Anybody know a good *automated* way to take a bunch of audio files with semicolon delimiters and properly splitting the tags in a way that's compatible with picard / jellyfin? #linux #music #datahoard

I’ve been thinking lately (always a mistake) about all the cultural works to which we don't have access. Everything removed from streaming; everything locked behind DRM so that most libraries and archives won't have copies which can redundantly survive disruption. Sometimes I get real sad about the future readers and historians and others who just won't be able to find copies of the incredible things made during the current digital dark age.

As ever, I try to let this radicalize me rather than lead me into despair. I know that there are lots of horrors worth raging against, but this is one I feel well-positioned to work against. It's low-stakes enough that I won't feel self-loathing if I burn out or need to take a break. It's no secret that I like to read and organize books so this is a topic close to my heart and one which can bring me joy and allow me to share it with those around me too. There is a fair bit of tech nerd stuff to it, enough that I have an opportunity to learn & practice new things, but not so much that I’m totally out of my depth. And there are plenty of communities out there to help and share strategies.

But the big thing I see missing from my understanding and many of the conversations about shadow libraries and unauthorized archivism is the social and professional practice of librarianship rather than mechanical practice of data storage. I don't have space to go to library school, but I could definitely stand to read (and archive) introductory books on the topic, or take an online class. Friends who know: what are some of the better places to get started with an introduction to library & information science and archive science?

Apparently I just noticed I am storing over 55.5 TERABYTES of data on my server.

My server's 89% Full in one year and 10 months.

How did I get here again? 😂

#datahoard #selfhosting #server

Anyone know of a good HDD that's not too expensive that could be used for archiving some data?

I only need 1TB, but probs gonna buy 2 or 3 to backup the data again.

@[email protected] Let's go! #DataHoard all the things!

My home automation is now generating so much data, I had to switch from S0 to S1 tier on Azure SQL. 😉 #data #datahoard #azure #azuresql

I have a NAS that I use to backup my devices. Now I want to periodically backup that NAS to some cloud storage.

There would be many uploads and very rarely (hopefully never) downloads. So uploads and storage should be cheap, but it's OK if downloads are expensive.

What software and host/cloud providers do you folks recommend? I want to encrypt the data before uploading.

Then we will quickly learn which people were prudent enough to keep backups, and which were not.
