I've bought a scanner and want to scan photos for friends. What is the best way to store other people's data in a way they can easily access? I need a cloud based service where the viewer can see their high quality pics but noone else's.

I finally got a NAS and so far I'm storing large files on there such as footage from various projects. I also have important documents such as prescriptions, tax returns, and financial documents that I frequently access that I keep in my computer. My question is should I keep those documents and back them up to the NAS occassionally? Or should I move them to the NAS and access them via SMB?

My NAS is currently being backed up to S3 Glacier Deep Archive and an external USB. I suppose if my keep it in my computer, it adds another "layer" of backup. I'm curious to know what would r/DataHoarder or r/datacurator do?

Does it use the RTL9210 or JSM583 controller? How is it compared to SSK or Ugreen options on amazon?

I have a couple of podcasts I'd like to archive. Is there an app I can give a feed to and have it download everything and stay in sync? Preferably a docker I can run on unraid.

Features:
* Runs without any GUI environment. Suitable for servers and the cloud.
* Automatically keeps games updated during successive uses.
* Support for downloading from MEGA links as well as itch-native uploads.
* Automatic archive extraction.
* Uses itch.io's own "Collections" feature to create download lists.
* Filter based on desired platform(s).
* No use of AI during development.

There is also a docker image, but it's currently lacking documentation: https://hub.docker.com/r/neon725/butler_archivist

This tool started as a personal project to let me update games on my steam deck via syncthing in the background without manually launching the itch.io app. It's worked well for that purpose in my own homelab, but in light of the recent controversy, I figure other people might like to start data hoarding. I've spent the last few days cleaning up the rough edges, adding error handling and some light documentation, preparing it for containerized deployments like docker and kubernetes, and adding the `--no-remove` parameter, which prevents games from being uninstalled if they are delisted from the site.

Note that this tool cannot do anything that the itch desktop app can't do, with the exception of MEGA support that had to be implemented myself.

Happy hoarding!

Hello there

noob here

I want to buy an external hard disk 4 or 5 tb and the available options for me now are:

Seagate Firecuda, Seagate onetouch and WD my passport. I read about the USB interface problem of WD, Any other known issues?

I do backups once every month or more if this will make a difference

Salve a tutti, ho bisogno di aiuto per una dock station sulla quale qualche anno fa mi e' morto l'alimentatore.

Al posto del suo originale che e' un 12V 2.5A sto usando un 12V 1A e con un disco toshiba 2.5 DC + 5V 1.0A non mi ha mai dato problemi.

Ora pero quel disco ha dei settori danneggiati e quindi lo volevo sostituire con un wd gold che ho a casa. Il problema e' che non funziona nella dock station mentre se collegato al pc non ci sono problemi..

Sull'etichetta del WD gold e' scritto: 5VDC: 0,68A e 12VDC: 0,55A .Quindi se ho capito bene non dovrebbe essere un problema di alimentazione, o sbaglio?

Hi all, to begin with, I'm NOT in the US, and all hard drives sold where I am have practically no manufacturer warranty, and I'm also a complete noob, my knowledge is tiny, I recently managed to build a NAS out of a repurposed HP EliteDesk 800 G3 with 16GB RAM and 120GB NVME for the OS. It's diskless and I attached a 4TB Western Digital external hard drive to mess around with it, setting up Ubuntu server.

My current library entire size is around 2.2TB, and it won't get THAT much bigger easily I am in the process of buying my drives.

My intention is to buy a first drive, then either add another and setup RAID 1 or add 2 and setup RAID 5.

The reason I am writing this is because of my options. and price points will help me decide which route to take, noting I will be fairly satisfied with 8 - 12 TB of usable space, preferably 12TB though

1. 12TB Seagate ST12000NM0127 (Unused/Zero hours logged) but not entirely new. No warranty equivalent of 130$
2. 12TB Seagate ST12000NM0127 used with under 1000 hours logged, 120$// no warranty
3. Brand new 14TB Exos X14, 1 year "seller" warranty 180$ (kinda out of my budget, while I can afford it, I don't want to do this stretch)
4. Brand new 8TB Exos, 1 year "seller" warranty 110$.

My NAS has 4 SATA ports, and has trays for two 3,5" hard drives comfortably and can fit 3 if I want to, 4 would need a skill I do not own and while I can, I don't wish to seek help from others, specially that I might not find the needed parts (fitting 4 drives would be a dream but I don't wanna build my plan while I am unlikely to find the parts needed to fit those 4 drives).

So my plan can be either use two 12TB drives (whichever you guys think is best), in RAID1, or use 3 brand new 8TB drives, I'll start with one then add either another and do RAID 1 first then add a third and do RAID 5, or just go ahead and add 2 more at once and do RAID 5 at once.

Lastly, my friend will be in the US around November, I can wait and buy from serverpartsdeals but knowingly I will not benefit from any sort of warranty since I am not in the US, and I'll also need to buy all 2/3 drives at once because I won't be having that opportunity again.

What would you advice me to do?

Thank you, and sorry for writing such a long essay lol

I run retro games from my Samsung T7 2TB external ssd and it’s almost full. I’m interested in getting the 4TB and I’m wondering what is the best/easiest way to transfer the data from the 2TB to the 4TB. I use a Samsung GalaxyBook 2 laptop. I appreciate any help.
