Actually, they do. I’d love to see some laws restricting foreign ownership of media, but as it stands, they do have the right.

What you’re proposing is restricting free speech, and I’m not okay with that! Making media be more open about their ownership, funding, etc. is worthwhile, but as long as they’re not trafficking in hate speech or other illegal activities, they should be allowed to share their views no matter how much you or I disagree with them.

Nothing in this article is talking about cold storage. And if we are talking about cold storage, as others gave pointed out, HHDs are also not a great solution. LTO (magnetic tape) is the industry standard for a good reason!

Anyone who has said that doesn’t know what they’re talking about. Magnetic tape is unparalleled for long-term/archival storage.

This is completely different. For active storage, solid-state has been much better than spinning rust for a long time, it’s just been drastically more expensive. What’s being argued here is that it’s not performant and while it might be more expensive initially, it’s less expensive to run and maintain.

Is that a limitation of the destination filesystem?
