Who here digitally hoarding? Torrenting will be almost if not completely dead soon. A lot of shit will get lots to the ether. Why aren't you doing your part to preserve it?

What's a good way to store massive shit. I have a couple 8TB drives but I'm talking fuckhuge.

>Torrenting will be almost if not completely dead soon
No it won't, retard.

Saying that, I do hoard a lot of media in exchange for imaginary internet points.

tape or shingled drives

>if I dont want it to happen it won't happen

Hmm

Because i lost my virginity a week ago and had hard 2 hour long sex yesterday.
No reason to warch most anime anymore.

Are 6 and 8TB drives worth it these days?

I remember higher capacity drives to have high failure rates

Frankly, seeing as even BBS's still exist for old data, nothing ever completely dies. Data may be lost to the ether, but perhaps it was always destined for that.

>if i make a shit argument that will surely show him

Fuck off m8

Of course.

I've got half a dozen archive 8TB with backups in a separate state.

Lying to stranger on an anonymous image board. How droll.

>i-i'll call him names that will show that b-baka

I heard that the 8tb drives have a high failure rate. Maybe 4tb would be better.

>Torrenting will be almost if not completely dead soon

Why? I noticed far fewer people are using torrents after nyaa died.

No lie

Anime really is a do_not_reproduce medium. I have 0 desire to watch it again, even dumb harem comedies that i liked.

CG3 im gonna watch thou

All I need ia Transformers 1-6 and I'm good for life.

I've got about 15 TB data. I just finished putting together my 8-drive raid 50 mediasonic box - 64TB so ~47TB useable.

Everything is backed up. Ideally I'd have a drive somewhere else in the world for backup.

I mostly have tv shows and older movies.

Backblaze say 8TB drives are more reliable thus far. But if you really want high reliability buy HGST drives (costlier though).

8TB is worth it. The 10TB drives are skewed higher in $/TB than the 8 and 6.

I'm gonna have to start late.
IPFS will save us, right?

He did not make any arguments though. He just made the claim without any arguments or evidence and just makes fun if you don't agree.

Sneakernet, m8. Look for the

In the future, piracy will be significantly more difficult than it is today, and ISPs will be forced by law (paid for and written by je... the entertainment industry) to crack down hard on people who pirate media.

The end result is that normies go back to paying for the media they consume, but pirates simply head to the shadows. One person manages to pirate a new film or album, and they end up sharing it via physical storage. If you want the new summer blockbuster you'll have to find out which person in your group of friends was able to pirate it, then you'll meet them with a USB stick in hand. Or, you'll get together with your friends and everyone will bring their laptops and you'll all hang out over a piratebox party, grabbing whatever.

People will grow closer and a new era of true sharing among pirates will begin.

Should be fun.

hey, im not sure i understand.
is the idea to have a backup of all the stuff once you're unable to torrent things?

but people always want the new stuff, so there is little purpose in hoarding the old stuff, or am i missing something here?

Is it viable to use ReFS on Windows? I would prefer not to learn how to use btrfs just so I can have a file server and nor would I have a 2nd PC for it any time soon. It seems like ReFS has the important capabilities required such as RAID, scrubbing to prevent bitrot, ability to add drives of different sizes though I'm not sure it can do atomic COW snapshots.

>Torrenting will be almost if not completely dead soon

lmao kys faggot

Buying used external HDs from pawn shops and harvesting the "deleted" vids and TV programs via Recuva. Got over 12 TB of stuff to get through.

Mixtapes.
Social de-atomization against the Man.
I think I like that timeline.

He did make a argument fag

>all the mudbois ITT getting mad their precious consumershit media will be lost
Lmao. Get a job and a life. In that order

I've been applying for jobs for weeks now. Might as well proceed with torrenting.

what would i work for if not for consumershit, or do you actually believe that a live consisting of work for the sake of work is worth living? kys

Nigger what are you even trying to say?

Wtf I love anti-piracy legislation now!

Ive got a job man. Just dont know how to get a life.

that you are a worthless wageslave

recently bought 6 10 TB drives at work, they've been running fine so far at least

>Buying used external HDs from pawn shops and harvesting the "deleted" vids and TV programs via Recuva
I wish I could do that, but it's hard to find hard drives around here.

You're a worthless neet. So what?

>I should really delete shit I have watched

>So what?
kys
Just as i said in my first post you idiot.

If you were watching anime for waifus you've been watching it for the wrong reasons.

I have 1.5Tb and all I horde is flac files. I'm still good on space.

Kys, also

I would hoard if there was anything worth hoarding in the first place.

I track down content related to Swedish internet culture from the 00s. Like, content that was spread through LAN filesharing and torrent networks, original content made for this purpose.

Why would torrenting be dead any time soon?

Just share your linux isos and gnu stallman memes.

>I mostly have tv shows and older movies.
post a list of what you have

Windows itself isn't viable and ReFs won't be considered safe for production for years by most.

Would it be possible to run games off of a home server? Like, I really Want to build a home server and throw there all my HDDs and get some new ones too.

When we get net neutrality we also enter an era of lawmakers regulating the internet. One of the first things they will do is act on behalf of copyright holders to regulate torrent traffic.

It's a nice thought but it's probably not how it will play out.

You're right that casual piracy might get harder and that the more dedicated pirates will find ways to keep at it. I don't think we'll start seeing people move the data physically to friends/family though, instead I think we'll see people using Syncthing, Resilio/BT Sync and other reasonably easy to use encrypted file-sharing tools more.

What kind of retarded naming scheme is that?

Please change it to 'Anime 2013 Spring' or something that makes a bit of sense when sorted by name.

which is impossible since its all encrypted .

one does not simply roll back the internet, the drop in piracy has not been from any anti pirate laws, its been from getting shit to the end user more conveniently than a torrent.

(You)

> (You)
>which is impossible since its all encrypted .


WTF are you talking about. Deep packet sniffing has been deployed for decades. Your isp knows how you use their service. They know when you torrent, and I'm sure the assumption by the FCC will be that by in large BitTorrent is a platform for piracy with little to no legitimate use.

>Who here is back to buying CDs? MP3 will be almost if not completely dead soon...

Same post 18 years ago.

I horde almost all of what I watch and download now. Since the nyaa scare I've gotten a little bit paranoid about losing it all. I keep most of it on a 2tb external at the moment but am thinking about getting a decent low speed 8tb to put in my main system and also another external to use as a back-up

Does the rest of the horde help you hoard?

I've been hearing that for two decades now.

Only on the weekends

>watching content in the provider's own video player which can disappear any day
>more convenient than a simple torrent

>MP3
It's awful that such an ancient codec still lives on when it has been superceded for over 10 years at this point.

You have finished your life goal now you can die

fuckin gay asf mate

Is this the movie Solaris? I wanted it but I could not find a working filehost. Uploaded.net started to delete content.

Would you recommend the 8 TB archive HDDs for someone who only saves 4K movies on them? My HDDs run 24/7, is there a noticeable difference in lifespan?

I only just stuck a 250 GB storage drive in my PC because I had it laying around with no other use. Still have no use for it so it sits empty, alongside my half-full SSD. The only stuff I keep are important documents and sentimental photos and those only take up a sliver of an external archive. For all the FUD I've always either found what I've wanted or not been too fussed if I can't.

They can't detect torrenting over vpn.

First, most people including torrenters don't know what a VPN is let alone how to use one. Second, VPNs will become regulated in the name of security and require some sort of licence/special privilege to use.

>uploaded.net
>3 fucking hours to download again from the same host if you are a free user
Just use leechers.

How would I go about backing up 5TB of data onto an 8TB drive?

As in I don't want the drives to overheat and break since they're externals in an enclosure.

Maybe do 500 GB sessions, then pause for 30 mins, then keep repeating?

>As in I don't want the drives to overheat and break since they're externals in an enclosure.
It is usually the enclosure that breaks. Not the drive. And anything within the operating temperatures of the drive is ok. Just backup everything in one session. If you care enough, I guess you could place the drive in front of the intake fans for your system.

I have about 3TB of movies and TV, and another 1.5TB of music, photos, and software on my home server. And then I still have a ton of DVDs in storage and a thousand books or so.

While I don't use torrents to get my media, I also don't think they're in danger of dying, net-neutrality or no; there are ways to disguise traffic.

>torrents

Torrents have been at least a fifth of all internet traffic since the tech went critical mass back in the mid00's. It turned piracy into a two click affair. If you want to go oldskool, you have to hit IRC for a friendly group, or trudge through shit on newsgroups.

You're implying torrenting is only used for piracy user, it's not.

It's never going to get banned because it's a P2P protocol that exists between two computers, there's no middle-man to stop it.

It's like saying FTP is going to get outlawed because people download things illegally using it.

how do you organize that with covers and all, it looks amazing

I wasn't implying that the only use for BitTorrent is piracy, I was implying that the perception by people outside of the Sup Forums world think it's only is is piracy.

Sure it will never be stopped. But access to it can be limited by going after trackers and even client software.

Is is so hard to imagine a world where a torrent client must verify that a magnet link or .torrent does not allow the user to download copyright information by checking the downloaded files or filenames against a mpaa database? It might not catch every infringing user but it would make every aspect of torrenting more difficult for the user.

This is what content creators and lawmakers want and they're trying to make it happen.

>You're implying torrenting is only used for piracy user, it's not.
Most of it is, nobody cares about neckbeards and their GNU/Linux distros.

Also when we ban non-commercial encryption next year, free and libre software will have to be illegal anyway to enfore the ban.

Can't you trim the filesize down? As in look within the directories and find redundant code that can be trimmed down/remove unnecessary files?

You're actually delusional if you think every bittorrent client is going to get strongarmed by your gooberment.

Spoiler alert: we don't all live in america. We don't abide by your laws.

I know you are baiting replies but at least try to make an effort. It's no fun when you make it this easy.

>can't imagine doing anything with his monies except buy 'entertainment'

How about doing or creating anything whatsoever, or just kys i guess.

Nah, it's mostly video files. I guess I could trim some videos, but then i'd be a bad hoarder.

Now, if hoarders can unite and put all of that content on GNUNet, it might all be ok.

You could try shortening the filenames of the videos, by removing spaces and such, this wouldn't disturb the content of the videos, merely the filenames.
example:
Video name: Citizen Kane
Right click
Hit "Rename"
Rename file from "Citizen Kane" to "CitizenKane"
Repeat

>most torrentors don't know what a vpn is
Sure I guess in places that torrenting isn't regulated they don't use vpns for it but they are commonplace nowadays.

Why wouldn't I just use an open source torrent client that doesn't phone home to the mpaa? I mean, I already do, so what would change?

Hah! Ditto and same results. just migrated from 8x3tb drives to 6x10tb(both raid 6) So far, so good

If I just dump all my data into an 8TB drive and store the drive in cold storage, how long will the data retain its integrity before it starts throwing errors when I read it back down the line?

It's because 10TB drives use helium, assuming you're talking about WD Gold, Seagate IronWolf, HGST He10 etc.

Why would it give you errors? That only happens with SSDs because they lose data if they're not powered on.

I'm not that well versed with storage tech, thanks.

Just make sure you wrap the HDD in anti-static bags or in a case with foam and make sure dust can't get into the case. See if you a nearby store has IB-AC628, that's what I'm using to store my drives in cold storage.

It's real sad

What are all those blue logos on the covers?

>Torrenting will be almost if not completely dead soon.
Except no? Torrent is a constantly evolving protocol, accompanied by constantly evolving tools to manage it. Only a retard who thinks
all technology is static can spew such inane moronism out of their facial anus.

Nice, can't wait mate!

Anyone who has Ironwolf 8TB? Do you know how long the drive has to be inactive for the head park?

>VPNs don't have ISPs

>implying the creation of something is not 'entertainment'
just kys

the 8TB drives use helium too
at least the Reds from WD

Monitor temperature and set up a PC fan next to the case to pull out the hot air through the vents. Even a small amount of airflow is pretty much a miracle compared to purely passive heat dissipation. That should work fine since HDDs don't get THAT hot and don't use THAT much power.
