First Rumble Video -
🕑 Added 2023-03-28 06:14:36 +0000 UTCRecently I saw how Linus's channel got hacked, and he got all his videos deleted - And, the type of scam he described was targeted at me very recently. Scammers pretending to be Sponsors, and they send you a .pdf file containing a fake contract that turns out to be some sort of malware. I was lucky and checked it on an isolated dummy computer, but when thinking back, I was "this" close to having the entire channel deleted - We don't have millions of subs the way Linus does, so he was big enough to have connections to get his channel back. I don't really have that level of connections to a YouTube representative or anything, so as a backup plan; from now on I'll be uploading all my content on both YouTube, Rumble, and Twitter (If the video is short enough) -
I know it's not a full proof plan, but at least in case something happens to our YouTube channel, we'll have an alternative of some sort. Anyways, I uploaded my first Rumble video today, so if anyone wants to the FIRST rumble subscriber, feel free to go for it :)

If you're getting a new rig, Linus has multiple videos about turning your old PC into a NAS server (which luckily we can still watch lol), you might consider checking them out since slapping multiple hard drives into your new computer might not be desirable. (It'll always be multiple drives for proper back up, there's no way around it. HDD is theoretically recoverable but can be hella expensive and the people that fixed it might check more than enough data on your drive.) Pre-built NAS like Synology also works but those are pretty costly but saves you a lot of hassles. Oh, and if the new graphics car you're getting is the newest gen (Nvidia RTX 40, AMD 7000, Intel ARC), you can also consider transcode your back up videos into AV1 using hardware encoding feature, which can save you like 40% of file size if you're tight on storage. LTT will probably have a video on that so no hurry.
yeah, to be clear both SSD and NVME are both "short term" storage. HDD and Tapes (i.e. magnetic devices) are the only real long term storage. When I say pull, that means that my server with the data has shared drives enabled. The back up machine has one of those shared drives mapped to a local drive letter (is: s: ) and the backup software backs every thing on S: to the local drive D: (i.e. pull the data off the server) which is the internal raid disks on the backup machine. This is opposed to "push" which would be the server with the data sending the backups to the backup machine. In the pull scenario the backup machine does all the work using a lot less processing and disk I/O on the server machine.
