datahoarder

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home....

I’m doing something right, and I’m doing something wrong....

Does anyone know if Lemmy has support for a “replicated instance”?...

By metadata, I’m talking about things like text descriptions of a photo/video and where they come from, or an explanation of what a certain binary blob contains, its format, how to use it, etc....

Right now, I have around 20TB of data in redundant ZFS mirrors, so I am somewhat protected against any single drive failing. Critical data is backed up at various cloud providers, but that’s only a few gigs of all my data....

I shared major music releases and dumps on the Datahoarder subreddit in the past. Just got a notification that Deep Elm Records will have 280+ albums available for free for 48 hours on Bandcamp on July 6 and 7th. Total value will be around $1500 of music. FLAC, WAV, AIFF and your usual lossy formats like mp3 will be available....

Given how iHeartMedia, Spotify, and Apple are all more and more invested in the podcast ecosystem it seems they are purchasing content and putting it behind a paywall. I’d like to make sure the podcasts I care about are backed up....

The more that content on the web is “locked down” with more stringent API requests and identity verification, e.g. Twitter, the more I wonder if I should be archiving every single HTTP request my browser makes. Or, rather, I wonder if in the future there will be an Archive Team style decentralized network of hoarders who, as...

On the Internet Archive you can get a few different alpha versions of the game Outer Wilds, and a demo version too. But there’s an older version that I can’t seem to find anywhere....

Whenever I wipe my PC, I use tar to make an archive of the whole system. This works, but having to decompress the whole archive to pull files out is very annoying. Is there another archive format that:...

Here's the bottom line.......

I hit the subscribe and it says "subscribe pending." I could subscribe to other channels but not this one. Do I need to get manual approvals?

There's a great deal on a drive from Amazon Warehouse, but I'm a bit concerned about the quality of the drive and the fact I can't return it....

It would be a shame to lose the wealth of knowledge with easy-ish search that subreddits like datahoarder provide if the subreddit is taken down or stays locked forever. Sure it is currently accessible, but will it stay that way?...

SSD drives have been getting cheaper, so been looking into it.

Lately I received a primergy rx2530 m1, m2 and m4 (all maxed out with ram and cpus) and wonder if and which of them can be driven as energy efficient as any random diy built. I saw plenty of energy saving options on the Bios (cpu and ram related) but do not know how comparable this is with a consumer setup and which ones are...

Just got mine and it’s working great.

I noticed there is no link for this lemmy instance at the subreddit, people would get lost if this continues....

Due to me having to switch google accounts, i want to store all data in my account, including youtube videos. Can someone help me out? i live in the EU so the GDPR applies for me if that is relevant somehow.

tldr: a huge torrent of books straight from the academic publisher De Gruyter...

This guide is a copy. I didn't write it but after seeing some posts about ripping music collections here I wanted to share it in the hopes that everyone's music rips will be of a higher quality than they would be otherwise....

Some of you maybe familiar with Bazzell, a former FBI agent turned OSINT specialist and privacy expert, his podcast is covering “self hosting” services for the next few episodes....

I recall seeing some discussion about this over on original DataHoarder. I’m looking to begin the process of archiving a daily large number of 8x10 prints of family photos....

Hi all. I currently have a SFF pc (HP Optiplex-like but smaller) running Plex and some other software. Happy with my software setup for the time being....
