I read a old comment that most of us arnt truly about preservation and basically were just a bunch of 🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️. Not gonna lie that's how I originally started. But then the whole cartoon streaming service purge happened, music on my lists vanished, I've even grabbed YouTube videos hours before getting taken down (think it was ironically a "take down with chris hansen") and I became paranoid. Now I dedicate most of my hoarding to shows ill probably never watch. Tons of toddler shows. Trash tv on the list. Really shitty first time YouTube videos of popular YouTubers. How about yall? Do you hoard strictly what you like and watch? Or do you hoard

On April 9, I randomly decided to archive a YouTube channel I hadn’t watched or interacted with in almost 3 years. I used to love that channel, and out of nowhere, I just felt like backing it up. No idea why. I just had a few TB free, so I figured why not put them to use.

It was my first time doing something like this. I looked up how to do it, found yt-dlp, threw together a command, and it worked perfectly. For a few days, I was downloading around 30 to 40 videos a day, slowly but surely working through the backlog.

Then today, I ran the script again… and it failed. Said the playlist didn’t exist.

So I checked YouTube, and just like that, the whole channe

I built GhostHub as a lightweight way to stream and share media straight from your file system. No library setup, no accounts, no cloud.

It runs a local server that gives you a clean mobile-friendly UI for browsing and watching videos or images. You can share access through Cloudflare Tunnel with one prompt, and toggle host sync so others see exactly what you’re seeing. There’s also a built-in chat window that floats on screen, collapses when not needed, and doesn’t interrupt playback.

You don’t need to upload anything or create a user account. Just pick a folder and go.

It works as a standalone exe, a Python script, or a Docker container. I built it

I got into data hoarding a few months ago for... reasons (🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️🏴‍☠️). Since then, I've been slowly building my collection, I have 16TB in total and only plan to increase this. Today, I downloaded my music with yt-dlp, and was just playing it locally. It felt so much better, so much quicker - Not having to wait for the pages and videos to load, being able to use the UI of my choice, knowing that the media is right here and that no third party can shut down a server, or take down a video, and that be the end of it. I'm honestly really grateful I got into this, it feels amazing to physically OWN my media

I am talking about that folder that has a load of saved memes, random wallpapers, images saved from Twitter and Facebook. Artwork saved from DeviantArt and ArtStation before the artist deleted their account to prevent their artwork being used in an AI dataset? Or at least that's where you think the artwork came from, as you wanted to set the artwork as your wallpaper...

... Only to find it came from a random site. I'm sure behind the amazing home lab setups, clean cables, fancy self-hosted open source software, network diagrams. Everyone here must have a hard drive or folder that has a load of files and folders on it that you simply do not know how

In recent light of Synology forcing users to use their own (overpriced) HDDs, I have been considering moving to a QNAP, but then learned that QNAPs die suddenly without notice. I've heard great things about ugreen, but they are a chinese company (privacy and security issues with backdoors), and specializes in cables, not storage or networking devices. buffalo NASes come with drives, but the storage advertised is the total storage of ALL the drives in the system, not the usable storage space. A lot of buffalo NASes can't even be opened without voiding warranty.

any nas company that doesn't suck? I've heard of Asustor but haven't looked into them enough to know.

I own 2x DS3617xs, a 1821+ and 1521+ and am fed up with Synology's continued push away from consumers.

Saw this today and am considering preordering one of them. Many will consider it too expensive, though I'd rather spend my time working on other creative tasks outside of piecing together yet another computer.

Hey folks,

I recently built a tool to download and archive Telegram channels. The goal was simple: I wanted a way to bulk download media (videos, photos, docs, audio, stickers) from multiple channels and save everything locally in an organized way.

Since I originally built this for myself, I thought—why not release it publicly? Others might find it handy too.

It supports exporting entire channels into clean, browsable HTML files. You can filter by media type, and the downloads happen in parallel to save time.

It’s a standalone Windows app, built using Python (Flet for the UI, Telethon for Telegram API). Works without installing anything complicated—just laun

From someone who works at the National Park Service/Department of Interior in DC, posted this on Facebook:

Friends and neighbors, sadly the National Park Service is having to consolidate their library collections in HQ and are giving books and journals away. They are offering them to DOI employees, but we can't save all of them. Would anyone here 1) help identify organizations that could take what is left 2) help me transport them out of DC tomorrow? History, historic preservation, science, architecture, archaeology, etc Example included here.

I thought ya'll would be the best folks to help - or let those in DC know!

I was stupid enough to not make a backup because "I just bought the drive, it can't die on me this quickly, I'll do it in a couple of months when I have more data!!". So I moved a bunch of movies and tv shows I had saved over the years into it.

Well, it died within the first THREE HOURS. I'll let this be a lesson and move on with tears in my eyes. I can't even get angry because this is purely on me (and WD tbh, like what do you mean you're giving up on me this soon).
