      Step 1: Buy £6,000 worth of identical hard drives and a motherboard with 16 SATA ports. Or £12,000 worth and a RAID 1 server rig. Or £24,000 and RAID 6

        6k for 10TB?

        A Raspberry pi with a sata hat and 16TB hard disk could download and serve this for well under 500 quid.

        An off the shelf 4 bay NAS with 4x 6TB drives in raid 5 would give you 15TB or so formatted capacity with redundancy. That would easily be under 2k… Jeez grab 2 and sync contents to a second location… even a third location… Still under 6k.

              10US dollar per TB?? 🤣🤣 More like 30/35€ per TB for a good graded HDD!

              Let’s not talk about SSDs or nvme which are more in the 120€/TB.

              I always hear people say that storage comes cheap nowaday… I’m still looking for that cheap HDD on amazon… It has been 10 years 🤣🤣

          iirc her writings gave me the impression that she basically worships communism and famous soviet communist leaders in a vaguely religious way. I can go look again later and elaborate. It could just be the language barrier that gave me that impression.

          Edit: I was misremembering Alexandra Elbakyan, the creator of Sci-Hub, as Anna of Anna’s Archive. Oops
