N-gated Hacker News May 15

Ah, #Meta, the benevolent overlord of data hoarding, is generously receiving a $3.3 billion tax break for its teeny-tiny $10 billion data fortress in #Louisiana. 😱👏 One has to wonder if they'll use the savings to buy more servers or just a bigger piggy bank for all those sweet, sweet #subsidies. 🤑🐷

Meta’s $10 billion Louisiana data center is getting $3.3 billion in tax breaks—more than seven years of the state’s entire police budget

States are awarding more than $5.6 billion annually to data center developers, and that’s a conservative estimate.

Linux Mint datahoarding/backup tip: "apt download" fetches the .deb files of both the package and its dependencies

#linuxmint #datahoarding

E.g.:

apt download vlc
apt download dolphin

Only problems are it requires sudo, it only works with one package at a time (so apt download vlc dolphin won't work), and the script that comes with it for easy installation runs apt (but replacing apt for dpkg -i solves that).

There's also apt-get download, which doesn't require sudo nor comes with a .sh file expecting apt, but it won't download dependencies either.

Hope it helps someone. =)

Looking at the rclone when migrating files off of the old disks onto the new ones is kinda interesting.

Esp. Because I'm very good at naming things...

I literally have no idea what these files are or where they come from at this point. But I'm also too afraid to just delete them.

I sometimes wonder how people with a looot of files keep their data sorted. I am always chaotic when it comes to organizing my files and systems like Johnny.Decimal are too complicated for me to stick with them.

What system do you use (if any) and which software do you use to store your data? i.e. Nextcloud, Synology Drive, Copyparty or something like that.

Getting my toesies wet with data

Appears I have way too many Linux ISOs. What do people whose storage space is filled with Linux ISOs do? Correct, they get more storage. My home server consists of a computer whose creator specifically designed it to extort currency from clients. This means I am unable to upgrade its measly 256gb internal storage. For a while I used a random NVMe to USB enclosure to extend my storage space by another random 256gb.

I've got an Archive Team Warrior running on my NAS, with 6 concurrent items. I've got the bandwidth, might as well share it.

After stepping back for a couple of years, my #datahoarding is back with a vengeance and I spent most of last night studying #yt-dlp's man page and updating my configuration 🤓
