@256 I remember looking at an 8GB hard drive at Best Buy in the late 90s and an employee telling me that I'd never fill that.

@256 they’re talking about IBM hard drives, so all high security facilities do. There was no faster way to yeet 75GB of data into oblivion than store it on one of those from that period. DBAN? Ain’t nobody got time for that, just let your IBM Deathstar render it inaccessible in an instant.
Yes, I’m bitter, what of it? Younger me did not give backups the respect they deserve.

duncanstephen@mastodon.social@256 Rough rule of thumb and maybe my sense is off, but I reckon 75GB of WAV files is only roughly 75 albums?
