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.

>>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?

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.

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.

Remember these shit? I had like 5 of them back in the late 1990s/early 2000s. Made regular backups of my back then huge 10gb HDD on a 8x speed CD burner. None of which I ever managed to read back after 3-5 years after I accidentally deleted a folder containing photos and I did not notice it for years. Plus every single magazine came with a CD or two every month.

I would say the last time I used optical media was 10+ years ago but that would be untrue. Hospital gave the MRI scan to me on a CD this year. Had to go to the attic to find a sufficiently old (and working) machine which had a working CD drive in it. Yay for not throwing anything out (except all the optical media I had, including like 100 blank RW CDs, DVDs).

after about a day of indexing and some development, i've made a simple open-source interface for searching TPA, albeit in a very rudimentary state (for now)
the index has metadata for an estimated 480k+ files including everything up to ~33% of /archive/youtube

I and the business are "debt free" but I'm still putting in more than TPA makes.
Subscribe Star started working again, numbers are back to what they were (genuinely no idea what happened there) So I'm only in the hole about 450 or so a month instead of 700.

48 bays of tape, supporting LTO 4, 6, and 8.
>what now
Uhh thankfully it works right now. I've been adding sections of iwiftp onto TPA so that it too will be included on our next tape release.
>tape anon
Hi anon, if you don't feel like purchasing a super expensive drive I'll happily write your tape for you for free. Just pay shipping on the tape. I suppose this offer only works though if you were interested in TPA / iwiftp (main pony things), getting me other data would require sending in a hard drive or two.
>save money on drives
I buy most of my stuff working on ebay, it's a lot cheaper but sometimes you do get bit by non working equipment. All of my loaders are HP MSL2024s but I'm probably going to only pick up IBM TS or Dell TL series later. They're the same internally but the IBM and Dell models can be reflashed to a BTD Flexstor II firmware - and that allows the autoloader to use ANY tape drives, not just specific brands. You can flash the HP ones too but then the front screen doesn't work lol.
>save money on tape
Don't. Used tape is a gamble that's only worth it on LTO5 and down, one 40 dollar used tape can shred a $600 used LTO6 drive.

Something that might be done about the certificates? They sometimes spout out warnings for being expired. It doesn't happen all too often, but it does occur.

The main issue there is that the automation for renewal/replacement just doesn't work. I've tried a few things to take it, but I need to wait for the cert to expire again to properly test it, and by the time that rolls around I've forgotten what I had tried already.

As long as the law doesn't specify the British Islands the law applies to the entire world. The only "limit" here is obviously Brits' inability to execute said law across borders, especially in the United "we rebelled against the crown" States

How the fuck do you guys access the pastes on horsewords.org? There's only 20 stories there that I can view and it says there's 61694 stories total, but switching pages doesn't do shit. Do I gotta make an account? There's only the option to log in, but not to sign up.

>>43167661
Agreed. Some things should not be joked about, especially if you're not going to update the page past April 1st.

BaFe's like, the best possible type of cassette chemically for archival (given you keep it far from magnetic sources in a metal box) what feels scammy is the WORM part because, unless of some tech or stuff I ignore about, a magnetic support can be erased and re-recorded a large number of times, until the tape wears out. which is why i enjoy magnetic storage for backups having an LTO tape on my PC from a server that does the job right, it's an originality.
>>43129529
when you have a chunk of TB to backup, it would take a few BluRays and organizing, I love optical too since it's a medium that will in some case outlive most of us. But in the idea, if you have backups of the past years, you just burn a new BD for the new uploads and comments. This also works!
Both are decent, but yeah 6Tb for less than 50bucks, sounds smart.

>>43170328
WORM isn't a "scam," it's designed for specific use cases like legal recordkeeping where the data must not be tampered with in any way. There is indeed nothing special about the tape in the cartridge, it's just about a) the low-level format and b) how it presents itself to the tape drive. But these are desirable things, rather than hindrances, if you're the target customers for WORM tape.

Zeit für a paar neue sachn!

The Website archive is in the process of being fully moved over to archive.org. I recently resolved a persistent upload issue with their support team. This will free around 12TB of space.
You can now find Tumblr, YouTube, and the Websites at https://archive.org/details/@iwiftp

The Image archives for Pony, Furry, and the Chinese animations are in the process of being fixed up and the download tasks being moved over to the new downloader instead of the 5 different pure bash scripts I wrote years ago and are 1000's of lines.
New features include:
- Proper usage of canonical site IDs
- Support for all file types these sites allow in upload
- Proper naming of main and auxiallry files , exempli gratia (name).api.json, (name).comments.json, (name).description.json, etc cetera
- More useful handling of errors, retries, and so forth
- Actual user interface
- Built in de-duplication due to the use of content addressable storage
At some point it will switch over and greatly reduce the amount of space taken.

Tape Anon here. Starting to make some progress with the tapes. I think I may have changed my mind on LTFS. I really like that there are tools built directly into Linux (mt tar) to interface with LTO drives and I think I want to use them. Planning on making some simple bash scripts to make working with them a bit easier.

My current quandary that I'm working on is appending data to tapes with content already on them. There are two different ways to accomplish this. You can use tar and append to the archive itself or you can use mt to advance to eom, write a file marker and create a new tar archive separate from the first. From what I read the first option is a bit more dicey in terms of getting it right and not corrupting existing data. So I'm thinking I will use the second method and write every file to it's own tar (supposed to be better for seeking as well). However this does complicate file extraction as I will need to iterate over all the archives on the tape, using mt in between to advance to the start of the next archive.

Where do you even plan to store these tapes? Have you made sure humidity and temperature will be okay year round?

I plan on storing them in their cases in a drawer. I live in a very mild climate, so temperature should be fine. Maybe for a few days in August it may be just above 73f recommended max. The only problem might be the high humidity here. I suppose I could store it with one of the mini closet dehumidifier packs if I were that worried about it.

Up.

>>43173041
In a good or in a bad way?

>>43174548
For pretty much all of their post-Soviet history they were worse (worse economy that only exists on Russian bailouts, worse freedums (only European nation to still do death penalties), etc)
As of now they are slightly better because (a) Russian censorship of the Internet is too draconian and (b) they aren't as heavily sanctioned as Russia, lmao

>>43174798
Interesting. The only thing I heard about the place is that didn't go bananas like the rest of the world when the whole corona circus was making its rounds.

>>43174934
yeah Lukashenko & co. realized that the rest of Europe are so bad they might as well be less retarded with their authoritarianism
for example iirc he's REALLY into crypto, while Russian Duma (parliament) is currently thinking of ways to kill the entire cryptomarket even though sanctions made USDT and other coins mandatory for international purchases; They themselves use it ffs

how to fix a sluggish server

>>43177851
This site could use that too at the moment. It reacts very slowly in the last few days.

>>43178425
>he doesn't know who ynh is

>>43178541
What?

>>43178882
yournamehere (ynh) is a 4chan mod
"sluggish server" is a comment about current state of sys.4chan.org

>>43178887
they finally fixed it after 1 days and some more hours

>>43179448
It's pretty fucking far from fixed.
It takes minutes for a captcha to load, if it even loads.
Image uploads fail 9 times out of 10.

TPA now has starlink backup, why? I guess ponies matter in the apocalypse or something.
It was cheap, it's $5 / month for backup connectivity.
Also if it rains anymore my servers might be under some water (it's free water cooling)

Don't quote me on this as it's a second hand hunch, but apparently some social media sites will show your post to fewer people if you use no-no words. Won't somepony think of the advertisers?
It's funny and sad that they seem proud of this self-censorship.

>>43180179
The usual suspect is the panopticon. Surveillance moguls intentionally amplify everybody's neuroses. "Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are recording and reporting everything", right?
Or it may be poor writing skills. When people have no confidence in their ability to clearly communicate their attitudes using words alone, they will naturally seek out other means. It's worse with nazis because glowniggers are trying their damnedest to cleanse this word of any condemnation now. I wouldn't know myself how to succinctly communicate the idea of "nazis, and I mean it in a bad way" to a mixed group of antifa-hating victims of project gladio 2.0 and people free of that brain worm. Asterisks may be too heavy-handed for me, but the struggle is real.
Or it may be a broken feedback loop. You have old-fashioned languages that undergo renewal all the time, with people tabooing random words for made up reasons and pulling replacements out of their asses, and you have states and empires that force upon people hyper-normative languages that are constant in time in space. Something in people's souls may register the second type of languages as an anomaly and do what control loops do best: thoughtlessly put into overdrive everything that used to speed up the change of languages of the first kind. I don't know if it makes any linguistic sense, but it's a fun idea to play with.

>>43180179
I suspect it has a lot to do with YouTube and other major services where posters have to dance around arbitrary censors on the platform. The ass trick users are just copying what they see content creators use.

Bumo.
