is there Internet Archive or archive.ph like tool that works good for Twitter Threads and Linkedin posts?

Existing tools (mentioned above) often can't pass behind login pages, and strugles with images, videos, so I wonder if someone else has already found better tools. Thanks

I'm going on a plane for many hours in a couple of days. To entertain myself, I'm trying to download some reddit posts, with all the comments and stuff. Nothing too crazy, maybe 10 posts at much. Is there a way to do this?

Are there any archives/donwloader programs for JustFor.Fans?

Buildling a new UnRAID server and one parity drive was bad. Got a replacement, how do I get UnRAID to see the drive? In the HBA on the initial setup I had to mark the drives as usable? I think was what I did, but I don't see how to include this drive in the HBA current setup? I thought I had it but when UnRAID booted there was no "unassigned drive". There is nothing on it so I could start over, but in the furture if I have a drive die I'd like to know how to get it back working.

I have TBs of Linux ISOs that I have accumulated over years. Right now, everything is messy. Files are not organized in any meaningful way. I want to restart from scratch with a more organized method. But before deleting everything, I would like to share my data online somehow so it doesn't completely go to waste.

Can I just upload via torrents somehow? Where could I upload to? Most of the files are from trackers, but I also want to upload somewhere else in case I am the only seeder for some of these.

Any other ideas appreciated. Thanks.

Ovviously the answer to the former is going to be a resounding yes in this sub, but hopefully I can find some better practices to handle duplicated data that I often due unintentionally.

For instance, I might be reading a pdf on my laptop, but also want to browse the pdf of my phone, so I copy the PDF to iCloud. Now I have two PDFs, one in iCloud and another on my laptop.

One day I decide to backup my iCloud and export it all to my external drive. I also backup my laptop home folder and now I have the PDF copied…. Twice.

But I also do this with my phones photos; occasionally Ill export all my photos from my phone and back it up to iTunes, and now I have my photos in two different spots. On my phone and on my PC

Or I take reoccurring backups of my PC every month for a year. One day I reinstall windows. Realistically my last backup should be all I need to reference if I ever need files or configs, but instead I keep 12 instances of my backups “just in case”.

Another example I find is with thumbdrives. Ive copied an encrypted container onto my thumbdrive that contains important documents and all of my notes as I was traveling. When I got back after modifying the encrypted image, I never got to replacing it on my external storage. So I just called it encrypted image2 to denote its newer mod date, and kept the old one with the intention of manually going through it and confirming that its all old data.

Then I never purge anything, but it makes my data unclean, messy, and takes up more space than it should.

Ive also started my hoarding journey with an 8tb drive, and once that got near capacity, I bought a 12tb one, and backed it all up on there.

Well then I found that I store some new data on the 12tb drive, and some on the old one, so now I have two sets of data that need to be merged at some point, but I found Ive created so much more work for mysef

I have come to terms that I yearn for centralized storage as a NAS so I can remove the need to copy files from device to device, and have a single source of truth.

I find the more I backup and hoard, the more useless my data becomes.

Just wanted to ask what would your opinions be on a brand for SSDs on Amazon with either 1 or 2 TB and a good Read/Write speed. Ive seen SanDisk aswell as Samsung so far. Also my budget is around £130 and would prefer it to be on Amazon but fine if not, just as long as its trusted and reliable

Please see the image at: https://www.bonhams.com/auctions/16854/lot/290/ – you can click on the image to get a higher-resolution view/zoom but Bonhams breaks up the image into "tiles" so I cannot download the high-resolution, full-image. Is there anyway to get around this?

For an introduction im a music producer and a mixing engineer and I travel a lot for work so I need my work to be easily accessible via an external hard drive.

Recent my hard drive corrupted and I lost a lot of work so to save this from happening again in furtive what would you suggest?

A friend of mine who is in the same line of work uses 2 external hard drives, one is just a copy of the main one plus everything is backed up with the Laxie hard drive software and he also backs it up using mega, is this a good solution?

My wife and I have made the decision to homeschool. They are young right now but I’m starting to look at various curriculum and Kahn Academy is one of the possibilities. My question is has anyone already pulled the channel? How big is it? How do you catalog the various videos?

Title basically describes it. I’m looking for a way to download tons of images from Twitter, but also preserve the upload date automatically.

Like, a program that could be told what to name downloaded media, and there’s a command to automatically add the date in the name.

I need a program to organise my large niche music collection to upload to soulseek or something. The way I want it to be organised is Artist/[year] - Album Name/unaltered song name. I am using Linux, but wouldn't be overly bothered loading up a windows VM to run a program. Thank you, and if this post would be better suited somewhere else, please inform me.

Was looking to get some more refurb HGST 12TB off ebay, and in my search found a vendor offering new 12TB Seagete enterprise for $30 more. Read the description up and down for fine print and did not find anything. Reached out to the vendor and he responded saying they were new old stock OEM fron integrator's overstock, and that they come with a vendor 5 year warranty.

Whats the word on the street?

Hey guys, looking at a great deal on an old Lacie Biggest S2S 5 bay RAID tower full of drives. This DAS unit only has e-SATA connection.

I'm looking to use it on an SFF HP Prodesk 400 which only has USB ports. To be honest I don't know much about sata or e-sata.

Am I looking at apples to oranges here or is this as simple as getting some kind of adapter and off we go?

Thanks!

So my current setup is just my workstation, with a 4TB SSD plugged in via USB, and for now it serves me fine. My only issue and what keeps nagging at me is that I do not have any (absolutely any) redundancy, other than a 500 GB SSD that serves as my data transfer volume if I sometimes need to transfer the most crucial of my media / ETC to a different filesystem while switching OSs for example.

I looked in to S3 DeepArchive but I have no idea if there's an easy way to set this up as a consumer. I used to have Backblaze, so perhaps maybe it's worth it to start paying for that again? I just want something that I can throw data in to cheaply and I'm willing to have some expenses spent for retrieval, I just want to have the piece of mind that my data is *securely* stored and will never be gone if any of my hardware fails.

Hello all,

Based in Canada. Just wondering if anyone had recommendations for a data storage system that could sync between 2-3 machines, ie: I give one to my mom and my sister, and any time any of us add anything to one of them, it syncs to the other 2?

Ideally 4-8TB would be ideal, the idea is redundancy of important files, photos etc.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi guys. I have found an old (15 years +) zip file that's password protected. I tried all my old paswords that I remember but no joy. It's 10mb, contains few jpg images and was created using Winrar (free 😁). Only letters and numbers in my password.

Any on line services you can recommend or software I cluld use to try to crack it? My PC is decent with i7 14th gen and rtx4070.

Hey all, I am trying to figure out how to reconstruct my local storage setup and could use some help.

For context, I use a MacBook Pro laptop that backs up to a 2 TB Time Capsule, iCloud, and Backblaze.

I have a 5-bay enclosure (DAS/Thunderbolt) that houses my docs, media, and work files and a 4-bay Synology NAS. The enclosure backs up all drives to Backblaze. The media files back up to the NAS for Plex/Roon, and the docs and work files are on a drive that I mirror using CarbonCopyCloner.

While I am not a huge fan of mounting 5 drives every time I dock my laptop, it has worked out ok. Recently, I swapped some larger drives into the NAS as I was running low on space, and I am now swapping those into the DAS to expand the local capacity. However, I now have some additional disks. In addition to this, the complexity of mapping multiple folders from the DAS to the NAS via CCC is slowly becoming a hellscape. So I went ahead and purchased a new 5-bay enclosure and am trying to sort out if I should do some sort of software RAID setup that would provide some redundancy or just suffer mounting 10 disks every time I dock. I don't want to do RAID 0 or create a disk set because I don't want to have to rebuild everything if one drive fails. I would also like to make the drive mounting and the NAS mapping as simple as possible, which feels like it can only be done if I have some local RAID 5 option.

So my question would be largely, Does this sound sort of bonkers? Can I still use my laptop as a laptop and have the software RAID do its business only when I dock?

Edit: I use the DAS because it also backs up to the cloud via the Backblaze personal backup plan.

Here is what I was thinking in terms of options.

Option 1

Option 1

Option 2

Option 2
