Do you have a digital hoarding problem /g/?
>>52080571
>purchase new digital devices before you're ready
Ready for what?
>>52080571
Yes, I have a very serious problem. Fortunately, I mostly hoard images. A terrabyte can go a hell of a long way.
>>52080571
Since when did collecting become hording?
I like collecting movies and T.V shows, I think I have about 5 TB of them combined. Which is actually pretty small.
>>52080571
The fuck? Hoarding useful info is like hoarding books, there are never enough. Fucking retarded web journalists
nop, only using a little over 100G of storage space atm
I've got 5tb of storage capacity
1tb goes to games, which is nearly full
1tb goes to what and my music library
1tb goes to porn
1tb goes to general shit I don't want to delete
1tb goes to tv/movies/anime
All spread across 2 2tb drives and a 1tb wd black for games
>Hoarding is only a problem when goyim do it
Facebook, google hoarding data is okay though! Remember, jews can do nothing wrong.
>>52080883
>When you save every e-book, every movie and every TV season that you’ve “binge-watched” on your tablet or other digital device — isn’t that another symptom of being a digital hoarder? In the analog era, you would have donated used books to charity, hosted a garage sale to get rid of old albums you never listen to, or simply dumped these items in the trash.
I know nobody who sells off their physical book or CD or DVD/Bluray collection. Since when did that become hoarding?

Probably. I never delete anything. I have stuff that's over 10 years old. My first laptop still works, has windows 95 on it and I switch it up once in a while
>>52080801
for me, collecting is organized, hoarding isn't

>>52080988
>living in a third world shithole like the US
>>52081026
we have data caps in Belgium
also, I hope you don't get 3 strikes, frenchie
I have 1 tb of programming and other educational tutorials. I don't view it as hoarding. The stuff i have mostly disappears in like a month from the internet and i could have never dl it again. If i gave my collection to any school they'd be grateful as fuck. I see it as collection books for personal library which you in the end leave to others (your kids, local community etc)

>>52081045
Hadopi doesn't do actually anything. They fired half of their employees due to budget constraint in 2014.
I have downloaded several Tbs of data and never got a mail. I don't plan to stop.
I think there's a definite difference between actual hoarding (like collecting reaction images, anime, tv series and music) and storing useful and meaningful information like books and manuals, personal photos and videos, archive of your projects, co-hosting valuable web stuff, etc.
And even then there not too much wrong with having a media archive. Not everyone is consent with quality and assortment of the streaming services.

>I think there's a definite difference between actual hoarding (like collecting reaction images, anime, tv series and music) and storing useful and meaningful information like books and manuals, personal photos and videos, archive of your projects, co-hosting valuable web stuff, etc.

Mostly gay.
>>52081253

>>52081257
I like them, but they are unorganised as fuck and I don't know when will I start going through them to sort them out.

>>52081045
There are unlimited options in belgium.
I lived in Brussels for 9 years andI remember having no data cap (was with Voo, some phone/tv/internet package).
I know caps are the most common but you can (could?) just pay 5€ at belgacom to remove the limit and other providers had unlimited offers too
>>52081312
>>mfw 4.7gb of backlogged anime
>4.7gb

>upgrade to new data plan
That doesn't even make sense, the entire point of storing stuff is that you don't need to download it again.
>>52081312
So, one season?
>>52081312
I easily have 13TB of anime saved
been working to keep all my data essential
currently everything i have is 522gb, that includes all my music, movies, series, pictures, programs and games
ideally some day ill have it down to 250, then i'll be happy when it's a snap to back up or have several copies of on cheap ssd's
>>52081313
Most, if not all internet providers here have unlimited* packages in Belgium.
*If you go over the data cap, we'll throttle your speed to 3kbs.

>>52080571
I just bought 2 new 2tb hdds for storing "stuff" on. I basically save any picture/video I find funny or sexy, so I'm saving quite a lot of shit, usually multiple times as I forget I've saved it before. I think I even still have my homework from high school saved somewhere on floppy disks.
>>52082860
What sort of sexy images do you save?
>>52082881
Whatever tickles my fancy. This is my sfw /s/ folder.
>>52082972
Look into waifu2x if you ever want to enlarge your pictures.
Worked great for me.
>>52083052
Oh yes, I've already used it to great effect on my /e/ folder. Does it work on 3D though?
i have about 10tb of space and i'm using most of it
i never delete everything
i have complete backups of every hard drive every first computer i ever owned, all the way back to the windows 98 era
it's not like it even takes that much space, given how fast hard drives have grown
Yes. I even got a server to help give myself hording space.
I'm a physical hoarder, too. I wish I could agford to add more house.
>>52080801
Collecting means you know you have it.
I have no idea what I have in my porn folders.
>>52083093
Seems to work best on well lit images taken in a studio. Results vary though.
What magnification do you use? I usually go crazy and set it to 10.
>>52083052
that's insane. i don't like chinese cartoons but it works well for other stuff.
>>52080571
I wish I hadn't deleted my older digital hoards.
I want to find that cute brunette girl posing cutely in some office formal wear
>>52083167
I find it makes photos blurrier or a bit too smooth, as if it's a watercolour painting if you know what I mean. It seems to work best when there is not a lot of detail in the images.
I'm just using the 2x, as it says on the tin.
>>52083231
That's why I set it to 10x, as I only see that blurriness when I zoom in ridiculously close.
>>52080746

>>52082972
Wanna upload that Asian folder for me?
Is it hoarding if I made a Plex server with my leftover parts from my old build and put all my shit on there?
Granted, I did buy a 4TB HDD to download every steam game I own (About 350) onto. It barely worked (Had like 100GB left over) until I got several games in a row recently that were like 30-50GB each. Deleted all the shit I did not need or not planning to play.
>>52080571
No such thing as "digital hoarding", just idiots who bought a nexus device or some other device without expandable storage.
>>52080571
Yep. Fortunately, unlike real-life hoarding, space is stupid cheap, and I'm not a knuckle-dragger so I know how to move it and compress it.
>>52083312
Just spend a few days on /int/ and you will get 99% of the content of the folder.

To reach those caps you need to be constantly downloading at full speed, 12 hours a day everyday. I've only been throttled once, and I was literally trying to hit the cap that month, I filled up a 1 tb drive with the top seeded torrents, I formatted it and got another ~200gb. I did this around the mid of the month, so I probably used up ~300gb with normal usage. I received a letter to my house, seems like they just needed to verify I'm not hosting a streaming site or whatever. After 2 days I had once again access to full speed internet. I think this is just their way of subconsciously threatening the biggest torrenters to stop or to face the consequences (100Kbps, 12Kb/s).
>>52083271
tl;dr
I only really keep my favorite shit and I don't store porn on my computer. I usually shift-delete something then end up regretting it later when I want to consume it again.
>>52080571
yes i have 4 1Tb drive full of porn, games, movies. The only thing i can justify having is some games that are just too good to not play once in a while, and music.
It would be fine, because usually i delete stuff over time. But the worst is, whenever i browse porn, i have to save every image/video i look at.
>>52080571

>>52080571

>>52080571
nope despite the fact i just bought a 2TB and 1TB drive since my 500GB was full, i dont believe i have any dumb problem like that
No, because I have a 250gb HDD and can't afford and other one
And I'm still a member of several private trackers with a decent ratio :^)
>>52084459
also i wish i can get money someday for building a nas with several TB's of space, 3.5TB is pretty small
I only consider it hording if it's not categorized or unorganized. I recently backed up all of my stuff and formatted my hard drive and am redoing my entire way organizing because my old way did not scale well. I'm building a large NAS in a few months and need to prepare in the mean time.
>>52080988
I live in US and I don't have a data cap nor have I ever.
>>52081674
There's an archive for a reason
>>52082731
This!!!! Hdd space is so cheap and takes up less space then a book It just threatens companies like Netflix and any kind of physical media
>>52081373
ostensibly, it is the actual downloading that is appealing and all the random shit downloaded is never put to use
>>52080801
Why? What do you use them for after watching them? I do rewatch certain series quite a bit, but downloading them again when the situation rises has never been a problem. I easily lived off of a 80gb SSD for years.
I've never yet ran to a situation where I couldn't find something that I want to have again and I have a pretty self-proclaimed obscure taste due to being a tryhard hipster and a pervert. Femdom, crossdresser manga, chinese movies, vinyl rip indie hiphop, whatever.
I have a friend with huge stacks of external 2TB drives full of generic hollywood movies, encrypted. He has never even watched any of them since downloading. I really don't understand that.
I think digital hoarding is kind of like some sort of a manager game, just something to fidget around with. Feeling like you're doing something with your computer, when downloading loads of stuff to fill your bandwith with.
I fail to see the issue with having a large local collection of files you use.
>>52081312
>4,7gb
Thats like 2 hours of high quality 1080p anime
What's wrong with storing shit?
Not everything will be easily available forever, someone's gotta keep a copy when few other copies already exist. Some stuff you just gotta keep because you might never find it again. Not everything is some netflix type shit you can stream whenever, and that isn't even forever. The online world is transient, ever changing, something available one year might be DMCA'd out of existence the next. Hell, look at youtube and try visiting videos from several years back out of old logs you might have, so many of them are gone forever.
Besides, 20+ years down the line I want to be able to look back at all my old shit and remember the good old days, just as people used to do with photographs. If not, how else can I remember the time I spent wasn't all for naught?
>>52086333

But you can only do that because someone, somewhere has chosen to hold on to those things instead of watching/listening then deleting them. Be it p2p or something centralized, someone has to be storing the stuff for you to download it.
>>52080571

This is literally a cloud shilling article
>>52088527
Actually, you don't save any copy of anything that you don't intend to use multiple times. This is how you stop digital hoarding.
>>52080571
I hoard 4chan images, and images from the web in general. I do it all by hand without automation tools, though. That way I keep it in check
it's only about 100gb of images, it's not so bad. About a terabyte or three of music and anime/tv and that's it, I don't really hoard I hope
>>52088701
Clouds are the future. They are secure, do not require in-house maintenance, and ensure that you have legal recourse in the case of intrusion/leaks. It's a win-win for both individual and enterprise users.

You call it hoarding, I call it holding onto shit that I'm not sure I'll regret trashing. Besides, why would I delete a perfectly good movie rip? Do you smash the disc when you finish watching a movie? Might be a bad example in the age of netflix, but I haven't forgotten the value of actually possessing things.

It makes sense if you're keeping something and then sharing it to other people. Digital hoarding in the op's sense is all about making a private hoard of data that nobody else is going to see.
>>52090560
There are many of them.
>>52090588
I agree with you
If you feel you have a nice collection of shit.. make a torrent out of it and put it online.
I collected like 500gb of anime OSTs, made a mega torrent out of it, people liked it.
>>52090588

>>52080571

>>52080571
Do I have a lot of digital stuff? Sure. A large collection of MSDN ISO's for my test lab, a few hundred gb of unsorted data, and about 70TB of movies in my Plex library. All full-frame un-compressed at about 50GB per.
Only thing I could be screwed if I lost would be the unsorted, because I don't know what all is in it.
I only have 1.75 TB of data stored on my HDDs and SSD, but I have about 500 GB saved on blu ray because I only download whole disc Blu rays when I get movies.

So you'll probably never rewatch Shoujo Kakumei Utena. It's proof that you did, and another backup so that we can restore dead torrents through ipfs
>>52093002
that's not it
all it is is they want you to get less for more so you would spend more on less.
Either that or to influence the public opinion.
The real question is how much physical tech shit you have hoarded.
I've got a bunch of ram sticks, old gpus and drives lying around that I know I'll never use but still keep for some reason. Same with old laptops that I'm too lazy to repurpose.
