Filled it up

Two things I wanted to share again:

• https://codeberg.org/jessienab/AwesomeListOfMusicRetailers

A collection-in-progress of music retailers offering music in high quality, accessible, and permanently ownable formats. More important than ever when streaming sites keep removing music or even lack music you want.

• https://codeberg.org/jessienab/MontrealQueerSocial

A collection-in-progress of various queer/LGBTQIA+ oriented and focused social groups, meetups, recurring events, etc. within the Montreal (Tiohtià:ke) and Greater Montreal area.

More additions to the Queer Social list GREATLY APPRECIATED!!! Especially from transmasc + non-lesbian/sapphic/transfem spaces and folks!!!

I can't wait to see my uploads exceed downloads !! This isn't too bad. #resist

I just downloaded every single #torrent from #SciOp and am ensuring that all of them are now in the #antifa torrent server.

btw does anyone want the complete 1.2 gigs of torrents from SciOp in one ZIP package?

My ISP is probably sending the Men in Black after seeing today's stats

Rebuilding the media library = 1.39TB downloaded in ~35 hours. My pfSense dashboard looks like I'm running a small datacenter (which... technically... )

RIP bandwidth cap myths, at least for now...

47 new torrents from https://sciop.net/datasets/ have been added to the antifa server!! 159 torrents are seeding.

So I just ran some encoding tests for #AV1 with #Handbrake, just to see how adjusting some various settings affects the outcome. I've named the files according to the options I changed. The ones with "film grain" options had the following added to "Additional options".

film-grain-denoise=0:film-grain=FOO

This is a particularly difficult scene in Django Unchained that is prone to banding with AV1.

Source was an 8-bit 1080p Bluray.

There are now 6x (donated) 14TBs in the server. Once the pool is balanced out, I'm heading to SciOp for more torrents!

Fixing to install 14TB hard drive #5 and #6 into the torrent server.

The RMA'd HDD replacement landed today and is surface scanning. HDD #5 completed its scan 100% OK. Once these two are ready, and the last two old 2TB drives are out of the pool, these go in. That leaves two slots left for new HDDs, but those are at least newer 6TB WD Purples I pulled out of a DVR.

A fresh (via donations) 14TB HDD for the antifa torrent server just landed, and is being surface scanned.

Thanks to additional donations, a 6th 14TB HDD has been ordered for the antifa torrent server. Thank you all immensely!

The antifa torrent server is busy!! Look at all that seeding. #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive #archiveeverything #digitalactivism #resistanceculture #dataprivacy #infofreedom #independentsource #preservememory #solidarity #nocensorship #archivethefuture #digitalsurvival #freespeech #antifascist #historyisours #digitalsovereignty #safespace #fightfascism

Putting out the call to my fellow TV show aficionados like @ryan

There's a show that my wife and I really loved that is impossible to find because of the rather unfortunate name of the show. It was called:

"Things I Hate About You"

It was on Bravo in 2004, and it was couples competing against one another to determine who was more annoying, with there being some arbitrary prize for the winner, and it was hosted by Mo Rocca.

Because of the name, almost every search automatically brings up things about 10 Things I Hate About You, the movie, and while I do love that movie too, that's not what I want.

I put the call out on Reddit a few years back and one of the contestants actually responded by uploading their own episode (that they had recorded themselves) to YouTube, so ONE episode of this still exists. Can anybody help?

3x 14TB datacenter drives installed so far! #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive #archiveeverything #digitalactivism #resistanceculture #dataprivacy #infofreedom #independentsource #preservememory #solidarity #nocensorship #archivethefuture #digitalsurvival #freespeech #antifascist #historyisours #digitalsovereignty #safespace #fightfascism

After spending Thursday and Friday in Philadelphia, to attend RE+, I'm back and able to get some of these new drives into the antifa torrent server. I intend to swap two of these into the server this weekend, which is good timing because another old drive is now failing as well. That's like five 2TB drives that have dropped in the last 6 months lol. Thank you all so much for your generous donations to make this project continue! #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive #archiveeverything #digitalactivism #resistanceculture #dataprivacy #infofreedom #independentsource #preservememory #solidarity #nocensorship #archivethefuture #digitalsurvival #freespeech #antifascist #historyisours #digitalsovereignty #safespace #fightfascism

Lots more #torrents from (https://sciop.net/datasets/) are downloading to #seed, filling that new donated HDD up. 20TB of public data under attack by #fascists is being seeded so far! #resist #fascism #datahoarder #digitalpreservation #archive

Thanks to many generous donations, I have begun inserting new torrents into the antifa server!

I still need more drives!!
