The cable one is just a regular SATA connector, since SAS HBAs can also control SATA drives (but not vice versa).

I believe the connector you are looking for is called SFF-8482. It is available in backplane and cable versions.

OP should be looking at backup before considering RAID anyway, because RAID is not backup.

The equivalent of SAS expanders for SATA are called port multipliers, and the JMS562 chip in the picture can act as one (as well as becoming a sort of RAID controller).

Disclaimer: this is not from experience so perhaps someone who do run servers with USB HDDs can comment on long term stability of USB as an interface.

Technically speaking, even USB 3 gen 1 (5Gb/s (gigabits per sec)) is far more than enough to saturate a broadband connection (probably under 1Gb/s). Assuming you’re going to use mechanical HDDs, best case they can transfer around 200MB/s (that’s megabytes per sec)), so no problem there either.

You might want to use external 3.5 inch HDDs as they have separate power supplies (less picky on power supplied from USB) and are much more likely to be CMR (which performs better than SMR, best if you check the specific model’s spec to make sure it is CMR) than 2.5 inch ones.

And we’ll leverage said feature until we become the market leader, at which point we will abandon it and begin the next phase of enshittification.

I think you need to manually adjust the length of the audio stream after you extracted it, they are usually of the common fixed sample rates (like 44.1kHz or 48kHz) and are not tied to the frame rate of the video stream (other than being the same length in time).

For such a small percentage change (a few seconds over something like an hour long) “Change Speed” in an audio editor should be good enough, the shift in pitch should not be noticeable.

Is my understanding correct that Youtube only cares about paying the music right holders? (Because those complains the loudest?) That is, if someone creates an AMV by combining audio and visuals from different sources and uploads it to Youtube, Youtube only gives the monetize profit to the song owner, but not the visuals rights owners?

He’s still bitter someone Sponsorblocked his cat segment :-)

Nor in some Lemmy clients (like Voyager), hopefully spoiler support would get better over time.

In addition, kbin does not federate posts posted by bots (currently), so [email protected] appears empty on kbin.social even though they are federated. You’ll need to use an account on a Lemmy instance to participate there at this time, unfortunately.

I thought this is better suited for next week, but here you go.

葬送(Sousou) can be both a noun or a verb, as a noun meaning “Funeral Procession” (which is the wikipedia page that corresponds to the Japanese entry 葬送), or simply “Funeral” (but usually 葬儀(Sougi) or 葬式(Soushiki) is used to just refer to the ceremony).

As a verb 葬送（する）, usually it means “to attend a funeral”, but it also means “to give somebody a funeral”, and if you stretch that a bit, “to cause somebody to have their funeral”.

So the translation “Frieren at the funeral” is using the “attend” sense of the verb, but there is another meaning to “Sousou no Frieren” that will probably be revealed in the next episode.

As far as human is concerned Frieren was alive before reliably recorded history, and will go on to live so long for generations to come. To see her commenting “Elves are on a slow decline to extinction” I first feel sad, and then realize it’d be so slow it would be unimaginable to me.

Frieren will probably live at least another 1,000 years. Will Frieren still be alive in 10,000 years? Will she have overcome elves’ lack of passion at least once and have an offspring during that time? If so, will her offspring goes on to live another 10,000 years? If elves will be going extinct, it’ll still be a long, long time in the future.

EDIT:

Next week will be the episode with the same name as the series title: “Sousou no Frieren”.

One of the (many) things that I really enjoy about this series is its portrayal of demons.

I haven’t seen this portrayal before Frieren, it is an intriging idea, and I think the author did a convincing job with the example of the demon girl, that it is totally not the “yesterday’s enemy can be tomorrow’s friends” trope you see in so many other novels/mangas/animes.
