little explanation, my ass is off to a group home and i need to offload hundreds of gigabytes of music, video and other content from my sister's external hard drive onto my computer's hard disk which only has 80gb left, so i can drop it off at a friend's house while i get my life back on track.
What should i use to compress this data into the smallest compressed filesize i can? I don't care if it takes 10 hours to compress and 5 to decompress, as long as it fits on my drive
Also, i dont even have enough money to my name for an external hard drive
Jackson Phillips
Upload it to the internet and then download
Brayden Hernandez
This was already on my mind, but thanks. I will compress and transfer copies between two or three cloud services.

>little explanation, my ass is off to a group home and i need to blah blah blah >while i get my life back on track. who cares about your bad taste in music
what did you do
Alexander Smith
Go to fiverr/upwork/mechanicalturk. There, you can do easy jobs that require little to no brainwork.
Since you have ~15 hours to spare, you can easily make $53.
That hard drive reminded me of when i saw it at jb hi fi (australian best buy)
i have a $30 jb hi fi gift card, and $45 left in the bank
in australia it costs $79 for that model.
i think i can haggle this one out.

im trans and my parents dont like it
Jose Cooper
that's quite the pickle. i can't exactly offer any advice on this predicament or speak from any experience
i wish you well on your future endeavors
Gavin Anderson
You have good parents. Being "trans" is just a phase, sooner or later you will figure out the world is better off without you.
Brayden Sullivan
thank you
also, i think im just gonna tar.xz folders in the main directory (including smaller ones together) and upload to a cloud service + hope for the best
Leo Sullivan
>based parents listen to them, kid. they know far far more than you realize. also, stop stealing music. theft is a bad habit that's better to nip in the bud when you're young.
Jayden Fisher
you cunt. my parents are abusive and they were even when i was living as "their straight son".
Xavier Carter
you could just write down all the stuff you like, store it in a readme, upload it to your google account and be worry free
Easton Barnes
Best way to do it is use 7zip at ultra compression, then transfer the files via two way LAN (ethernet) connection. You may need homegrouping and file sharing if on Windows. Cloud services are unreliable and laughably slow for high quantities of data
are you one of those people that gets their shit disabled for being stupid and then cries fowl?
i've been seeing a lot of this lately. you use their stuff, if you do something retarded they have every right to throw you out just like in the burger joints you're so fond of fatty
Dominic Ward
If i wasn't trans and it was just abuse of somebody non-trans, you wouldnt be saying the same bullshit. Also i suffered abuse before they knew i was trans. Get fucked asshole. also, what if i told you that a large amount of my music is direct CD rips, vinyl rips made with my own turntable, and music available for free online. A lot of it is bandcamp downloads too, and i believe in supporting artists. Some of the music i bought is no longer available from bandcamp due to removal, and knowing the state of the streaming age in the music industry, i never know when an album i paid good money for will no longer be available for download on my account. Get fucked.
Camden Adams
I have direct access to the external USB hard drive. But its my sisters and im no longer going to be living in the same house as her. but thanks anyway.
Grayson White
there are plenty of other places he could put a fucking readme, other cloud providers even anything i would want to have in 5 years i would not but on drive
Jackson Gutierrez
>stealing He didn't grab CDs off stores, he just downloaded 1s and0s from an unlimited supply.
Mason Gray
by the way, that greentext wasn't me. I will reply to your above comment in a second.
sincerely OP
Dylan Fisher
i don't understand, what's wrong with google drive
is it a reliability issue with their services or are you mad about something else? don't tell me, is it your political views or something
Juan Butler
Some of it is unavailable online, and a lot of it took me hours of searching too. But thanks for the input. I will be doing this when it comes to content i could do without that is in unlimited supply online. And for the idiot above who thinks i pirate music so heavily; most of the albums i "pirate" are just digital copies of records i already own.
Connor Perry
Wow, shitty parents raised a shitty son that wants to be a girl now. It's almost like the apple never falls far from the tree.
I don't blame you. But if you have a good head on your shoulders you'll realize you're retarded before you turn into a suicide statistic.
Good luck with that shit, though, user. I'd offer advise but the user that mentioned 7zip and cloud services already did that for me. Getting your own external ain't a bad idea either, I'm sure you can scrape the money together somehow :^).
Well apparently sex workers have been getting their n00ds removed by jewgle from their drives. We're talking about a, uh, "transperson" here, and we all know which industry they usually end up in.
Yeah I was about to suggest getting rid of the shit you can find again.
Xavier Young
>abuse being told to clean your room isn't abuse >vinyl rips yuck, throw that shit away and get cd's compressing audio is difficult because there aren't as many patterns that can be compressed if you have a dvd burner, then burning the files as data dvd's will allow you to store about 4G per disc it might take a while, but at least they are cheap and easy to store and transport
Carter Reyes
Sometimes I wonder how many Sup Forumsentlemen are actually trannies go figure, mentall illness (freetardism) is correlated with mental illness (travestism) who fucking knew >and i believe in supporting artists kek you're a trannie who's being kicked out of your home with no 50 bucks to spare and u care about the artists. go figure >my music is direct CD rips, vinyl rips made with my own turntable, and music available for free online. A lot of it is bandcamp downloads too an "artsy" type person becomes a penniless trannie. go figure. >But if you have a good head on your shoulders you'll realize you're retarded before you turn into a suicide statistic. no fucking chance, if he did he wouldn't be in this situation >Also i suffered abuse before they knew i was trans. they were mad at you because you were being a retard and not doing whatever they told you to do. you weren't "abused", being abused is being raped at 3 am on a shady street corner
