Asking mostly because I have fuckloads of video courses, plus a number of movies, that I have yet to even check if the content is as good as their titles imply and I really feel like I’m mostly hoarding this stuff because I have no fucking clue.

    How do you avoid “hoarding”?

    Looks at my 28TB storage array that’s 3/4 full…

      You’re doing great man, please keep it up i’m not even joking. Maybe someday you’ll be the one guy that still has that old gem everybody lost.

        I actually keep a list of works that I’ve shared online that would’ve likely been lost without my intervention. Physical-only Bandcamp releases that I’ve ripped and shared. Sample packs that have been taken down from webstores, etc. The Internet isn’t forever people. Better archive what you can

      Drive space can be had for less than 10USD a TB, so I’d hardly call hoarding a problem. Unless youre hoarding hundreds of copies of Call of Duty

          I buy refirb server drives . With a raid array and warranty, the risk of a failing drive is within an acceptable range for me.

          This listing was a bit cheaper last I looked, so just over $10/TB is more accurate to say now haha.
