Regarding the last boost, I am not informed enough to know whether the increases in RAM prices are affecting other components, but I can attest to a recent explosion in hard drive prices. I've seen folks blame the AI industry, which I'm sure deserves it, but there are probably several factors at play.
Years ago, I want to say circa 2017, I started buying 4 Tbyte external USB hard drives because I had access to several low-power NUCs and this was an easy, low-cost way for me to make a resilient, high-capacity storage cluster, one I still use today and am quite happy with. 4 Tbyte was the "elbow" at the time, meaning the lowest dollar-per-terabyte. However, they were also the least expensive: I picked up many of these for $20-$40.
Today, the same drives are going for $140 at retailers like NewEgg. You can find some for slightly cheaper if you hunt around, and if you're willing to risk refurbished drives you can find them for a bit cheaper still. But from what I can tell you're still looking at $100-ish per drive. That's an increase of 2.5x-7x over the price eight years ago for a component that by conventional logic would have come down in price significantly in that period.
I guess if I were a filthy capitalist I'd consider selling off my hard drives for a 2.5-7x ROI, but I'm more into use value than exchange value.
(by the way, this post is not an invitation to critique my hardware choices, suggest alternatives, or compare notes about "home labs").

A digitally created image depicts a fishbowl with a fish swimming inside, all rendered in shades of orange and black with white outlining. The fishbowl is oval-shaped, filled with a dark orange, speckled pattern that resembles a galaxy or nebula, and has a white outline defining its edge. Inside the bowl, a single fish with a detailed scale pattern and visible fins swims towards the right. The bowl appears to be dripping a thick, viscous liquid from its base, outlined in white. The background is a solid orange, slightly lighter in tone than the fishbowl, creating a vibrant, stylized composition.

Finally catching up on season 3 of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon and the thing I dig the most is that the color palette is lifted from the great Spanish painters. Straight down to the intro titles, which are a very clear call out to Goya's phantasmagoria.
For the better part of a decade Donald Trump has demonstrated a measure of the monstrosity that makes up his character, or lack thereof. He keeps challenging the nation to imagine how he could ever get any worse as an alleged human being, and yet he.
#Politics #uk_politics #SpecialRelationship Even though the "special relationship" could be reasonably argued to have been teetering since 1943, the Tr*mp lawsuit against the Beeb for 10bn will, I think, be the final dagger in its back.

A Paris labor court ruled on Tuesday that Paris Saint-Germain must pay more than 60 million euros to Kylian Mbappé in a dispute over unpaid wages and bonuses linked to the end of his contract before his 2024 move to Real Madrid.
The image is a black background with a cartoon illustration and bold green and white text. On the left side of the image is a cartoon character with a white face, large black eyes, and a mischievous expression. The character is wearing a tall, striped green and white hat and a blue bow tie. To the right and below the character is the text "I WILL DRINK COFFEE HERE OR THERE I WILL DRINK COFFEE EVERYWHERE," with "COFFEE" appearing in large, bold, orange letters. The overall design has a playful and whimsical feel.

DiscogsDienstag: Joy Division – The Peel Sessions (Dezember 1979)
Joy Division haben im Laufe ihrer kurzen Karriere zwei Peel Sessions aufgenommen, beide im Jahr 1979 und der Zufall wollte es, dass ich die letzte Session zuerst vorstelle. Sie wurde am 26.11.1979 in den Maida Vale Studios in London aufgenommen und am 10.12.1979 gesendet. Joy Division nahmen vier Lieder auf, die sie bis dahin nur live gespielt hatten und von denen noch keine Studioaufnahmen existierten. Das hatten sie bei der ersten Peel Session auch so gehandhabt. Die Songs der zweiten Session waren „Twenty-Four Hours“, „Colony“, „Sound Of Music“ und „Love Will Tear Us Apart“. Produziert wurde die Session von ihrem Manager Tony Wilson (1950 – 2007), der auch Inhaber des legendären Labels Factory Records war. Veröffentlicht wurde die Peel Session 1987 auf dem eigenen Label von John Peel, Strange Fruit Records.
„Love Will Tear Us Apart“ und „Twenty-Four Hours“ bilden die A-Seite der EP, „Colony“ und „Sound Of Music“ die B-Seite. „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ blieb ein Non-Album-Track, die Versionen der 7″- und 12″-Singles wurden am 08.01.1980 und Anfang März 1980 neu aufgenommen. „Twenty-Four Hours“ und „Colony“ kamen auf das zweite Album „Closer“, das in der zweiten März-Hälfte aufgenommen wurde, dabei sang Ian Curtis auch „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ neu ein. „The Sound Of Music“ schließlich schaffte es in der Aufnahme vom 08.01.1980 auf die Compilation „Still“, auf der alle unveröffentlichten Studioaufnahmen sowie das letzte Konzert von Joy Division vom 02.05.1980 und einige weitere Liveaufnahmen zu finden sind. „Still“ erschien am 09.10.1981, genau wie „Love Will Tear Us Apart“ (Juni 1980) und „Closer“ (18.07.1980) postum, denn Sänger Ian Curtis nahm sich am 18.05.1980 das Leben, am Vortag der geplanten Abreise für ihre erste USA-Tour. Er wurde nur 23 Jahre alt.
