How do you guys data hoard? Hdd's? M-discs?

Finally got my new HDDs set up and everything moved over. Going from 5 drives attached to my main box and an ssd on the router to 2 NAS drives. Going to disconnect the really old stuff and set the nas to spindown and see how power usage changes. It's sad seeing how many 700MB movies I have. But hey that was life in the 2000s with a couple hundred GB.
>>106549664I don't hoard, I'm not mentally ill, I prefer digital minimalism and think very carefully before saving anything, I don't want to fill up my drives with nonsense that I'd feel are worthless or be ashamed of having them on my disk. Things you have should be meaningful.
Hoarding is stupid. It sounds like a good idea when you read a story about a movie getting edited because Trump bad or a book getting removed from the school library because it depicts hardcore gay pornography and you get a sense of urgency to make sure you have access to it when the guys in the sky won’t let you. So you go out and spend $1200 on a NAS that is redundant and has 18TB of storage and start downloading any and everything from everywhere and spending hours upon hours organizing your data so it’s accessible. You even open up a few ports and make some accounts so your friends and family can see your collection and they’ll try it out once but will never log in again. Then 5-8 years later your NAS drives start to throw errors and need to be replaced but you don’t really want to spend $400 replacing them so you wait until it’s too late and you lose all your data. Then you realize you never played those GoG games you saved or those movies you downloaded or read those PDFs of books you found and wonder why you spent so long organizing that data late into the night when everything you saved is still available online, it wasn’t deleted, the government didn’t remove it, corps are still selling it. Sure its fun but it’s a waste of time.
Data hoarding is mentally ill. If you are /x/ophrenic, listen to this. he whole "tape drive" fad is stupid because the tapes only last 30 years and they chew... remember anything from cassettes? Archival grade DVDs last for 100 years.
Had 20 hdds lying in my closet plus dvds.. Didn't even remember these and some day they just went out with the trash.You don't really need anything if things were normal. But looking at how things are now regarding internet and privacy etc, it's probably a good idea to begin hoarding data. Games, films, books, music, software. One day you could probably even sell them when the dystopia hits properly.
