Does anybody else still collect media?

This

Collect physical media.
I have a DVD/BR collection, personal library, comic book collection, record collection and even old video games.
Digital is impermanent.

lol the way the things are going by the time the decade ends and all the people I like have been metoo'd and their music/movies removed from streaming services I'm gonna be kissing all of my HDDs and servers.

I learned that when HBO took all of their Louis CK stuff offline and spotify started talking about morality. As if I'm letting corporate jews dictate morality for me.

I only use cloudstorage for SFW and small files like school/work docs.
The rest is saved on my external drives. I'm planning on setting up a homeserver soon, mostly for fun and to possibly streamline my file collection method.

I was 10 years old 10 years ago

No fucking excuse mate.

>taking the intertubes for granted
It will all come tumbling down eventually. And then you guys without local porn stash will be fucked.

hoarding media is the only thing that brings me joy in life

Not me because I can't afford it anymore, though I knew some who had PT of files, like every movie ever made, dumb shit like that. Now I'm limiting myself to Japanese stuff and only 2D just for the sake of art.

Whenever you need to buy a new machine, set up the old one as a fileserver. If you use an unlocked cpu, you can undervolt/clock it so it uses minimal power. Then install FreeNAS and hook it up to your router.

yes but only because when I go to watch something there's a 3-30% chance its been deleted from everything else never to be seen again.
the internet is not an archive and it is not a backup. Eventually every single file currently hosted on the internet will be deleted from any online archive and the only copies that remain will be on the personal drives of data hoarders.

Yep. Going for an upgrade on the NAS shortly.

I do. I rip and encode everything to my custom set h.264 profile. Store it all on my server

oh god what a sexy!
does she do nudes?

When VHS was the shit I built up a thousand VHS collection.
Then DVD came and I collected the same films on DVD as I had done on VHS.
Then bluray came and I did the same again.
When 4K-UHD bluray came, I bought like four movies. All ones I had never seen before.
Then I got internet and bought like 3 movies on AppleTV and 12 on Google Play Films. Then I thought "Why the fuck am I buying movies, I haven't watched movies over again in a long time". Buying media is like hoarding in my opinion. And they cost like 20-50USD per film nowadays. And if you want to sell them again you only get 1$ if anyone wants it at all. But everyone must make their own (costly) mistakes.

Who is she?

I buy it because it supports the studio who made it, and I like owning the film. Same with music. Plus it allows me to listen/view the movie/music in the quality of my choosing after being encoded. I rewatch my stuff all the time, even if only as background noise.
>Resell value
You don't collect media for research value. That's just the wrong mindset entirely.

My gf. Recommend you back off, user.

>Recommend you jack off, user.

FTFY

Ok.

Anyway, now I watch rented movies online. I don't use Netflix or services like that unless there's a particulare film that only gets there first or a series that I can bingewatch in a couple of days, then I buy a one month subscription and unsubscribe again before the month ends.

Go for it. Streaming video still looks like shit on my projector, where the macroblocks are as big as hams.

Once you get some money you can start making your own bluray rips.

i just ordered two well-needed 10TB drives (one for backup) that i'm gonna fill with anime

I started on private trackers when I was 12. Your point?

Gotta use a nas my man

How new are you?

Just get a NAS/old pc install radar/sonar and something like plex and your set

I quit for years after a HDD died and I lost most of my collection. I do still have some stuff I want to preserve though, and just downloaded seasons 1-9 of Unsolved Mysteries (the Robert Stack ones) from youtube to compliment my shitty low res collection of Beyond Belief: Fact or Fiction episodes.

>she

How do

How do I find a NAS to connect to?

you're better off not knowing what she looks like
I honestly regret finding out
enjoy the pic for what it is

>Fucking about with torrents and newsgroups
RSS has been a thing for longer than torrenting has been a thing.
Seeing how pretty much everything is HS these days I've set up unfiltered autodownload of their 1080p feed and autodelete after 12 months. That way I don't have to think about procuring any recent content, it's already there.

I'm currently having six HDD's with 8TB each. They all are filled with TV-series. Mostly in 1080p and some 5% also in 720p if nothing better available.
That's good for actual 422 different TV-series, which are mainly ripped and released from AMC, Amazon, Hulu, Netflix and so on. I do also replace such webstream rips with BluRay rips if available.
If i would pay a montly fee for all these services, i could esily spend even more money on fees, than i do on the HDD's and premium account from share-online.net
The share online account costs me 4 years for 100 eurocuckmoney, which i paid anonymously with paysafe cards bought cash at the gas station.
Normally the account is 3years for 100 bucks.

The advantage of my collection is clear, i have access to it, no matter what.
A streaming fag gets blocked from all access immediately, the moment he stops paying, even if he's spent hundreds or thousands of bucks.
I haven't set up a server yet, because i'm the only one currently in our family using the content, but if the demand changes, NAS is already available.

If (((they))) happen to finally kill off filesharing, the streaming websites will most likely push their monthly fees on skyrocket levels.
10 or 15 bucks montly fees are just the bait to get people addicted. This will change soon, once the entire internet is China 2.0

How loud are these spinning rust drives?

In general, the internet will become a horrible subscription and thin client server based place.
Microsoft plans to evolve Windows into a web based OS, where your local OS is just a bootable internetbrowser and all your content is stored on Microsofts servers is making me worry.
Software vendors like Adobe already started with their subscription shit and more companies are following this meme.
For me, as a "traditional" PC user, this is a horrible scenario.
That's why i'm hoarding the shit out of the content i can lay my fingers on.
By now, i would probably need ten years or more to watch all the TV-Series i already have, if i watch 24/7.
And my collection grows with 100 GB every day.

You know, if shit really hits the fan, there's literally nothing wrong with simply leaving your basement and go outside, enjoy the sun, go for a swim in the local lake, have sex (just kidding), something like that.

Imagine being so retarded you think a single physical copy of something is more permanent than a file that can be backed up in multiple places.

Well, i do allt his. I am a road cyclist, train every week about 4 to 5 times with 700 kilometers each week, own an online shop where i sell stuff, have a wife and four kids.
But i like to have the choice and i hate being dictated around and i hate others making decisions on what is good or not good for me.

Of course, lossless music, a couple extended versions and directors cuts of my favorite movies, lots of high res images and all the stuff I produce myself.

>But i like to have the choice
You never had one in the first place.
>and i hate being dictated around
oh, nooo, someone call the cops
>and i hate others making decisions on what is good or not good for me.

Welcome to society, where all alone you're not gonna survive just one day, and where you'll always be dependent on someone else.

Download it from torrents

There's plenty of us. The only true upsides in using the Jew cloud are
>1) you don't have to know or understand anything
>2) just pay and you have access FOR NOW
The downsides are
>1) You're PAYING for them to create an extensive profile on you, the metadata you're providing for them is massive
>2) You have NO CONTROL over the media, meaning they want to shoah something, it's gone (I know this happens A LOT in Spotify)
>3) Even your ACCESS to the content is now completely dependent on 3rd parties, not only the service provider, but your ISP as well
>4) You're like a pet hamster, you have no control over what is being fed to you. Don't like the content? Nobody cares.
To anyone who's not a total poorfag and technically incompetent, this should be a no-brainer.

You could have backed up the .torrent files from your torrent client and re-downloaded everything.

A tablet with a 4G modem will suffice. You can stream 1080p over 4G no problem. Just make sure your server hardware's sufficient for transcoding.

Buy Laserdiscs like I do.

Yeah, maybe some shiny day.

Imagine being a poorfag millennial leftist who doesn’t own anything.

In addition to Laserdiscs I have CDs and books. I have some DVDs but not many, if I can get something on Laserdisc I prefer that format.

I have archives of Uber Land Und Meer which don’t exist anywhere online and have been purged in Germany too. They record the birth of Germany.

You can’t torrent this or get it from Netflix.

What you're doing is like collecting and cataloguing coins you get from the cashiers at the store. As a person with a bookshelf filled with non-special books, let me remind you, unless they're extreme rarities / leather bound / first editions / misprints, non-mint condition books are generally not worth the paper they're printed on.

Get out of here Nick.

cool as fuck, guy
I appreciate your appreciation for the physical, but I trust you have digital backups of some of your rarer literature?

The books I collect are for my own enjoyment and reference but I do collect rare manuscripts and leaves from works which are far too expensive for me to obtain whole. Here’s just a small sampling of what I am neutralizing right now for preservation.

Laserdiscs, rugs, books, manuscripts...It's like you're searching for an identity in the things you collect but never finding one.

No amount of stuff will fill that void in your soul, bruh.

Well cant you just download everything from the cloud anyway these days? Kek. Many of the books and other printed material I have have never been put online. Some stuff might only exist in my personal collection and perhaps large private libraries.

yopur entire comment makes no sense at all.
It's projection all the way.

>rugs go on the floor and keep my feet warm, and appreciate nicely
>books feed my brain and preserving old manuscripts so the covetous academics don’t lock them off is fun
>laserdiscs simply look better than digital video
Ask me how I can tell you’re Jewish.

what to keep? music? i have yt. movies? i have torrs, what? games? steam. literally what?

Nothing and when you’re gone nobody will care anyway. Disposable life.

>Many of the books and other printed material I have have never been put online
that's what I mean
I'm not saying you should share it, just create a digital back up in case of a house fire or something

>cat ears
>octopus tentacles
Umm, Anonkun, this is the wrong board for that kind of stuff.

>user advocates against brainless consumerism
>tell them they're Jewish
You don't know what that word means, do you?

Maybe someday.

Most books I buy used. Laserdiscs are like $1 each in lots or from the thrift store. Nothing I showed would be classed as brainless consumerism except by Jews on a pilpul streak.

Clearly you’re ass burned in some fashion. It’s fascinating to see the results of your very alien mentition, you know, the pointless garbage you post here.

>coolect rugs
Have a favorite? Any that really tie a room together?

how is collecting old out of print books even remotely consumerist

He’s just mad and is trying to spread his anger. I’m sure that user has nothing of value aside from maybe a leased automobile and a house that isn’t paid off.

I have a terrabyte of ripped DVDs which I just copied with dd into iso. What is a good way to shrink the file size, and still be able to keep the multi language and subtitle features?

My favorite rugs to collect are silk but they are extremely expensive. I also like Baluchi rugs but they are pretty rare. I don’t buy machine made rugs so this vastly decreases the number to choose from, and the prices are high.

>posts overly inflammatory non-argument to direct more attention to his incoming blogposts
Lmao, not gonna fall for that one. Enjoy the low resolution and having to flip the disc in the middle of a movie you delusional visually impaired hoarder faggot.

You didn’t deny being Jewish. I can tell too.

My player has auto-flip and unless you sit closer than two screen diagonals to the Tv it’s mathematically impossible to tell the difference between SD and HD assuming 20/20 vision.

Laserdiscs have better blacks, better dark areas, better gradients, they look smoother and are as sharp as one would need unless you were one of those fags who sits less than two screen diagonals away from your TV. They also have better sound than DVDs, I have many classical music concerts on Laserdisc, they sound amazing.

Hollywood hasn’t put anything decent out since 2007 anyway, the majority of good kinos are on LD.

Why? Because MUH SIX GORRILLION, or is this something even more autistic?

I can't find anything on Uber Land Und Meer that isn't in German.

This is why I have an analog Laserdisc copy of Ghostbusters. In the future they will say the only Ghostbusters was that one with the broads in it.

>unless you sit closer than two screen diagonals to the Tv it’s mathematically impossible to tell the difference between SD and HD assuming 20/20 vision
That's literally not true.

I love how people archiving rare books and manuscripts into their personal collection to ensure their safekeeping seems to greatly affect you. Did you don your sack cloth and cover your face in ashes before this post?

There are plenty of other threads which are probably more your speed, user. This is a thread for people who have physical possessions which could be considered valuable.

What the fuck else am I going to use 24TB of hard drive space for?

It is. Do the math yourself. What’s the smallest angle the human eye can sub tend assuming 2/20 vision? You can go from there. Or you can just read the book you dumb millennial. I’m sure it’s in your collection, it is the definitive work on the subject. High Definition Television Hi-Vision Technology by NHK’s Science and Technical Research Laboratories. The math is all in there newfag.

They just banned Culture of Critique from Amazon.

have you any recommendations how to rip the DVDs in terminal?

(((they're))) getting scared. Good thing I bought my copy years ago.

Wikipedia apparently has copies of this scanned on their German site, and has it up on Wikisource. I'm not knocking the idea of having this book or anything, but I'm just curious what you mean by it being purged.

Cry more, Kike.
