For LTO8 which can store ~12TB/Tape it's about a 3k investment for used and cobbled togetherness for the drive and anything else, e.g. tape loaders or HBA cards.
About 6-8k new and properly done.
Then 50-80 per tape
Just looked it up and there's like 20 terabyte tape drives on NewEgg for about a hundred bucks.
Tape? Where‽
It's the defining line between art for the rich to laundry money and actual art
I've had TB hundreds and hundreds of times, it's one of the only fast food I could eat every day for the rest of my life and never get sick of it
We just have superior digestive bloodlines!
No brother, I have witnessed it with my own eyes brother!

Honestly, what's disappointing about sysd? I know it violates the whole does one thing principle and then the whole age bs, but overall I've never had anything major with it
Oh that? That was probably (not)Skynet, our third party identification provider. Not really sure what they do, probably spelled out somewhere in this 45900 page ToS/privacy policy
Fuck, sorry about that, please just shoot over your ID and your username and I'll get that taken care of in a few days!
If you want to also shoot over all your financial details I could get it all done in a few hours!

Why am I cross-posting .ml content?
I cross-post from .ml to the nearest relevant non-.ml comm to reduce the influence of .ml comms and indirectly, the instance as a whole, to help vitilize non-.ml comms and make it an easier decision for other instance admins to defederate because one key reason I identified that admins don't want to defederate is because .ml still has some very large comms and some active niche comms.
Some highlights from the link:
.ml admin, Nutomics continued transphobia https://lemmy.world/post/29222558 The original transphobic Comment from Nutomic: https://lemmy.world/post/18236068
"If you don't support Russia then you just don't understand geopolitics" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/27352415
"Don't worry guys, the Uyghur Genocide was REALLY just birth control! ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/30580167
"See! nobody died IN Tiananmen Square, just AROUND it, so it doesn't count!!" ~ Davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/30673342
"NK is actually good and anything counter to that is Western propaganda!" ~dessalines, .ml admin, dev https://lemmy.world/post/31595035
General negative sentiment to other instances who haven't "seen the way" yet ~davel, .ml admin https://lemmy.world/post/27426510
And so so much documentation on clear heavy handed censorship and bias also on the link. So much I can't even put them all here because this comment would be really long.
I believe the behavior of its admins (the main admins are Lemmy devs) does harm to the overall growth of the Lemmy-verse and maybe even the Thrediverse (since Lemmy kinda kicked off the Thrediverse) because of its association with the devs of Lemmy and their insistence to use .ml as their personal political platform to spread harmful propaganda
On the outside, bringing up Lemmy frequently leads to comments like "Lemmy? Isn't that the place with a bunch of tankies?" Or "Tried Lemmy, but found it full of pro Russia crap so I left". The best way forward from that I see is to either widely defederate from .ml like the rest of the Triad, or pressure them to put a fair and unbiased as possible admin team.
I believe this is from the book The Fountain of Youth, or Curing by Water
