@Natasha_Jay also it has very low energy consumption
@Natasha_Jay okay, but:
1. Technology can be useful if it's designed with people in mind
2. Do not mistake AI bullcrap for a low-cost SBC that could index a "library" like this easily if the software was properly optimized

That's it, that's my rant
@Natasha_Jay I support this kind: https://annas-archive.gd/ (that and my ebook reader...)
Anna’s Archive: LibGen (Library Genesis), Sci-Hub, Z-Library in one place - Anna’s Archive

The world’s largest open-source open-data library. Mirrors Sci-Hub, Library Genesis, Z-Library, and more.

@Natasha_Jay its only sad that this storage knows data corruption to. Must done by humans.
@Natasha_Jay
I support two different data center organizations with my membership fees 
@Natasha_Jay ... and the search engine has two eyes and can use text and audio for input/output. Also doesn't hallucinate.

@Natasha_Jay
Library (noun): A place where knowledge is treated as a public good and is made accessable to anyone for a small price or completely for free.

Because information shouldn't be capitalized by a select few while using up large amounts of ressources, destroying the environment and make everyone dumb at the same time.

@Natasha_Jay Just the smell of an open book makes my heart melt!

@Natasha_Jay

Can you imagine the paradise if they were intending to spend $2T on libraries over the next 5 years?

@johnzajac @Natasha_Jay the effect on that would be amazing, but they wouldn’t. Their goal is not the common good but the selfish gain of billionaires who have already exploited enough.

@bubacarrsowe @Natasha_Jay

I mean, we'd have to eat them and take their money first, obv

@Natasha_Jay can it store my 15tb of furry porn archive tho?
@Natasha_Jay
My wife, is a library volunteer.
I asked her if she knew about the data center in our little town. Then I showed her the library books pic.
So much fun for me. :)

@Natasha_Jay 

today we call it "a USB key, almost empty". 

@Natasha_Jay low density and slow access time, but it has a certain charm :P

@Natasha_Jay

This picture is about the size of the 621. Applied Physics section in the town I grew up. I rode my bicycle there every chance I could get and read every one of those books. I would get an engineering degree.

Books are my quality of life.

@Natasha_Jay
Need much less water expense

@Natasha_Jay OG "Knowledge Base"…

- Searchable even when the power goes out!
