Now that HDDs are going up in price and storage is no longer cheap, I'm just gonna go ahead and trannycode all my FLACs to Opus and call it a day.
>>129474206storage will go down in price again before you'd be even done with that if you have a collection big enough to make it even worth doing
>>129474206>trannycodeYou should leave your house and touch grass.
>>129474206>he didn't build a NAS anytime between 2010-2025You were ngmi anyway
Is 256 kbps vbr opus enough?
>>129474369>he thinks prices will go downjust like after the COVID chip shortages right?
>>129475094 Thats too high, opus should be 96 kpbs
>neets and thirdies cant tank a small price hikeI got a new 6TB external backup a couple of weeks ago, I dont follow this stuff closely but it was about the price I expected. plus which, backing up my music library only fills 1/4 of it anyway.
>>129475370it will be fine, it will come down like the price of gold and silver. it will be back at normal numbers soon enough!dont panic, it is just doubling every two years now but that is just TEMPORARY.
>>129480406I'm thinking more like another 4-6 years, but we will not be spending those worrying about chip prices and once we have that luxus again, tech will have eaten itself on the failing the war effort, so there's no real storage demand anymore.
>fake shortage to increase pricesOil companies do this all the time and rake in billions.
i'm more careful in what i download now can't be filling my drives up with shit
>>129474206For the first time in my data hoarding life I'm actually considering deleting some things, namely all of the dance, game show and movie licensed Wii games in my ROM collection. I just can't get past the thought that I might need them some day. Like maybe I'll have children and they'll find the old Wii in the closet and have fun with all of the dance and rhythm games for an afternoon. And maybe I'll make friends some day and we could play all of the game show games together on retro nights. It could still happen. I might still need them.
