>13 drives inside the case, several externals lying around>every SATA port occupied, SAS controller almost full>have 5 completely separate porn collections waiting to be merged>have a full copy of my C drive together with my previous Windows installation because i had some memes on the desktop and maybe some scripts and shit, also waiting to be taken care of>completely lost track of where everything is and too scared to sort it out. sometimes it takes like 30 minutes to find a certain file>new drives will be full in a year, two maxhow to stop?
>>103227258>he doesn't even have off site backups
>>103227258>how to stop?You don't. You keep posting on 4chan to keep us updated about your crash and burn. You now serve no other purpose in life than to entertain us.
>>103227258>how to stop?rm -fR /media/
>>103227258why? seriously,Do you run a server or something?you don't need to have all that shit online all the time
kinda impressive mr brzęczyszczykiewicz
>>103227258>13 mixed drives>in the main PC>SATA and SAS>no redundancy>no drive pooling>no backup even
>>103227312>>103227278i have an offline copy of the RAID because that's the most important stuff. rest can be redownloaded i guess>>103227305i just can't stop myself from downloading something i find interesting. the rarer the better
Why would you bother saving porn?
>>103227381yeah theres so many of them on the internet. i'd rather watch something new then to go back to same stuff again.
>>103227381how am i supposed to find that obscure lewd if i don't remember the title?also porn tends to vanish from the internet
>>103227258>>how to stop?You don't stop, but you need to reevaluate and reconsolidate For example all your drives are too small You should be on 20/22TB drives by now
thats admirable. but once the information purge begins they will check ur post history and come for ur hard drives. u should make extra backups to external drives and bury them somewhere they won't find them.
>>103227258This nigga is literally burdened by his sins lmao. Toss the drives in an industrial shredder and be free.
>>103227463there's a very specific reason i don't own those hyuge drivesas for the smol ones, idk. they still work fine and they've been through some shit, why should i swap them?
>>103227258Most sane p*le
>>103227428Why would you bother looking at a vid or pic you've already seen?
>>103227607i also collect rare porn (and stuff in general)like for example that video of an irl Japanese girl who got literally nipple-fucked. i think that it's an internet gem worth archiving
>>103227412there's actually a relevant meme which i - of course - saved
>>103227700Data hoarding is a disease, but a necessary one. Because if not for us, no one else would.
>>103227278>he doesn't even have off...line backupshe is literally one ransomware away from losing his second copy as well
>>103227258>how to stopmeds.
>>103227773actually already got ransomware once (not my fault) but the dev was retarded and designed it to pick up all the non-important stuff firstmaybe the damage would be greater if i didn't have so much data that it takes days to read/write all of it
>>103227655>i thinkI very much doubt this.
>>103227258Post mobo and case
>>103227840this
>>103227840case is Fractal Design Define 7 XLalso i just realised that XMP is off for whatever reason
>>103227258>data hoarding on windows lmao, no.
>>103228005>you need a hand crafted Linux box with ZFS and NFS to data hoard bro you can't data hoard on NTFS bro
>>103228005triple RAID1 on ZFS is my dream
>>103227258Why stop at all? That's only like 20tb, they make single drives larger than that
>>103227258Buy or build a NAS. Put some empty drives in - your 8TB ones will do to start with.Go through your PC drives one by one, and copy over the data to your new NAS, with organisation and efficiency being the aim from the beginning. Create separate folders for different types of data, one for films, music, documents, whatever. Make subfolders in those folders to more specifically divide things up. When you've finished, wipe each drive in your PC individually and reload it with what you want to keep on there, again making sure to prioritise organisation and efficiency. Finally, change your attitude towards downloading. Before you download anything, figure out where it should be stored and ensure there's enough space for it. If this is too difficult, maintain a single "temporary" drive and download everything into there, and make a habit of clearing it out once a week.
I get wanting to save everything but I realized the futility in it. I don't need to save a copy of every show and movie I've enjoyed, just my favorites so I can watch them when the internet goes down.
>>103228042this but unironically
>>103228180i have a general plan of action but thanks for the tips
>>103227258Geez I thought my 3tb was bad. It's possible to organize it all, but it'll take weeks
