Do we have the hoardtism or do we delete and go next?

>>720700483 (OP)
i hoard but tv/movies/anime. not video games

>>720700483 (OP)
I mean let's be honest. How often are you going back to replay things?

>>720700483 (OP)
Hoardtism. Internet is dying.

>>720701153
Not to mention that people generally dies at 70 or 80, sometimes younger, so there's no time for anyone to consoom every single thing in this world.
Hoarding things up would be pointless because once you die you dont get to keep everything that you hoard in your life; sharing them so that people can also consoom your stuff should be the point of hoarding and preserving a media

>>720701380
That's so deep, mesmerizing.

>>720700483 (OP)
I try and keep a complete romset for most older systems on my NAS (mainly for my MiSTer, mainly for hoarding sake). Never know when Myrient or rutracker will go offline

yes, I hoard. I know that eventually I'm going to have to abandon the net. Something fucky is going on with it and I don't really want to be part of it. So I'm collecting like mad right now. Both physical and digital. All different forms of media. For me it's not about possession, I just want to have more options than I could possibly go through in a lifetime when I finally cancel my ISP subscription.

>>720701294
I've honestly been getting strong hoarding urges for that very reason. Realistically I think I shouldn't bother since it's not like I'm going to live THAT long and I also don't think of myself as building an ark for the benefit of future generations, but there's still that voice in the back of my head telling me to download ALL the shows and ALL the movies and ALL the games and ALL the books and ALL the comics

>>720700483 (OP)
I save stuff I like but usually rarely check what I've saved.

>>720700483 (OP)
Most of my pc stuff is on steam and I have 1 Gbps internet so I just uninstall
I have romsets and old isos, trying to hoard modern games is crazy with the file sizes
I got a lot of physical games too

>>720700483 (OP)
I downloaded a lot of installers for emulators recently. gonna start hoarding roms ans isos next

>1GB/s download speed
take a wild guess

I like hoarding gravure and jav. not too sure if i want to set up a nas or just use a jbod enclosure. no i will not stop.

Been hoarding everything I find since my teenage years. My hoarding tendencies have proven themselves to be the correct choice and I am waiting for the rest of the world to become like the UK before unplugging my Internet connection permanently.

>>720704243
I keep JAV I manage to watch all the way through
Which is very uncommon. It's like, a handful of cosplay JAVs and half of Hitomi and Anri Okita's discography.
H-anime on the other hand...

>>720700483 (OP)
My DIY Nas is running rn.
I need more HDD's, but I also kinda want to tinker with more home server hardware - want to buy one of those mobo's with a mobile CPU soldered to the board and maybe a beefy Workstation GPU for doing whatever with.

>>720704759
I'm this anon >>720704243, whats your build like? do you run it 24/7? do to access it only through your pc or more? should energy/power requirements be factored into it?

>>720701380
It just feels good. Like eating.

hoarding digital content is dumb, you talk about preparing for when the internet dies but your fancy hard drives will instantly become worthless bricks if the power runs out too

>>720700483 (OP)
I tend to delete vidya due to size but keep things I like and know I will go back to. Recently started to hoard what I can but other forms of media take precedence for now because vidya piracy is already operating in the dark and will likely be the last thing to get axed. For the most part it's a race to save AI resources, stable diffusion models, loras, LLM models. I wish I started sooner, like years earlier, the powers that be really hate the fact that the unwashed masses are still having the circuses.

>>720701380
when I'm an old man I'm going to upload a torrent of my vast, autistically curated porn archive, it will be my greatest legacy. I'm fairly certain some of the stuff I have are the last surviving copies, at least in original resolution not some 360p Xhamster reupload

>>720705264
you have no idea what will be legal in your country tomorrow

>>720705264
we're talking about censorship dumb fuck.

>>720704907
>whats your build like?
I have a mItx generic N100 mobo, a cheap 80+ bronze sfx power supply, more ram than the dinky CPU on my motherboard can likely properly use, a fully 3D printed case (excluding fasteners), noctua fans, and 2 8tb Toshiba nas drives + low power draw OS NVME. Using Openmedia vault for my OS, works alright.
>do you run it 24/7?
For the past few months, yea.
>should energy/power requirements be factored into it?
Definitely should be considered, given modern energy prices. Many low-power friendly options out there, but you have to be careful- for example the N100 supports crazy low idle power use in theory, but nearly every Chinese board does something to make that feature not work properly.
Only advice I have is get something that supports a large enough pcie slot to allow you to use some sort of HBA card so you can use cheaper SAS drives.

>>720705264
Bro, they sell solar powered battery backups for home server & industrial server usage. It would be less than like $1200 for a small setup that would keep you running 24/7, probably much cheaper if you're just running a Nas.

>>720705264
Digital hoarders are not preparing for a nuclear apocalypse, they aren't building servers in bunkers with the intent to archive everything. The idea is to have a NAS set up filled with media that might become inaccessible in the future for ne reason or another. The internet won't suddenly disappear either but it will be censored and controlled, the content you will have access to will be curated. Will it be as bad as some anons think? It's hard to say, but better be prepared. Don't come crying when that one edgy vidya or anime gets wiped out off the internet because it contains "harmful content".

>>720700483 (OP)
I hoard porn and I guess also anime, manga, shows and movies but I delete those when I'm done so thats incidental. I recently lost 3TB in a power outage when an old drive decided to fail catastrophically.

>>720700483 (OP)
Games are ephemeral. The anime I auto torrented from RSS a decade ago lives on my file server forever.

>>720705403
Is there going to be dolphin porn?

>>720705782
> I recently lost 3TB in a power outage when an old drive decided to fail catastrophically.
I lost a good portion of my life to that. Everything is stored in raid now because I never want that to happen again.

>>720705782
>>720705905
hmm...so it looks like i need to set up raid to protect my porno...do you guys use any good power connectors as well to protect your equipment?

Anyone ever try using Ultrium cartridges? A 15TB cartridge costs $76, but the drivers to read and write to the damn things are hundreds of dollars. It's a shame really, because the carts look cool in a retrofutristic way.

>>720705264
Correct but if something such as electricity ever dies then concepts like hobbies and leisure will most likely not be a notion that applies to daily life as we currently know it so this post is moot.

>>720706081
Are you aware that the first industrial revolution occurred before electrical power was invented and widespread, like more than a century before?

>>720704546
Based. Same here. Vidya fullsets are ez tier, but I also got lots of movies with Latam dubs downloaded from the now defunct Megaupload, VNs and their patches, flash stuff...

>>720706295
Are you just pretending to not know what electricity dying actually implies in today's world?

>>720706040
Tapes are very much for cold storage; read, write and seek speeds are abysmal.
Also, storage of them is a lot more complicated despite what some would have you believe. Do NOT invest in tapes if you can't keep humidity properly controlled (i.e. you're a eurocuck with laws against A/C)

>>720706081
what do you think people did in the thousands of years before TV existed? Stare at the wall and wait for the sun to go down?

>>720705807
of course, dolphin content should form the bedrock of any porn collection

>>720700483 (OP)
i've got about 150gbs of roms, and 2tb of anime/manga downloaded on my HDD (the roms are backed up on an extertnal SSD too).
i only download keep stuff i like, and it solved my "collection" autism surprisingly, because i used to spend a lot of time and money on physical games and anime blurays, just to "have them" or whatever. i still buy manga though...

i dont get the people who hoard 100s of random games you'll never play. they only serve to make it harder to sort through, even with a frontend, even if you can download complete libraries of older systems for only a few hundred MBs

>>720704243
JAV takes up too much space for what theyre worth. I hoard anime, manga, video games, and visual novels.
I also use Hydrus to organize my images, since I have over six million of them.

Is there a better way to organize and look through a collection of anime? it's really annoying to find something when i have to browse through a collection of folders with no thumbnails and only names.
I use Suwayomi for manga, but is there an easier way or anime?

The real thing the death of the internet means for me is that I won't be able to look at all the new porn releases daily, and I'll have to go back and re-read stuff, which is fucking depressing.

You can store every regular game worth playing in a couple of TBs.

>>720706081
Pre-electricity hobbies were mostly writing books, reading books, embroidery, heavy drinking, fighting duels, lynching niggers, and having sex.
Often, but not necessarily, in this exact order.

>>720708436
Try Shoko.

>>720700483 (OP)
I got a startech splitter cable for all my 2tb hdds. If I wasn't a neet I would buy like 5 32tb ones doe.

>>720701380
hoarding isn't so that you can watch all of it. It's so that you can watch what you feel like at whatever time (which you can't know ahead of time).

I had 10+ TB of pron saved when it hit me that I don't care to see most of it again.
I'm now going through my playlist of 48000 items deleting anything I don't care about. It will probably take a couple of years at this rate, I'm only around position 6000 and downloading new stuff in the meantime.
I don't even want to think about all the picture sets.

>>720708604
anything less gay?

>>720709429
You're never going to watch ANY of it again, just delete it all. your brain craves new shit, you're never going to scrounge through thousands of random unorganized junk to get your rocks off

>>720709028
It's a lot more cost effective to buy a couple of big enterprise drives, dude. I paid like 150 bucks for 16tb.

>>720709630
No I have multiple favorites that I go back to on a regular basis.

>>720709630
Speak for yourself, as long as you only save the really good pieces you like, it makes trawling through old stuff into a burst of quality, while going through new can still be sorting through lots of fresh junk

>>720709429
Porn needed up genuinely bad for my mental health. I couldn't fap to this shit without thinking about the person doing it. So I started looking them, getting more details of the porn stars, and they all lived hard lives. You get one or two that pretended to like what she did, but its all acting.

how do I solve this?

>>720712608
Install CachyOS

>>720700483 (OP)
I need something like this to preserve porn and anime and another couple 4 tb drives for the rest of my steam library.

>>720712608
Remove some files.

>>720708436
UHhhhh

Use a file renaming app to rename your anime to a consistent naming scheme (takes a fuck long time if you have a bunch of shit hoarded)

from there you can use plex or kodi as a gui to click through it properly, kodi is probably easier for you

obviously it's tedious as fuck, but its worth it to have your collection neat and tidy

I do it for my plex

AAIIIIEEEEEEEEE I NEED MORE

>>720713142
nta but filebot is great for renaming them (use the free open source version)

>>720713142
Kodi is the best option i've found so far, but the UI is ass and clearly designed with a remote, even after hiding all the other stuff the app offers

>>720705264
I'm actually preparing for when AI is advanced enough to use my massive archive as input to generate the perfect content

>>720713597
I use a spare steam controller as a remote for kodi, works okay but it can be pretty infuriating sometimes.

>>720700483 (OP)
hoard the installers. but not the game files.

>>720705512
Thanks anon, good to know. I'm still in the thinking phase for my NAS right now, so I might just get a huge HDD with an external enclosure, dump all my files there and keep plugging away. Because I know that if I do have a NAS, ideally I'll also want to start reviewing my network structure as well, setting up VLANs and what not.
>>720708284
That's a lot. Does Hydrus use a tagging system? Because using Folders is pretty outdated and I'm a wangblows user since I play vidya.
>>720704728
H-anime has dropped off over the years. But noting beats night shift nurses and bible black. don't judge me.

>>720701380
leaving your steam account to someone else in your will is against steam ToS

lol how the fuck they gonna know

>hoardtism
I installed truenas on my old gaming pc, got a few drives in there, it took me a bit to get it but there are some good videos to teach you.

if you hoard on single drives you will lose everything when the drive dies, always have redundancy. if a drive dies you replace it and it repairs the nas, you lose nothing. don't be a clueless hoarder. also smaller drives are cheaper, I don't even want to know how much a 32tb drive would cost. you can't buy a handful of them so forget it. get 6 identical drives you can afford and start there.

bonus points if you seed torrents sometimes

>>720715965
Do you have any plans to upgrade to a NAS or does your retooled PC serve your current needs? Good tips on setting up RAID and identical drives.

>>720700483 (OP)
I hoarded all kind of stuff especially anime pics and games but instarted deleting them now since I didn’t use it once in 7 years

i only horde porns
movies are easily fineable anywhere
but older porns are always locked behind paywall
or totally disappear if its not something prolific enough
especially amateur one
most if not all websites are only posting some cut content teasers using to shill some paywall onlyfans shits these days

>>720701380
>you live for today nigger mentality

>>720714128
Yeah it does. It automatically downloads all the tags when you download the images straight from the booru. You can separately add your own list of tags as well. There is also the The Public Tag Repository that automatically sync with your images though I dont personally use it. I use an AI Auto tagger that just sets them up for me automatically.

Yeah I've been hoarding images since I discovered the internet. It was a giant mess but never had the heart to delete it and start over. Hydrus was a real life saver.

>>720701294
This

>>720701662
I don't think you need "literally everything". I've been focusing on stuff I love and would definitely miss, stuff I have nostalgia for even if it's not very good and stuff I definitely want to try. I don't need to save stuff I'll never watch/play.

>>720708436
i just delete everything
anything worth rewatching I already have them in blu-ray/dvd

Hoarding games is pointless but hoarding TV shows and Film is very important because they will jew them soon enough.

>>720700483 (OP)
only idiot goyim rely solely on streaming.

>>720700814
this but I also add in porn.

>>720710790
this is why only fans/F2C become big
they are enjoying it

remember to also hoard the means to use them.

winrar
winzip
emulators
operating systems linux+windows
