>Your personal expenses for hoarding data have nil correlation to piracy itself. Yes, that's true. My point was that I'm already spending a lot of money to pirate, and that I would…

I'm not complaining about the costs associated with this. I'm living well within my means. If I was concerned about the money I could probably spend more of my time to find the con…

I've already downloaded all the books. Now the challenge is indexing and sorting them.

Depends on the content. For popular crap that I'm probably going to delete later I generally go for the 10-15GB option as finding a decent rip at a lower file size can be annoying …

I already run archiveteam-warrior. I've actually contributed some code to a few things on that list.

I have already downloaded all of the books. Text compresses very well.

My copy of wikipedia is less than 100GB at the moment.

I've got one, but it's being used for other stuff.

My regular account is pretty closely related to me professionally. My current country does not activity prosecute piracy but there's no telling what the future will bring career wi…

My estimate is that it's idling at ~250w. I'm admittedly fudging the details a bit, right now archive-team-warrior is using a lot of CPU because it's archiving telegram, and that's…

Maybe there are better usenet services that don't get holes punched in their collections as much, but generally on usenet you get missing episodes over time.

How long do you think that's going to last?

I have a decent rip of The Expanse and an amazon prime account!

I don't disagree with that point, you could probably find everything I've got on sketchy streaming sites if you spent enough time.

That server does a lot of other stuff. Controls zigbee devices, runs a small intranet search, handles internet archiving workloads... The hard drives are the main power cost though…

It's not, I'm living well within my means. If I was concerned about the money I could probably spend more of my time to find the content on sketchy streaming sites like putlocker.

Ahh, fair enough. I meant it more as just a turn of phrase, implying that it's a sordid affair. A little bit implying that I was going again church heterodoxy, that there were pres…

Yep, I'm subscribed. I also do some digital archiving work (I don't want to get into specifics for anonymity sake), but since that's text it only takes up about 12TB right now. If …

While I appreciate the concern, I've got a fair bit of free time, and to be clear I'm not actually worried about the financial cost. I'm living well within my means. Tomorrow I'm g…

It's not actually a problem, by any means. I live quite comfortably. The point I'm really trying to make here is that I would pay for things if it was convenient to do so. I'm alre…

It's not a justification, just an explanation of what needs to change if people want me to pay for that content. Like I say I pretty much never pirate things if they're on steam, I…

I got a pretty nice case too. The computer was my old desktop when I upgraded, so I'm only sort of counting it. It wasn't a budget build.

Hard drive prices fluctuate a lot. I put this together in early 2018. In early 2018 an 8TB seagate drive cost ~$200 according to https://jcmit.net/diskprice.htm . I'm also counting…

I have a confession, I pirate a lot of content. Mostly TV/Movies. That being said, piracy is pretty expensive. I built a computer with ~30TB of hard drive space. That, conservative…
