I think archiving sites such as reddit is very important, and I’m glad that it’s happening. And yet here I am on Lemmy, a perfect opportunity where I could almost effortlessly archive the entire social media site, including every single post, every comment, every edit, every deletion, and I basically have zero drive to do...
Good intention, to let us know about the strategy. But i would guess everybody knows the strategy since most of us are working in IT. Hence the downvotes.
But tbh. everyone should hear about it. No backup? No sympathy. (Kein Backup? Kein Mitleid)
I have scraped a lot of links from instagram and threads using selenium python. It was a good learning experience. I will be running that script for few days more and will see how many more media links I can scrape from instagram and threads....
It seems like 6 or 7 years ago there was research into new forms of storage, using crystals or DNA that promised ultra high density storage. I know the read/write speed was not very fast, but I thought by now there would be more progress in the area. Apparently in 2021 there was a team that got a 16GB file stored in DNA. In the...
I’m going to let you in on a little secret: Rayman for PS1, Toys VS Nightmares for PC flash, Jackie Chan Stuntmaster, and Crisis Beat all utilize some sound effect files from The Cartoon Trax 1. And right now, I’m trying to locate the source of Crisis Beat’s “anime-style” sound effects (the kind we heard in Alvin...
So I have a nearly full 4 TB hard drive in my server that I want to make an offline backup of. However, the only spare hard drives I have are a few 500 GB and 1 TB ones, so the entire contents will not fit all at once, but I do have enough total space for it. I also only have one USB hard drive dock so I can only plug in one...
Hello c/datahoarder! I need your help. Not sure whether this has been asked before—I’ve tried searching the web, but the only advice I can find is how to download episodes for podcasts whose feeds are still active....
Hey guys, I’m setting up my NAS (openmediavault) and very much enjoying it! It now runs my Nextcloud and a couple of services. I got a mirror ZFS setup of two 8TB drives....
I’ve recently aquired the hardware to build a home server/NAS. I’d love to know some community-guided advice on tools I should consider, and what best practices are?...
Well I’m just about fed up with streaming bullshit. I currently have a home server that’s just a raspberry pi4 with a bunch of docker containers and it served my light usage well....
I have about 100gb and growing that is critical for my business. File size growth is slow, so it will be years and years before it even gets to 200gb....
I admit they were way too cheap for what they are (like 15% cheaper than same-size Ironwolf), so I gambled it haha there were no indications that these drives were OEM or similar....
Apologies if this isn't the right community to ask in, I figured folks who use them would know, but if there is a better place to ask, please let me know!...
it would be great if the downloader isnt command line based and can list all the VODs of the channel at once after typing in the channel username/ link (but not too necessary). TYSM
I have an old computer that I use for storing and streaming my media. It has an attached external drive. I would like to increase my storage and build something that could be extensible to at least 100TB. I am not worried about backup....
