Moving media library to bigger HDD
  • Sorry I wanted bit to fast. Clonezilla will clone disk including huid (which can mess things up is you keep both in the pc). But then you can boot clonezilla, clone disk (has a flag -k1 for resizing partitions), remove the old disk, and should work without changing anything else. If you want to change the settings anyway, there are more options like DD. For clonezilla instructions, see https://clonezilla.org/fine-print-live-doc.php?path=./clonezilla-live/doc/03_Disk_to_disk_clone/00-prepare-clonezilla-live.doc#00-prepare-clonezilla-live.doc

  • Moving media library to bigger HDD
  • I would clone the second disk to the new disk (with gparted for instance) an then resize the partion to fit the disk. This way it would be a simple disk swap without needing to do anything else.

    PS: I think simply copying the files will go wrong with the hard links.

  • YouTube Says New 5-Second Video Load Delay Is Supposed to Punish Ad Blockers, Not Firefox Users
  • Same holds for YouTube. They just got rid of the only no ads subscription here. Which was half the price of premium. So they kick people out of that, and afterwards going to war with ad blockers... If they really wanted as much people as possible to pay, they would have kept that abbo. But probably it's better for them financially to have a bit more with ad blockers and ads and convert some to the premium tier

  • cross posting from reddit - any coders happy to put in some leg work?
  • While this is a bit different than what you are asking for, there is an instance focussed on archiving subreddits lemmit online faq post. That said, I like your idea, because it also puts Lemmy out there. So that maybe more will get familiar with it. And asking a poster is thay are fine with it can never hurt.

  • Are you going to try Meta's Threads?
  • Not totally true, the real value is combining data from different sources, but since the data they get wont have your email /ip/device/contacts etc it will be a lot harder to harvest usefully for advertising. Maybe they will figure out things to use it, but what they can use is already quite public, so they don't really need to federatie for that

  • how to block meta from mastodon
  • While I think I agree we shouldn 't just defederate them. This is for a user to block them. And if you tell users how they can block them, it will maybe take a bit of pressure away from admins to do it.

    During the first wave of Twitter refugees , there was a lot of explaining about ignoring and blocking users. Which can never hurt IMHO. Certainly because it can decrease the load on the volunteers that run an instance

  • Thoughts on build?
  • Yeah oke, that is quite a difference. If the 3600 is still available that is maybe an option to save some money and a bit better performance (larger cache). Gpu, hard to say, i m rocking an old one and advice from me would be pure guesswork on what future will hold for gaming

  • Twittergebruikers ervaren hinder van nieuwe beperkingen
  • Met de geruchten dat ze google niet betaalden en dat dat eind juni zou ophouden, lijkt het er wel op. Anders is heel toevallig. En dan zou denk ook wat beter gekeken worden wat redelijke limieten zijn in plaats van ze al 2 keer te wijzigen binnen een dag

  • Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?
  • I get that. Thats why i included that it is a bit different for smaller creators. So yes, we cant assume there are a lot of backups for if youtube decide to go more evil. But I think of you make your money with youtube, you should invest in storing your own backups. If only for if your channel get hacked and they delete al your videos and youtube cant/wont help to restore them. And that is why i get a bit sad if a big channel says something like this, because in my eyes its very bad practice to relay on yt for your backups. ( Assuming they dont do a seperate backup amd only just rip from yt because of ease of access).

  • Why all of a sudden tech companies are not being favorable to their users?
  • That is stupid. I get that smaller creators it maybe lesss feasible to backup. Because they don't make enough money. But a video file, certainly if you put same compression as yt, isn't that big. Say one gb per vid, that is 30 gb a month (say times 3 for redundency) you have less than 1tb a month, of lees than 60 bucks of storage drives a month. Small price pay for someone that has a million dollar studio to not be trusting on yt for your videos. But thay also disn't talk about the risk of putting your 2fa in the cloud, so i am not that surprised
