How often do you consume the stuff you pirate? How do you avoid "hoarding"? in c/[email protected]

I buy refirb server drives . With a raid array and warranty, the risk of a failing drive is within an acceptable range for me.

This listing was a bit cheaper last I looked, so just over $10/TB is more accurate to say now haha.

I've used serverpartdeals for 2 Seagate 16TB drives. I had 1 drive start to show signs of premature failure (unusually slow read/write speeds and read errors).

Their support is amazing. They 2nd day Air shipped me a replacement (after asking for advanced replacement) so I could rebuild my array before returning the old drive. No cost to me.

Good service gives me way more confidence in a store front than just positive product reviews. Can't recommend these guys enough.

Drive space can be had for less than 10USD a TB, so I'd hardly call hoarding a problem. Unless youre hoarding hundreds of copies of Call of Duty

Have you ever caught a marketing or spam email sent using one of your email aliases? in c/[email protected]

Strangely no. I wonder if it being a @proton address is enough to kill the spam service. Many legit websites won't accept an @proton either, idk.

What are some privacy focused forms of entertainment? in c/[email protected]

Motorcycling. Nearly all modern bikes have no ability to touch the internet, so you can get into a really fun hobby with practical benefits without being spied on.
