Is data hoarding a disease?

Attached: 1503219388881.jpg (299x339, 73K)

I'll download shows that I don't even plan on watching just to say I have them. I've got a ton of old Cartoon Network stuff from when I was a kid that I have no intention on watching anytime soon.

Thats what you get for procuring infrastructure without having a collection development plan in place.

data hoarding is a mental illness.
Normal people value their resources, regardless of how much of them they can afford. This is by the way how people get rich.

I think so

Depends if it is structured or not

House with books on the ground everywhere gathering mold = Hoarding
Library with organized books = Archive

Data Archiving is fine

b-but i dont even know u

no its not.
and traps are gay

Just went and deleted all the files that I didn't care about.

Ended up with about 10GB.

what did you delete?

About 5TB of music I never listened to, shows and movies I never wanted to watch, and games I never wanted to play.

I still can't imagine why I downloaded the Train discography in 2010.

I've also deleted movies and games. I don't play it, nor do I re-watch stuff unless under certain circumstances which almost never happens or kicks in.

do it like me and never re watch or play anything for at least ten years heh

btw user did u leave free there!?

>Ended up with about 10GB.
So a handful of songs, pictures and half a season of some show

Checked.

user then can i come to ur house and watch free with you im lonely

not him but you can come to my apartment

If you heard the data and never intend to do anything with it, then yea, you're a hoarder. I have a server with 2x1TB, 2x2TB and 2x4TB drives each in their own mirrored array. Then a stand alone 8TB for central backup for the arrays.

Each array is for something specific. Running out of room on my TV series/Anime series drive. Fuck. Dexter and Breaking Bad alone were around 1.9TB before encoding.

do you like cuddling

yes..
I was also thinking about hrt but I can't do it cuz muh pol standards

u better leave them behind and whats ur discord username? c;

Where can you reliably find that sort of content?

But yeah, I do the same thing with music - even if I don't like it, I keep it just to have it.

Most torrenting sites. I've got Foster's home for imaginary friends encoded in h265, Invader Zim, Codename Kids Next Door, Spongebob, and a bunch of other stuff. Part of it is some sort of belief that in the future it might disappear for some reason, and I'll have the last copy. But I doubt that's true, because there's probably other people like me who download that stuff.

I think that behavior is not good for your health. But I think it is a very good thing people like you exists.

>I still can't imagine why I downloaded the Train discography in 2010.

Because Train are incredible?

My mom has known their drummer since he was a kid.

yes.

Yeah this is bassically how I feel about data hoarders

Not being funny, but if it ever ended up that you had the last copy of this data there'd probably be limited uses for it. It might not even be readable at all, let alone copyable to other people.

if you're the trap then its not gay

That thought is not so dumb. It happened to Beavis and Butt-Head. All you get today are crippled episodes without the original music in it and without Beavis burning things down etc. So your best bet are torrents. This show would be lost already without the effort of some people ("The Kingturd Collection").

where can i get all B&B episodes in good quality?

tfw this puts you on a watchlist because
>planning for the inevitable demise of civilization means you could be the culprit for said demise

>Dexter and Breaking Bad alone were around 1.9TB before encoding.
learn to compress

yes, its a digital disease.

why the fuck would you download all that useless things op?
just delete everything and keep only what you really need and what you REALLY like

I thought I was messy because there are left 700 gb on my 1tb hdd... but watching this ...

Someone please answer

I'm in the same boat with a 6x4TB drive raid 6. It's like 20% full.

Just had a scare with my FreeNAS box. Got a email from it saying the boot drive has degraded. Using two usb thumb sticks for boot. By the time I got home I could not access the network drive. My nas box is not hooked to a monitor so I had to lug a TV to the box to see what was going on. It was just sitting at a GRUB screen. Rebooted a few times with no change. Swapped the thumb drives to different USB ports and the box booted up like normal. Safe to say my mobo is dying?

I never inteded for this box to end up holding all my files. I set it up as a test to see if NAS was right for me. It's a cheap Asrock mobo with the cheapest ram I could find. PSU is of decent quality. Are super micro mobos worth the cost?

How the hell do you guys use up so much space? I haven't even filled my 320 hdd yet

2d porn, 3d porn, music, screencaps from 1080p anime, anime pics, Jow Forums memes

Not him, but do reply pls

It said one of my mirrors were degraded, but it was because of some bug during the booting process, so I just had to restart it.

Is your system working fine now? Does it say "degraded" anymore? Might've been the same bug.

>Are super micro mobos worth the cost

depends if you want their features (ECC, access to UEFI over lan etc)

Seems to be working fine now.

ECC is something I want to do.

Lots goes to backups. I've got a copy of my boot disk from several computers on my array.

Did it show up like this

>mirror/swap0 DEGRADED da3p1 (ACTIVE)
>mirror/swap1 COMPLETE da2p1 (ACTIVE)

>Is data hoarding a disease?
It's just a really bad habit, nothing good comes from it, aside from faster and better hard drives being developed.
I'm really glad that I got rid of the porn, games and TV shows/movies that I had been holding on to since like 2009, don't have to spend unnecessary money on storage anymore and worry about hard drives dying thus losing all of my shit. I don't miss it one bit.

>I don't miss it one bit.
I don't understand you people at all. I lost a minor amount of data (through user error) about two years ago. It was nothing of great importance, some ebooks, old school assignments, etc. I'm still mad at myself for losing it and periodically wish I had it back. Never once have I felt freed by deleting things.

I just happen to like obscure stuff, and how many times have I posted something here that no one had... If it wasn't for people like us the internet would be lost.

If you have normie interests, hoarding is pretty retarded, but there's a valid excuse to hoard if you like obscure media. Like, live-action Japanese tv shows from the 1970's and the only active torrents only have 2 seeders. It may be available today, but who is to say it'll be alive to download tomorrow? You have to hold onto it for safe keeping.

I felt the same way for a long time, and then just up and changed my mind one day. I think it was when I decided to quit watching porn and deleted like 700GB of it. Felt so nice to have all that free space and it snowballed from there, with me deleting all the other stuff.

>when I decided to quit watching porn
Oh I see, so you fell for a meme

What does you redundancy look like just out of curiosity?

Yeah sounds like the same bug I had. If it's no longer degraded, then you've got nothing to worry about. Just make sure to backup your FreeNAS config and replace the USB if it dies.

I lost a major amount of hard to find data and just completely stopped wasting my time as a result

Google "King Turd Collection"

Not that guy but It's not a meme. If you fap too much it gets harder for you to get a boner until you cant even get it up or go soft if you stop for a few seconds, things you enjoyed stop turning you on and you need to look at sick porn to get that feeling of novelty you once felt, and it becomes an addiction too I have been trying to stop for years

kek what a loser
None of this is true. It's your belief that porn was bad for you that did this. You got memed.

>anime not on its own 4TB disk

So young and innocent. I bet you have been on the internet for less than 3 years. Lmao enjoy the ride while it lasts, you will eventually end up like me whether you believe it or not.

this is why you only fap 2-3 times a week

I've been masturbating to internet porno for 18 years, kid.

And I banged Jennifer aniston and Beyonce last week. what's your point?

My point is above, but you said 'you don't have enough experience, kid' or whatever and discounted it. You got memed on because your eyes were bigger than your stomach.

You really are retarded right nigga? that was a rhetorical question I was mocking you since everyone can lie on the internet, you aren't fooling anyone with your "lelel im older than you kiddo" it does happen and it will happen to you over time. trying to act all "mature" and denying it wont change anything.

I will stop wasting my time now

You're already wasting your time nigga

>I have been trying to stop for years
Dang, you should go and see a therapist about this, particularly if you want to find a wife, have kids etc. You'll be VERY glad that you did. It's hard to know where to find help with porn addiction since it's a very new phenomenon.
I was able to stop through willpower alone but I've heard that a good therapist can be to great help.
Good luck whatever you choose to do.

Mirroring is a diseasr. At least use RAID6.

Is this the data hoarders thread? I'm looking for TSPO album Arkestra, flac. I'll trade you a Blu-ray rip of Non Non Biyori.

raid6 offers worse performance, 100 times slower resilvering

I'm probably what you'd class as a hoarder based on sheer quantity, but what I hoard is mostly text/html/pdf files, so it's only about 120GB.

BUT I do have about 500MB (after compression) of Transformers fanfiction from the late 80s to about 2004.
