Actually, you could totally have demand for that font set.

I was considering how copyrighted material can still be generated after writing that, so fair. If you fed in work a and made the same modification to each piece then it would just be a modified work a and not actually new work b.
I hear you, and that was my first thought reading through the article.
According to TFA:
While games using English can rely on system UI fonts, cheap commercial fonts or open-source options, the sheer number of characters used in Japanese means high-quality fonts are extremely difficult and expensive to make, so few affordable alternatives are available. This is what made LETS an important service, but its revamped pricing and limitations have now put it beyond the reach of a good chunk of developers.
Maybe there are alternatives out there, and I think a crowd sourced open font would be a great idea. I personally have no idea how to go about organizing a project of that scope.
Also, tbf, my answer was more emotional bitching than a serious take.
I will gladly replace dishwashers with dishwashing machines if they are energy, water, and cost-efficient, but I don't believe we are discussing artisan dishwashing. This borderline association approaches sophistry, so I think it is much better to discuss the use of art and the corporate hoarding of artwork.
Monotype does seem to pay font creators well for royalties.. My frustration is the aggressive pricing models, the growth of monotype to where they own the whole market (per tfa), and the way they are demanding payment for fonts without checking to see if there is an existing license..
Basically, I will encourage and pay for fair business practices. Squeezing people for cash pisses me off. I'm not knowledgeable enough to pretend to create a free font set in this manner, but I would advocate creating tools that would fuck up the market. Open fonts would be great, but again tfa says that it's too complicated of a data set for that, and the market is too small for independent artists.
Lastly, my answer wasn't a valid solution. There are plenty of legal and social hurdles to it.
Not a fan of generative works, but this seems like a clear place to use it to fuck shit up.
Nih.hira.term.aigen.ttf Nih.katak.term.aigen.ttf Nih.kanji1.term.aigen.ttf Nih.kanji2.term.aigen.ttf Etc
Not the fault of the prompter if the resulting fonts appear to resemble licensed fonts, which are often slightly different copies of each other anyway.
Generative works cannot be copyrighted, so it would forever be in the public domain.
The only drawback would be that you would have to announce that you used slop in your game.
I was going to say that you could spackle your asshole, but then I noticed your user name.
I'm suggesting either using the secure erase utility built into your efi if available or using hdparm and calling secure erase.

I suggest calling these utilities with no other drives connected.
True, but it's not clear to me that both drives are exhibiting the behavior and it sounds more like a copy between two drives. I wouldn't rule it out and do think it is a possibility, but in my professional experience drives fail much more frequently than controllers.
It makes sense to me to test the drives individually, in another system preferably, using smart long test, which is non-destructive. Next test other drives in this system. If there are errors, try changing out the SATA cables, too. If you can shuffle the data off the drives, do so and then try running them through a secure erase in another system. A bad drive should fail the same way in another system.
My other thought for probably not being the controller is that 4TB is a very long time for a sustained transfer to fail on a flakey component. Also, there are no reports of other errors.
Sounds like a bad drive, TBH. Not as much the platters but the electronics.
If you can move all the data off and do a secure erase on it, it will tell you all lot.
The last board suggested with 5 ports would handle 4 drives in raidz2.
This is smaller even. https://pcpartpicker.com/product/hRBrxr/asrock-motherboard-970mpro3
I would prefer having the smaller board with the hba and putting 8-10 smaller drives in raidz3. That would give you 6 TB with three drives for failure to prevent loss.
Outside the drives, the cost would be under $200 for the board and the hba.
If you have an old system with two PCI-e 16 ports, then your cost is about $90 before you start buying drives.
I'm doing similar with a DDR3 system and spinning 1 TB disks. It's fast enough to serve video streams.
Ok, so if you want to do a bunch of drives in a box:

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/yFWJ7P/crucial-bx500-4-tb-25-solid-state-drive-ct4000bx500ssd1
However, that's expensive. I would go with spinning disks.
If you want to bring the cost down more,
You can drive the price down more by buying a used system.
The pile of SSDs will be easiest to stuff into a box.
You will need to get creative with cooling.

I'll be excited to play it when yuzu2 is released.
Not taking piracy, as I have purchased all my switch games. They just play better on PC.
