I'm still pissed at Youtube for messing with the related videos tab, rather than being just strictly related to the video you viewed its a throw up of random related shit of stuff you watched before and sometimes some clickbait.
[QUOTE=Brt5470;50537056]So good news on Arq5, the issue wasn't the client. ACD was having ingestion problems all over the US. They cleared up this evening and I took a nap and it uploaded about 30GB at full steam ahead.
Since it uses my full upload, unlike fucking crashplan, I could make my initial backup in a few months probably, and restoring is so simple. I can install the software on any machine, login to my ACD, use my decryption key and download it through the client.
One thing I am concerned about is functions in terms of organization. If I make my full backup, and then organize files, are those files going to be in the new locations or the old ones. That annoyed me in Crashplan sometimes, I didn't know if it kept files in the original locations or the old ones.

BTW thanks for this. I finally have an acceptable backup solution that works on Windows Server that you don't have to pay through the nose for because they assume your a business. The price is right too. Hopefully it will only take a couple weeks at 6-9 Mbps (weird soft cap, I only pay for 6).

Is that the affiliate link program? I watched a Tom Scott thing today, apparently the affiliate cookies stay for 24 hours meaning if you buy ANYTHING it'll tell them what you bought. So weird!
right, but why?

what does he mean by "bookmarked links"
Just set up remote desktop. There's an open source RDP program that enables it on Home editions of Windows. Since I have my domain script thing, I can easily connect anywhere. I also set up my WOL so I can turn on my computer remotely and don't have to leave it on all the time.
Why would bookmarked links be disallowed? Or is it just telling people to bookmark it that's not allowed? That seems pretty strange.
I wonder if that was explicitly stated in the ToS. If it was, either way, it's Linus's bad.
He admitted it was their bad, but it seems like Amazon told them to take down quite a few videos which is completely stupid.
It's kinda his fault if he told people to bookmark the link in hundreds of videos and that's against the ToS
I'd be happy they only terminated it
Skimming through some of the ToS, it probably falls under some really broad category that's something like "generating revenue through unsupported means"
[editline]17th June 2016[/editline]
Regardless they don't really need a valid reason, they can terminate whenever they want
Hrmh, turns out that in Witcher 3, people used to farm food and money by killing respawning cows near the start of the game, but CD Projekt Red didn't like that, so they made doing that spawn a level 27 enemy right next to you.
I went to do that, since I needed food, and people suggested doing it in some forum thread that was over a year old.
I was having trouble staying awake, but I'm definitely wide fucking awake after that. 21 level difference, fuuuuuuuuck that.

Fuck yeah, was wondering how long they'd get away with it. You're not supposed to have people use "Linus-Amazon" but rather buy Thing-x via the Linus link.
He should replace the links with with Amazon Smile, the "Charity-Amazon" that's actually intended to be used that way.
I mean come on, why would Amazon want to do revenue sharing with LMM (or anyone) for bringing people over once or twice?

[QUOTE=ballads;50541287]are you listing that server you got?[/QUOTE]
Yea, It has much more total horsepower than my PC, but encoding can only be split onto so many threads. So it's not that much faster for a single video. If I had a website with user videos and needed hundreds to be transcoded it'd be perfect.

Well, when you have people make their amazon bookmark your affiliate link you're going to have problems. They should have seen this was an issue for a long time.
The affiliate link is to convince people or persuade them to purchase on amazon on a website where they otherwise might not.
It was dumb for the years they did it.
You'd also think they could have someone look over the videos before they get uploaded, but even that's too difficult :v:
Their business manager should do it.
Also, what is up with LTT's audio for thelast like year. Whoever is mastering is pushing so much hardlimiting or something. Even with the volume low I feel like I'm getting tired from listening to linus or luke, and luke doesn't yell. It's exhausting to listen to TechQuickie.
Also notice how they no longer call the videos As Fast As Possible, maybe because they spend so much time talking about nothing. As Slow As Possible, and that's coming from me, master of overdetailing.
Like their cache video, 4minutes of nothing. Maybe like 3-4 facts, but so much "No, it's not X that you might get for Y when you're looking for Z". Reminds me of Last Week Tonight, where so much of the show are terrible jokes that last too long. I've always wanted to do a YT channel with all the LWT episodes with jokes edited out.

Maxing out my upload.[/QUOTE]
Hmmm, interesting.
Can you organize your files or select specific folders to upload at a time?
What I do is go to the folder I want to upload to and drag and drop on Chrome for Google Drive uploading.
And are you able to share a link to the file for others to download or do you have to use the installed client to download the file(s)? If it can't, then it's not for me. I would have to be able to easily manage files that would be shared to others and I think what I use now (Google Drive) kinda works well. It maxes out my upload but downloading seems to be a pain in the ass so you should use clients that can connect Google Drive as a network drive.
You can still manage your data like google drive just fine. It has an uploader client which is drag and drop if you want. But Arq 5 is for backups and all data is broken up into blocks and encrypted with a custom passkey. It's then stored into its own folder separate from your other data.
So by design you're not supposed to be able to read that data except on the host machine.
You can still just upload a file onto ACD and get a sharable link either to a file or folder.

When I'm talking about Arq5, I'm specifically referring to using ACD to backup. I'm still considering using ACD with stabilebit clouddrive, and then I can use it as a third copy on my drivepool.
The thing with ACD is though, in the TOS, they give themselves the right to scan your files for copyrighted content and if they find something they don't like they could delete it or delete your account. So almost any ACD client worth its salt, encrypts the files.
If you're doing stuff for clients, you don't have a guaranteed Amazon won't touch it.
Edit: Also for most reports, it's pretty damn unlimited. I read a forum post on /r/datahoarder that someone had 270TB on ACD.

Interesting.
I'm pretty sure Google Drive does the same sort of scanning for uploaded files too. Since I want to be able to access my files from anywhere (phone, etc.), I most likely won't do what you're doing unless there's a specific reason to or it's something that I don't need to access at all or any time soon. I'm also pretty sure I can do what you are doing with Arq5 but with Google Drive. I don't believe Amazon Cloud Drive has a document editor like Google Drive, and realistically the company would most likely stay on Google Drive because of the collab tools such as a document editor that syncs stuff up.
Also I wonder if there's actually any limits to the unlimited Google Drive thing I have. It's under Google Apps for Work and apparently, even though we don't have 5 accounts in it, Google Drive says everyone in the company gets unlimited data. It's supposed to only give you 1TB until you have 5 active accounts (aka $50/month).
And how OneDrive stacks up. The boss apparently doesn't have Microsoft Office and prefers to use Google Drive's office editors for everything so [I]shrug[/I]. Seems hard to convince him to get Amazon Cloud Drive or even OneDrive for stuff when Google Drive has been decent so far.
I'm pretty sure the problems I have faced was with which client I was using rather than Google Drive itself.

Yea, ACD is like purely storage and some basic sharing. But for the price it's perfect for it's market. Last thing I want is for them to add new features and bump up the price. Then again, amazon is known for that. (Prime)
For me, like I said, I'm going to be using Arq 5 for backups (Does versioning, dedupe, compression, no deletion) and then probably Stablebit Clouddrive for the same data to use it normally.
[editline]18th June 2016[/editline]
There was a post on /r/datahoarder where a guy who did video work had a single 1TB drive, and was going to upload to OneDrive but the estimated time was a MASSIVE TWENTYONE DAYS Oh noes! So he never backed up ever because he thought that was too slow and he thought there should be a faster way to backup.
he knocked over the drive and the drive is dead.
Man, it's almost like you could have saved something instead of nothing.
I don't get that mentality. Within a month you'd have most of it backed up. Just leave the machine on for a weekend to get a headstart.

Hmm, $5 a month (paid annually at $60) does seem like a great deal for truly unlimited storage. I'm riding out my Office 365-given free terabyte with OneDrive but it's actually fairly buggy and I find myself restarting it to get it to "recognize" changes or to fix it from getting hitched up on a file. And this happens on at least 3 machines of mine, so no idea what's going on there.
I don't trust DropBox anymore for obvious reasons, and I just never liked how Google Drive worked. Then again, I really don't like any of Google's services aside from Gmail/Inbox (and the search engine proper, of course.)
[editline]18th June 2016[/editline]
Okay, I just looked and you can't go above 50GB with OneDrive unless you get an Office 365 plan. That's stupid.
Look, Microsoft, I'm sorry, but I don't need Office.

They've had a few breaches and I kinda get the vibe they still haven't pulled their shit together.
I wouldn't mind being proven wrong, though. I am shopping for a Windows-integrated (so that throws out Amazon's I guess) cloud service that isn't ungodly expensive for at least 100GB. So far it really does seem best to stick it out with OneDrive and not give a shit about whether or not Office comes with.
BRT! Make sure you make TitleIII before you sell the server! It's the perfect opportunity.
Just make it even bigger?
Also for listing it, where should I start the bid?
