I must buy a backup drive now that it comes up

@nhahtdh That's why I keep a torrent server

@nhahtdh Unable to retrieve it in any way?

I find it hard to believe that it's completely dead

I download everything to my torrent server (And seed from it too) at ~15MB/s, then I download or stream directly from it

I'm currently considering sending it to a data recovery center to recover the whole drive 100$

All depends on the importance of the data :P

Server is regularly backed up, so even if it dies, IDGAF :)

And how easy/hard it will be to get it back

Hurray for redundancy! \o/

@AsadaShino Hurray for redundancy is awesome!

I didn't have time to backup the whole thing last time I do

Hehe ^^

For text files and documents I use git :P

For binary files it's a bit trickier

I am going to buy a HDD box tomorrow and try for the last time

@MadaraUchiha I have my anime directories backed up on a NAS

@MadaraUchiha: Most of my data is anime

I generally don't save anime I've already seen.

I watch it, and if I'm done with seeding (2-3 ratio) I delete it.

@AsadaShino How large is your capacity?

@MadaraUchiha I don't seed, since my speed is extremely inefficient for seeding

@nhahtdh Hence, seed box.

@nhahtdh 3 TB with mirroring on the NAS and about 5 TB in external HDDs where I have anime in different HDDs, I change and add as they are filled :P

@MadaraUchiha $$$

I pay $5/mo on it (And I'm using it for running other stuff too)

Where so cheap?

@MadaraUchiha We have 125 Mbps down, 15 Mbps down, so seeding is pants T__T

Hold on

@AsadaShino I currently have 4 x 1TB, 1 500 MB and 1 2TB (this is the new one, not filled yet). All are single copy

So around 4.5 TB of data on ext. HDD

without backup

What died was the laptop HDD, though

#tomato

@nhahtdh In my NAS is 2x 3 TB, but mirrored, so it's only 3 TB storage and 3 TB backup, then 1x 3 TB, 1x 2TB and 1x 1 TB external HDDs

And internal is 1x 256 GB SSD and 1x 512 GB SSD

So I guess it's 6 TB

@ToshinouKyouko: Around 3TB?

Probably a bit more

I store other heavy stuffs also

so much

Not all are anime

I don't know exactly, but I guess about 1,5-2 TB, from the top of my head, but I'd have to check when I'm home

Some are images (BD scans), some are music (anime related)

I certainly can use my saving and buy more HDD for backing up, but I am currently saving up for something else more important next year

Ganman ganman

@nhahtdh :o

Ohh :3

@AsadaShino My internet is 4-5Mbps down, 400-500 kbps up. I can download 30+ GB per day, but only upload 3 GB per day

That's why I don't seed

Ohh ._. I see

No caps here, luckily, damn that sucks :(

The protocol overhead already takes some part of the upload bandwidth

Since the Internet has too small upload pipe, I can't use any online back up services for large data, even if I want to

@nhahtdh vpsnodes.com/clients/cart.php?a=confproduct&i=2

Check the christmas 2GB promo

2GB = $5/mo

2GB is too small for my purpose

2GB Ram

ok

100GB SSD

(Which is also likely too small, but it is a VPS so that's to be expected)

But for $5/mo I think it's a great bang for your buck.

100 GB is great

You can download even a BDRip with it

If you're considering buying it, please consider doing it from my affiliate link (vpsnodes.com/clients/aff.php?aff=051)

Though I only did it once via torrent

You don't have to though :)

@nhahtdh I have debian installed on mine, and transmission has a very handy web interface you can use

(transmission being the torrent client)

Yes, I know about transmission, though I don't use it

uTorrent old version is enough for me

The newest Monogatari?

not sure which series

@OshinoShinobu quiz time

is that madoka?

and homura and sayaka and kyouko

not sure about the others

Araragi is the man

So I found a Mr. Donuts.

@ToshinouKyouko where did you get this anyway, I can't google it

@Yuuki what???

It's on my commute to work.

:o

I want it

always want to eat that glorious Mr. Donuts

@OshinoShinobu :o maybe

i wouldnt be surpised if the others were shaft also

@OshinoShinobu

@ToshinouKyouko that brown hs uniform kinda similar with nadeko's uniform

D:

what are you doing DX

ur a snowvampire :D

@Yuuki what happen between 50-60 D:

they explode?

@OshinoShinobu Apparently, menopause.

creepy af

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

Something to clean your eyes:

O_o

@OshinoShinobu how did you find me

I mean um...

D:

wha...what?

wha

%_%

@Sakamoto such a descriptive title

2 more hours for me :D

9 for me :P

7.

@OshinoShinobu: What a coincidence

@nhahtdh you too? :D

Yeah

I hope the 2nd season of Oregairu is not butchered by bad animation

The character design for Yukino changed a bit to the worse side

This image is gold

@nhahtdh that's yukinon?

No

thought so

Right from the source: tbs.co.jp/anime/oregairu

Yukino looks weird here.

yea,, so.. why they change their character design? different studio?

and who is that girl on the right?

@nhahtdh where's my yukinon ;_;

@nhahtdh Wait, is that what I think it is?

@Yuuki: New season, yes?

What's the full title of the anime?

@OshinoShinobu The girl on the right is a new girl, Isshiki Iroha, if I'm not mistaken on the reading

@Yuuki Yahari Ore no Seishun LoveCome wa Machigatteiru

@nhahtdh Oh. I didn't know that got an anime.

Now I need to binge watch it.

genre?

romcom

it's good

:o

@ToshinouKyouko anime-planet.com/anime/…

ohhh snafu

she looks like she's best girl

yep, that's our best girl

:D yay

No, this is the best girl

@nhahtdh IIRC, that's a guy. Or is that a different character?

Yes, that's a guy, but he is more girly than the other girls :P

best girl doesnt have to be girly

@ToshinouKyouko Best girl doesn't even have to be best.

Hachiman x Hiratsuka is a good coupling in my eyes

Hachiman and Yukinon are set to be a couple due to their contrasting atypical ideal and way of life

@nhahtdh who?

While Hachiman and Hiratsuka-sensei are kinda birds of a feather

oh his teacher?

yep

I love unconventional coupling

Yukinon x Chair.

@OshinoShinobu to clarify "where can I find X/Y" is perfectly fine if they ask where and how they can get it, but however "Should I choose Q, V, C, or R for X/Y" is not a good bit for our site due to the subjective nature, but having a meta about recommended shopping venue is better deterrent for these type of question on the main site

@Yuuki u have a Mr Donut & Kolache chain?

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ isn't it same with "Where is the best place to buy X?"

I think I ask something similar to this when I was still new here

and got close vote

lol yea, because I never read that help center :p

Would "Does this exist for purchase?" be more appropriate than "where can I buy this?"

idk its all very shaky

someone should make a meta post who is not me

"does someone sell moe somewhere?"

@OshinoShinobu all moe is out of stock worldwide

D:

only muscle anime remains

@ton.yeung it ain't moe!

@ToshinouKyouko you can have it if you want

normal moe

reguler

with girl

@Taisho this kind of moe

@Taisho thanks

@OshinoShinobu "Where can I buy to buy X?" (given locational details) is fine, but "Where is the best places to buy Y" is a bit more subjective

I think that kind of question will tend to have multiple answer..

@OshinoShinobu then you should meta about this

#tomato

@ton.yeung End-game healing is really tricky

@ton.yeung I had tanks do massive pulls, I had to use almost all of my CDs to keep them up

was successful only 2/3 times

also found a tank that couldn't hold threat, so I tanked up to the first boss

@ton.yeung I have an almost instant cast max heal on a CD, w/o that we would've been screwed

@ton.yeung SCH is all about mitigation

@ton.yeung invest in stone shield as cross skill. It's extremely useful

@ton.yeung CNJ

@ton.yeung 34

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ My tank d/ced during Toto-rak and I had to pinch tank with my pet.

Later after we got another tank, I had to pinch heal since the healer started sucking.

@Yuuki your pet won't be able to keep aggro starting from 30 onwards

@Yuuki in Toto-rak?

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Mhmm.

Tank was consistently getting lower than 40-ish%.

what are we talking about here?

@JNat Tanks

I understand not wanting to get aggro, but I feel much safer when my tank's at ~60% rather than ~40%.

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ but from some game in particular, no?

sensha-dou, i.e.Panzerfahren

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ Oh, I thought you meant tanks like Naotsugu

not real tanks

@ton.yeung oic

@JNat no, that kind of tank actually

looks like I accidentally left "I love hats" overnight and now everybody's avatars in chat has 16x16 hats

@ton.yeung Overhealing only causes unnecessary aggro and wastes precious MP

@ʞɹɐzǝɹ I think the only thing I never learned about healing in WoW was mana/MP management.

Disc Priests really didn't have a problem with that.

For one, our best stat also functioned as a max mana modifier. And every time our shields broke, it gave us 3% of our max mana back.

So every time I got even remotely close to low mana, I'd just plop shields on everyone right before a big AoE.

People survive, I get lots of mana back.

Of course, I kept getting yelled at by pubs during our public raids because my heals per second was absolute s--t.

And they all kept yell-asking about why I was main tank healer and got good drops.

@ton.yeung Nope.

@ton.yeung Metrics.

Because we focus on damage mitigation rather than actual healing, Disc Priests tend to have horrible HPS stats.

I remember one time I had lower HPS than some Death Knight because he had some form of lifesteal.

That was fun.

Disc Priest is fun times, but be prepared to get chewed out when it comes to metrics because you function almost completely differently than any other healer.

The issue when the raid leaders start listening to the rabble.

Our main tank loved me, but I started getting shifted off tank healing duty because of my regularly low HPS.

And my HPS drops even lower if I'm stuck on raid heal duty.

@ton.yeung Don't forget that one guild that's called SAO for some reason.

#tomato

"Yes, let's name our guild after the anime/game rather than a guild in the anime/game."

I mostly like to craft, but gathering is also fun.

@ton.yeung Lower-level stuff is cheap.

I'll probably gather my own mats after L15.

I wonder if there's ever been a serious incident of bots monopolizing the mat spawns and raising the prices to low level mats in mmo

how did it get solved?

heh

poor innocent folks within that ip range

that would seem reasonable

gather activity stats, see if they ever move outside a certain region or do different things other than gather the mats in the same general area

bounty on bots is nice

that's a really gamey way to solve problems

I could totally see myself writing a sophisticated algo for bots tho :D

realistic playtimes, regularly changing areas, fighting mobs occasionally, walking around aimlessly maybe

I played an mmo once and the main gameplay didn't cut it for me, so I just listened to podcasts while gathering mats manually

it lasted 2 months and then I dropped it

@Hakase At that point, you have to value whether you're actually getting any profit off the bot.

I ended up buying a faster flier for all the profit and wandered the world a bit more

@Yuuki just add more bots :D

I really have more interesting things to do than do the same things over and over

@Hakase Not a solution for subscription-based games.

like doing new things all the time :p

subscription-based games are evil

yeah :(

@Hakase Subscriptions are also pretty much the only way MMORPGs are ever going to turn a profit. Short of microtransactions, which are also evil apparently.

as much as I'd like to play some of em , like FF14, I dont want to pay every month :(
