporates a Wikipedia screenshot, it is a derivative work subject to Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0. As a result, it must be licensed under those terms, and neither Czu nor the uploader can relicense it as CC0.
>>43131015
Though he wouldn't have been so WP:BOLD as to put it up there himself, Czu has graciously provided me with the original-quality file with the express permission to upload it to Commons in order to replace the JPEG. As previously stated, CC BY-SA 4.0 applies, and so the Wikimare drawing incorporating a Wikipedia screenshot is exempt from the usual copyright release process.

>>43131015
if you don't think the thought of
>lol wouldn't it be funny if it got put on the page too
didn't go through his head at least once, you're goofy
also I'm pretty sure he would be one of the first people to know about it once it happened, since people would probably message him about it, and he hasn't seemed to say anything about wanting it taken down.

quick reminder that 4chan compresses files now when you post them, so is there a chance you could throw it up on poners or something? and thank you for the info by the way, good to have settled and nice to have the full pic

If you mean the censored edit I just posted, sure, I can upload it. As far as the original, uncensored pic, it's already been imported to Poner: https://ponerpics.org/images/7467465

I am /a/ GM, though likely not the GM you're thinking of in the context of Wikipedia.
PS: it's Issac, not Isaac.
>>43131082
In the brief window of time where the Commons page displayed CC0, there was a perceived need to send an explicit release confirming the license via email. However, now that the license has been clarified to be CC BY-SA 4.0, the release is no longer necessary. At this point, dealing with the mistakenly-sent email is an administrative matter for the Wikimedia Volunteer Response Team.

>>43131092
So you're Issac?

>>43131096
I'm unsure what could have brought you to that conclusion. I appreciate Issac's work, but to claim we're one and the same is a bit of a leap.
