A community for discussing events around the World
Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is why I hate when articles mention the size of the data - that rarely actually matters. What matters is what makes up the data - 80GB is one BluRay, or the entirety of English Wikipedia's text.
Well the size is somewhat important.
It gives a glimpse into what could have been stolen.
But I agree it's not like 80GB of hack is automatically worse than 20GB of hack if it's stolen source code or payment information or similar.
Didn't know BluRays could be that large, I've only heard of them going up to 25 or 50. Any more info on this?
I remember seeing a Atmos Dolby Vision rip. 125GB
Nice, TIL.
BDXL disks have three layers and can hold roughly ~100GB. Mainly used for 4K movies.

If it's only text, it's four times as big as the entirety of English Wikipedia.
If this does not include media that a lot of data
It's internal stuff, so yeah 80gb could be quite damning, the group claims it shows things reddit doesn't want people to see.
A snapshot of all of reddit's public text posts up to March 2023 runs about 38GB compressed (zstd) on archive.org. Decompressed, it's well over 300GB.
An internal zstd of 80GB may contain private messages as well or other morsels.
