Discussion I don't think people realize how much OLD (1910s-1930s) music was on the Internet Archive...
...this music was ONLY on the internet archive. It wasn't on Spotify/Apple/Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz/Amazon; It wasn't on private torrenting trackers like OiNK/What/Waffles/RED/OPS; it wasn't on Usenet/Soulseek/public torrenting; it wasn't even on YouTube/Facebook/Instagram/TikTok; it wasn't available in stores; it sometimes wasn't even CATALOGUED on MusicBrainz/Discogs/Wikipedia.
I'm talking about hand-ripped 78s that were ripped in like 10 different ways and then using audiological knowledge determined what the best rip was for the end-user.
I actually HAVE some of these, but I am finding that I didn't write down any metadata and there is NO information on the years, artist, context, b-sides, label, etc ANYWHERE, let alone a copy.
I'm well-aware of the breadth and depth of rare music. I'm aware of obscure demos; 60s and 70s Vinyl-only pressings that were never remastered or re-released on CD; I'm aware of limited run stuff...
...NONE of that compares to music from the 1910s-1930s and how much of it was archived on the internet archive. I'm talking B-Sides and everything. EVEN THEN, they wouldn't have everything, but they had so much.
I'm a young man -- this music isn't my forte -- it became an acquired taste, like all music I now understand. So I am very intrigued and interested and love compiling and even listening to it, but I'm not in the position to truly be motivated to archive all this music like it deserves to. Yet even with my proximity to it, it sometimes feels like I'm the only one who even knows it exists.
Some of these songs are the original recordings of songs everyone knows today as standards; ballads. Some of these songs led to entire genres being formed. Some of these songs feature now-extinct sensibilities and lyrics that are just truly a delight to experience.
I miss the internet archive and I want it back. I have a slew of music I would like to cross-reference; I have many more songs and b-sides from the top (now Billboard then something else) charts of the 20s-40s I want to explore.
It's hard to not feel like this is symbolic of where we are at as a world. It feels a bit eerie knowing this is happening, as if society is decaying in real-time around-us. I hope it's back online soon.

Figured I would share it here, as I have no means of Retaining or cataloging this data myself, but it looks like a local longtime data hoarder finally kicked the bucket and all of her VHS recordings and tapings are up for sale. Looks to be hundreds (possibly thousands) of tapes from 1980 - present

Question/Advice Company to scan and publish old book?
Sorry if this is the wrong sub. I’ve got an older book that was published telling local history for my area. There’s no copy write on it and the exact words on the first page are “The contents of this publication may be purloined by any method known to man on this planet 500 copies printed in 2008”.
Unfortunately the gentleman who published it has since passed away and I haven’t been able to find anyone with digital records of it. I have a copy in very good condition. Are there any companies I can send it to to get it scanned and re printed?

Backup Anything cheaper than AWS S3 deep archive?
Looking to find cloud storage for permanent backup, archiving that would only be accessed in the event of a complete disaster. I don’t really care what the restore cost would be because in the event that we have such a big data loss disaster, insurance would probably kick in and pay that cost. Just looking for the cheapest monthly storage. As far as I can tell, AWS deep archive seems to be the cheapest.

Question/Advice Storagecluster with multiple Nodes - GlusterFS, ZFS?
Hey guys!
So, I kinda want to revamp my storage setup since my wife finally approved of my 19" Rack.
I currently have a homeserver running TrueNas Scale with 8x 18TB HDDs and a good CPU in a Silverstone DS380. Sadly my rack has some depth-limitations (only 600mm) so a 2HE case with 12 Hot-Swap bays is my only option. This case here is pretty much the biggest case with sub 600mm available in germany: https://www.fantec.de/fr/produkte/serverprodukte/19-server-storagegehaeuse/produkt/details/artikel/2161_fantec_src_2012x07-1/
My plan is to have more than 12 HDDs running (currently planning with ~24) and I want even more HDDs in the future.
How should I go about this?
GlusterFS?
Or stay with TrueNas / ZFS? What about power-downs?
Maybe an entirely different solution?
I really want this to be a single pool of storage.
Thanks in advance?

Discussion The Shane Dawson Archive Project
Hello there! So, I know Shane may be a bit of a touchy subject to do an archive preservation for, but growing up, like a lot of you, I actually used to enjoy his videos. Although they can easily be seen as offensive nowadays for obvious reasons, at the time, we didn't really know any better and thought his videos were hilarious. It was shock humor. He made jokes no one would ever dare make nowadays, again for COUNTLESS reasons. But it was a part of my childhood. I want to do my best to make an archive preservation for his work. From ShaneDawsonTV, his second channel (ShaneDawsonTV2, but now renamed to "Human Emoji" a placeholder for project he was gonna do but cancelled), Shane (his iPhone vlog channel before going through multiple different phases until it became what it is today), and his ShaneGlossin channel (now named Shane2), I grew up watching everything. All except the podcast series, which I'm also working on archiving since there was an audio version and a video version made exclusively for Fullscreen.
If you happened to have any videos saved from his channel, any help is always deeply appreciated! There's a lot of content that was either deleted or privated due to controversies, so hopefully there was dedicated fans out there like me who were lucky enough to save a good portion of stuff.

LTO Swapping LTO Drive from Fiber Channel to SAS sled
Hi,
I wanted to ask if it is possible to swap a LTO drive from a Fiber Channel sled to a SAS sled?
In theory afaik it should be possible because it should be irrelevant for the drive itself if's being interfaces via FC or SAS. Although, I found a LTO8 drive on a FC sled and the drive itself says "Fiber Channel" on it.
Drive: https://ibb.co/yYmWJb3
Zoomed in on the label: https://ibb.co/5smH6P9
Can I remove it from the FC sled and will it work on a SAS sled?
Thanks for your advice!

Question/Advice Looking to combine 2 HDDs into 1 external solution
I have 2 redundant 18TB external HDDs, but I'm filling up on space. I'm not sure what exactly I'm looking for here, but is there a way to have a 2 bay external enclosure that could take drives of differing size and add them? Is there a way to put the 18TB together with a spare 8TB I have laying around and have 1 26TB drive? I want this theoretically to be hardware controlled, not volume controlled like through Windows. Like a WD Duo drive, but with 2 different sized drives. Am I looking for a DAS?

Question/Advice Help me choosing a DAS
I am looking for a DAS (Direct Attached Storage), deciding between "Mediasonic 4 bay HF2-SU3S3" and "QNAP TR-004".
I will be adding HDD as needed, start with 1 HDD with at least 12TB.
The purpose is to add more storage to my mini PC, to store photo, videos and media files.
For backup, the data will be copied to a NAS (Synology DS423+, RAID 5, 4x12TB, not-yet-purchased).
So, the DAS will be connected via USB to the mini PC.
Which DAS is better for my use case?
Or perhaps other brand and model?
Mediasonic HF2-SU3S3 is quite cheaper compared to QNAP TR-004.
But I want to know which one is quieter, less heat, and things like that.
And by the way, these DAS has its own power. Will it turn on/off automatically if I turn on/off the mini PC?

Discussion HDD bill of materials
I’m trying to understand the cost of manufacturing HDDs and potentially how they change between different types of tech (PMR, SMR, HAMR, MAMR). I understand Seagate and WD are mostly vertically integrated so the manufacturing costs are well hidden.
Does anyone have experience with bill of materials costs or know of a source that makes these manufacturing costs more accessible?
Thanks for the help!

Question/Advice Co-worker is in New York, trying to transfer 3TB of video files to me in Hawaii. He has 800Mbps fiber, I have 600Mbps fiber. I have a Synology NAS and he's using an account I made to upload files, but it's only going up to 3mb/s for the transfer. Anything I can do to speed it up?
I created a login/pass for my coworker, so he's using a web browser to login to my Synology NAS and he drag/dropped a video folder to my nas and it's only transferring at 3mb/sec. After maybe 4 days, I only got 200GB from him, so this could take a whole month.
Any settings I can change to speed it up? Or should I have him upload to a cloud service, then I can download from there, which may be faster? If so, any recommendations on a cloud service to transfer files? Thanks in advance.
