Do you guys store an archive of some sorts?

I downloaded all my music in lossless so I guess so.

1.3T of tv, movies and anime, 700G of music, 400G of video games and 200G of various software packages. i should really make some backups. I mentioned before that everything is sorted in the tree, with the top hierarchies being vf, af, vg, dist, img, doc (for books and papers), vi (for visual media) and xdoc (for hypertext).

Now how much pron? Be honest.

porn is under vi/manga/e and 5G in total, although there is full frontal nudity in vf/tv/monty_python/flying_circus/1/08.avi. any erotic games at vg/e take up 33G of space.

Some books I've accumulated since childhood, many stolen on accident. Gonna learn file cabinets as I get better at writing and art.

I used to but got stuck in a weird curation loop (especially with porn):
download terabytes of shit > sort through it > put stuff I like/looked at in separate folders > stuff I like folders get to big so sort into favorite folders > favorite folders too big sort into even more favorite folders > etc.
If you have too much shit then you might as well not even have it, there's no point in having an entire SSD of music and movies I'll never even get to within my life because I just wanna listen to the same 300 albums over and over. I realized I was wasting hours and hours of time sorting through random files I barely even remember having; now if I don't consciously think of it I don't even bother.

I am magacel. i keep my own archive of my every post in a google doc because they always get deleted from here. This helps me perfect my bait; each time it is deleted I perfect my bait further.

you need to git gud at file organization. i only have three folders of unsorted shit and even though i know barely know any of the 101 artists in af/core/break, when i want to discover new ones, i import all of it into my music player and shuffle. less internet-centric genres are curated better, because searching for them took me more effort. for porn i recommend you generate thumbnails for each object of interest and find a way to cycle through them quickly. curating in advance to consume later is a major waste of time, you're better off discovering things and curating those you want to keep around.

People who archive are losers who are perpetually stuck in the past. I Marie Kondo my hard drive maybe once a month.

Enjoy spending more than 3 seconds finding things.

let me guess, find -name is too hard for you

>>43869
let me guess, data structures 101 was too hard for you

i really hope you're joking for banter and not actually stupid enough to think filenames or folders are an appropriate system. there are extremely obvious issues.

>>43871
the filesystem as an interface is adequate, but implementation via inodes leaves a lot to be desired. it's a data structure issue, as you noted. my current solution is to keep individual directories small and sort files into deep topical trees, like a semantic version of qmail's split directories.
