Watched it for the first time last year. It was incredible. Absolutely holds up to modern stuff… Except for some absolute creep moments around Bulma, various sexism… The overall purity culture weirdness… Some really homophobic things… Some really racist things… …
Okay. It has issues. Lots of really big issues. But the music is amazingly fresh and the visuals top notch and it’s always entertaining, minus the glaring problems. And that they did Lunch so dirty for some reason.
That’s a pity they haven’t changed. I know a lot of Japan has gotten better, but I also know that they still have a prevailing homophobic purity culture.
Rant:
One of my favorite animes is one piece, and as much as I love it for it and some personal connections in my head around it, there’s just so much hurtful and thoughtless stuff in it.
Generally, Oda does a good job of keeping it harmless and goofy, even when using racist or sexist or homophobic tropes. He generally keeps them colorful and just for the sake of having weird shit. Which I have always loved.
But… Every once in a while there’s like an ice cold bat to the face, be it something that is just old (I’m rewatching it) and at the time may have been trying to bridge an acceptance gap, or just downright mean spirited.
Like for example, I’m in the whitebeard war area of the story, and there’s the crossdresser stuff and the king(queen?) of them. Fat, Giant Head, lingerie all the time even outside, giant chin and jawline, crazy makeup, and when he attacks, he winks at you. Like. Come on. That’s so shitty. And I would say that the character is a drag queen, but he LITERALLY USES HORMONES TO CHANGE HIS AND OTHER’S PHYSIOLOGY. Like a military guard is about to attack him, and he injects him with hormones and turns the guard into a woman, who then gets embarrassed, mews, and collapses in heat and embarrassment. He’s not a drag queen, they’re a transgender non binary, genderfluid troll that everybody calls an okama, which, to my knowledge, is basically a sissy or maybe even a slur, >!faggot or fag!<.
And all the hyper stylized femininity toothpick waist girls and barrel shaped boys. Like come on, if you’re gonna do that style, give me those waify boys, tough girls, and sexy and confusing enbies at least.
All the people in queer land are just manly crossdressers. Where are the femboys!? Where are the gorgeous women who just happen to be assigned male at birth?
Maybe one piece gets better over time. Maybe there are anime that are better. Maybe there’s “Western” media today that’s more realistic.
That’s “free space”. The 414 represents ~62% of my space (38% used). I’m at just under 700 for usable space. And 2 disks are out of the array at the moment because the backplane went stupid. Turns out that it’s a pain in the ass to open server chassis to replace a backplane when you have to unmount 70 disks. And I’m pretty lazy.
Damn, what sort of connection are you running? I feel like you’d be getting throttled, assuming throttling isn’t strictly illegal (side note: genuinely, thank you, People’s Republic of Massachusetts ❤️)
Fiber, 8gbps through Quantum Fiber (part of the Lumen/Centurylink family). No throttling here…
My bottleneck is the vpn that I have to have between me and the world… unfortunately. I only trust specific private trackers to not use it. I actually setup 4 seed boxes (VMs) in my garage to push more data out.
Proxmox cluster… and big storage truenas node.
And a dirty amount of networking… big cables on the right is QSFP, 40gbps 2x in lagg per server.
These pictures were just after a transplant to a new server rack. So everything is off… but the blinkin’ lights are real.
Edit:
Didn’t turn off anything before I ran these…
IpFS like ddh says makes the most sense probably. But you can archive a lot of raw text. Try to save what you think the Nazis would burn. I doubt archive.org survives many more years.
Leaked archives of american research papers too.

Heh… I’m actually rewatching Dragon Ball right now.
Awesome! I like the original series best by a decent margin. Soooo good.

That’s still modern Japan lol. At least, it stands out to me vs western media today.

Holy shit, you’ve nearly 20x’d me 🫡
Check again…

This graph might be better…
lol yeah - I revised my comment from 10x to 20x after looking closer. You literally 20x’d me lol.
That is some thicc storage. Respect.
Let’s just say that I do my part seeding Linux ISOs.
~72 TB uploaded the past 30 days.
I am unfortunately the epitome of a data hoarder. I still have files that I generated/created 30 years ago…

Jfc please make sure that’s hazard proof and don’t get raided. People like you legitimately make the world go round.
Ngl I am quite envious. That’s awesome.
How do you afford all this?

Seriously though. What’s the best help to lend out say 2tb?
Edit:This is a serious question.
I think it was annas archive that has a page for what data they need mirrored the most based on your storage space available. After looking into it.
You can take a look at Interplanetary File System and see what data you want to mirror.
IpFS like ddh says makes the most sense probably. But you can archive a lot of raw text. Try to save what you think the Nazis would burn. I doubt archive.org survives many more years. Leaked archives of american research papers too.
A bunch of USB sticks and external drives turned on and checked from time to time with rare files I need.
Walking along I guess. Bringing some tea.
