I have an Orico 9958C3 with hard drives (WD Red and Iron Wolf drives) formated and showing in Windows Disk Manager (NTFS). However, they do not show in Orico's proprietary Raid Manager software. I have reformated drives, changed slots, restarted, etc. Any advice on how to setup Raid 5?

Does anyone have a good grasp or understanding from experience if hiding usb drives (or things in general) in plain sight is more effective than concealing from sight?

I have important data id like to keep backed up, but mobile and offline. I don't care if the data got destroyed over time or corrupted but I want to keep it safe from prying eyes.(i have backups i just need this data offline and portable for my own convenience)

I'm also somewhat new to using bitlocker encryption and it's easy to use but I do find myself wondering how hackable it is if at all (for the common attacker on a common person like myself). is it even worth it to buy a dedicated disguised cheap usb(pen style, throw it in my massive pen collection in office? Or can I just write the data to 1 or 2 of my old usb drives? I guess my concern is if an attacker came though my home they'd check for things that might be valuable like my safe, and obvious data storages/certain paperworks. But again would that even matter if 99.9% of attackers can't fathom breaking a bitlocker encryption?

Thanks for any input

Is there a way to tell Ripme to download only images from a URL that contains both images and videos? And can I set a minimum resolution for dowloaded images? I am new to all this. There doesn't seem to be a setting, Can this be done vie a config file?

I want to start a personal project where I scan, OCR and index markdown for old books. This is a book with ALL of Romania's roads back in 1974. It has tables and maps and all sorts of other interesting historical data points.

I already have some idea of data engineering. I'm a software engineer and I've made a project that helps with RAG, search and indexing of markdown files (even very big ones). My problem is the OCR part. Any tips?

Hi all,

There are a wide number of sites which offer paid access to film references, including:

• Shotdeck
• Film Grab
• Eyecandy
• Filmboard
• Shot Cafe
• Frame Set
• Screenmusings

They are paid archives, rather than being true data hoarding / open access.

Is there a centralised resource for this form of data hoarding, does anyone know? A group project?

Hi All

First off,

​

Thank you for all the support while I've been building out https://pricepergig.com/ (it will be the best place to find digital storage on the internet, and is right now for Amazon imo, but I would say that right :) )

If you were to sign up for price alerts (e.g. the cheapest HDD, or the cheapest NVMe price per TB for example) or in the future alerts for your saved searches HOW would you like to be alerted?

If you could also let me know your country that would help me understand, perhaps it's different in different locations.

Backstory, you don't need to read this!

Many people asked for 'alerts', and I assumed email would be ok/good/great, perhaps I was wrong, not so many people have signed up, it could well be just the form looks scary, perhaps I need to point it out more, I can work on that, or email isn't the thing you guys wanted (I know I have plenty of emails I don't look at). So, let's find out.

Today PricePerGig 'only' does Amazon, but I will be adding other marketplaces once we've figured out the base feature set, so please do participate assuming your large marketplace is also in here.

Thanks

Hello fellow Data Hoarders!

I've been eagerly awaiting Gitea's PR 20311 for over a year, but since it keeps getting pushed out for every release I figured I'd create something in the meantime.

This tool sets up and manages pull mirrors from GitHub repositories to Gitea repositories, including the entire codebase, issues, PRs, releases, and wikis.

It includes a nice web UI with scheduling functions, metadata mirroring, safety features to not overwrite or delete existing repos, and much more.

Take a look, and let me know what you think!

Looking for a new solution to backup my raw photos that are currently about 5 TB and have a few questions:

1. Should I use 2 separate external HDDs and sync them from time to time or is 1 enclosure with 2 mirrored HDDs better? I am leaning towards 2 separate ones as it appears to be more redundant.
2. If I get 2 separate HDDs should I buy 2 different brands or is it safe enough to buy 2 of the same model?
3. Anyone here who could share their experience with the G-Drive Project 12 TB?
4. Any other suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

There was someone trying to dedupe 1 million videos which got me interested in the project again. I made a bunch of improvements to the video part as a result, though there is still a lot left to do. The video search is much faster, has a tunable speed/accuracy parameter (-i.vradix) and now also supports much longer videos which was limited to 65k frames previously.

To help index all those videos (not giving up on decoding every single frame yet ;-), hardware decoding is improved and exposes most of the capabilities in ffmpeg (nvdec,vulkan,quicksync,vaapi,d3d11va...) so it should be possible to find something that works for most gpus and not just Nvidia. I've only been able to test on nvidia and quicksync however so ymmv.

New binary release and info here

If you want the best performance I recommend using a Linux system and compiling from source. The codegen for binary release does not include AVX instructions which may be helpful.

Forgive me for my ignorance on this, as I'm still pretty inexperienced with this, but is there a group or a project that makes data available from various sources, such as Kiwix for downloading Wikipedia? I figure the last 2 months have been a real wake up call and I have since downloaded the .wix for Wiki, but wonder if there is something similar that crawls .gov sites or .uni/.edu sites for archiving purposes and packaged for easy distribution/downloading?

Keep in mind, I have no idea how much effort goes into projects like that, and I can definitely appreciate it now that we have seen what happens when we take something for granted.

Just a thought that crossed my mind this morning and I wanted to post it before I forgot.

I'm trying to pull some videos and haven't found any add-on or app that can do it from Podia.com (an online course platform).

Thanks in advance for any thoughts.
