Eu pra cousas así, que sexan discos duros ou baterías sempre compro novo. É máis caro xa, pero a menos dun fallo polo dano do transporte ou de fabrica dáche moito máis tranquilidade.

Fai uso de diskprices.es, pode axudar.

Agora comprar compoñentes como tarxetas RAID de segunda, iso se é unha boa cousa que che fará aforrar un pastón.

While it’s always a bummer when a storage drive goes bad, at least I can be glad that it was a redundant disk on a secondary backup system.

…I have too many servers. #datahoard #dragonhoard

Backing up Spotify

We backed up Spotify (metadata and music files). It’s distributed in bulk torrents (~300TB). It’s the world’s first “preservation archive” for music which is fully open (meaning it can easily be mirrored by anyone with enough disk space), with 86 million music files, representing around 99.6% of listens.

Anybody know a good *automated* way to take a bunch of audio files with semicolon delimiters and properly splitting the tags in a way that's compatible with picard / jellyfin? #linux #music #datahoard

I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the cultural works to which we don't have access. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.

As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that I like to read and organize books so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn & practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of communities out there to help and share strategies.

But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of librarianship rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class. Friends who know: what are some of the better places to get started with an introduction to library & information science and archive science?

Corporations hoard & suppress culture. They try to lock the collected art of the last century behind DRM & streaming. They want us to own nothing & have no rights. Pay and consume; never create, never control. These artificial psychopaths (run by ordinary human sociopaths) are parasites. They know the price of everything and the value of nothing. Art and culture are just tools for profit, not things which hold meaning, tell stories, or inspire. They have no respect for the society which supports them or for the people who create. We should have just as much respect for them. Simultaneously, the LLM-purveyors want to vacuum up every scrap of writing and every video & picture & podcast to replace human creation with synthetic slop. It's already ruined search & wordfreq. If the art-stealing robots are allowed to "train on" all art & culture so that they can churn out trash, then you sure as heck deserve to re-watch your own re-runs whenever you feel like it. Not just because it might inspire you to make something better than corporate synthetic dumbasses. But because you're a human person and that's a good enough reason to deserve a personal archive of all art and knowledge. The only obstacles to this are corporate & capitalist. Dust off your tricorn hat & update your NAS. Make local copies of the art which matters to you. Actual files on a physical hard drive or SD card in your hand. Back up your bookmarks offline — the web rots and that one post with the answer might not be there next time you need it. Don't rely on the Internet Archive; it's under attack and may not survive. Share with others; rebuild Alexandria. This is not a new thought. I wasn't the first to say it; I won't be the last. But it bears repeating. This is not a post about tools or tactics; it's about outrage and action, resilience and community. But I'd love to hear your suggestions. What's your favorite tool for guerilla archivism? How do you keep backups of your bookmarks? What should aspiring archivists know?

What's the path of least resistance to archive reddit.com threads that are somehow still online?
I've seen that web.archive.org and archive.is can get blocked by reddit's bot detection, and even if not, they don't archive all the permalinks to nested comments etc.

Apparently I just noticed I am storing over 55.5 TERABYTES of data on my server.

My server's 89% Full in one year and 10 months.

How did I get here again? 😂
