>>222600021this is less a problem with cloud storage itself and more of a problem with properly managing data storage, of which cloud storage should only be one component.
>>222600416I don't really see how cloud storage is ever a good idea.>Pay a subscription for some (((corporation))) to store all your data for you>They're probably using it or selling it to someone else without telling or paying you>They shut down one day for any number of reasons and you lose all your data>They randomly decide to delete your data to make space for new customers>Some idiot pajeet intern deletes your data by mistake>"Oh actually you signed away your rights to this data when you handed it over to us, no recourse for you! :)"You can always just store multiple copies and store them in different locations likely for just as cheap as cloud storage, if not for free depending on how much you need to store. PBS is likely run by a bunch of idiot boomers who all fell for the big tech grift after covid happened and every investment fund flooded the tech industry with free cash meaning every boomer's retirement fund is based on big tech's success so they all decided they now need to go all in on every dumb new tech grift.
>>222600568>idiot boomersYeah right, we should get zoomers to run the place.Zoomers who have panic attacks at the thought of having to work, and who don't know how to use computers.

>>222600416>>222600568One sentence destroyed my faith in all of cloud storage and made me instantly stop using it for anything:>You can store your data on your own computer or on someone else's computer; cloud storage is just someone else's computer.Seeing it actually phrased that way flipped a switch in my head that permanently turned me against cloud storage. I wouldn't store important files on my friend's computer, so why the fuck would I store them on some stranger's computer?
>>222600603>Eeeyup, I just bought another useless subscription service. If my lazy communist kids ever want a dime of my money they better come up with a subscription for me to sign up for before I spend it all on cloud storage for my facebook memes and subscription services for heated seats in my car
>>222600021I don’t get it. Why don’t they just go out and buy what they’ve lost on bluray?
>>222600021This isn't a digital problem, this is just a people being retarded problem.
>>222600568Its not so simple. Physical media has draw backs too, like physically taking space, climate control needs, and importantly it is way slower to access data when needed. This is why I mentioned properly managing data storage. Having data in the cloud is useful for being able to access it especially in this case for streaming etc. However, that shouldnt be the only place it is stored, and physical backups should be part of the storage solution. You will find multi-layered solutions in place for any company or organization with long-term data storage needs like insurance companies. banks, hospitals etc. It is a little suprising that PBS did not such an approach to archival footage, but then again PBS themselves was often not the creator/owner of the shows. A lot of shows, Sesame Street, Mr. Rodgers, Ken Burns, Bob Ross etc were all independently owned.
>>222600813>I wouldn't store important files on my friend's computer, so why the fuck would I store them on some stranger's computer?Don't forget that you're PAYING to store it on a stranger's computer. It's an absolutely absurd idea, which is why they came up with a fanciful name like "cloud storage" to make it sound like some kind of tech magic so the average person doesn't realize it's just paying to store their files on a stranger's computer and hoping nothing happens or that the stranger doesn't revoke your access.
>>222600881Physical media has draw backs! It takes space, slow to access, and needs climate control! Digital fixes all that! But still get physical anyways.What?
>>222600909The only reason it became prevalent is because normies take a million photos on their phones and it became feasible to offload it to a cloud service so they don't run out of space (which boomers and normies would struggle even conceptualizing). So the files get moved to their associated cloud service and then later they can saddle them with paying for more of that if they run out of that too.
>>222600909when companies pay other companies for things like this, they usually do so with contracts that dictate terms of things like data access, retention, contract termination etc. Since it appears that wasnt done in this case, it is further evidence that this was more of a human fuck up than than a technical one
>>222600021>the cloud service deleted it allWhat is this retarded ragebait from someone who didn't even read the article? The data is all in-tact, the problem is as far as the data center is concerned the owner of the data is the defunct 3rd party storage provider company, not any of that storage company's individual clients. A judge already laid out a framework for getting PBS access to the data and it's in-progress.>>222600568This post reeks of tech illiteracy. Your data is infinitely safer from accidental deletion or hardware failure with a cloud storage provider than any on-prem solution.
>>222600845In this particular instance, you're correct. But "buying" digital media nowadays is absolutely retarded. Look at what Sony did with PlayStation video:"We're tired of paying for servers that allow people to watch their movies on non-PlayStation consoles, so we're just gonna nuke em. Want to keep watching your movies? Buy a PlayStation">*2 years later*"Also, we're tired of paying the license fees to studios to lease their movies - so you're just gonna have to not be able to watch the stuff you paid for lol"You're never "buying" digital media - you're leasing a license to view it. At any moment, that license can be revoked and you're just fucked

>>222601335Well I'm sure most of that shit is from the 80s and 90s and each file is only a few MBs each at most.
>>222600747this>teehee i guess our current year CE is the only history now xD

Down the memory hole.The history rewriting has begun. That's why they're shredding books to feed the AI machine. They've publicly stated that the intent of AI is to monetize information.
Good, let it all fucking disappear. Nothing but woke garbage that should be forgotten about.

>>222600021>50tb>70 years of media where they storing their media as yiffy torrents? 50tb is nothing for that much content

Cloud storage is and always has been a trojan horse.The whole purpose of cloud storage is the same purpose as AI data centers, which is surveillance and separating you from ownership of your data.They don't actually care about the fidelity of your data, what they want is access to it, to train their AI models, and then to destroy it because cultural erasure is how they usher in a new world order and control.The old generations die, the last people who knew what a free world entails, to be replaced by third world children that are easily manipulated and controlled by the elites, who have the only access to information from the age before.
>>222600021Intentional. the past is problematic
>>222602971It always just felt extremely obvious to me that cloud storage was a bad idea and clearly exists for nefarious purposes. It just seems so hard to believe that any rational person would feel the need to use it, but sadly the average person is anything but rational.
>>222600950How do you even run out of space due to photography ? Like my 130 euro cheap phone came with 256gb of space, it's like 80000 3mb picture
>>222600651>>>222600021 (OP)>50 TB is nothing...A large chunk of that was probably in SD, and this is just history lost from the St. Louis PBS affiliate. Not the main PBS. I guess they lost a lot of pledge drives and St. Louis produced things.
i read this on orange reddit, it's not lost it's just they used a bunch of autistic faggots called iron mountain who refuse to hand over the data unless a court orders them to
>>222605385>A large chunk of that was probably in SD,The majority of the 'HD' stuff was probably only filmed at 720p, possibly up to the 2010's where they then switched to 1080p. Were they really storing everything at 4k?
>>222601912>the last cloud storage company won't give the data because they only signed the contract with the other cloud storage companymy god. so it really is pajeets all the way down?
It's probably too late for most people here given the price spike of HDDs, but archive EVERYTHING you can. Music, old books, old bits of western culture.The AI giants are going after your history.

>>222600021Why would they do that? Why would anyone trust OFFSITE storage???
>>222600021Apart from all the stuff which wasn't on the cloud server but still saved on the internet and other local storage, which is all of it.
>>222600813This, it’s also why holding money at a bank is regarded yet normgolems do it anyway.>I’m going to let strangers hold my money! Hopefully they left me have it back!So fucking stupid
>>222600568I'm pro physical but it means spending a lot to manage your data carefully or risk losing everything yourself. Researching a suitable cloud provider as a backup alongside your physical storage could be less risky and probably cheaper
>>222605704Heh. The channel that has its' data locked is NINE PBS. The stuff they lost is all supplemental content for their affiliate station, and probably some local St. Louis related things. The main PBS produced stuff is safe.
>>222600021>50 TBI know AI has ruined storage prices but how could PBS not afford to pay ~$2k to store their archive locally
>>222600021>50 TBthat's fucking nothingyou can buy like 2 or 3 hard drives to store it all, why even take a risk with cloud?
>>222600021>trusting the cloud with anything but a backup of your backupLmao>>222606618Very true it's frankly embarrassing
>>222605704THANK GOD
>>222600123I just realized it's not just Bey's expression that makes this funny, it's also the camera movement
And genuinely nothing was lost
It's a local PBS station, not the national PBS archives. Pic related is who the station put in charge of IT, so it likely was his decision to make the one cloud company, OSS, have the only copy of their files. Luckily OSS subcontracted the storage to Iron Mountain, who has the files but needs a court order to release them.

>>222600021This IS physical media dying. It's people destroying the physical because they're too trusting of the virtual, the digital. And now they see their grievous blunder. They will look at this as just as dumb as when they destroyed all the old Carson master tapes. Like a huge avoidable tragedy.
>>222600568It would be a much harder sell if there weren't already services like gmail, collab, google docs, office, and the like. Cloud storage ends up being one part of a suite of services that make computing really easy for people with low end devices, not much storage, etc. They get you addicted to their services pretty early on too. Most college students get free access to office 365 for example and that comes with a certain amount of cloud storage.

>>222610472I know you'll move the goal posts but yeah actually, sometimes your hardware just fucking fails. Time for a culture lesson Randoosh, "lemon" refers to something that comes out of the factory with a manufacturing defect, meaning you use it for a little bit and it fails early. If you've never owned something of value like a washing machine, car, or computer, then yeah I can see how you could fail to understand. Point being: it's hilarious how poor you are, lol.
>>222610522Bro just stop buying Seagate products. That's all there is to it.
>>222610522>hardware just fucking failsThis is the worst part of living in this timeline, and it is excessively difficult to get people, especially actual boomers, to understand. Both hardware and software no longer carry any expectation of reliability. Even bastions of reliability like Toyota are not immune. Its worse with software of course but its in the hardware space too. "Its only X amount of time old, it shouldnt fail like that"...No, it SHOULDNT but it did, for reasons...getting people to understand that everything is shit now is exhausting. You can get some approximations of old-world hardware quality but it will be expensive and even then still not be as reliable as things in the past.
>>222610581It doesn't matter what you pick anymore, even WD is slipshod and your chances of a factory defect are double digit percentages.

>>222610605Gonna need a source for that claim, chief. The only double digit percentage chance of your drive failing is if you cheap out and buy Seagate. This claim is confirmed by over 20 years of experience from everyone who has ever owned a Seagate HDD.

>>222610708It's cheaper to outsource cloud storage to a specialized service company and sue them if anything goes wrong, than hire a fat autistic retard and keep him on the payroll indefinitely to make sure your own server doesn't become the internet's town bicycle at best, and a legal liability at worst

>>222610899No I mean, Thames used old tapes to record new shows, losing hundreds of hours of television in the process forever (Some audios of the shows are still avialable tho).
>>222600021Surely there are places that are inscribing all of this data onto something physical and unalterable, so there is a real permanent record of the original data for all time? And then they can have cloud storage that constantly checks itself against the permanent storage.
>>222600021Cloud storage is literally the same as physical storage, only you’re paying somebody else to manage it for you. PBS is either going to pay someone jeets to manage their hard drives or pay some company to pay some jeets to manage their hard drives. It makes perfect sense for PBS and any other company to use cloud storage, because if their jeets fuck up they can’t do anything but fire them, but if the cloud storage companies jeets fuck up, at least they can sue the company.
>>222610917we figured out error checking when hard drives were the size of cars and only 20 kB. probably even before that
>>222600227you do it twice.But lol at people trusting cloud, a single mega-corp owning it all.

>>222600021Thanks for the Twitter caption, Ivan. Without that, people might read that it's just referring to a single PBS station and not PBS as a whole.
>>222611942>Realistically, when could HD prices reach a reasonable price again (I'm talking $15/TB)That's the best part, they're never going to go down again. Haven't you noticed prices never ever go down in any noticeable capacity? Once they're up, that's it faggot. Everyone pays out their ass for the new higher price, why would anyone ever go down?
>>222612320>Haven't you noticed prices never ever go down in any noticeable capacity? Once they're up, that's it faggotSSD prices crashed around the end of 2021 after they skyrocketed during the pandemic. I got three of crucial 4TBs for less that $90. I regret not buying more
>>222612347Even if AI crashes hard (it won't), drive and RAM prices won't go down in any noticeable capacity. Bite the bullet and buy your storage now if you really need it.
I really don't trust the cloud. Anything you actually care about stays local. All the shit that they want you to care about can go to hell and also stay online.
>>222610758You're not entirely wrong but live news broadcasts often let a lot of inconvenient truths slip out that need to get memory-holed later on because they hadn't fully fleshed out the script for the media puppets to recite just yet.
>>222600021>yikes.

Letting some globohomo corporation be the custodian of all your data is asking for trouble.>Back up old WWII documentaries>Owning "hate speech" becomes illegal>Old documentaries have facts that haven't been scrubbed/altered yet>Cloud storage company's AI monitoring system flags your data as illegal>Data is deleted, or worse, you're reported to the police and arrestedNever let globohomo store your data.
>>222600651i have 22TB internal and i'm just a stupid frog
>>222600568All cloud services are actively monitored. It's to look for cp and stuff like that, but yeah, they are watching all your vids and looking at all ypur photos and files, no matter how private.You have to be stupid to want to store important things with some abstract entity that owes you nothing, least of all loyalty.>>222600747Arthur specifically was always woke anyway. Not sure why people are romanticising the shitty show now.
>>22260065150tb in standard def would be well into the tens of thousands of individual episodes of tv maybe hundreds of thousands
>>222600227>transfer/backup shit regularly to a new drive every 5 yearswow that was very hard and difficult.
>>222600021too cheap to buy 50TB of HDDs kekPBS is dogshit(that means slop zoomers we already have a word for that) so this is good news.
>>222612467>>222612672children, we have been using rclone and google drive for these very things longer then youve been playing with your clits. Anything worth keeping is local + offsite, chuds
>>222613169It's pointless to buy 1 large HDD, better to have several smaller HDDs.
>>222612981I always hated Arthur even as a kid.
>>222600021>claimsthe storage was an opex line a little too expensive, some exec decided to stop paying to get his bonus and now they try to rewrite to story. They don't care about the archive but they need to save face.
>>222612632>just spend 100 hours re-ripping your mediaHere's a better idea: how about you stop being poor? $1,000 is nothing
>>222601896Just the one station. People younger than like 25 don't understand how traditional TV works so they get confused.
>>222600227this doesn't answer the more obvious concern of PBS not having any physical backups at all. any company with media as its main product should have physical and digital archives of literally everything they've ever produced
>>222610026im not going anywhere if anything im multiplying
>>222612981>Arthur specifically was always woke anywaygo on, I mean it was always a low tier show quality wise but how was it woke?
>>222600021Fake news. No data has been lost. They just don't have the legal authority to take back the hard drives because they stored them through a third party. Only the third party can request the drives.
>>222601981/pol/acks are retards and the sky is blue. nothing new there

>>222617514Spider-Man I'm the early 2000s after spending a day with minorities
>>222611942Friendly reminder that before Covid, AI, and retarded Trump taxes, a 2TB SSD would have been $$45 to $70 in 2026 if the trends of storage per GB trends continued.
>>222610831>zoomers 2nd in average subscription fees spent per month, majority of which is gaming (likely Playstation network and maybe gacha?)>boomers spend the most on news and magazinesIt shows millennials spending the most on premium bundles so I guess that means bundled streaming services.
>>222617514Back in the 90s the "respect minorities" messaging was always a single Very Special Episode about how blacks shouldn't join gangs and kill each other because it's sad, so stay in school.Even the shows with black leads were usually just white suburban people sitcoms with a race-swapped characters, and occasionally they'd do an episode where someone would use a racist slur at the kid's school and they'd pretend it was a big deal, or the dad would get pulled over by a cop and get treated like shit. A lot of the time both would happen in the same episode.The "gay" episode would either be "this guy as AIDS but you shouldn't treat him differently" or "this guy is gay and people are mean to him" and you'd spend the whole episode with the main cast being really invested in this brand new character's story and they'd set them up to be a series regular, just to kill that character at the end of the episode because nobody wants a gay main character.
>>222600021>This mass deletion was made possible by a grant from the jeet foundation
>>222618537>be gay>get killed off
>>222605704Lol I had no idea this existed
>>222600651>spanning 70 yearsAnything before 2000's is extremely minimal in file size due to resolution and audio. It's not all 4kUHD lmao
You need streaming services to watch programs your parents and grandparents watched for free on regular network basic tv.This was inevitable, Mr. Anderson.
>>222617496>Cloud storage is awesome because I can simply lose the legal authority to all of my data because I stored it with some cheap lazy scammers who just charged me extra to act as a middle man between me and the real storage companyAmazing stuff
>>222600021So this is how the new Dark Ages starts
>>222619703Literally every time.
>>222600021they should had gave it to the piracy community, they would had preserved it better.
>>222600021I always imagine the "oh fuck" moment they had when they realized this.
>>222620403The polar opposite of the moment when they decided their 70 years' worth of content was so unimportant they could just put it on cloud storage for 1/100th the cost of a warehouse.
>>222600021>PBS>50 TB of insidious commie propagandaAnd nothing of value of lost
>>222617514>Leftist in charge of not being disingenuous challenge: IMPOSSIBLE
>>222617514>Respect minorities>In 2024Minorities deserve zero respect by that point.
>>222612981This. Lmaoing at your life if you were a Transthur fan.
>>222618277>Democrats make something more expensive via taxes over and over again for 50+ years:D>Trump makes something outsourced to other countries more expensive once via TariffsD:<
does PBS even have any worthwhile content? not a big loss
>>222600021tfw just dropped 250 on Amazon 4k blu ray order
>>22260002150tb of storage is really not that much, why the fuck did they outsource it?
>>222620850NOVA, The Magic School Bus, Wishbone, and Arthur are certified kino.
>>222608403Yeah well it shouldn't be funded by those either
>>222612467The only cloud I use is a seedbox that I can throw without looking behindJust for downloading shit (until I get home and put on multiples drives I own) and seeding
the cloud is awesome. i love big tech and how they own all your data. im so glad thinking about how many people posting on here work in this sector and are all rich from doing such important work.
>>222620898I just bought a bin full of laserdiscs and vinyl records at a flea market
People retardedly think every PBS station is exactly the same or that local interests and histories are worthless. It must suck being a golem propagating the very trash they think they are raging against.
>>222608622Is funny because he just killed a nigger
>>222605704A BAT CREDIT CARD?!?!?!
>>222602181Maybe they airbrushed the tiny minuscule gun because it looks goofy next to those big arms.
>>222600021oh no all those sesame street episodes lost 4eva
>>222602971I had around 30 terabytes of quality self-produced amateur porn with dozens of different women automatically sent to iCloud. By the time I needed to access any of it because of physical device failure I was locked out because two-stage verification was enabled using a phone number whose last two digits were not from any number of mine in the last 25 years. A friendly pajeet informed me that there was nothing he could do even though the email address and account was mine.Tears in rain.
>>222622387Rip them and upload them to archive.org. There really isn't enough laserdisc rips, idk whats wrong with laserfags.
>>222623764Sucks. You do need at least two physical backups
Well that was pretty fucking stupid of them.
>>222600021Where's the 321?
>>222600021How Jewish can PBS get? They really haven't got their own backups and rely only on some 3rd party instead? I bet this is a company wide issue too. I hope the data is destroyed.
>>222610389>IT'S YOUR FAULT I DIDN'T BOTHER LEARN ANYTHING !
>>222612632>>222611663>>222611784the only archive for /wsg/https://archive.wakarimasen.moe/is gonethats why people become RAID fanatics. i lost 8tb of awesome /wsg/ content before i learned my lesson
>>222617514didnt spiderman 2002 imply that being gay was a weak and feminine and unmanly thing
>>222601172>Your data is infinitely safer from accidental deletion or hardware failure with a cloud storage provider than any on-prem solution.Do you have a single fact to back that up?
>>222600227>3 external devises>if 1 dies, replace:O
