Please I don't want to become a creep
>>53947814
>64 gigs
That's cute I'm at 6TB and waiting to some new drives
How do we cure digital hoarding.
I have 6 of the same file because I'm scared to delete one because it might be a bit different than the other, and be valuable in some way.
>>53948286
30TB raw represent.
>>53947814
What do you exactly hoard?
I've downloaded every blu-ray or dvd off ptp i also have 720p/1080p rips of movies if there's no blu-ray or dvd available.
I'm at 2.5TB atm. 3tb of space. Need to get a 2TB drive soon.
>>53949173
Learn to let go. Watch your porn once and then delete them. Watch your anime once and then delete them. Play your games once then delete them.
>>53949650
Want to watch,fap,play again?

>>53949173

It's only hoarding if you don't sort :^)

>tfw 256gb ssd with 60gb space left and you are completely fine

Do you have backups for those? 30TBs is bordering on non-ironic hoarding. That shit costs money.

>Watch your anime once and then delete them
Absolutely never.
>>53951342
I'm not sure if I can even call myself straight anymore. Fuck this website and my crippling porn addiction.
I have 3.5tb of extra space that is slowly being filled. The only reason I don't have more is because I'm strapped for cash.
ITT: socially inept fat people
Holy shit you all should be stoned to death. Bye
>>53951367
Not yet, I'm still in the process of installing it all.
Effective storage is far less. More like half. Most of it is spread across two NAS systems on two sites:
NAS1: 4x4TB RAID10 - media storage, torrents, stuff
NAS2: 2x4TB RAID1 - backup
Rest is in desktop, htpc and laptops.
>>53951367
I've got 26tb of raw storage myself, but something like 15tb of actual usable storage when you account for redundancy.
I'm actually archiving things though, so it's not exactly hoarding.
>>53951390

>the butthurt is almost palpable
>>53951411
>>53951415
That is reasonable. I'm playing with fire over here, no backups of 4/6 drives. Luckily they're all BDRips of tv-series and movies, so it's easy to catalog and to replace (mostly).
I'm waiting for until I get the rack setup working, then I'll probably buy three 5TB drives to cover my ass.
Just.. NEVER buy Seagate. I've had literally 3/4 drives die on me, all were replaced by WD drives (the warranty was flexible). Only one (older) WD drive has died so far *knocks on wood*.
>>53951496
That guy isn't butthurt...he's just correct and you're coping.
I also have a porn hoarding problem. I think I will delete it all soon again.
The problem is I have no idea what I have because I never watch it. But I just like to save blonde girls.
Little over 6TB of storage on my server

I'm using 9 seagate drives. The only one to fail in the past 5 years gave a good warning.
>>53951522

Sure he is, but that doesn't explain why you believe you are a sovereign citizen. See, I can make shit up too.
>>53951467
What then, cockvore?
>>53951534
Have a nas with 8TB that I backup the server to
>>53951496
30TB guy here.
I've been running without any proper backups for years now. Been using dropbox and syncthing for important documents and pictures, but I don't consider that proper backup in itself. Especially so after the dropbox store of a buddy of mine shat itself and he lost everything.
Building a new desktop now, which I'm planning on running btrfs on. Hopefully btrfs snapshots of / and /home plus syncthing between the two locations will be adequate.
NAS2 got Seagate drives, but they're NAS drives and I got them cheap. I'm not too worried, NAS1 is running all WD red.
When you have 10+ drives over many years, someone is bound to die anyway.

But you don't have any two drives from the same batch, right?
Could someone please explain to me the purpose of hoarding so much data? I'm genuinely curious. I don't even have a TB of data backed up. I don't feel the need to back up very much unless it's important.
I have 3GB of irreplaceable data. Everything else I delete when I'm done because I can just redownload it.
>>53951611
I just like having lots of stored TV series and films to watch when I'm bored. Sure I watch stuff when it comes out live but sometimes months go by without anything new to watch.
>>53951611

And many more reasons.
>>53951596
Nope. It would take 3 disk failures for me to lose data as well.
pic related, 5.6 years of power on time on a seagate green drive
>>53951611
Really obscure material like untranslated visual novels frequently disappear from the internet. Even worse is the fact that you can't even buy it later because it's not sold anywhere.
>>53951611
- If you don't stream music and is autistic about your sources, it's easy to bank hundres of gigs in music.
- Same goes for video, really. I don't like deleting it, because maybe a good release will lose its seeds or I don't feel like spending time finding it again.
- I have a lot of virtual machines and disk images as well.
- Lastly, backup.
Those are my big storage spenders.
>>53951611
In case a porn artist spergs out and has everything deleted
>>53947814
I only have 12 TB's of drives so please calm yourself.
Until you get to the "We're going to get tape drives for large storage".
Your fine.
>>53951582
I spread copies of crucial data on multiple drives, can't trust that cloud. Do you at least encrypt the data before you upload the backups?
Never heard of brfs, gotta look that up.
I too am going for WD reds.
>When you have 10+ drives over many years, someone is bound to die anyway.
Very true.
>>53951718
I don't use Dropbox anymore. Now I don't use any cloud services, but if I were it would probably be Amazon glacier with encrypted block files.

>>53951611
Hoarding is basically a mental disorder.
You will never ever be able to watch/read/play/whatever at the rate you download, so it's pretty fucking retarded and a huge waste of time.
I appreciate the people who actually share their shit though.
>this thread
You know what? I'm deleting my porn. Good bye, BBW stash. Thank you for helping me, /hoard/.
>>53951697
You're running Windows? Why would you do that? You're compromising your entire system's security.
Other than that, looks nice.
>>53951795
All the fun stuff happens in a linux vm with hdds passed directly through to debian on zfs w/ snapshots. If anything happens I can just boot off the hdds.
>>53951751
>Hoarding is basically a mental disorder.
Normal hoarding? Sure. But you see, a disorder by definition is characterized a compulsive or otherwise destructive condition that inhibits or severely hinders one's enjoyment of life. Digital hoarding - when we're not talking about tape drives and hundreds of terabytes of relatively useless - does not meet that criterion.
>>53951747
I found a service where you could upload full disk images with FDE. Never got around to trying it out though.
>>53951751
>You will never ever be able to watch/read/play/whatever at the rate you download, so it's pretty fucking retarded and a huge waste of time.
Following this logic, you should only work long enough to make the rent, utilities and basic groceries?
>>53951858
Do you remember how the FDE were set up? If it's dm-crypt/luks it's basically just a block storage service. I don't think it can be done incrementally.
>>53951927
Well, object storage service, but the file is just blocks.
>>53947814
Everytime I reinstall windows/linux I throw all my unsorted downloads into a folder meaning to put it all in an organized folder structure when I get the installation done but I never do. I've got like 10 folders full of garbage I'll never go through but really should.
Also Russians are fucking crazy and make discography torrents with every release of every cd an artist has made, so I have many flac copies of many albums I haven't gotten around to listening to yet, let alone decide which mastering version I want to put in my music library. Fully half of my music hasn't been tagged/selected for my actual library yet.
Fuck.
>>53951843
Ah, I see. Still I'd see that as an unnecessary security concern.
>>53951927
Yes, it is exactly that. The idea wasn't to do incremental backups, but to permanently archive the data at a flat annual rate ($50/yr).
>>53951952
>Use a bulk renamer to create a consistent naming convention
>auto-generate tags based on urls
>easily find and deal with dupes
>???
>profit!
>>53951961
That could work. I'd rather do incremental btrfs snapshots on personal machines though, and encrypt the drives you had your backup on. Although I have no experience with it yet so I guess I can't really tell.
When my drives get to about 90+% I go through them and see what's junk (temporary files, duplicates, etc.), if they're still at 90% once I've gotten rid of everything I want to keep or things that I think will be hard to find again in the future, I buy more storage. I've been doing that since the early 90's so I think I still have files from then on here, Windows seems to clobber that sometimes though and my old backup scheme was unorganized. Next time I'm going to move everything off site and put it all on ZFS with proper configuration.
>>53951712
>tape drives
I've been considering this lately for mirroring big things for myself and others. Tie it into IPFS somehow, even with terribly slow read and seek speeds at least the content would be available to the public in a worst case scenario.
Oh god someone send help, I keep getting worse.
>>53951952
>>53952112
I use Picard for music tagging/sorting myself. You can configure it to use whatever name and directory structure you want, same with tags. It can auto detect tracks too using musicbrainz database as well which can save time on big operations, I usually sort my albums in chunks, don't try and do your entire library at once.
>>53952351
the irony
>>53952112
>>53952300
My problem isn't so much the tagging, although I'll have to do that too, it's more that most of my torrents folder looks like pic related.
In this case it's easy because the CP32 Japanese releases sound miles better than anything else and the only reason I haven't put them in my library yet is I'm a lazy shit, but I haven't had to time to do this for tons of albums.
I'm also not sure if I should be really splitting up these flac+cues like I have been for years. I want to keep them together so if I ever wanted to I could just burn it to a CD and have it be identical to the original, but I'm extremely autistic and want my library to be uniform. Going back and finding flac+cue versions of most of my library would be extremely time consuming if not impossible.
>>53952545
What you're describing is not a technical problem, but a policy one.
You know nobody can help you with that.
>>53952584
That's what this entire thread is about.
>>53952545
I empathize with this. I wish for uniformity and one standard that fits my desire, maybe one day.
>>53952540
jej
>>53952545
>>53952638
I don't get people who bother to rip and/or upload albums to private trackers, but not even tag the music correctly. About half of the japanese music I download from what I need to retag, sometimes manually because it's not in any tag database. Ugh.
>>53952661
>private trackers
My upload speeds are too shit to even waste my time applying for them. Most of my shit comes from RUtracker.
>>53952592
If that's what you think, you're missing the point.
>>53952661
Then you either need to make a copy to keep seeding or decide not to. Even if they are tagged correctly they all use different filename patterns. Things like this are why I'm excited for IPFS or any content addressable file system.
>>53951217
>8000GB of pixelated penis

That's nice collection, I got much less.
>>53947814
I am at 3TB now and there is still a lot of stuff I want to have but doubt I'd go over 6-7TB, not counting backups.
Just what the fuck do you guys hoard to get in double digits TB? 4k porn, movies and non-repack vidya? FLACs?
>>53949173
That's just stupid. Do you keep your old clothes and other stuff around too?
>>53949650
That's just wrong too. At best it works with movies, since most aren't worth rewatching and maybe some games without replay value.
>>53947814
I have about a terabyte right now, but it's growing.
I used to have a lot of music, but I just stream that now. I probably could have kept it under 1TB, but I started downloading anime again...
I remember back in like 2000 or something like that, I knew two guys who had some killer FTP servers. Used to download all kinds of shit. They were IRC lurkers.
Once I saw them both at a LAN party, with their full towers, arguing over who had more music, movies, anime, etc.
They had terabytes before I even knew having terabytes of shit, and youngling me was entirely blasted at even having a full terabyte, let alone multiple.
Question to everyone. How much of your hoard is anime/anime related.
>>53954308
About 30% (1TB).
>>53949173
Redundant backups.
Personally, >>53947814 I'm at a light 200GB, but due to my slow connection speeds (6Mbps), I usually have to keep what I download unless I'm sure I don't need it anymore.

I always had a vore fetish since I was a child but then the internet showed me, there's more than one way to "eat" someone.
>not being on 1 zetabyte
about 18TB raw. Half of that is backups and such though, so with boot drives and overhead it's like 8TB usable. I consider myself a minor-leaguer here, if I was rich I'd be one of those people with 50TB ZFS arrays.
>>53954308
a few hundred GB.
>>53954405
why the hell would that feel good? I do this to avoid that awful sinking feeling when I want something but can't find it. Maybe its an older series and all the torrents are dead. Maybe some copyright cartel got pissy with someone and had it taken down, or prevented it from being on streaming services. Maybe it's just something obscure that might still be available but hard to find.
I've gotten burned way too many times to not hoard. The only way you can ensure that something you might want in the future will remain available is to save it yourself. Serious question, why would you ever want to delete everything? I don't understand this mentality at all, even a little bit.

If he hadn't been a fritterbrained dick about it, he'd still be with us. MIT IS warned him multiple times to stop breaking into the network closets, and if he kept doing it, they'd call the police on him.
/hoard/ how insane would it be to have a physical disk with my OS on it then inside of that have a VM running something to manage other physical disks, attaching the datastore to my network like >>53955214
I only have 1 machine right now but would much rather use a different file system than NTFS, I figure this would work for now and then eventually I could migrate to a separate physical machine.
The risks I see are losing the OS disk and subsequently the VM but the physical disks should still be fine and recoverable once I instantiate a new VM.
Is this a bad idea?

is that 1.6 real terabytes or the inflated numbers they quote that assume 2:1 or more compression?

>>53956052
Is it for backup only? What's the read speed like?
>>53956663
I mainly use 400GB LTO3 cartridges. 80MB/s in that case. LTO4 is 160MB/s.
