There is this DVD I'm trying to backup but every time I make a copy and play the iso, the opening commercials are completely missing. I tried looking up a solution but I could find nothing online even closely related to this issue. I would really like to keep the backup as close to the actual experience of playing the disc as I can.

I have about 6,000 unsorted and unnamed mp4s that I want to sort into folders, and using software would significantly speed up the process. If anyone could direct me to something that would help I would seriously appreciate it.

I need 3 things from it: It needs to play videos so that I can see what video I'm sorting, it needs to be able to rename videos, and it needs to be able to put videos into folders, preferably quickly.

I've tried a few, I've tried Sorter Express, and it's almost perfect, being able to watch and quickly sort videos, but I can't rename them. Diffractor was also good, but was a pretty clunky and slower than I would like it to be, and moving videos into folders takes longer than it should and sometimes doesn't work.

Thank you in advance, it doesn't need to be super fancy, I just need a fast way to watch, rename, and then put clips into folders.

I need a temporary 256 and 512GB SSD for doing some work on an OS install for a few months before I move them to better and larger drives, so I was trying to find the cheapest options that were still a name brand. The ones I ran into were the Silicon Power AS5 and the TeamGroup AX2. Both are TLC drives with a SLC cache (or at least they claim) and no DRAM, and both are currently the same price on Amazon, $29 for the 512GB and $20 for the 256GB.

Is there any difference between these? Can anyone recommend one over the other for any reason? (Or maybe somewhere that has them cheaper?) Again, these are just going to be for temporary installs, I am not planning on keeping these as my main OS drive for years.

I just bought a 8 bay NAS and I have some drives I'm copying data from onto the array.

I have a HDD plugged in via USB encloser to the NAS.

The copy process has no details, like the current file being copied and once you close and reopen the nasOS the estimated time goes away as the MB/s data and I couldn't find a way to get it back.

I stopped and started the process a few times while transferring 8TB and selected to SKIP files that are duplicates and everytime it would show the same amount of hours remaining for when I first started even though I know I copied more than half the drive. About 10-12 hours.

Anyways, I ended up just using FreeFileSync and comparing the data and sure enough the time remaining was only about 2 hours and most of the data aside from 1.5tb was copied.

I'm also getting the same speed I was getting in the nas OS using file copy over the shared directories.

Is there another file copy software for synology NAS or another way?

I'm running into some network saturation issues trying to do video/MAM work with my existing NAS, especially when my regular backups run throughout the day and I wind up with lots of simultaneous traffic with my primary NAS. I have a set of two 12TB drives left over from a recent upgrade and am considering installing them directly to my PC as local project storage in a raid 0 configuration, so I can maintain a working copy of the data already replicated across my NAS network locally and avoid bandwidth/device bottlenecks. Unfortunately the motherboard does not have any free dedicated sata slots (they share with the m.2 drives and populating them would slow those and/or PCIe devices down), nor does it support any 3.5" mounting options, so I'm looking for an external solution via USB-C or ethernet via a dedicated LAN. Looking on Amazon and ebay for relatively inexpensive enclosures and they all seem to be garbage, either unknown chinese brands or poorly rated name brands, or they're prohibitively expensive.

I found three potential options:

1. Get a used 2 bay NAS off of ebay for like ~$80 with a LAN port and raid 0 support, and wire it in to the PC as a second LAN network for a dedicated connection. Would require a network expansion card to my PC, but as far as I understand you can do a dual network setup with two LAN ports, right? My primary network is also over LAN, connected to the motherboard.

2. Buy some random "raid enclosure" and hope it's reliable. Note I'm not storing my only copy of this data, It's replicated across two separate NAS units already, but if it breaks that ruins my work for a few days until I can get a replacement in.

3. Go super janky and grab a SATA backplane, then hook it up to the PC's power supply with standard ATX sata power connectors, and use a PCIe expansion card to connect it. I'd have to route the power cables through the case and to the backplane, then attach it outside the case because there's no room inside it, but the advantage is no messing with networking and I can get direct access at full speed.

4. ...Something else?

I'm kinda leaning towards the used NAS with dual LAN option, assuming I understand how it works correctly, but I'm curious what other folks have done and if there's any option I might have missed?

Does writing to an HDD generate more heat than reading from it? Why or why not?

Ive been using Western Digital external hard drives for many years. Im now around 12-15 tb of content. I usually buy a new higher capacity external drive every few year with increased capacity. This time, I'm looking to take a small step forward.

Is the Western Digital My Cloud Expert Series EX2 Ultra 2 bay NAS good and reliable? I'll likely add two massive drives to have redundancy. But from what ive seen, this seems to be the cheapest option for a NAS setup. Just add your own drives. I also dont want to break the bank. This is a cheap setup.

Hello everybody, hope you doing well...

So, lately I'm struggling finding subtitles in my native language (Spanish) for some tv shows . So I thought if I can't find the subtitles I have to extract those and upload it to the web for the future.

With that motivation, I think my goal is to extract the Spanish subtitles of Smiling Friend mainly but I can help with other shows.

So I need a starting point or introduction of how to learn to do that, I'll apreciate any resource for learn

Thank you.

I have this 1tb SD card I had in a mini wificam so it would have space to store everytime it was triggered and eventually just write over if it got full, it seemed to be working fine at the time I could access it contents through the app, the camera has been out of service for a while I need to get some of the videos I know it has on it. I put it in a SD to USB adapter to see the contents from my PC and it almost immediately became scorching hot even smoking one time and isn't detected by the system, I reset the camera reconnect to it it doesn't seem to see the SD card or thinks it's full, are there specific usb adapters that will work for SDXC cards like that without burning them up? my guess is none of the equipment can hang with the speed or amount of data

Please don't give me lectures on backing them up. I know. I was planning to do that today and then boom that's the day it dissapeared.

Anyway I use Cluster window and tab manager to help me save windows so i can free up my memory since i tend to have like 300 tabs open at a time. Well today i wanted to back up my tabs and all of them were gone. is there a folder i can look in where they're usually saved so i can maybe try to find the deleted temp files?

I have a 250 GB dual-boot (Win+Linux) laptop and I wanna store my non-active audio projects, media, game library and maybe experiment with a VM(?) on an external SSD.

I've come across both these drives as the most recommended, but reviews are too varied and with little information about the usage the owners gave them. So, has anyone here had these drives for, let's say, 10 months or more? What's been your experience? Would you recommend any of them for my ideal usage?

Not sure if this is the best place to ask this question.

I'm using rclone to back up my NAS to an external hard drive. After many minutes the file system becomes read-only seemingly randomly and the transfer stops. I have to unmount and remount the drive and start the backup again, but I would have to do that about 20 times. I'm having the same issue on multiple linux machines. The drive has no SMART info.

I can reformat if necessary, but I'm working on refreshing my cloud backup so I'll only risk it after I finish with that.

Here are the error messages rclone is giving me.

2024-07-10 10:06:39 ERROR : Meme/spann.png.kra: Failed to copy: open /mnt/bup/auto/data/Meme/spann.png.kra: read-only file system 2024-07-10 10:07:28 ERROR : Blender/mazda-rx8/textures/Map__58_Normal Bump.jpeg: Failed to set modification time: chtimes /mnt/bup/auto/data/Blender/mazda-rx8/textures/Map__58_Normal Bump.jpeg: read-only file system

How I'm mounting the drive. This is the only way I could figure out how to without having it be owned by root.

sudo mount -o rw,user,uid=1000,dmask=007,fmask=117 /dev/sda2 /mnt/bup

Hello everyone... So I gathered a team of (Archivers) to make an archive on private groups and channels on the telegram app by uploading the content like (movies, music, TV shows, anime, animation. NSFW content(( I already started))) to these groups and channels... then providing them for a limited number of Subscribers where they can have the full access to these channels and groups... most of the video files will be in FHD ( if they exceed the 4GB limit, then I will use the HD).

I don't have a problem with uploading the MKV as this archive is devoted for downloading more than streaming. but I am wondering about the best source to rip the files... for example: I was going to start downloading from YTS but most of the users doesn't like the quality so do you know the best source that would have the a good quality to size files.?

a second question: As I am doing this as a full-time job... so I will charge the members with a small monthly fee for the access to all of the Archive ( Including the NSFW). what do you think would be the reasonable price for it.... as It's going to be limited to 2000 to 1500 members I guess and the fee will be around 5 or 4

note that: I am uploading more than 500GB of data each day.

Hello all, I’m looking for a backup program that will do a few things. For the record this is all on a VPS. Firstly where I can set it up to do weekly backups, so if I get “ratted” again it won’t cause issues with recovering what was done. Secondly, where it can check the code inside of files maybe? I do a bunch of video game coding so the files itself doesn’t change just the code inside the file. I want to make sure that it backs up the “changes” inside and overwrite the old. Thirdly, it sends it to example a cloud or megafolder that’s locked or even an external HDD so it can’t be ratted into as well as the computer to prevent thousands of $$$$ in lost files. I was working on 120GB worth of files or more a week so I know it will take sometime to truly back it up all the time. I tried to use one program (can’t remember the name, started with file I think), but it kept trying to overwrite files that were even uploaded or was trying to double write the same file. It made a mess.

Thanks for the help.

I know it's a pretty loaded question but let me explain.

Most people I know don't have too much data to back up prior to formatting their PC. They may have some work files / documents on their computer and the most important part would be photos and videos on one of the drives. They're likely subscribed on a few forums and might need to write down a few passwords and usernames and that's it.

In my case, I'm a musician who's also a producer and a DJ and I use a plethora of different software and services on my computer. I'm also a podcaster and a gamer and I have so many different hobbies which are related to using the computer so there are so many different applications installed. Sometimes when I don't use something for a while I wonder why it's even there until I realize that I once installed something which required something else which required something else (for music production purposes or maybe it was related to WordPress or a plugin for something.. etc) and each of those applications sometimes could have its own username and password and you also have to install it in the correct order or something might not work when you reinstall it on your drive.

In the past I often found myself forgetting to back up my bookmarks or write down certain passwords and usernames. Sometimes I just felt like I was missing certain software but only realized much later when I rediscovered it another way. I started taking a screenshot of my installed software so I don't forget what I had installed prior to formatting.

Generally, I don't have a proper method of going over everything important prior to formatting. I know I may forget something and I feel like there's a better way.

What's your process? People on here really know what they're doing and is like to learn how to be more efficient with my backups and formatting process. I end up hoarding stuff I don't need and I want to be more efficient.

So I have always purchased new drives for my home server. I run unraid with a bunch of arr applications. I usually have purchased new western digital red drives. What is the best drive to buy for this purpose from the recertified drives. Is it the Seagate Exos?

I want to build/get a computer or laptop with the objective to save not only in hard drives, but in almost any other external media like Blu-Ray or Floppy mainly (if it's possible, I want to add more, like the media dashboard )

The idea is so the computer can read or write media but also being backward compatible

Also it's need to be low power, enough to make the battery last long, but being able to charge it using, like to say, a solar panel or hand crank

I was thinking in use a Thinkpad and the docking station so i can grab and go or expand in need

I'm open to suggestions
