What to you was your biggest loss of pirated content? (kbin.melroy.org)

We all have our favorites that we go-to overtime to meet our pirating needs. We've also watched a lot of big names in this year alone, go down in a blaze of glory and others in a whimper. I'm awfully curious what, to you, is the biggest loss to date?

For me it's Uloz, first thing that came to mind. Uloz has served me very well in acquiring music albums through them, for a good 6 years I recall that I used them for getting albums. When they decided to switch the way in how they do their service, that to me felt like a sucker punch. No longer can I just collect album names, find a sacrificial wi-fi network and go to work.

I also remember missing ISOHunt, EmuAsylum, EmuParadise, OG Pirate Bay, AnimeSuge (soon HiAnime once the piss-ants of ACE get their way soon) and I really hope we don't lose Internet Archive. But with the way it's been hammered by shitty people and court lawsuits, I predict that it doesn't really have much time on it's side in the near future.

All I can say is just thank you to all of those sources and of course the ones everyone is familiar with. Helped save me a lot of money, helped me increase my interests and eh, can't argue against free shit.

What RAID system did you use which corrupted your data on power loss? With software raid like zfs I believe corruption on power loss shouldn't be a problem (unless the hardware fails. Or your using btrfs raid 5/6, ignoring all warnings).

Edit: For this reason I'm looking into buying another drive for an offline backup of my media files. I could redownload them, but it'd be increasingly more annoying.

I have this https://shop.terra-master.com/products/terramaster-d5-300-usb3-1-gen1-type-c-5-bay-external-hard-drive-enclosure-support-raid-0-raid-1-raid-5-raid-10-clone-jbod-single-disk-hard-disk-raid-storage-diskless

I had a support ticket with them and they told me it was hardware failure. I'm not sure right now but I know It is and was raid 5.

I'd also bet against not hardware failure.

Traditional RAID5 (and others) is subject to data loss in the middle of a write that can break entire arrays if it happens.

Seen it on various LSI controllers, mdraid in Linux, and even a Windows implementation in Storage Spaces. I mean it's rare and mostly won't, but if you get unlucky and lose just enough data from just the right places, well....

Wouldn't imagine that any particular NAS appliance is using some magic sauce that prevents it from happening if you get unlucky as to a crash/power outage.
