I thought HP Sauce referred to the Harry Potter franchise, which is a book about a UK orphaned teenager living with oppressive stepparents discovering the secret ingredient to making a delicious dipping sauce.

Amazon damaged their brand name once they started acting like a third-party marketplace. Now it's basically almost like ebay.

Tech has just reached the maturation point.

As with every industry, there's a point where there's enough growth for a win-win for the company and consumers, so consumers benefit with new features; once that dries up the company starts squeezing, so consumers endure new features and use the product despite the changes.

who the fuck would use Google’s search popularity as a metric for the popularity of a technology

that's been a leading indicator of popularity for a long time now.

damn how's your NAS configured? How many drives do you have?

Storage space isn't as big a problem for music - for me, tv shows are the main issue.

I like to rewatch shows a lot in the background - I like having The Office or How I Met Your Mother on while i'm doing chores or something, so I have a lot of shows stored. It takes a lot of HDD space, but I also don't have to pay for 3 different streaming services just to watch 3 shows

Seedboxes are typically a remotely hosted server in a strategically located datacentre, configured to provide users with a way to download and seed torrents more efficiently than at home.

You can rent a seedbox from a bunch of companies (monthly cost, less effort), or you can even set one up at home (one-off cost, more effort).

Here's a list of seedbox companies to check out:

  • Bytesized Hosting €14.00 / Month
  • Dediseedbox $10.00 / Month
  • EvoSeedbox $5.00 / Month
  • Feral Hosting £10.00 / Month
  • Giga-Rapid €0.99 / Month
  • HostingByDesign €6.59 / Month
  • RapidSeedboxes €8.00 / Month
  • SonicBit $2.15 / Month
  • The Seedbox €10.76 / Month

For a piracy-oriented community I'm surprised this isn't discussed as much.

Do you ever store media, or delete them after watching? How do you store them?

I personally have 12TB worth of hard drives (3x4TB) in a JBOD configuration. Been wanting to upgrade my hard drives (they're 6 years old) but I'm still a little skeptical of the helium drives and whether they will last...

Moral of the story, don’t fuck with people’s vacation time.

Just treat your employees well. How hard can that be?
