Just note that if you 3D print something, if you use the wrong material, there’s a chance it may melt.

I would heavily suggest not doing this. HDDs are significantly more reliable than flash storage when it comes to long-term, power-off data retention. Period. There’s a relatively little-known fact about SSDs and flash storage where they aren’t actually rated to sit around with data on them for all that long. The voltages stored inside of them degrade and the data is slowly lost over time if they aren’t powered on. The enterprise SSDs that I work on are rated for 3 months - as in, set it on a shelf for three months, and after that, if you don’t power it on, it isn’t guaranteed that all of your data will still be there. And this is talking about ultra-redundant, enterprise SAS SSDs. MicroSDs don’t have any of that redundancy. (And yes - this implies that setting a bunch of important flash drives in a safe for ten years is not a great idea. That is true! It’s unlikely that you will experience data loss, but it’s more likely than with an HDD)

Just back them up in multiple places. I’d suggest Backblaze for offsite storage; I use it to back up my important data.

~$2500USD/ea, for anyone else as curious as me

Out of curiosity, what’s wrong with medium? (Serious question)

@[email protected] - are these available somewhere as full res pictures already? And/or will they be after the desktop is chosen? Or will only the chosen one be available?

Must be part of Reddit’s new rebrand

Although if y’all sold a stuffed animal of whatever adorable thing is in the middle right picture, I’d buy it in a heartbeat

Redwoods are so freakin’ cool.

That is all!

The Crucial option is good because of more upgrade ability in the future. But - here’s another idea, that’s right around $100 but will be even smaller & more portable: Drive like this one: https://a.co/d/2dnQ1w1 With an adapter like this one: https://a.co/d/eiYVTvu

That said, I think your crucial SSD+enclosure would work just fine. I’ve got one of the m.2 adapters above and it’s a handy little thing so I know that works, too.

 

I just saw a post about this on the Lemmy Connect community and thought it would be a pretty neat feature for Memmy as well. Something to filter communities by keyword. E.g. block any community that has “meme” in the name somewhere. It would work differently from the other filtering types, I believe.

Side note - how exactly does Memmy’s keyword filtering work? If I block the word “politics”, will it block any post that has the word “politics” in the title/body? Or will it even block a post if somebody went in the comments and commented “politics” somewhere?

…and while I’m here. From what I can tell, after blocking a community, there isn’t any way to unblock it (at least easily). Is there a way to implement this, or is it already here and I just don’t know how to do it?
