I also use Jotta cloud backup for the NAS. FreeNAS was my choice because of snapshots (some protection against extortion viruses) and just because I wanted to learn it. I also generate a weekly HTML digest of everything added so I am sure to be enjoying, not just hoarding.Īs for my setup, I have a 40TB NAS running FreeNAS that I built and backed up locally to WD Easystores. I try to automate collection as much possible, so I have a Raspberry Pi running Ubuntu that does most of that via crontab and some scripts. In my experience I've needed a different tool for each source I'm interested in scraping, but YouTube-dl and gallery-dl are both essential and versatile tools. I prefer free software that could require some technical skills but not to the point that I will be creating from scratch a python-based crawler. What's the best way to scrape: IMDB, HowLongtoBeat, Steam, MyAnimeList, Youtube and easily apply to my files? I will soon consume my laptop's ssd and I'm planning to fully commit to data hoarding.Īny tip? Should I get a PC and have some DAS or an out-of-the-box NAS? Also, in managing the metadata of the files, what's the best way to bulk organize metadata of: MP3s, WAVs, MP4s, MKVs, ISOs, FG Repacks? Now this recent months, I started collecting quotations and dialogues, I use sony vegas to manually slice some content from the source material. Licenses, proprietary content, artists changing their minds, re-releases (even getting the original 70s starwars is difficult to find in legal platforms) and most importantly this recent lockdown which prevented me from using ride-services to get from one point to another. Until I realized that some media/ content are fleeting. Due to the convenience, this also pushed me to subscribe to Crunchyroll, I figured I don't anymore need to keep a personal copy of the media/ content that I enjoy. And also, I have a dedicated hard drive for anime and game OSTs. This prompt me to learn basic metadata editing and some near-manual data scraping from known websites.įast forward again, early working life, I have a new PC, my 4th build, I started watching anime again and backtracking classic games so I started buying external hard drives so I can easily keep the animes I enjoyed and revisit the games that smells like the summer of the 90s. I then figured out that most of the effort I made in Itunes were only in Itunes and not embedded on the actual MP3 files. Friends would then approach me to organize their portable music player or primitive mobile fones. For me to keep up with my storage capacity, I have to burn CDs to keep my collection going.įast forward early college, I got my first portable music player, an iPod, I enjoyed managing my Itunes library to make everything neat with flashy album art. I remember back then I used to collect heavy fan-made Final Fantasy and Dragon Ball AMVs. It was a typical Pentium 4 with just below 50gb of storage.
