Storage is cheap. There’s no reason to delete content.

UnspokenIdiot ,

depends on what job are you working

HouseWolf ,

And where in the world you live.

I got a friend in Australia with a pretty similar storage setup to me, but he’s paid about 1.5x as much as I did in the UK.

Only reason I delete content is when I upgrade. Like replacing a low resolution version of show with a higher one. Still, I keep immutable “snapshots” of my entire media folder so even after deleting something, It’ll stick around for at least 6 months in case I need to restore it.

Same deal, got a full 3-2-1 backup of all my data! Easy to recover if I make a mistake but even easier to replace with higher quality newer builds of Linux isos.

Do you need the space? If not who cares.

Personally I run a media service for friends and family. I’m about to bring another 100tb online because we are running low on storage. Am I holding or just running a rack of servers in my basement?

when a wildfire took down my internet last month I sure didn’t regret hoarding. I had plenty of unseen entertainment at my disposal, watched a bunch of new shows. when it did come back I decided not only to keep hoarding anything interesting to me, but to invest in a new backup drive to keep the hoard safe lol.

There’s no reason to avoid hoarding!

How do you avoid “hoarding”?

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

tobogganablaze ,

Time to buy new HDDs.

Dreyns ,

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.

Emerald ,

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

Dreyns ,

Yes yes yes ! Keepers of knowledge!

gopher510 ,

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

Where do you get such cheap storage? I’ve seen it closer to $20/TB usually

gopher510 ,

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.

charade_you_are ,

I got a couple 3TBs in my array that just look funny. I don’t like them and I want them gone.

herrcaptain ,

Avoid hoarding? Let’s just say I bring a real “gotta catch em all” energy to the trackers.

A) Almost every day. I have a constant backlog/watchlist but it’s small and fairly constant.

B) Once or twice a year I go over my media and delete movies or shows that I’m definitely not watching again. I am hoarding, though only the good stuff. Nothing wrong with that.

hendrik ,

Haha, good question. You're not alone with that. I suppose you just clean up once per year. Like you're supposed to do with your wardrobe, or that one drawer in the kitchen...

Reverendender ,

You’re supposed to clean your wardrobe?

hendrik ,

Uh, no. I don't know what I'm saying. I meant sort through, get rid of old stuff. I've never cleaned the insides that way. And I suppose don't do that to the harddisk either.

Instructions unclear, am currently taking a bath with my SSD

scottmeme ,

My goal is to store everything, that way I have no dependence on remote media

Flax_vert ,

Home datacentre 😋

scottmeme ,

Well yes, but also actual DC space lol

    I keep the stuff I download and seed it until I run out of room, I have a TB hdd for movies and such; and since I download like huge files, I usually delete stuff if I don’t care about it a lot

    I watch movies and series once, and keep them on my hard drive until I’m running out of space, then delete from the oldest to newest. Music I’ll consume very regularly.

    safesyrup ,

    If i need something, i go look for it, download it and keep it seeding until i have no more space on my hard drive. I rarely download things i don‘t actually need or want at the moment.

    tobogganablaze ,

    All the time. It’s my primary source of entertainment media. And why would I want to avoid hoarding? Hoarding is the goal.
