Looking at the rclone when migrating files off of the old disks onto the new ones is kinda interesting.

Esp. Because I'm very good at naming things...

I literally have no idea what these files are or where they come from at this point. But I'm also too afraid to just delete them.

I sometimes wonder how people with a looot of files keep their data sorted. I am always chaotic when it comes to organizing my files and systems like Johnny.Decimal are too complicated for me to stick with them.

What system do you use (if any) and which software do you use to store your data? i.e. Nextcloud, Synology Drive, Copyparty or something like that.

I've a new blog post out where I get me toes wet with the world of datahoarding.

Getting my toesies wet with data

Appears I have way too many Linux ISOs. What do people whose storage space is filled with Linux ISOs do? Correct, they get more storage. My home server consists of a computer whose creator specifically designed it to extort currency from clients. This means I am unable to upgrade its measly 256gb internal storage. For a while I used a random NVMe to USB enclosure to extend my storage space by another random 256gb.

I've got an Archive Team Warrior running on my NAS, with 6 concurrent items. I've got the bandwidth, might as well share it.

After stepping back for a couple of years, my #datahoarding is back with a vengeance and I spent most of last night studying #yt-dlp's man page and updating my configuration 🤓

3-2-1-1-1 Backup Rule (Apocalypse Edition)

3 Backups
2 Different media
1 Offsite backup
1 Backup in an Arctic vault
1 Extra-planetary backup

Because if your data doesn't survive a meteor strike, did you even have a backup strategy?

This re-sync to off-line mirror #2 took days 😆

My digital archive collection is kinda lacking at the moment, but this week I will be collecting more shit. This datahoarding site is an absolute treasure trove.

Data Hoarding

An index of resources and archives related to data hoarding, web archival and digital preservation.

Does anyone else remember Tux Racer, the old #Linux racing game from way back? Does anyone else also remember tuxracer.fubaby.com, where people would share their courses? Any way to download all the courses again? Sorry, but I want to upload all of them on the Internet Archive. I could only retrieve some of them from the Wayback Machine.

Tuxracer Belly Rub

Tuxracer Belly Rub, repository of courses for Tuxracer. Upload your own courses, rate and reviews others and chat in the forums. The primary hang out for Tuxracer course builders.

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.
