It's A Digital Disease!

Howdy y'all, I recently downloaded all of my Twitter bookmarks and since this is year's worth of bookmarks it has resulted in around 4000 files. I would like to sort all these files into separate folders but dragging and dropping each file or small bundle of files is rather tedious and time consuming. So I am in search of tools that can help speed up this process. my first idea of something that might be helpful would be a program that uses keybinds to move files into folders. but any tool that can make this go faster would be very helpful.

Thank yall so much and have a good one

Before anyone says anything about USB to NVME (990 Pro with Sabrent).

.

I am looking for something for quick work. I had a SanDisk Extreme Pro but lost it (thanks kids).

.

Any recommendations?

I have a bunch of well organized bookmarks. As I was recently going through these, I noticed some are gone forever, some can only be accessed through the web archive, and some are behind a paywall.

Fuck that, I want my articles readable in 2100.

1. Is PDF the best format to export a web page to? If not, what is?
2. Is there a tool I can feed a big list of URLs to that will give me those pages as whatever file type is the answer to question #1?

I haven't looked, but, I am assuming any browser (Firefox, Chrome) will easily let me export all my bookmarks into an easy to parse list of URLs, thus making #2 easy to do.

I wonder what could be the issue and how to solve it, is it corrupted? Is the TBW reaching limit? I have over 450 GB free.. what could be the issue? Should I reformat it?

Transferring 130 GB takes 10 minutes while on my second same drive it takes like 2 minutes. I'm having that drive 1 year old.. should I be afraid?

I can't find a way. It would seem like a really easy piece of software for a programmer to write, but googling doesn't turn anything up. Does anyone here know of anything?

Hello fellow Datahoarders!

I've been using gdrive with rclone mounts and freefilesync to move and access files.

I would like to remove gdrive from my setup all together but keep my setup relatively similar *setup explained below*.

Does anyone have any suggestions for a simple self hosted cloud drive replacement?

I've been trying to set up Nextcloud but I'm realizing I probably don't need something with a full feature cloud suite and, not being familiar with linux has been a bit daunting to get it set up and functioning. I've attempted the windows docker desktop aio version (has issues handling external drives) and the Ubuntu manual/snap versions which have led to network and apache issues.

I've also heard of filebrowser which seems less bloated but figure it's a similar setup situation.

I would preferably like a setup using windows . Though I'm open to whatever as I'm slowly becoming more familiar with linux.

Requirements:

• Accessible from any computer (phone would be useful too for photos) - "any" meaning Ideally I can access via a browser or something (like gdrive) and upload or download files if needed.
• Can be mounted on any computer as a local drive (Rclone)
• Can use freefilesync (either directly or via rclone/local mounts)

*My current setup:

• I have a main desktop running Windows with several external drives used for everyday use - It's the general source/first line of any data I create/get/etc.
• I use Rclone to mount a google drive to my different computers and use freefilesync/realtimesync to automate uploading/updating to the gdrive as a backup and so I can free up storage on the main computer.
• Then I have another Windows desktop at another location with a DAS that uses freefilesync to download the folders from gdrive for extra backup.

I would like to set something up on an unused miniPC that I have with usb3 external DAS to replace the gdrive step in my data flow. This miniPC can be used exclusively for this cloud replacement if needed.

I do not want to pay for a different cloud service and I am looking for a free/non subscription based setup using my own local hardware.

Appreciate you reading through this!

I want to download the entire Dr Stone manga from free online resources. To my knowledge the only way to successfully complete this task is by saving each panel individually and reconstructing them into a book through another website. The information I need is understanding how to download the contents of the webpage using inspect element on windows. Is that possible?

I'm wondering if I can use a NAS drive as an external HDD. Why? I don't want or need the full-blown power of a NAS solution but would like to piecemeal one possibly in the future. For example, maybe one day I have 4 NAS drives, all with enclosures acting as external hard drives, now I only have to purchase a 4-bay diskless Synology or something similar.

Is there a third-party app that allows you to bring your Facebook Messenger conversation with someone over to your PC, and then save small conversations on the thread as different conversations that are titled? Almost like journal entries with someone you love...

Hey there

I'm setting up a NAS and trying to decide which type of RAID to use. It's a QNAP TS-h2490FU with 24x16TB SSDs

The server is to be used for an onsite project for 3 weeks. It will then come back to our building and be used as a server for active projects. Redundancy is pretty critical for us but we will also be making backups constantly. Seems like RAID 50 or 60 might be best but I'd like some input if anyone has recommendations. Thanks!

Hi everyone

I have a large database of photos (over 50 years of old family photos scanned from analog film) and I'm looking for good storage solutions. I would like to keep the highest quality original scan files, but this already results in >6TB of images. In addition, I would like to store a compressed version of each image (currently, these are shared via PhotoView with the family), and various edited versions (removing dust and scratches from the scans, color correction, etc). This basically means I'm searching for a system which can store tens of thousands of images, various versions of each image at different resolutions and compressions, meta-data and album structures.

This does not need to be a hosted, always available solution. I'm happy if I can create an export or similar, e.g. of all compressed images, which can then be loaded into PhotoView, Immich, PhotoPrism, Piwigo, what ever. I don't need all the raw high quality scans to be directly available.

What I'm saying basically is: I'm looking more for something like an organization or archiving tool, than a photo library. Do you guys have any recommendations? Thanks!

My parents want to buy a new "family PC" and asked me to do a backup of their old iMac from 2013 running High Sierra. But my father doesn't want to use Timemachine because he believes that the data on the disk will become unretrievable without another iMac that runs the same OS once they'll switch to Windows in a year or so. Now this doesn't sound right to me, but since I haven't used Apple products in a very long time, I have no way of knowing if this is true or not given their disdain for obsolete products.

My parents want this HDD just as a safety backup in case something happens to the new PC so long-term compatibility with both OS is their top priority.

Should I just format the disk as exFAT and use Timemachine without thinking about it too much, or should I just manually copy every single folder just to be safe?

Thanks in advance for your help.

I can't find any evidence that they actually do remove content and the owner is content to just stay anonymous (well, maybe not any longer) and just let the website do its thing. Personally, I use the website a lot because I like the permanent status of it, but if it gets taken down... RIP.

Anyway, does the site actually remove content? Give a clear example please.

Hi all, as above, scan is advertising their OEM drives as fully covered with WD manufacturer warranty. They have a nice discount on their 14TB ultrastar drives @ £240 each which I am considering. The only thing is that as far as I know, OEM drives are not covered by WD (see here), yet scan says that the drives come with the usual 5 years WD warranty. Is this legit or is that a mistake on scan's website?

Wanted to download videos from Erome.com. Some videos can be downloaded by just right clicking and "Save video as" but many, for some reason, the video simply doesn't support right click.

Please tell on how to download videos from that site.

Found the way, thanks!

Been trying to find an episode of one of Martha Stewart’s show for quite some time now and have had no luck. Any tips?

Here's the situation:

I have a NAS that I plan to use at home for backups of photos (I know RAID isn't intended for backup, this will be a secondary back up location) and to store media/plex server.

If it were you, which RAID config would you use for this situation? I'm stuck between RAID5,6 and 10.

Keypoints:

• NAS with 4 drive bays
• I have x7 1TB drives (so 3 spares)
• Want to use as secondary backup location for family photos and possibly video storage/Plex server
• Care most about capacity and recovery in case of a dead drive
• Write/read speeds aren't as important as above point

RAID5 sounds nice, but most people say RAID6 or 10 instead. However the extra 1TB would be welcomed.

Any advice?

My use case is to power 2 2.5in sata ssd’s as my psu’s cable doesn’t fit and I only have 1 sata power output left. I just need something that is straight to fit into the ssd mount on my case but also reliable and won’t catch on fire. Could anyone link me to some good products please?

I'm making bug-out kits that include personal data archives. What's some software that's good to have backup installations of in the event that we lose access to the open Internet?

I mean things like VLC, Linux installers, program editors, stuff like that.

This is a small, highly portable archive, so let's try keep it under 128 GB.
