Thats pretty cool, never heard of those kinds of tapes. Im at somewhere between 5-10 TB myself. The cheapest storage units ive seen is about $90/month here so that would be a bit expensive, but there might be some smaller ones for item storage that i dont know about.

ah rotating the drives can is a smart solution, that could be an option.

ah good to know. hopefully will not need the recovery but if i do i would like to avoid paying thousands, because then the idea of spending money to save time in case of emergency doesnt really work anymore

My impressions is that such fireproof safes are only fireproof for so long?

i have been planning on getting on though so could perhaps store the original local copy there for additional safety. depends on the space tho

At $12/terabyte/month it seems pretty expensive for media collection (I mean: family photos are irreplaceable but generic video?)

It is the value of my time i am concerned about not the files themselves. But i can see that there are cheaper options

Other options are to use “glacier” tier S3 which is cheap to rent but ultra expensive to recover (but hopefully you won’t need that)

Ill check that out :)

Or just put a pi+HDD hidden somewhere at work/parents and copy to that

This could be an option but a little cumbersome to keep updated perhaps?

im not sure you can make tech that light

ah very nice, the sidebar is not visible by default on jerboa and i forgot to check this. great resource!

TNG is best to start after season 1. Not saying season one is bad, but it might be harder to get into for a new comer.

i think i am now prepared for what to come and will try to also watch season 1 but with the mindset that i can skip bad episodes.

I still think that lower decks and strange new worlds can not be fully enjoyed without some other older trek shown under your belt, but it’s only a few episodes so you can finish them both quickly.

getting much enjoyment out of lower decks now, but i can obviously tell there are many references i dont quite pick up on. If i end up watching it all, i will definitely go back and rewatch lower decks. Good point about few episodes, as i think i will try to squeeze in snw before i start tng-era.

Yea need to rewire my mindset there, but this is a recurring rec so i think it is one i definitely must heed!

hehe i at least assumed the more comedic aspects does not fit into the true star trek lore :p I think i have settled on starting from TNG and moving onto DS9 from there. Still considering SNW first since its not that many episodes.

be prepared for sudden urges for Rick Berman to “accidentally fall out an airlock”, if you know what I mean.

not really but it sounds like some soviet putin stuff!

Episodic is good!

Im prepared for slow start with TNG-era stuff, not sure if im prepared for TOS. But checking out a few episodes camt hurt, i guess i for some reason think i have to commit to one series from start to end and that is obviously not true

Good to know. Currently leaning towards starting from TNG first season and trying to go through it all, but will definitely check out voyager before abandoning ship if tng does not stick.

Thats a fun idea! If i knew about this before it would have been cool to do it in parallel from the start. I think i at the very least will definitely aim to go through LD again after having seen through 90s stuff if i ever get that far to pick up on the references!

Thanks for the list! I think it will be either this or try to watch TNG from the start and follow the 90s shows. But SNW first is still a contender

Btw what do you mean by syndication?

I think ill reserve TOS for if i become a trekkie! Hehe

I definitely need some of that brighter future-stuff right about now. I think what i mean with adventure of the week i mean problem of the week. It doesnt have to be jungles and temples and stuff. But i dont want that hbo-style “oh we are so dark and you have to pay attention for every fucking second of every episode or you will lose the thread because we are so intrcate and did i mention we are dark now fuck off and get depressed”

Did you stop after that or have you since seen more?

Yea i am prepared for a slow start. Leaning towards trying to see it from start to finish and if that gets hard then check out some of the good episodes mentioned here.

Didnt know about TOS-movies, i guess that is a good way to check out that era! I saw three of the tng-films as a kid. I remember liking them, but i was like 12. Only remeber one being very borg-centered

Thanks! Yes i got the impression Snw is better appreciared than Discovery and picard. Im juggling tng-era vs snw as first now

Ok, that was kindof what i had in mind so good to see that suggested. I imagine i can get a lot of addtional fun it of LD after having seen everything else. But then TNG-era before or after SNW?

Never heard of prodigy, ill check that out as well!

Hehe yea, i can see that - never saw season 2 of Picard which i heard is completely bonkers? I think tos will be a little too old for me, but it seems i will probably check out tng first. Just gotta decide if i wanna jump around like some suggested or just force my way throguh the first seasons
