  • Thanks @Nekki for bringing this up.

    I am a hoarder of oriental sisters. I am using a 12 x 10TB dedicated server with unlimited bandwidth showcasing them at https://maleheaven.com/blog/

    It got updated every day and carefully handpicked. If anyone has any request for a particular genre / actress, please do let me know and I will try my best to accomodate.

    I clicked on it too. At work. Same note has been taken. Was not bad at all. Just some asian porn, neatly presented. I am used to porn, so no issues. Female colleague, who sat next me at the time of clicking, might have had a different experience. I could ask her... "How was that for you? Shall we do that more often?"... I guess we all know the possible outcome...

    I work with normal people - they all like porn.

  • I have some Princo CD-R from when I was a teenager. Maybe 10.

    Does it count?

    Sure, if you’re keeping a bunch of stuff on them you no longer need/is replicated on more modern media.

    I collect movies and TV shows. Little over 30TB so far. Is that enough to call it data hoarding ?

    It’s more than you can probably watch in your lifetime unless it’s all 8K, so definitely.

    Thanks for your comment and interesting story! We would love to know how your colleague responds!

    By the way, it has reached 23 Dec in my time zone so some new videos have been put online! I guess those are better than uploaded in the previous week. :) Don't miss them

    Mostly 1080p and a few 4K

    Why?

  • It seems I am a data hoarder too. I have email messages from 2006, and the oldest email messages are with my wife, from back when she was my girlfriend. Unbelievable.

    I even have porn stored in backups from 1999. I even have software kit from that time on CDs (like Windows 95, Fedora Core, Damn Small Linux, Gentoo, Solaris, Winamp, Atomic Bomberman, Starcraft 1, Age of Empires, mIRC, and much more). I even have pictures of my sister and her boyfriend, even though they broke up and she deleted everything with him from her own computer (in her own womanly retaliation at the time).

    When I think about it, it seems I am a data hoarder too. I never realised how bad it was, up until this point. Thank you @Nekki for bringing this up.

    The next step is consolidating onto bigger drives, but keeping the old ones as backups.

    Swiftly followed by purchasing sufficient cloud storage to make sure you have an online backup in case your house burns down.

    Fair point, I guess we probably need replicas in multiple geographies to be really safe.

  • iHorde mainly physical media.

    I have many old Compute's Gazette and ZZAP!64 magazines from the 1980's. Couple thousand vinyl (24 crates) records of all genres. Few hundred blank 3.5" floppy disks for my Amiga 500 and an old Roland sampler. I also have a small collection of unopened hi-bias cassette tapes I convinced myself I will need some day. Mostly BASF, TDK, Maxell.

    It seems I'm forever in the process of backing up decades old CDR's of data and stuff I downloaded/created in Y2K. I did recently find some old Roller Coaster Tycoon game saves, so naturally had to install it and play in a VM.

    Absolutely. Taking no risk and having a desaster recovery plan is paramount!

  • How many of you 90s Linux folks, like me, have spent any time over at linpeople’s irc channel pre-freenode?

    Seemed like there are a number of older heads in this thread that were Linux users in the 90s. A popular irc channel of that era was #linpeople on various networks (dalnet, efnet) before running their own network. Was curious if anyone frequented the channel in that timeframe; I spent tons of time there and that’s where I cut my teeth starting out running Slackware 96 at home.

    I get the feeling most of us are perhaps slightly too young for that - I was still at school in '96. I'm also not sure how many people actually had access to the internet until the very late 90's/early 00's.

  • I didn't sign up to an ISP for internet at home per se, but I did have a modem at home and shared a modem line at the university with one other colleague in 1997 (which itself was pretty decadent as I think the general modem pool was only 10 modems). I only ever really used it for emergencies though as call charges were about 5p per minute and even though the modems were 28.8k, they only worked reliably at 14.4k. If I actually needed to fix a server or something, I'd just cycle the 3 miles into campus instead.

    The golden age for modems at home was the early 2000s when companies like Freeserve introduced the 1p/minute charges without a monthly fee.

    I also remember buying a Slackware book back in 1997 because it included Slackware 3.2 on CD and by that point the minimal distribution had reached about 35 floppies and I couldn't face writing that many disks at work only to discover at home that one of them was corrupted and I had to wait another day before trying again. I don't think I ever even looked at the book itself, I only wanted it for its CD!

    There was no internet at my school or college, so my first experience of browsing a website via the internet was actually through work at an event where they were demonstrating the potential future of the industry.

    The main barrier to using the internet in the late 90's (in the UK at least) was the tying up the phone line in a time before most people had mobile phones. I ended up getting a second phone line installed in my parents house purely for my personal internet use (Demon as the ISP, remember them?), I remember my dad going ballistic when he saw the first quarterly bill - even though I was paying for it all, he couldn't comprehend how I was spending over £70/month on something he just saw as a waste of time.

    Pre-internet I was dialing up "local" Commodore 64 BBS'es and tying up my parents phone line, so they got me my own line. Then I discovered telephone "phreaking" and next thing you know I was dialing up European and US cracking teams sites and downloading "importing" games and software in Canada. This was all when I was between 12-15.

  • While I was working as a sysadmin at the university, our uplink to JANET was upgraded from 2mbps for the entire university to 10mbps. That was a pretty big deal at the time!

    Bringing it back to data storage, its also interesting at the time that I think the biggest drives we had were 1GB (maybe a couple of 2GB ones) and most of them were 500MB full height 5.25" monsters. I remember at the time the image processing group needed 10GB temporarily for some project, and we managed to cobble together that much storage with a massive stack of 500MB drives, all shared to that machine via NFS.

    I keep wanting to not send this, as these numbers seem almost unimaginably small now and it feels like I've made a mistake, but I'm sure they're right.
