Spoke with Toshiba technical support recently
Apparently a BIG shipment of 24TB Toshiba enterprise drives were stolen??? and so there's a 1yr lead time on those drives???
I can only blame AI tbh.

Anybody has been using #Mdisc or other optical digital media for archiving important data? What's your experience? DVD or BR? What hardware to burn? Software?

Archive.Today starting to use Google's QR-based reCaptcha
#recaptcha #degoogle #datahoarder
The site has a few variant domains, unsure why, and archive.md, the one I'd been using, threw the QR reCaptcha just now, as per the attached image, while archive.today directly threw the good ol' "try to verify a dozen times" version.
The recaptcha may appear even when the user is not using a VPN if it grows suspicious, meaning the site may soon be inaccessible without bending to Google.

"Wonder Boy: The Dragon's Trap" on EGS appears to have a Master System ROM
In other versions of the game, such as GOG and Steam's, it has a file called "wb3.sms" in the folder bin_pc/rom/, the file being a working #MasterSystem #ROM.
Being a #datahoarder, I was looking for the info. Since SteamDB has Depot pages which list the files of a given build, and remembering that egdata.app has a similar general scope as SteamDB, I went to check if it listed files, as I don't have the game there, and I did find something:
https://egdata.app/builds/69e47ae7af8950ed36e1d142/files
Besides listing a file with the same name in the same path, the SHA-1 hash for "bin_pc/rom/wb3.sms" as given by egdata.app, and as shown in the attached image, is also the same as GOG's, which I have so I could compare, meaning the file in EGS's build is most likely a working ROM too.
For people that like to collect and/or support games that come with ROMs officially, another one to keep on the radar, if you don't have it already. =D

And so commence the final surgeries. 16tb (2x8tb) to be transplanted from the Win beast to the new 4-bay #Orico media center unit. Once upon a time this was SO much storage space in a single drive. Now I feel like I’m going to be eating dinner from a kiddie bowl from IKEA.
Following this I will transplant the #RTX3080 and motherboard/CPU/RAM to a smaller case and that will become the new game room PC. 64gb, 16 CPU cores. Christ how the mighty have fallen. #windows #datahoarder #pc #hdd #nvidia

I've been reading that there are rumors that hard drives and USB flash drives might become obsolete due to a supposed shift toward the cloud storage.
I don't think that may be a good idea. So much to say about that stupidity. -

https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1rk5bvv/seagate_begins_shipping_44tb_hard_drives_with/ Die #Festplatten werden immer noch größer, zwar langsamer als früher, aber die Obergrenze ist noch nicht erreicht. Bis 44TB im heimischen #NAS landen wird’s mindestens 2028 vermutlich gibt’s die nicht vor 2029 und dann werden die sicher unverschämt teuer sein. Aber für #DataHoarder mit #TorrentSyndrom sind solche Platten der Stoff aus dem die Träume sind.

After stepping back for a couple of years, my #datahoarding is back with a vengeance and I spent most of last night studying #yt-dlp's man page and updating my configuration 🤓

I finally defeated the final boss of my backup migration to Proton Drive.
For months, I have been trying to sync my 500GB media library (around 80k files) to Proton Drive. Every single time, the sync crashed with the exact same error: "1 item failed to backup." The only clue I had was a blurry thumbnail named "Asset 1". No date, no metadata, no search tags.
I was so frustrated that I even asked Proton support to completely wipe my encrypted volume so I could start from scratch. The result was exactly the same.
Finding this file became a manual protocol. I spent months periodically scanning through thousands of files just looking for a visual match to that tiny thumbnail. I finally found it today. It was an old scan from 2017. It was completely frozen - uneditable, unindexed, and gave an error when I tried to export it from my phone.
I managed to track it down via macOS. When I forced an export there, the truth came out: it was not an image at all. It was a .pdf file somehow saved into the photo gallery, and it was silently breaking the entire upload queue.
Removing it fixed everything. The sync is finally 100% complete. The relief of finally closing this mental background process is unmatched.

Does anyone else remember Tux Racer, the old #Linux racing game from way back? Does anyone else also remember tuxracer.fubaby.com, where people would share their courses? Any way to download all the courses again? Sorry, but I want to upload all of them on the Internet Archive. I could only retrieve some of them from the Wayback Machine.

Guys, get out your Internet Archive accounts. A video game repository called Myrient is closing down tomorrow, and a staggering 390+ terabytes of data will disappear with it. I am currently saving webpages at /Eggman's Arcade Repository/!EXTRAS/. Unfortunately, nearly all the saves are 404 errors, even though the files can still be downloaded directly from the site, so we may need to upload them.
