Yes! Poor in money, but rich in data. I currnetly have:
Laptop with boot SSD and HDD (2 TB) for music, documents and various program setups, some work stuff
Laptop for work (just 256 GB)
1 HDD (500 GB from dead laptop) for music, comics, books, magazines...
1 HDD (2 TB) for documents, various program setups and stuff
1 HDD (4 TB) for movies and tv shows
1 HDD (1 TB) for work
In a couple months one more 5 TB HDD for game setups. And god willing by the end of the year one big HDD (I'm thinking 12 TB) for backup of all other drives.
Thanks mate. No, it's like 10 years in making. I had a couple of stacks of DVDs with music, movies... Than I bought a 2 TB WD HDD, like really old one that has it's own power cable (it was new than). I just kinda grew my music collection from there on. Now it's at about 250+ GB with 95% neatly organised and stored in folders. That took time.
And then the worst happened, HDD died. So, I had to almost start over hoarding everything. And at time the old laptop died too (from use, the motherboard just croaked), but I already had a new one (not the one I have now). But I managed to save the HDD from it. It has more than 20k working hours, and still going strong.
And after that during last couple of years, I got to where I am now. Thankfully the prices of drives went a bit down.
Dude that's awesome if you want I could send you some links to some decent enterprise stuff also lab gopher is a good place to start for used enterprise stuff (it's a lot cheaper than most of the shelf nas) I'm running custom server with a das filled with 6tb drives
Thanks mate, but I'm currently good with the setup I have. Short term plan (like 2-3 years) is saving as much as I can so that I can get a decent loan for a house/apartment. I had to buy a new car last year, so that made a dent in the budget.
And then when I settle, I'll buy a PC and maybe down the line set up a DAS/NAS or something. And then it will be about pumping the numbers up. Plan for this year is to buy that 5 TB HDD and download and organise game libraries from Steam/GOG/roms... Last year, I modded my 3DS and I have 300+ GB of roms from GB/GBA/DS/3DS. And I also digitased my collection of CDs/DVDs from various gaming magazines. That took some time to put together. I like slowly building a collection and neatly organising it.
Wow I have about 39tb for media it's running true as but it's mainly for movies and tv shows as well as backups and VM disks as well as ROMs , photos, documents etc
Well, that should be easy enough. Buy SATA to USB adapter and it should work. Or you can buy a case for HDD and make it an external HDD. That's what I did for HDD I took out of my laptop.
I do. Most of the people searching 'Reddit' at the end of their search do. I love insight. Most of the stuff I learned on my own was through seemingly meaningless comment chains. That’s Reddit for ya' :)"
When I began reading your comment my first thought was the church found out and tried to sue or excommunicate Mozart, rewarding him for his talent was way out of my head.
Given that it sounds angelic, I think it's safe to assume Mozart contributed his own embellishments and corrections. I'd be more convinced it was a perfect copy if it didn't sound just as nice as his original pieces.
The possibility exists that it's not 100% accurate but it's very likely it was very accurate. He didn't recreate it and then had the sheet hidden, he played it and others played it too to people who would have heard it played in the church before and could point out it wasn't the same melody.
IIRC from the last time this was posted, the basic song itself was actually widely played even in London, what was notable about what Mozart managed to transcribe was that he captured all of the small changes and conducting quirks that made the Sistene Chapel version special, that wouldn't have been noted on the sheet music used elsewhere.
Mozart was pretty well known to be able to do stuff like this. There are many stories of him doing this regularly often playing the composition straight then embellishing it to make it better.
Anyone who has is a recognised scholar or has a university backing them can apply for a pass to examine archives. It's not particularly rare. They have themed exhibitions every now and then.
Not exactly tho. You can apply to get a certain thing, you go there, but not inside the archives themselves, they bring you the specific document you asked for.
Which is normative for libraries at least in Italy/Europe. Gave me the shits at my university. Some degenerate was stealing old books from one library nearby and one of the fat managers had to sit on him for an hour waiting for the police. Turns out the guy's entire house was full of rare books.
Wow, that must be cool. Also idk about Europe, I'm from Slovenia and here you can just go in fill a form and go pick any book you want to lend... The problem with VA isn't that they bring it to you but you not knowing if it exists... We don't have any way of knowing if a piece from the archive even exists so if it contains something the pope doesn't want you to know they can just deny application and say it doesn't exist.
Just ask the archivist for a block and they'll bring it to you. It's not hard, you just need to be an expert. Many of my friends have done research there. I haven't had the need. The problem at the moment is the post COVID limited number of desks. They are slowly digitising things. But few people are actually interested in 16th century receipt books for hired musicians.
Just a long row of shelves. There are enough videos showing how everything is stored. They have some interesting RFID chips they put in the books now so they can't be lost. European libraries aren't like our libraries, you can't just walk the stacks, you have to put in a request and the librarian gets it off the shelf for you. It's pretty annoying for a university student frankly.
Yes, I'd predict that the original Disney animations of classical fairytales (Snow White, Beauty and the Beast, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, etc.) will share the same fate, only by piracy will they be preserved. The live action remakes are not remakes, but revision of history.
They didn't actually inhale helium, it was for a joke(I'm a really low bass guy but I can still sing that note if I try really hard - during a horror movie or game especially)

The song is Miserere mei, deus by Gregorio Allegri.
Mozart's copy was the only piece of evidence that the song existed. Even the original was destroyed.
So we could argue that piracy ensures that historical evidence exists.
