As opposed to the “totally competent, fair, and capable voluntary moderators of reddit?” Have you ever spent any time over there? Plenty of people get banned from subs simply for commenting in other subs that a mod might not like.

The first paragraph of the OP states this.

Perhaps you’re an AI who only hallucinated a circuit design.

Yeah the headline really leaves you with a nice surprise when you read the article.

Ban evasion. I had literally this same exact situation happen and lost my 10 year old account. I talked about piracy in /r/Movies and got banned then sitewide permabanned for accidently commenting there from a different account.

Oh my gosh, what a rollercoaster of a story.

Oh, dad! 😆😆

Time to get you back to the old folks home and then find out how you keep getting out.

I think it depends on what you’re storing. If it’s video then you’ll want bigger drives because you’ll fill your array of small drives up quickly and trying to manage 10 or 15 1TB HDDs will get out of hand quickly. Backing up isn’t super critical with large “Linux ISOs” since you can just torrent most everything again to replace missing files.

For fast throughput of small files, I think smaller drives in an array win out and if these are important files, it probably wouldn’t be too expensive to buy a couple of large HDDs to backup the entire array.
