Data Hoarder

Yet another drive I can only dream about

The post in the link was submitted on Jan. 30. and OP said the email was sent 3 days before that, which would put the beginning of archival (3 months from date of email) on April 27.

Takes bloody forever! First time upgrading storage on this thing haha.

Videos not viewed within the last year will start to be archived, watchable only by the uploader, and then deleted after a three month grace period.

Archive Team has just begun the distributed archiving of the Japanese SS Blog, a blog hosting service, which is set to be discontinued on March 31, 2025.

I discovered a while back that my Garmin GPS keeps track of everywhere I go automatically when it is turned on. I found this article about how I could easily copy the gpx files from it onto a computer. I like to hoard the gpx files it produces. I found a website called dérive which can show hundreds of gpx tracks on an OpenStreetMap background. It's super interesting to look at and see everywhere I've drove in the world. Additionally, the gpx tracks are useful for OpenStreetMap editing.

Faster downloads from Gofile, in case Internet Archive is slow or not available: https://gofile.io/d/EFyn1q

So I'm re-ripping my DVD copy of MAS*H to re-encode to a new codec, correct some mistakes I made with my original rip, etc. For example, I noticed that, since this was one of the earlier shows I ripped, I completely missed the fact that there's a second "No laugh track" English audio track that I didn't rip the first time around.

I set up an instance of the ArchiveTeam Warrior on my home server with Docker in under 10 minutes. Feels like I'm doing my part to combat removal of information from the internet.

The DapuStor Haishen5 SSD H5100 30.72TB is a really neat drive. A big trend in the industry is that large-capacity SSDs have gone from being very niche to being sold out for quarters in advance. Much of that volume is around slow, but very high-capacity drives. DapuStor has something different. A still denser-than-HDD 30.72TB capacity, but with PCIe Gen5 performance. That makes this a neat SSD.
