It's A Digital Disease!

Due to Etsy's updated ToS taking effect 7/29/24 regarding NSFW listings, I want to archive certain sellers and item listings before they go down or change. Right now it seems like archivebox is the best tool for that but I'm having trouble bypassing Etsy's captcha. Using my own selfhosted/dockerized archivebox listings just show a puzzle captcha yet the copy stored in webarchive shows the actual listing. I added cookies and login credentials but that doesn't seem to help. Any advice or alternatives?

I used to send tweets to be archive at the Internet Archive, but lately that doesn’t seem to work anymore, maybe because they require users to be logged in to even see the page 😐

Do you have any tips or tricks about archiving tweets from ex-Twitter?

I heard that for internal hard drives the answer is yes, I know hard drives are meant to run, but what about external ones? Won't heat be a problem? I also heard that turning your hard drive on and off will also do harm.

So which one is worse? Turning it on and off or keeping it on 24/7?

After reading this post “instead of selling real M Discs, Verbatim now puts their cheap organic BD-Rs into M Disc cases and charges M Disc prices for them”

Where can I get real M-disks? Or should I look for another kind of disks?

I am looking at a couple boards for a build I may do in the fall if the Jonsbo N5 is released, consolidating some hardware. What I need is the following:

AM5 or 13/14 Gen Intel - Low TDP 65W or less

12 SATA either on-board, oculink onboard or other, (is mixed recommended if onboard sata/oculink - asrockrack) or available PCIe slot for 16i HBA

2 slot room for NVIDIA A4000 SFF PCIe 16 slot

10GBe on-board ideally is fine

2 M.2 NVME, ideally 3.

Dear Redditors,

I currently have ten high-capacity HDDs in stock, and I thought about using them as a NAS, or at least as some kind of large storage unit.

What cheap solutions would you recommend for this? Honestly, the CPU doesn't need to be high-performance because I really just want to use it for file storage, and if possible, the power supply shouldn't consume too much wattage either. :)

Thank you in advance!

Personal Storage

Just, you know... I had to.. I just had to store all my dvds, vhs, games, coding projects, stores, pictures locally. X} I just HAD TO.

The jokes aside. I really love the storage space and additional speed when the data gets duplicated. It's not a traditional array, but really it's just amazingly fun to have a truly easier drive swap when one gets tooo old.

It's just all sorts of joy to not have to worry about moving data to dvds/cds to hold for transfering X} (or using some cloud service which is just really expensive for this need)

My data is growing well quickly... I'm trying to determine the best path forward for expaning my storage. Any user with either and experience I would love to hear from.

I have an external hard drive that the movers dropped. Now it is showing as 746MB instead of the 5GB it is. I have diskparted and cleaned it, then reinitialized it in Win 10 but it still shows only 746MB. It was woking fine before and showed the correct size. Any way to get it to show the proper size again

Hello,

I wonder if anyone could weigh in on a decision for me. I have my main desktop that has whatever SDD as local disk/boot drive with a 4tb HDD attached that has EVERYTHING. I have an external 4tb HDD that mirrors that.

I have my laptop which has a 1tb SSD that I would like to gain just a little bit more storage. I have a 250gb USB drive that I use to back up all my music and I use it to sync between my laptop and desktop's music library. This is the drive I asked my wife to grab if there were ever a fire in the house, LOL.

Now... my laptop (ThinkPad T14) has a micro SD card slot I could use to keep a SD card inside at all times. After an initial write, it might be read a few times a week to listen to music (when I'm not on my desktop), but not much. A few times a year, it might be read a bit more intensely while DJing. I am looking at SanDisk Ultra (~$50) or something high endurace for ~$20 more.

Does this make sense, or should I just upgrade to a 2tb SSD (Teamgroup MP44L ~$140) for my laptop? I certainly do not need all this storage space, and in a way, I think having less storage forces me to consider which data is really important to keep and which to throw away.

I heard mixed reviews about flash storage, and their durability. I don't think it should be an issue for my light use case, but I could be wrong. On the other hand, if I ever needed to, the portability of being able to eject the SD card is appealing. Either way, this is a 4th back up (after my desktop, external HDD, USB drive). Although, now that I think about it, I wonder if I can just forego the USB drive back up if this SD Card can just be ejected and put into a SD card reader. The question is, how fallible is this idea? Since 512gb SD cards are cheap enough, I don't mind replacing them every ~5 years.

Hello everyone

I just recently bought a new external HDD (https://www.walmart.com/ip/790131533) to backup my iCloud library to, and moved over about 50gb worth of zipped files. I’ve done SO much research in the past week, just desperately trying to find the best ways to back up my precious memories, but apparently I didn’t do enough because now I’m seeing that a lot of people reformat and run tests on their new HDDs before adding files onto them…I did not do any of that, just plugged it in, made sure it worked, went through the setup that was on the drive and started adding files. Should I have done more? What should I do now? All of this is super overwhelming, I just want to make sure my family photos and videos are backed up😭

The original post: /r/datahoarder by /u/NSK94 on 2024-07-08 18:04:34.

Because of moving data from multiple laptops to mine last year, I had plenty of duplicates so I decided to use Czkawka to get rid of them. Because I am paranoid and because there are really important family pictures in there, I had everything backed up to another drive before doing this.

I used both the duplicate finder and the visual similarity tool and I went manually through each group (again because I am paranoid and this was my first time using the software). I made sure that I did not select all and I even manually unselected some items in certain cases. All was good.

Then I try the empty directory search and I find a few folders that should absolutely not be empty. I check the other backup I made and there are images that are supposed to be in those folders and they have no duplicates elsewhere. It's not all folders, just about 20% of the ones in my picture folder.

Thankfully, I have the backup and can just download them again but does anyone know what I could have done wrong to lead to this? I love the tool and want to use it again in the future on other folders but I do not want to risk everything being gone.

Thank you

I want to make backups of some of my Blu-ray movies and would like to copy the artwork and put it on the actual disk. Anybody have a preferred high quality method of doing this?

I’m looking for a way to get the transcripts of podcasts from Spotify.

Looking over the Spotify API documentation, this doesn’t appear to be possible.

Does anyone know of a different way to obtain a transcript of a podcast ?

Dear Internet,

If i get a Network Access Storage device, like Synology or yadda yadda, could I run a language model on that device like LLAMA?

I'd be using the NAS for personal and for work. Ideally, I would upload information to a database on the NAS that the language model has access to and give access to my 2-7 colleagues.

I'm hazarding a no, but have no clue.

If you help me, I promise to make my language model good, not evil. AND I PROMISE NOT TO SUMMON ROKO's BASILISK.

Let's keep this between you and me, thebedpost

I know the whole data hoarding thing can be annoying, pricy and tiresome, so I wanted to lighten up some spirits, by asking why you all are doing it in the first place.

Most valuable for me has to be family video /pictures . From digitizing old vhs tapes and scanning slides, up to copy pasting the latest material from a sd card ( thank technological advancment).

Second place would be shows that hardly anyone remembers and get maybe 2 extra seeders over the last 5 years. Your trash is my gold apparently.
