  • For 1k you can build a beast.

    Just throwing out an option if you aren’t aware, gohardrives on ebay and on their site sell used Hdds. 10Tb for $80. The catch is they’ve been used in data centers for 5 years. The company will guarantee the drives for an addition 5 years and it could save you a lot of money depending on how much you want to risk it. I went with 3, one being a parity drive in case other goes bad.


  • Openstreetmaps let’s you write some insanely precise queries. There’s a company around that had as a plan to team up with governments to pinpoint mass shooters when they were streaming (as a usage case).

    So say in the video it was clear they were in X city and they see things in the video like McDonald’s, Starbucks, fenced in playgrounds, churches, what have you you can give the query a bounding box with all that info and very quickly narrow down where the video could be taken.

    I think there was also some people who would pinpoint images from mountain outlines as a game. Kind of like geoguessr on steroids.
