“Rookie number” — the data hoarder community, probably
It's all fun and games until all the drives have 70,000 hours on them.
At that age they are obsolete for 24/7 operation anyways, the electricity savings of getting a denser drive outweigh the upfront cost of the replacement
At least with German electricity prices 😭
it's all fun and games until i discovered all the vhsrips on internet archive
I'm at 40tb used right now. 20tb to go before I get to buy even more space!
Yep, my Plex Library is 90tb. But it's also shared with all of my friends and family so there is a justification for it
This is literally me lol. 20tb and all. 😂
I'll send you a marriage contract shortly.
If I was rich I would get two of the Seagate 24TB drives for my jellyfin server. I have only 5tb external drive that is almost full. Like 50GB left.
That's just a normal thing storage devices do. Data always ends up adjusting itself to larger storage.
Yeah I can usually free up a Terabyte of my 16TB array relatively pain free...
Also way cheaper than upgrading.
I thought the same, I feel called out
On my way
Curated content, you say?
Right? I can feel bad about not offering my family the same quantity as the mainstream services, then I remember that while I don't have 40,000 films I do have 5,000 handpicked by me, so no trawling. Also, I'll never make my friends feel dependent on me as I make their home theatre experience better for free
5000 is more than what Netflix offers. They have about 3500 movies.
I'm really against the whole netflix experience. I don't want a GUI getting between me and my media. Just VLC for me, thanks.
I have jellyfin for group viewing and sharing, but it's actually just a bunch of symlinks to an NFS share, which is also exposed as a fileserver (caddy with basic auth)
So I can stream via jelly clients, or remotely stream/download files directly, or read straight off my local NAS.
Ah, I see, fellow
telnet starwarstel.netenjoyer.When did it stop being
towel.blinkenlights.nllol. I should have said a second GUI.
I’m interested in using VLC more for home viewing. Right now it’s my only option for playing my imaged DVDs on the fire stick. The interface is decent but I’m wondering if you know of a more normie friendly way to select titles, other than browsing a network share.
Not really, that's what I do.
Played with it again yesterday. Interface is better than I remember but I think it viewed the .iso files as DVD directories, forcing me to pick a VOB file and deal with it.
Is that similar to your experience?
I haven't used ISO much since my days of PC game piracy. I know VLC handles physical media with slight jankiness like what you're describing though.
If they want a specific movie you could just add it. That's how I do it, whenever we remember some movie or find something new I just add it. No need to have everything just what you actually want and if it's good I'll keep it there instead of deleting it when cleaning up from time to time.
So I have found that I use a folder everything new goes into and then if it's worth keeping or I finally get the whole season it gets moved and properly organized into a permanent folder. Its been really good for keeping the stuff that isn't worth it quarantined to be deleted.
Some shows and movies aren't worth the hard drive space.
Yes! I have recently set up a Jellyseerr (Overseerr fork) service which really helps, as they can browse from a load of categories and I get their requests on my account and get it to download to the right directory.
I'm still working on the download part, but I've crossed the mark on upload.
Damn you must have some really popular seeds for that ratio.
Dark Matter (2015) is doing most of the heavy-lifting.
Nah, just use public trackers and it's incredibly easy to get such a ratio. Because almost no one actually bothers seeding on public trackers.
I really struggle to get a good ratio on Linux ISOs, they are popular but also so well seeded that it makes it difficult to seed much
I'm doing my part!
Impressive. How long have you had this server? Mine is about 1 year old.
I don't remember when I set this instance up, but it's been a few years, yeah. Maybe 3 or 4. I had another torrent client before, but those stats were lost when I switched from windows to linux. I also have another instance of qbittorrent with a few TiB of upload, but that's mostly used for hoarding wikis.
Woops.
Just need 2.78TB more for optimal storage utilization.
Stop, I can only get so erect!
Problem solved 😌
i'd fall in love instantly if this happened
It's me, I'm the Xenia. XD
The more the merrier, other trans folks especially welcome =D
Jellyfin and chill, pls.
Feels like I'm being presented to "society" 🤭
Now what's that sexy dashboard
Looks like grafana to me
Right, should've guessed by the interval at the top. Light mode confuses me.
I am.... oddly aroused.
You should've said that in the first place, that's so much hotter 😍
Well why didn't you lead with that?
Some people enjoy dating on hard mode.
What is that command piping to?
And is it executing a file with spaces in its name? Disgusting.
The command is
makeand the rest are its arguments.But it's quoted. Sudo doesn't parse args that way.
Ah yep you're right.
The command's piping you 😎
😩
Ok first of all you people have too much money to spend on hard drives.
Secondly, it's not curated if you are downloading everything ever.
I've got 8tb full of a 12tb raid array and that already feels like enough for a lifetime.
There are people with actual Petabytes of data at home. 20TB is nothing if you're storing 4K
get 2 for redundancy and better read speeds, that's ~$670 and some space to spare (they're 26 tb each)

storage isn't that expensive nowadays, and density is still going up. Seagate is expecting to be able to make 80 TB drives in the early 2030s
Yeah do you guys not see that recommending $700 dollars just for hard drives might be my point about having to much money? That's a huge jump up from an external drive and a torrent client.
That cost is 6 years of streaming services.
At this point the hoarding is just the hobby instead of the media.
I don't do this, I just don't think it's particularly unreasonable to have that much storage. It's less than what apple will charge you for a 2tb ssd
Well that's like saying going to 7/11 is cheaper than going to the moon. Apple charges multiple hundreds of dollars for a watch band, and $80 for a holder for their pen.
If you just want to be able to watch stuff and have some in storage to watch later less will do you than getting half a rent payment payment in hard drives.
Yes, if you're limited on money you certainly don't need that much. You could get very similar setup with Seagate's 8tb drives for like $200. And things don't need to be stored in archival quality either. Just saying that amount of storage isn't crazy expensive nowadays.
Also you forgot the $700 Mac pro wheels lol (yes they cost that much now)
Yeah. I'm just holding the line happily of what you can get away with minimally since I used to use a cell phone plan and a USB adapter for micro sd cards. But that was for sharing movies with people that didn't have internet for months and it was basically currency.
You are correct that server setups are shockingly cheap especially when compared to any apple product ever.
I'm very proud of my budget server setup. around $220 in total for an i7 6700 thinkcentre from the university surplus store, plus 16 gb ram, a 256 gb sata SSD and an 8tb hdd
I don't use it for media hosting or anything, so the 8tb drive is mostly just for backups of the server and my desktop.
Damn, I really need to up my harddrive game. My biggest drive is 4TB.
I literally just had 2 4TB external hard drives that had more than enough movies and TV shows with anyone I would trade with.
I don't think we all need every show ever.
I'm a bit of a data hoarder, a lot of content from YouTube or public broadcasters is worth saving, or is just a big favourite of mine. I've already been deleting more files than I like to.
I am looking at 4TB as an SSD upgrade at this point
I have a bunch of Fanxiang 4TB drives, eg S880. I didn't set out to have so many but crucial, Samsung, etc all failed way too often in early life.
I bought a few on a lark and stocked up on those and pine 64 stuff to do a 36 node ceph cluster (if you figured i got the idea from Jeff Geerling you get a gold star!)
Last year my heat went out during below freezing temperatures and I lost three Toshiba drives, out of three total.
Cluster is almost 2 years old and I degoogled with it. I have an additional rack of raspis and orangepis that run my k3s cluster, Jellyfin runs on that along with some additional infrastructarr.
The k3s nodes run off of virtual iscsi images served by ceph, rgw gateway for s3 compatible api, and the only public exposure requires access to my zerotier network. My home router runs it, then my phone and laptop and that's all within the zerotier free plan.
The Fanxiangs have exceeded my expectations and they are competitively priced. Watch their eBay store for the occasional bulk discount deal. Give one a try, I run my laptop and desktop on them now as well.
A single movie is 50-80GB for a high quality rip. I'm at around 9TB and have seen most things in my collection, and that's maybe 6 years of light-ish use. I'm planning another 60+TB this Black Friday.
So firstly, some fun trivia. Did you know that 720p is still considered HD? High quality rip is very subjective. Secondly I have 4k movies at like 16-20GB you are going like fully uncompressed.
But congrats I guess on the upgrade
here I am storing my movies in well compressed 1080p av1 and considering it an upgrade over streaming. to think there are people using 80GB per movie. I suppose if you have a great screen and eyesight it might be worth it, but for me I don't think I'd really notice the difference even if I bought a better tv
A single tv show can take over a TB of space.
Can.
I have all of top gear for like 200GB. It doesn't have to. We don't have to Overfill extra large shows.

Will actually be better than Netflix given it'll likely have shows you wouldn't currently find on the platform
Sorry I have to go. I'm not physically attracted to animals. Also it smells in here. No... No I know, I also self-host. Apache. Mhmm. Oh see, that's why I don't open any ports, I just use tailscale but it's limited it to three users. Nah, anyway look I gotta go sorry. Later.
Tagging nodes and using auth keys may take care of some of that.
Oh ok in that case we can fuck let's go
Pls, i nd sum1 liek dis in my liiffeee
i believe you, you can't even afford letters, let alone netflix
i sv pnnys hr n thr
this reminds me i need to get a new harddrive
I just saw 30TB exos drives are out. Thinking these will be my next batch of 4 to triple my usable capacity
I'm at 6x6 with 2 redundant but am approaching 17TB used with 1 drive in need of replacement. Do I need 6x20? No. Is that what I'll probably get? Don't judge me.
I’m currently sitting at 4x6 and 4x12. I’ve been eyeing 4x24 to keep the doubling going but those prices have only gone up in the 6 years since I got the 4x12 drives. These 30s are the only time I e seen the $/GB drop
I want that shirt
I appreciate the xkcd reference shirt.
It's strange seeing Eric Schwartz' art style out in the wild. I can't remember ever seeing anything of his pop up after the mid 2000s so I figured he just gave up on art or faded into obscurity or something.
edit: I guess there's just an uncanny resemblance of this one character to his style. I looked up the artist and saw it's pretty varied. Neat. Also there's a follow up image where they can't decide what to watch so they just fuck instead.
Can someone explain the closing bracket? ¿Porqué?
Pay and download. Despite the fact money is not distributed appropriately, unfortunately.. one should still show respect by paying for the virtues shown on display.
Instead of paying to enrich the digital feudal lords, you can also show respect by using that money to build a shrine in your house and start worship the creator and/or artists of the things you love.
Yes and <3
I don't know a single site where you can pay and download movies without DRM
You forget to consider the third option.
Download metalica and friends. Throw cash money at local theatre, film, and music.
buy merch from the in-between.
Not an option for everyone, though gratitude for the recommend
Oh, people who can't afford it, obviously. Everyone deserves art in their lives.
Could not agree more!
downloading makes james hetfield sad
I've bought a few blurays even though I don't own a player. I want to pay for high quality media, but the streaming sites won't give me high quality. I pirate what I want then buy what I really enjoy.
Great strategy! I can absolutely recommend saving up for a good player and audiovisual setup to view them on. Bluray quality is far above what can be streamed, all the details available.
I do not own such a setup myself at this time, have experienced a good home theater. Worth it!
i would do that but they killed the ability to buy dvd sets
Yeah, in some cases they simply leave no other option than to sail the high seas, indeed.
Cheat the pimps.
