Data Hoarder
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
A variety of things: Books, movies, music, scientific journal publications, Slackware's "current" branch with all past packages since 2009 (only half a TB though), All Slackbuild sources, an almost-complete crawl of CentOS 6 packages, large language models and datasets (almost 8TB now), an old TankNet archive, a few wikipedia dumps about two years apart, chat logs, archived email, a lot of smaller archives of niche interests .. it's something of a mess.
what are you, mike pence?
it's clearly porn
Those high quality 4k Remux DV HDR TrueHD-Atmos Linux isos ofcourse, gotta make sure we don't lose old Linux ISO's in a good release
“ISOs”
20TB of movies, most 1080p x265, about 300 of the ones I deem real "cinema movies" or 4K HDR
30GB of Series, most 1080p x265. The very best series also 4K
10TB of personal documents and pictures
5TB of software and games
1TB of porn
5TB of copies, copies of copies, to sort, backups and stuff 🤣
Not porn
Copies of websites that I find particularly interesting or enjoyable (Anders' Mage Page, ancientfiles.dumpshock.com). Source code that's gotten scarce or might in the future (e.g., yt-dlp, Ultrix V4.2 for VAXen) or is just interesting (Apple Lisa ROMs). Dumps of some Yahoo Groups I used to be on back in the day. News footage that tends to be difficult to find or might not get aired. A couple of text file CD-ROMs that I never managed to get hold of back in the day (e.g., Blackphiles Collection). Data dumps from some services I used to use (Twitter, Librarything). Datasets that I mess around with (Stop the Steal leak, covid-19 data). Stuff that just strikes me as odd or interesting (titor-special_torrent/).
