I basically need/want to compile or make a list if all the things in all my directories... just in case... and if I'm ever having to check if I have something already.

So what do you all use to make a master list of stuff you have?

I presume there's software that will read and just give me a print out?

There are two scenarios I am interested in

1. The means to read the data is magically preserved over the 10,000 years, so only the storage medium must last the duration.

2. The means to read must be preserved through conventional means alongside the data.

As some of you may know, Pocket is shutting down and deleting all user data on October 2025: https://getpocket.com/farewell

However what you may not know is they don't provide any way to export your bookmark tags or the article text archived using their Permanent Library feature that premium users paid for.

In many cases the original URLs have long since gone down and the only remaining copy of these articles is the text that Pocket saved.

Out of frustration with their useless developer API and CSV exports I reverse engineered their web app APIs and built a mini tool to help extract all data properly, check it out: https://pocket.archivebox.io/

The hosted version has a $8 one-time fee because it took me a lot of work to build this and it can take a few hours to run on my server due to needing to work around Pocket ratelimits, but it's completely open source if you want to run it for free: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/pocket-exporter (MIT License)

There are also other tools floating around Github that can help you export just the bookmark URL list, but whatever you end up using, just make sure you export the data you care about before October!

There are many posts about these Seagate Expansion Desktop Drive's having Barracudas inside, and the datasheet tells us a quite low number regarding "power on hours per year": https://www.seagate.com/content/dam/seagate/en/content-fragments/products/datasheets/barracuda-3-5-hdd/barracuda-3-5-hddDS2131-3-US2411-en_US.pdf

I'm considering to buy the 24TB model, and use it as a genuine external drive, no plans for shucking. That will be ST24000DM001 I guess.

Now about the 2400 hours / 100 days... I honestly dunno. Likely the HDD won't be up and running for 2400 hours, but I'm more worried about why this limitation exists in the first place.

Are Barracudas just low quality drives, and therefore better to avoid them? I'd pay then more for a WD external, but would like to understand what's going on here.

There are some old series I used to watch, that have been taken down, and the only choice now is to get them on Amazon Video. They're not even on Amazon Prime Video. All the torrents are dead since long, and I can't find it anywhere else.

Can I somehow extract them from Amazon Video, or do I have to go on a hunt for someone who has a physical copy (which is rare)?

Not sure if this is /damnthatsinteresting or /datahorder, because I fear for those that take it upon themselves to archive this. 20TB every 24 hours, for the next decade.

From the article: "Rubin will generate a whopping 20 terabytes of data every 24 hours. The latest iPhone holds up to one terabyte of data."

I recently bought my first pair of 12TB HDDs (WD Red Plus) for my home server, and while I was researching what drives to buy I noticed that consistently every recommendation for quieter drives topped out around 12TB or 14TB regardless of brand.

Is there a reason for that? Is there some technical boundary around that point of data, or is it more economic like larger drives are geared towards the enterprise market where noise isn't as much of a concern?

Otherwise it seems unclear to me why, for example, a 7200RPM 14TB WD Red Plus could be relatively quiet but bumping that to a 16TB WD Red Pro at the same RPM sees the volume become much more pronounced.

Does anyone have a working mirror or any more information regarding libgen.

The website that tracks all the mirrors looks like its reporting that they're all down. I wonder if anyone knows more about this or what triggered it. I thought sci-hub was able to stay up because the servers are in Russia, and I thought it was also the case for libgen.

Do you guys think it will be a waiting game until its back up like with most piracy sites? Or does anyone know of any other explanations or legislative actions.

So you all probably already know that youtube around 2 years ago now introduced 1080p 24/30 fps premium formats, those where encoded in vp9 and usually 10 to 15% higher in bitrate then avc1/h264 encodes, which where previous highest bitrate encodes.

Now youtube is introducing 1080p 50/60fps premium formats that where encoded in av1 and most of the times not even higher then regular h264/avc1, though hard to comform exactly by how much due to format still being in A/B test meaning only some accounts see it and have access to it, and even those accounts that have it need premium cus ios client way to download premium formats doesn't work when passing coockies (i explain this beforehand in details in multiple times on youtubedl sub) , making avc1/h264 encodes very often better looking then premium formats

Now youtube is even switching to av1 for 1080p 24/30fps videos proof

And they're literally encoding them like 20% less then vp9, and it's noticeably worse looking then vp9 1080p premium, which they will probably (most likely) phase out soon again making h264/avc1 encodes the better looking even then premium ones

Also they disabled premium formats for android mobile for me at least for last 2 days

Then they're now encoding 4k videos in some abysmally low bitrates like 8000kpbs for av1 when vp9 gets 14000 kpbs, and they almost look too soft imo especially when watching on tv

Newly introduced YouTube live streams in av1 look fine ish at least for now in 1440p but when it comes to 1080p its a soft fest, literally avc1 live encodes from 3 years ago looked better imo, though vp9 1080p live encodes don't look much better eather, and also funnly enough av1 encodes dissappear form live streams after the streams is over, like no way that cost effective for yt

Then youtubes reencoding of already encoded vp9 and avc1 codecs are horrible, when av1 encode comes, they reencode avc1 and vp9 and make it look worse, sometimes even when bitrate isn't dropped by much they still loose details somehow thread talking about this

And to top it off they still don't encode premium formats for all videos, meaning even if i pay for premium i still need to watch most videos in absolutely crap quality, but they will encode every 4k video in 4k always and in much higher bitrate then these 1080p premium formats, meaning they're encouraging that users upscale their video to be encoded in evem nearly decent quality wasting resources and bitrates and bandwidth just cus they don't wanna offer even remotely decent bitrates to 1080p content even with premium

I tested this so many times:

A UHD (aka 4K, but UHD is the correct term) gets released. I download it and get let's say a 18k bitrate vp9 video.

I then download the video about a day later, get supposedly the exact same version, but the bitrate is at 25k now. At first I thought they replace the OG vp9 version with a better one. I then compared the quality many times and always got the same shocking result: OG version is better.

YouTube replaces the best version you can get (av1 is more efficient, but quality is about the same as vp9 version 2) with a file that's up to 30% bigger, yet has 10% worse quality.

How can we get them to fix this? Why are they doing this?

I recently bought a Transcend ESD310S 1TB portable SSD. It’s small, has a metal body, and includes both USB-A and USB-C connectors — it really resembles a normal USB flash drive.

This reminded me of something I used to do for years: I had a 256GB metal USB 3.1 flash drive from Apacer that I attached to my motorbike keychain. I carried it everywhere — commuting, going to school, work, road trips, even over bumpy roads. It handled daily vibration, stayed in my jeans pocket, was tossed onto beds (not hard surfaces), and even occasionally got slightly wet when I forgot to remove it before driving in the rain.

Despite all of that, it kept working perfectly. I never had any issues with it.

Now with this new portable SSD (Transcend ESD310S), I’ve copied a lot of data from both my laptop and my iPhone. I frequently access the data — it’s not just passive storage. I plug it into different devices regularly.

Naturally, I’d love the convenience of attaching it to my keychain like I did before, but I’m wondering if doing so — with the daily vibration from motorbike riding, regular handling, and occasional soft impacts — would eventually damage the SSD, or if this USB-style portable SSD are generally as durable as rugged flash drives.

I’d appreciate any input from people who’ve tried something similar — or know more about how durable these kinds of SSDs really are in the long term. Thanks!
