> The dataset, which allegedly contains more than 10 petabytes of sensitive information

> Cyber security experts who have reviewed the data say the group is offering a limited preview of the alleged dataset, for thousands of dollars, with full access priced at hundreds of thousands of dollars

at $10 per TB that would be $100k for storage

> An account calling itself FlamingChina posted a sample of the alleged dataset on an anonymous Telegram channel

Thinking you're anon on Telegram in the big 2026? There are real places to hawk this data. Sounds like BS

10$/TB on what planet?

I don't think even something like ipfs or whats that crypto that pays you for storage and bandwidth? storj? (if that even is still a thing?) has 10PB

You can get 5$/TB on shit like Wasabi but the data could only be pulled once or the bill would be in the hundreds of millions and they would absolutely notice 10PB of data on a single user account

Not any less than Toshiba, which is very quickly becoming a very enterprise-driven drive

I replaced My "I can stand to lose this" array with Seagate EXOS enterprise drives that were pulls from dells with <10 hours power on time for dirt fucking cheap. Somebody dumped hundreds of them on the market at the same time around ~180 USD each so I blew my load on them. Everything I care about is on an array of HGST helium drives. I've never lost one of those, lost tons of WD and only one seagate personally

edit: forgot the drive failure chart

tfw had a maxtor diamondmax 20GB drive, that thing was so slim and quiet compared to everything else. it was wild time back then man

Seagate has caught up and exceeded expectations. WD is having a lot of issues and lest we forget the CMR/SMR bullshit

Back then the only place in my home town was a city over at a military surplus hilariously enough. My parents bought us an IBM (at the time their canadian brand of the Aptiva was called Ambra) full black vcr pizza-box shaped desktop with a cyrix media GX processor in it. within a week or two of the warranty expiring the CPU died so we went out to the city to the surplus and they tested the CPU and then took it and a screw and screwed it to one of the joists near the test bench and said "you need a new CPU" and to this day it's still screwed to that joist. I remember that day like it was yesterday and I was like 8 or 9 at the time, Cyrix MediaGX 266

actually come to think of it we were the first family in my friends group I knew to have internet that wasn't dialup. we skipped it entirely because my family was so behind with everything. we signed on with Rogers Wave @ Home I think in 1995? Do you remember that @Herman_Hetherington? There was ONE company in North America that was distributing WAN over COAX and it was Wave@Home so if you had whatever cable company in the US it was Cable Company Wave @ Home, and then they all dropped the Wave part and it was just Company @Home until some merger with Yahoo then everything was Yahoo@Home. Back when they still offered NNTP for free 😭

They fucked up the roll out with the original LANCity modems (pic related) so every one of them was unlocked so if you had a 10/100 ethernet card in your computer you got the full 100mbit up and down for like, 6 or 7 months before they pushed an update to fix it but people had backed up the original firmware so you could downgrade it and restore the same speed for another like 2-3 years. shit was so ca$h. second pic also related, me and my bitch during 1995

I'm in Oz so while we did get cable here around that time, the two companies who cabled streets were both very expensive and capped downloads pretty low so unless you needed the ping it wasn't worth getting. DSL came around 2000 so that's what my family hopped on at blazing fast 128kb.

I do remember the company that cabled my street had Optus@home interestingly enough

Seagate and WD have swapped this position for as long as I've known either company. HGST is a WD product but -- and hear me out -- this is their only enterprise product worth putting any kind of trust in. their helium filled 0 friction drives absolutely mint, I've got first gen helium drives running still with perfect SMART.

I am not shilling HGST, but I will buy them where available. I am however shilling for helium-filled drives because zero friction is definitely an added bonus to longevity in 24/7 enterprise operations

Good thing Poast uses all enterprise NVMe. Cold storage is spinning rust because storing 10 copies of 1TB of text and 3 copies of 5TB of media in multiple offsite locations is very costly (this is just Poast, not considering the several dozen TB Poast TV uses or the fuck huge database of Poast's Matrix Server)

brother anything helps. 5, 10, 15$. I am not here trying to break the bank for anybody but I do regularly have to remind people that it isn't free to run because unfortunately we don't ever meet monthly amounts. our operating costs I tried to fairly divvy up in the monthly 3000$/mo goal but we do have biannual and triennial bills as well that are hard to factor into that due to taxes and stuff. you wanna send a dollar a year? go ahead, there's literally like 15 people doing that. we get 74 cents of it but it's 74 cents we wouldn't have otherwise
