  Why should the drives be sneakily deposited. If he trusts his relative or friend he may just tell them to keep it safe until new gets out.

  However the bigger challenge would be to read the files using newer technology since those drive connectors might get obsolete. Maybe you need to store technology you can read it with. For example an external disk drive with USB 3 cables and Somme USB C adapters. If using internal drives this gets a bit complicated since you would need also some cables and motherboards. So external hard drives would be easier.

  They have potential. They always endup being used. Sometimes, to make better use of space I might swap bigger jars with smaller ones depending on the content. In the storage cabinet, bigger jars can contain smaller ones.

  How can it be both a marathon and a gamble?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is it when I watch a movie at home? It seems like I have to go deaf just this way. I can hear the audio of somebody speaking compared to the explosions and other special effect sounds?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I haven’t read other comments but it is worth checkjng your TV audio setup. You might want to set the sound output to cinema or speaking mode. Thus changes the sound and optimizes it for easier listening. If the audio is set to music, it will be amplified and nice to hear but difficult to decipher.

  My guess is you your brain puts too much work to decipher the sound and construct words. You can make your brain do leaa work just by changing how the sound is output so it becomes easier to distinguish word, thus not need to compensatory with higher volume.

  Of course you may need to experiment with you TV settings to find what is suitable for you. Obviously an audio setting ibtized for speach would reduce quality of music out put.

  If you use MS Teams, you will notice that when you start a phone call but still have music playing then out will change in tone. For the same reason, Radio presenter in the past would speak a certain way so they can be heard correctly over the radio.,

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vultr doesn't let you use Bitcoin until you've already set up payment using a credit card or PayPal⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While not the best thjbg for customers, it helps them reduce fraud and keep the service acceptable.

  Since vultr network has a hood reputation, they could be abused to send spam. Having crypto payment only would not prevent them to detect repeat abusers. With a verified payment method they can ID who me they are providing service for.

  In an absence of such limitation, abusers can simply create a new email and wallet then get back to abusing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If lemmy.world became the biggest in the fediverse with a user base that could rival Reddit. Would it become monetized?⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It could be monetized by showing regular ads next to content a and disguised adds as content. Also, if using the federated API, they could push some sponsored content desgized as such.

  This cannoy be applied to the whole fediverse but only to instances whose owners a want monetization.

  I am sure that if implemented, someone would make it work on mobile apps and others while showing a setting to “disable ads”. And there would be forks that block adds by default etc.

  Maybe have a look. At what Threads are doing.
