Hey... hey g-guysgu-guys listenwouldnt it be co-guyswouldnt it be cool if someone just made a super torrent that had all the worlds media in the highest quality (flac, 1080p, etc.) I'm talking every movie, every album, every video game, every tv show, every e-book, every magazine. In the highest qualityI'd estimate the size at around 2000 terrabytes. One day in the future we will be able to pirate said torrentguys wouldnt that be coolhuh guys?guys?
But most content is shit.
>>21954064It would be really cool
>>21954064shitty idea is shitty
>I'd estimate the size at around 2000 terabytesLOL
>2000 terabytes>every movie, game, album, TV show, etc in 1080p/flacahahahahaha0/10
Wouldnt it just be better to have a 2000TB server located on an island.Then, you could travel to the said island, plug in your laptop, and download what you want.
>>21954064Then a new movie is released and the torrent is old
>>21954160this
>>219540642 petabyte isn't that much. I would estimate at least 100. No spam/porn/advertising allowed.
>>21954160Like media interets in the US wouldn't just bribe.. ur.. lobby for a war on the island nation.
>>21954185DE PIRATES HAB NUCLUR WUPNS. LETS OCCUPY THE ISLAND!
>>21954160Naturally we'd shut down the internet and this would be the anti-SOPA counter measure.Every pirate would be an actual pirate in battles against the navy to get to the server and get their shit.The server could be called "One Piece"
Wouldn't it be better to just own a planet of cybertronic bio-circuited mutant robot emu hatch-lings? I say yes.
>>21954160>>21954160>>21954160>>21954160This is fucking brilliant. But there needs to be WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY more than just 1. Every non claimed island would have a server on it, and we would lobby for >Russian>Chinese>Norkand>IranianSupport, just out of hilarious spite of the US
>>21954236>>21954213And us pirates that travel to the island, contribute movies/games/books we have saved to the server.
>>21954289This idea is awesome.Now if you'll excuse me I'll go build a boat.
>>21954289Would work great untill some /b/tard finds out and crashes it making us lose our stuff. We would need some kind of regulator, like a monk that you request what you want and he goes to the secret location of said server and retrieves it.
>>21954385But who would be the monk...I suggest a system of Who-ever finds it first gets to be the monk of all pirated pornography, media and software.
>>21954407maybe we should have a counsel, and the counsel ultimatly decides whats shit and what isnt, that way we dont have shity shit on the server.
>>21954407Richard Stallman should be the monk.
>>21954434That server would represent the only free interwebz meaning no moderation, everything goes from Cheese pizza to RMS porn.Councils wouldnt be good unless they're immortal zombies with scythes.
Alright, I got the plans together.
>>21954444The quads give the prophecy!All gather as Richard Matthew Stallman is the foretold one, The guardian of all the porn, media & software!
>>21954453Ah. True. But can we at least agree on no matrix 3?
I made a thread about the national archives when I went there. They are trying to do such a thing and preserve all media. So far they are at 7PB and just got more storage for 48PB
>>21954487:3there was palns on tpb to buy small island for server but they get only 50k $
>mfw this is fucking genius idea
lol flac
>>21954546>>21954504Right, now all we gotta do is steal the storage device used in the national archives and kill some niggers to steal an island.Also we need a drawfag to make a flag for our glorious pirate ship.
Someone start crunching some numbers.Someone calculate teh cost of the cheapest way to store roughly 10PB of data, but still have room for expansion.Someone find us a small island we can either takeover or buy for a reasonably small priceSomeone calculate how much power said server would drain and the most efficient way to power it.Engineers of /g/ fall in
Oh btw, Happy new years, just ticked 0:00 here.
>>21954636I vote our flag should be a giant middle finger.
>>21954497Sorry. We circulate one tape, we circulate ALL the tapes.
Store all the data on tapes. Billions of tapes.
>>21954652>>21954636I made a template, Give it your best shot
>>21954638Some kind of modular system of HDDs? All working in parallel?
>>21954160>implying US customs and border patrol can't search the contents of your laptop for counterfeit goods without a warrant or probably cause
>>21954708*probable cause
>>21954695That would die even with the smallest vibrations, hell the HDD's themselves would kill eachother because of that.
>>21954719So we need SSD's
>>21954731I was thinking SSDs because they retain read ability even after their write ones are expired. Does anyone know for how long? Also we wouldn't need speed.
>>21954690>Implying

>>21954827It's 6:12p 31/12 here on the NA East Coast.>>21954832>microSDDude, what?
I had this same idea a while back.I'd be down to contribute to this. Got over 2TB of tv shows and over 3TB of movies (all HD).
Imagine indexing all of this.
>>21954755this
But what if aliens decide to carpet bomb the island with magnets?
>>21954861It'd take years, probably.All this would also need a custom framework to run on.
>>21954848>clearly can't fucking calculate>not 1310720 8GB drives
What would be the cheapest way of storing all this? A friend of mine made a hobby of renting blurays and ripping them to his harddrive but it didn't take that long before he filled his 1TB F3.
>>21954856I contribute to, bout 1tb music and shows
>>21954876Well, we'd probably have enough people with everything to have a complete collection, then fileshare like normal?Or backup sites, like different mirrors around the world, beneath the seas, etc.
>>21954853MicroSDs are the current cheapest form of flash memory. And in raid, speed would not be a problem
>>21954185It would cost too much anyways.You'd have to buy electricity from another country, and it'd probably be expensive.
>tfw you have little to contribute because of your pc going insane on you a few days agoA Windows 7 64 bit iso and a few books and 40 tracks of music?
Heres the todo list guys/g/eography fags - find us an islandCode fags - make us a frameworken/g/eering fags - calculate what kind of power we will need to run a server of this size 24/7 math fags - find the cheapest way to store this data
http://www.hometheaterinfo.com/dvdlist.htmFairly complete list of every DVD released.Assuming somebody had a lot of time on their hands, multiple fast computers or it was a world-wide effort with the same disc drives and settings for their ripping material, couldn't renting/ripping be a valid method of getting most of these stored?
>>21954938>not building your own nuclear reactorsIt'd also have to be a city unto itself, for people to maintain it.>>21954971But there are some awfully rare ones out there...
>>21954938We do have "cold fusion"(e-cat)If we had a fucking island we'd go that far to get a reactor.
>>21954962How much storage will we need?
I think if /g/ was actually serious about this, we could totally do it.
>>21954988
>>21955018One metric fuckton.
>>21954988Then you need people to maintain it>>21954978You'd have to convince them to come.Then you'd need to provide food to them.Then you need to provide protection.Then you need to provide--you know what I'm getting at.Starting your own country is harder than you think.
>>21955021Yeah, we could do that or Solar.
The OS for this system would of course be gentoo.
>>21954978Ah, but we could amass a list of non-rentable content and have a dedicated group scour thrift and second-hand stores, car-boot sales and flea markets in certain areas and regularly update craigslist/gumtree pages for -everywhere- to hopefully get a hold of these rare gems.

>>21955018assuming the only language we save is english, roughly 10Pb
>>21955021>>21955036Both? We'd need as much as we could get.
>>21955029Keep in mind RMS was picked by the Quads as the prophet of piracy.He'd maintain the powerplant and grant access to the pirates seeking porn.
We need to make regular backups.Captcha: Empledge that
>>21955053>not pirating electricity
>>21955055Considering we'd be running it on Flash memory there wouldnt be much power usage all togeather.

would someone please post the pic of the fat neckbeard with the wooden sword and /g/ shield?
>>21955303That could work, but the sorting system would suck balls. Why dont we all build a collective FTP server and share that way.
>>21955285That kind of thing is useless for what's supposed to be an archive.
>>21955356Because that removes the whole LETS BUILD ON AN ISLAND SOO WE CAN BE PIRATES WITH SHIPS.
>>21955379How about this, we all connect to a FTP hive and share out stuff, but the only way to acces it is a single usb port on a island.
I was thinking about this earlier today actually - what if /g/ set up an FTP server with a folder on it where everybody had the rights to upload a .torrent to it (no other file types) and the FTP master would sort through them and delete the porn and shit from there then start them all torrenting directly onto the FTP server so sort of like people suggesting things to be uploaded?Basically people providing torrents and the server master uploading all of the torrent's contents to the FTP.
Island should be up to spec now.
>>21955396>single usb portWe'd have a web of ad-hoc linked wifi networks that spanned the island.
>>21955351He's in here somewhere
>>21955293So we write some scripts to sort them in an automated fashion. As for the CPU cycles required to mux and convert all that shit; nothing a reasonably sized botnet couldn't do with idle cycles anyway.Just look at all the distributed computational power the Bitcoin network has.

>>21955627It's pretty easy honestly, I just seriously didn't do shit all the semester, On 12 labs I had to hand in, I did like 4. My teacher was cool enough to let me do them though.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136851Using those, it would cost approximately $1 714 742.74 to get 10 PiB. Seeing as those are much cheaper priced than the normal 2 TB drives (because it is a 20-pack), that's probably our cheapest option.So, who's got $2 million dollars to spend on hard drives?Or who works at WD and can smuggle $2 million worth of hard drives out the door.
>>21957219That is actually a complete ripoff, even at the current inflated hard drive prices.

>>21957253Using those Hitachi drives, I came up with an estimated cost of $450 359.96, which is much lower than those damn WD drives.We'd be using 3753 drives (don't forget to convert TB to TiB if you're checking my math.)This is much more feasible, and might actually be possible.Although I'd love to see the RAID controller that would keep it all together.
What kind of raid would we use for the drives? I vote for raid 66
>>21957598>using less than raid 500
>>21957649>500>not 666
Instead of an Island, how about a Cluster network of all of our battlestations containing different files of this torrent and uploading it on the net?
>>21957865nah mandon't ruin it
What if there was a torrent where the only way to access the torrent was the .torrent file obtained from that same torrent.It would be the world's most exclusive torrent.

>>21954064>>21954064>>21954064To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To be better far than you are To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow that star, No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To be willing to give when there's no more to give To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man scorned and covered with scars Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star
