Obligatory asking for a friend, how do you use mullvad to get around it? I cant seem to figure it out, despite reading online that vpns just kind of get around things like this by nature of how they work. Is there some obvious settings im missing or something? Gps is turned off on my phone.

My download and upload are both 500Mbps.

I am based in the UK and no matter which server I connect to, the max I can get is 350 download and upload. I have even tried servers in neighbouring countries such as Ireland, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Norway but they are no better.

DAITA and MULTIHOP are both turned off. I use Wireguard and have tried different ports but that didn't help either.

Recently I got an external hard drive of one tera, I tried to use it and in addition to the fact that I made some mistakes (such as trying to connect it to the usb2.0 port) once I managed to make it work, I saved the photos, videos and pdf that I had downloaded on my cell phone to free up space, also some usb sticks where I used to save the files of the cell phone, and it didn't work, only some files were Transferred and others just They were not Transferred, I tried one more time and nope, it failed again, so I formatted the external hard drive from ntfs to exfat, and now I was able to transfer the files, I thought my problems were solved but someone told me that exfat is a dangerous format prone to corrupting files and crashing, that ntfs is much safer and I should try to use that format again, What do you recommend?

Tsundoku - a Japanese term for the phenomenon of acquiring books but letting them pile up without reading them. This friend of mine, has 300 games for Mac in his storage... and he doesnt even have a mac!

All the best selling thriller books in both ePub + audio books.

Over 2,000 movies (and in 4K UHD with Dolby Atmos too) plus over 400 TV Series.

+1,000 PC Gamez from MicroProse F1 Grand Prix / Stunts until Forza

Surely ROMs too (SNES, PSP, Vita, PS3, ...)

Windows 1.0, 2, 3, 95, 98..... and surely Linux ISOs too, Solaris, Sun, Novell Netware, BeOS, QNX...

It's kinda sad not being able to consume all of it. I envy the guys that were able to monetize it in legal ways. (ie websites that can run win3.1 in javascript)

I'm glad I'm not like him.. He has 100TB of storage.

Me? just a 8GB flash drive with pics of girls that I'm meeting on Tinder.

I've been connecting an external 5TB HDD (WD) to my 2019 Shield Pro for my Plex library

I've decided to upgrade it to SSD for 2 reasons

Less likely to fail and it might be easier to seek in 50+ GB remux files

I just noticed that it would be cheaper where I live to buy a Samsung 990 Evo plus plus enclosure than buying a Samsung T7 or Crucial X9 pro I was originally planning, I usually leave the HDD connected 24/7 to the Shield and I intend to do the same for the SSD

Any downside to the 990 Evo Plus option I might be overlooking?

Is it possible to use publicly available data to use for analysis using R and publish?

I tried using the built-in feature, but it's too much. I've tried logging in from other devices, and it only shows one message. Anything helps.

After my last post, I understood that HDD is the better option for archival storage (like once or twice a year access).

But now that I started researching which kind of HDD is best for this purpose, GPT said that CMR ones are best so I was wondering if any HDD is CMR will it work for my purpose?

So if I can find the cheapest CMR HDD available near me then it would be the best possible drive (for my tight budget) or is there something else I need to consider?

The cheapest HDD that I can find which has CMR is WD23PURZ (WD Purple 2TB), will it be a good option for archival backup?

My use case is back up once and then few reads in a year.

Please help me out, this will clear my mind which HDD I need to purchase

Just bought my first big drive And aim to build a das raid or raid like thing How should I go about it? Different drive sizes and speeds (just in case I couldn’t get the same ones)

I have three 4TB drives and I need some redundancy for data protection. However while researching the topic I found out many people avoid RAID5 due to very long rebuild time ("your second drive will fail before rebuild finishes").

But the estimate numbers I found online contradict this, sort of, stating that rebuild time for RAID5 usually ranges from 24 to 36 hours. How is that possible that the two drives fail in a single day? Has anyone ever lost data to this scenario or this is just a hypothetical boogieman?

Drives are expensive where I live.
