Economy A looming port strike could fuel inflation and cause layoffs the ILA is officially on strike

[method115]

I must have 500 movies, 70 full series TV shows, every video and picture I have ever saved or taken on my phones over the years, a huge library of music, games and more on my 4TB drive and I still have 800gb free space

The only reason I will ever have to buy another is if one craps out on me. which has happened back in 2005, and why I always have a clone drive backup

Yea I'm at 3807 movies and 70 tv shows. My buddy is at 9329 movies and 757 tv shows. I would have never downloaded this much content if it wasn't for him showing me Unraid so that I wont lose data if one of my drives fail. You can even set it up so that two drives can fail and you still wont lose data.

I'm also into Anime and I have 737 shows.

Pfff. Your nonsense is tired and pathetic. These overpaid unskilled workers need government intervention. These unions are the biggest criminal enterprises in America and need to be treated as such. Their attempt to crater the US, defying the basic principle of economics is an act of war. Eliminate the threat now

I wouldn't get too lippy if I was you. Surely you haven't forgotten about the evidence coming in so fast we can't keep up thread.

Union workers pull these shenanigans every few years they will just get a raise and everything will go back to normal in the mean while "long shoreman casuals" who are not union will be the scabs taking on shifts.

How dare those union workers fight for a raise.

You're preaching to the quire. I have 70TB raid setup at my house for my plex server. I was constantly watching drives and how big they are getting and how much they are. I have 11Tb of free space right now so I've kind of stopped monitoring the market since this will last me a few years at least. When I have to upgrade again though I want to go much larger. The smallest drive I have right now is 5TB, then 8TB, 12T, and the rest are 14Tb.

A buddy of mine who shares his plex library with me is over 100TB by now. Not sure how much total he has at this point but every single day I watch TV I see new movies and TV shows downloaded onto his server.

delete/compress stuff. I've been surviving on 10TB raid/plex for the longest time with no foreseeable upgrade.

I have 487 movies, way too many, and 167 home video clips

3TB free

print your photos and put them into an album or photo book. Use an app like irfanview that can tag the date on the bottom corner of each photo in bulk. That is your physical backup.

Wouldn't work for me. I have way to much data. I share my plex with my daughter and nephew who's deployed overseas right now so some stuff is for them. My daughter will ask me to download shows for her here and there.

I'm at 3807 movies and 70 tv shows. I'm also into Anime and I have 737 shows. I do delete some really large TV shows but going through all that stuff 1 by 1 deleting movies would be a waste of my time as I wont get that much space back per movie. Plus I find some random movies on there to watch just browsing that are good. I basically found a list of all the 90's movies, 2000's movies, etc and set my server to auto download all of it or whatever it could find.

How dare those union workers fight for a raise.

Personally I don't care if they get one all I was saying is they do this every few years we are used to it here everything goes back to normal after the strike.

 

[Blayt7hh]

Yeah. You know what technology they aren't really letting Public? Bigger external hard drives lol.

15 years ago I bought 2TB external hard drives and it cost $80 a piece

I recently bought a 4 TB external and it cost $100.

I know they can make 100TB drives cheap but once you have 4 TB you really don't need much more space so why would they want it on the market i guess. I have 1 backup 4TB drive with all my movies, shows, family pictures, etc and another cloned.

If I put anything new on, I just have a dated folder and eventually clone it over too.

You’re probably not remembering that correctly. 4TB 15 years ago probably cost like 3-400 bucks and was on a hard disk. Today the size is the same, bust significantly cheaper and on an SSD

I remember paying something like 150 bucks for a 64gb ssd back around 2011.

Uh government intervention wouldn’t benefit the workers here. It’s the company that needs the government to get the workers back to work.

lol I'm trying to figure out why I spelled it like that but I don't even know. Reminds me of me texting this women once who I was trying to hook up with. I mentioned my nephew but spelled it nefew and I have no idea why I did that. She text back and just said that's an interesting way to spell nephew. One of those moves you know dropped you down a notch.

If you know the actual spelling, I'd say it's fine to have a brain glitch now and again. As much as I get a kick out of the odd correction here and there for fun, I consistently make one or two mistakes that I can't seem to shake myself--sometimes junk just gets stuck in your brain. Nobody's perfect, in other words, not even Captain Pedantic.

If she closed the gates to paradise just because of that she's too judgemental anyway and would surely find something else to complain about instead.

Nah I still got it in but she never seemed to want to do anything more than bang, which is fine with me.

There are laws that require companies to negotiate with unions and bar them from retaliating against union organizers otherwise companies would just fire anyone trying to unionize. Unions can only exist because of these laws.

not always true but I get what you’re saying. I don’t know port work but I’m assuming it takes a fair amount of skill and training so I’m assuming they really couldn’t just fire everyone and replace them and have the place up and running a week later.

However in this scenario the government is forcing the union to negotiate and that’s in the interest of the company. I’m not really commenting on whether what the union is asking for because I don’t know enough about what their work is worth vs what they’re being paid

We have the least efficient and least automated ports in the world. You can thank unions and their stranglehold on common sense for that. No different than the mob and historical teamsters...
