There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?

  • Fair enough, I misunderstood your argument. I appreciate your demonstration. Any chance you’d be willing to share your script? I have a few ideas on how to play with it.

    Edit: I forgot, I actually had a HDD fail on me, luckily I was able to recover some of the data. Many .flac files on it were completely corrupted and unreadable past a certain point. The .aiff files I had were perfectly readable. I suspect they were at least partially corrupted. Luckily, I was able to re download all of the affected files. So, no data was actually lost.


  • Sorry if I’m mostly focusing on paragraph 3 but I have to. MP3 CDs sound way worse than a redbook audio CD though. You can losslessly compress PCM by about 50% by using a codec like flac or alac, but there is data loss if you use a lossy format like .mp3. You can compress 20 vacation photos taken by an iPhone 16 to fit on a 1.44 mb floppy disk and you will have something resembling the original data, but I think you’ll agree it’s worse. Back to my original point, A CD-R is much more likely to reatain data for 5 years than an SSD is. Unless it’s periodiclly powered on of couse. I have an HDD from 2008 in my PC actually. I’m often impressed how long they can last.
