King me!

Why break that habit, I wish I had preserved my data. I have little recollection of the past, even on this site because I haven't kept any record of it.

>>59753376
i have only 6tb data currently. need more drives soon tho beecause only 1tb is free.

>>59753376

>>59753376
I do 99% of my TV watching from stuff i downloaded and put on a external drive hooked up to an android box(i hate streaming, since it always has shity 280p res or buffers)

So i have about 800 movies, and 300 TV series(half of which are anime, cause getting it is so easy) all on my 6tb HDD.... all amassed over the past 10 years. Went from a 500gb > 1.5tb > 2tb > 4tb > 6tv drive.cycle.

For music its just a hundred of so albums in 192kb+ MP3 format.

I only hoard music and images so yes i do hoard but require way less amount of storage to do so than most hoarders.

Never gave a shit about anime, videos, movies or shows.

>How do I break this shitty habit?
try sorting some of those things and delete the ones you think you won't need again even if it's only one file

then do it again after some time and again, etc

Did you not re-encode any of that?

I re-encoded all of my shit to HEVC and it halved the storage size at about 90% the original quality.

Took awhile but I went from a 3.2TB footprint down to 1.65TB or so.

>implying I'm parting with my 96kbps copy of Avenged Sevenfolds Bat Country

>>59756548
>tfw I still have 3.2GB of LM rainbow tables that I'll probably never use but keep around just in case

if that isn't the definition of hoarding I don't know what is

>>59756533
>halved the storage size at about 90% the original quality
I gagged. How poor are you to do disgusting things like this instead of getting an extra medium sized HDD?

>>59755189
wtf. in 20 mins? how do you that?

>>59753376
There's no need, hard drives are cheap

>>59756533
You could save even more space by uploading it all to Youtube. I don't think they check copyright on private videos.

I got tired of re-ripping shit every time a new codec came out so I keep one to one copies of my DVDs Blu-Rays and audio CDs and made scripts to rip all of it to whatever codecs I want. HDD's are cheap as shit these days.

>>59757319
They do. Why kissanime no longer does that.

>>59753376

Just get pickier. If you are never going to use it then don't download it. Also share what you have with others.

go to the PTG subreddit on /g/ and you will see why data hoarding gives you autism.

>>59757247
it's Sudoku, its not that hard.

>>59753376
who the porn star anon?

Just passed the 20TB mark. It only gets worse folks..

To the hoarders here. Is your stuff organized? Or is it just drives full of disorganized bullshit?

Would be cool to see some strategies for sorting it all.

I think I might be autistic enough to answer this.

Shows

Folders: > (Show Name) > (Show Season) > [Show File]
Ex: F:\Cartoons\2 stupid dogs\2 stupid dogs Season 1

Shows more often go [Show Name] - [Season #]x[Episode #][*] - [Name of the episode]

* Would be a,b,c,ect... if whoever ripped it split it into parts like a cunt.

2 stupid dogs - 1x01a - Red.avi
2 stupid dogs - 1x01b - Chameleon - Super Secret Secret Squirrel.avi
2 stupid dogs - 1x01c - Home is Where Your Head Is.avi
2 stupid dogs - 1x02a - Cornflakes.avi
.
.
.
And ect...

Music

Folders: Band Name - (year) - Album Name
Ex: G:\Music\Electronica\Hackers\Hackers - (1996) - Hackers Soundtrack

File: Album - Track # - Song Title - Band
Ex: Hackers - 03 - Voodoo People - Prodigy

Movies I have no good system for. I was thinking of doing something with metadata

Hope I have helped you waste time in sorting files you never use.

>>59757198
;fuck off, not everybody has a decent job

besides, I needed it in HEVC anyway for Kodi streaming

>>59757319
nah

>>59758249
Thanks anon, autism appreciated.

So how many top level folders do you have? e.g. Music, Movies, Shows

How you choose between Cartoons and Shows, for example

>>59758067
My music gets a folder per genre. Video games get a folder per console. Porn gets a folder per site. My PDFs are all tech shit so it's loosely sorted. If I have more than a few books on one subject, I'll make a folder. TV shows, movies, and anime get their own folders. Stock images, fonts, firmware, midi, audio samples, PC related ISOs. I try to keep personal documents and images stored off line if I can.

>>59758067
All files thrown inside a folder and then I'm making symlinks a la tagging. For example
//Films/Genre/Action/StupidFlick.mkv
//Films/Year/2006/StupidFlick.mkv
//Films/Director/Fag/StupidFlick.mkv
all point to //All/StupidFlick.mkv

>>59758400
Music, Movies, Books, TV, Sci-Fi (Also TV), Cartoons, Anime, Audio Books, and Games.

>>59758067
It's all strewn about randomly, but I know where everything is.

Got 4x 3TB drives in a NAS for backup. PC has 11TB for movies, TV, MP3s and runs Plex, Sonarr and couchpotato. Now rebuilding another PC to run esxi so I can run Windows for my Plex and apps and another VM to run either FreeNAS, unraid, or openmediavault. No drives other than an SSD yet, and 16GB ram.

Suggestions on how I should do this properly? Add ideas on how best to use dual NICs for this kind of setup

>>59758067
Tv shows is the only one I go autizmo over
>Show Name (The)/02x02 - The Episode name

>>59753376
WTF does that even say on the chalkboard?

>>59753376
I used to do that. The only way to quit it is to delete everything. Moderation is impossible.

>hoard data related to thing of interest
>get burned out gathering said data or lose interest in source material
>purge all related data
>enjoy that free space available number you rarely even look at

This is what I do and I don't regret it because I rarely return to things and actually enjoy them to the same extent that I originally did. Nostalgia doesn't compel me to save fan media or excessive amounts of files related to something.

>>59759500
Are you asking about the exact text on the board that is partially obscured, or just about geosynchronous satellites in general?

>>59753376
I have tens of thousands of images saved but I don't look at any of them on a regular basis. Starting to finally sort through them though.
