Hey fellow gooners, tell me about your setup. How much of this content have you got stored? How do you sort it? Where have you mostly got it from? When did you start collecting? How do you manage de-duplicating and preserving the original quality file? I have a Proxmox host running Cockpit (45Drives) for a SMB share, Jellyfin and Tailscale for remote access.
Nigga has almost 8tb of porn with remote access.
>>83472 I keep them saved on random laptop hard drives I have lying around, I've lost maybe 2 stashes before so i'm not really tied to them, if they last they last if they go corrupt i'll just start again. At a certain point you just begin to refine the few models you really want, and then just leave other stuff on sites to watch
>>83472 Yo, I can give you boberrys new weigh in or whatever your interested in. Although you have an ungodly amount of stuff lol. But any chance you would upload your Jodie Elizabeth stuff?
>>83472 Never imagined there were levels to ts. I have vids that take around 100 Gb space and I tend to delete older stuff as it eventually gets boring. I usually find videos on www.leakedzone.com
>>83472 >How do you manage de-duplicating and preserving the original quality file? I'd really like to know more about this, because i'm more of a hoarder. >>83481 10TB are about 1 grocery haul.
>>83472 Re: deduplication. Have you tried WizTree Diskanalyzer? VERY handy for me on my desktop, don’t know how it would scale to such a large storage system but given how fast and efficient it is on my 1 TB drive it’s worth a go. I know StufferDB used their huge collection for training AI and providing that to users to try. But to my knowledge, I think that’s kind of a scattergun approach. Like “just dump it all in and see what comes out”. Would you consider running all your data you’ve collected through an embedding model? You must have a lot of weigh-in content collected, as well as date/time stamped video and image content - you could probably have a good shot at building something which, given a picture of a model, could estimate her height/weight to some degree of accuracy. Could be useful for gauging the accuracy of models’ self-reporting of their weight.
>>83472 I currently have 8TB of adult content featuring plus-size women, distributed across 396 MEGA accounts, cataloged by person. To help me with this, I developed a system that helps me locate, share, and manage these 396 accounts as if they were a single system, even though in practice they are not. Regarding duplicates (which occasionally appear), I use a basic filename and size check based on the person the file is associated with. It has proven efficient so far, and with ZERO storage costs.
>>83600 If I had 8TB of data, the last place I'd have it would be on an online hosting site that can delete it all at will. Granted 8TB of physical storage is a month's salary down there. But at least I won't have any company in possession of MY content.
I use a two-bay server from Synology. I sort stuff based artist/model, it’s easy to start the habit when you create a folder system. Sorting through an assortment of stuff is hell. For models I would buy videos that wasn’t available for free. For artists I would use gallery-dl to scrap drawings from whatever website they use that I can easily access; I would also manually download stuff from kemono, fanbox, or Patreon. Honestly, if it weren’t for gallery-dl, I’d be more sluggish in archiving artists’ stuff. I began to archive stuff back in 2015. All I had was my 16GB iPad mini and 15GB of free Google Drive storage. It wasn’t much but I did what I could. In 2021 I was making enough money to set up my own media server.
>>83472 Can you share what you have of curvagecasey?
>>83472 Offline NAS with my main being an external. Got lucky and bought some new harddrives of 12tb+ back in 2023 before the shortage started creeping. Granted my total BBW folder is nowhere near as big as your. >>83513 better to be a digital hoarder then a physical hoarder tbh.
>>83685 I've got a relatively old scrape of caseystreams of and some misc videos. She wasn't really a favorite. Will upload when I get a chance.
>>83616 Honestly, being here on the chan and downloading leaked content from the chan, why on earth would I spend money on storage? If I were going to spend any money on that, maybe I'd spend it on one of the models. As for the survival of the material, after an incident I had with the content of a certain obese woman who likes mythology, I learned not to share content directly from those accounts/keep the link active indefinitely. I don't care that the company has access to this material, the most they know about me is my ISP's IP (the wonders that CGNAT provides), since the emails used are not from any online provider.
>>83840 >>why on earth would I spend money on storage? If I were going to spend any money on that, maybe I'd spend it on one of the models. I can buy 2 4TB WD drives for under $200. Try to feed a fatty for that amount nowadays. Also that's on your for your little incident, not the storage method. I find it funny how much people bitch and moan about not owning their music or movies anymore but are willing to daisy chain freemium drives to avoid paying for actual storage.
Around 3.5TB of stuff on 2 flash drives. I travel a lot for work and this way they’re portable and I can use them on my phone. Also if someone has to use my laptop they’re not gonna find anything I don’t want to share. I’d love to get everything on one drive just for convenience but I haven’t seen one that size, and anyway thanks to the AI cabal flash memory has gone through the roof so a 4TB drive would probably be $1k at this point. One issue in terms of capacity is that I’ve been fixing favorite low-quality videos with an enhancer so 2mb files wind up 100mb. On the other hand a lot of stuff is way too hi-rez for my purposes and I could lower it, but there are only so many hours in a day lol. Most of my stuff is organized by model and a miscellaneous folder of random stuff going back 15 years with over 1k files. I also have a folder of several hundred files that I grabbed on the fly and haven’t gotten around to organizing.
I have about 5.5 TB on my main folder, and 1.5 TB on a secondary drive. Some of that 5.5 TB is symlinked to the secondary drive because I was running low on storage. It's sorted into folders for gallery-dl, videos, pictures, forum threads downloaded with DownThemAll, stories, audio, SWFs, etc. I have gallery-dl set as a scheduled task to run daily, to make sure I don't miss anything. Before gallery-dl, I was manually running RipMe on galleries. Now I don't have to worry about missing a day and having an artist disappear before the next time I check. I've had to prune my collection because I don't have enough storage space for it all. Now, I focus more on the best content instead of trying to archive everything I encounter.
I have a 480gb SSD with 156gb of free space. I dont see a reasoning to hoard porn that I will never watch more than once or setup a dedicated NAS. Also I regularly delete content that I get bored with to make room for new stuff. Also anything past 1080p is a waste of space imo. 720p is the sweet spot for saving space and not looking like a blurry mess.
