I need to make a deep clean in my screenshot folder because it has 8GB and a lot of these are duplicate pictures, but I don't even know how to start

[naturally-dazed]

WE'RE SO BACK I DIDNT LOSE THE LEGACY SAVE

moved saves+tray files+mods from my laptops hdd to the new pc and everything seems to work well (so far), only issue i have now is needing to reorganize all my cc so there's no duplicates with the new mods folder lmao

[netscapenavigator-official]

I just used my iMac’s Time Machine backup drive to retrieve an old file I deleted, and while scrolling, I realized… I got this 8 TB HDD in December 2023 (because that’s the oldest backup I have).

Right now, I have about 2.4 TB used, which means my entire computer’s 2024 was archived in about 2 TB. Based on that usage pattern*, this HDD will hold FOUR years of computer backups before it starts deleting the oldest ones. That so fucking overkill for an iMac I casually use as a home media server. 😭

And to think, the Christmas I bought this, Amazon had the prices wrong for the 16 TB drives, and they were only a few tens of dollars more expensive than the 8 TB ones, so I almost bought a 16 TB drive. If I hadn’t procrastinated buying the thing until the prices changed, I very much would’ve ended up with an HDD which would’ve held EIGHT YEARS of whole-computer backups.

Like, I don’t even remember the files I was messing with eight years ago, let alone want to retrieve one I deleted. That 16 TB drive would’ve kept this iMac backed up for longer than Apple probably plans on keeping it supported on macOS. Like, that would’ve been so overkill.

*Oh, and my “usage pattern” is actually quite pessimistic. MacOS Time Machine uses the incremental backup method, which means it takes a big fat system backup when you first set it up, and then it slowly adds files as you add and move them around your system. There are no duplicates, so the initial backup is big, and each preceding one is much smaller which means… that 2 TB wasn’t used linearly. This 8 TB HDD will probably hold more than four years worth of data. Wtf do I even need this for?? 😭

@unidentifiedfuckingthing Absolutely and co-signed. I've got most of what's on my server duplicated on my desktop, but not all of it because I need more disk space. I do have my music collection backed up in three places though. I'd love to have two copies of all my data but I've just got too much stuff. I'd need to buy like two 20TB HDDs for my desktop.

Also a cool thing if you're using ZFS on your server. If you have a second array (say you bought a second enclosure with as many HDDs of the same size as your first), you can export the entire pool with the "zfs send" and "zfs recv" commands.

[onthegreatsea]

its taken forever but i managed to get windows 98 installed and working! Mobo and GPU are doing great. remembered i had parts of a broken mouse somewhere and managed to sorta fix it well enough that its useable. also absolutely no way to control GPU fan speed and it was sooooooo loud... so i just went old school and used a resistor to limit the voltage lol

annoyingly i couldnt get 98 to install on my SSD so i had to find a HDD. hopefully i can just duplicate the drive later tho

[postapocalypticcottagecore]

Woreth noting that external storage is also an option, and potentially a cheaper one, but it still has its drawbacks. A 1TB MicroSD card is much cheaper than an equivalent SSD if you can filter out the fake or just defective ones cluttering up the market, but it'll have a much shorter working life and will load much slower so it's not ideal for storing applications. External HDDs are also an option, and unlike SSDs they take literal decades to wear out with proper care, but they're even slower and often require a powered USB hub.

My current portable setup uses a mix: My tablet's internal drive contains the OS and apps, a 512GB MicroSD contains all my music, ebooks and various story WIPs and I have a 2TB external hard drive for various DVD rips and downloaded videos. I also have cloud backups, and this arrangement is duplicated for my desktop PC: OS and games on the SSD, music, videos etc on an HDD and everything's backed up to an external HDD and the cloud.

I would like to address something that has come up several times since I relaunched my computer recommendation blog two weeks ago. Part of the reason that I started @okay-computer and that I continue to host my computer-buying-guide is that it is part of my job to buy computers every day.

I am extremely conversant with pricing trends and specification norms for computers, because literally I quoted seven different laptops with different specs at different price-points *today* and I will do more of the same on Monday.

Now, I am holding your face in my hands. I am breathing in sync with you. We are communicating. We are on the same page. Listen.

Computer manufacturers don't expect users to store things locally so it is no longer standard to get a terabyte of storage in a regular desktop or laptop. You're lucky if you can find one with a 512gb ssd that doesn't have an obnoxious markup because of it.

If you think that the norm is for computers to come with 1tb of storage as a matter of course, you are seeing things from a narrow perspective that is out of step with most of the hardware out there.

I went from a standard expectation of a 1tb hdd five years ago to expecting to get a computer with a 1tb hdd that we would pull and replace with a 1tb ssd to expecting to get a computer that came with a 256gb ssd that we would pull and replace with a 1tb ssd, to just having the 256gb ssd come standard and and only seeking out more storage if the customer specifically requested it because otherwise they don't want to pay for more storage.

Computer manufacturers consider any storage above 256gb to be a premium feature these days.

Look, here's a search for Lenovo Laptops with 16GB RAM (what I would consider the minimum in today's market) and a Win11 home license (not because I prefer that, but to exclude chromebooks and business machines). Here are the storage options that come up for those specs:

You will see that the majority of the options come with less than a terabyte of storage. You CAN get plenty of options with 1tb, but the point of Okay-Computer is to get computers with reasonable specs in an affordable price range. These days, that mostly means half a terabyte of storage (because I can't bring myself to *recommend* less than that but since most people carry stuff in their personal cloud these days, it's overkill for a lot of people)

All things being equal, 500gb more increases the price of this laptop by $150:

It brings this one up by $130:

This one costs $80 more to go from 256 to 512 and there isn't an option for 1TB.

For the last three decades storage has been getting cheaper and cheaper and cheaper, to the point that storage was basically a negligible cost when HDDs were still the standard. With the change to SSDs that cost increased significantly and, while it has come down, we have not reached the cheap, large storage as-a-standard on laptops stage; this is partially because storage is now SO cheap that people want to entice you into paying a few dollars a month to use huge amounts of THEIR storage instead of carrying everything you own in your laptop.

You will note that 1tb ssds cost you a lot less than the markup to pay for a 1tb ssd instead of a 500gb ssd

In fact it can be LESS EXPENSIVE to get a 1tb ssd than a 500gb ssd.

This is because computer manufacturers are, generally speaking, kind of shitty and do not care about you.

I stridently recommend getting as much storage as you can on your computer. If you can't get the storage you want up front, I recommend upgrading your storage.

But also: in the current market (December 2024), you should not expect to find desktops or laptops in the low-mid range pricing tier with more than 512gb of storage. Sometimes you'll get lucky, but you shouldn't be expecting it - if you need more storage and you need an inexpensive computer, you need to expect to upgrade that component yourself.

So, if you're looking at a computer I linked and saying "32GB of RAM and an i7 processor but only 500GB of storage? What kind of nonsense is that?" Then I would like to present you with one of the computers I had to quote today:

A three thousand dollar macbook with the most recent apple silicon (the m4 released like three weeks ago) and 48 FUCKING GIGABYTES OF RAM with a 512gb ssd.

You can't even upgrade that SSD! That's an apple that drive isn't going fucking anywhere! (don't buy apple, apple is shit)

The norms have shifted! It sucks, but you have to be aware of these kinds of things if you want to pay a decent price for a computer and know what you're getting into.

What Did I Do Today? Thursday

-Completed 4 Real Estate Tests today (to renew real estate license)

-Deleted footage off iPhone (spent 40 minutes deleting screenshots of TikTok Lives, Google Map screenshots for reminders from last year's backpacking trip, deleted all but the "one" best photo if I had duplicates). This is to prep my iPhone to be clean because I like starting a journey fresh. It's like starting a new book. Nothing from a previous book is directly related to this new book I'm about to read. Then I plan to transfer everything I want save to an external hard drive. Then I will store this HDD at my parent's house. Then wipe my iPhone Photo app CLEAN! Ready for new memories :)

-Watched some podcasts in between phone wiping, to see what I like, don't like, and how to create my content (Ex. Don't just yap just to yap. Get to the point, then get out).

-Finally edited the remaining "San Francisco Brand Ambassador Temp Gig" vlog (and uploaded!) where I rode my bike and took the train to San Francisco. I'm deciding how polished I want my content to be. I noticed some "empty silences" in the video where music or sound effects could work. But I also don't want to polish something so much that's intended to be raw. But I also don't want to be boring. Decisions, decisions.

Personal Note: Today isn't over yet, and usually I do TikTok LIVE in the evening. But I used ChatGPT to really motivate myself to be 100% prepared for my bicycle across America trip. There's not much left for me except wait for my 2nd No-ATM Fee debit card (always good to have a backup travel card), get my bike for the trip as my current bike has no option to shift gears, and clean out iPhone photos and videos to make room for the new ones. Which I am really excited about because I am learning that if I don't edit my vlog of the day that night, I'm never going to edit. So it's sort of a nice thing to basically cut the fat from the videos of the day and live a "post-to-delete" sort of philosophy. Because I posted my videos and photos, I can delete them off my iPhone. I also am realizing, that I do enjoy this diary "text" outlet. Because sometimes I don't feel like making a video. I just want to get my thoughts out. Like wanting to get from USA to Vietnam - I don't care how (train, boat, car, airplane, shark - just get me there).

Yesterday | Wednesday

-Edited my children's book "The Super-Duper Big Secret Rule of Everything!" This took up the majority of my time while at the library. Some of the issues were:

How to ensure the cover art covers the entire page (I still can't figure out)

How to add page numbers at the bottom (I'm intending to use images of numbers and use the Microsoft Word View > Grid to align the page numbers on the bottom

The "Draw Here" box was IMPOSSIBLE to align consistently on each page. Still unsure while. The work around was to use Canva to create a dotted rectangle > export as PNG file > import into Microsoft Word > align with grid. After printing, there still was misalignment.

-Organized and Printed QR Codes for busking and to put on bike while riding

-Organized and Printed "Sleeping Signs." These are the signs where (I'm not sure how to attach yet) I will attach them to my tent when I guerilla camp.

【KagePro】 KuroEne Misc Rambles 💙🖤

Source: Kagerou Daze Official Anthology Comic -WINTER

Illustration: Osora

I'm planning to scan the Kagerou Daze Winter Anthology for the KuroEne illust myself soon eventually 🙏

I need the KuroEne Winter Anthology illust in HD 🖤💙🐍🐇

I think I saved it from Tumblr back then but I can't find the OG source cuz of how trash Google Lens is.

God bless kid me for being a master archiver and saving almost everything on sight, because thanks to that, I managed to archive like 80 - 90% of KuroEne's fan works from back then.

This is also how I have the old scan of the Santa Ene, and Azami and Kuroha illust from the Kagerou Daze Winter Anthology.

I'm so sure I have the biggest KuroEne stash/archive because I first got into KagePro when I was 12 and saved most of what I saw.

I have majority of KuroEne's fanarts saved on my 1 TB HDDs.

I have a couple 1 TB HDDs, for animanga, games, documents, and art and music files for archival and file storage purposes.

Meaning I have access to fanarts that have been deleted off the internet.

I also translated some of them and am planning to translate more KuroEne fan comics (both SFW and NSFW)

Just looked through my old HDD folders and found stashes of KuroEne. I wanna translate some of them in the future.

Admittedly, I was unsure what would be the best course of action for posting translations of old fan-comics...

Considering the gray area in translating the fan works of artists who have deleted their accounts and/or are no longer in the fandom, I'm not gonna repost them directly on Tumblr, so I'll just make a post here and then link to my private Notion pages.

Just don't repost these images (of fan-artist's works), or misuse/repost my translations, or such.

So, you can view and save them for private/personal use.

In general, you can always send me a message/DM if you're ever curious about my fanart archives and translations :)

You can ask me on other socials if you'd like.

Cuz Tumblr's DMs are pretty shit.

...

I was going through my archives of old KuroEne fanart from 2013 - 2018

Mainly from Twitter and Pixiv back then, but there's also some from Tumblr and a bit from Weibo too.

I also collected ones from 2019 - 2024.

(It's hard to estimate the exact number, but I'd guess it's around 300 - 400)

I'd put it at this estimate, counting Pixiv Logs too.

It's hard to tell since I didn't name everything in my files with #KuroEne and there are duplicates in my files.

I'd have to rename files and recount everything manually if I wanted an exact number, and I don't have the time for that rn.

I have translated some old KuroEne arts/comics so I'll post them sometime in the future.

I'm busy rn.

I have rare pairs from other fandoms that get even less than what they have irt fan works.

Especially since KuroEne is a ship that hinges entirely on fan's HCs/interpretations of them.

So I can live with my HCs, friends' HCs and shenanigans, old fanart archives, and me commissioning artists for them occasionally 👍

...

Also the reason why I still have a ton of 12 - 16 year old me's personal art files and old fanart archives is cuz as a kid, I saved/archived mostly everything onto 1 TB HDDs and transferred my files over each time I moved laptops.

I have everything except for like, some of 11 - 14 year old me's art files but I don't really need that tbh. My old art looked like doodoo.

I have mostly everything including my old art files and KuroEne archives.

(CW: NSFW mentions in post)

I think making a Notion page would probably the best bet for this, since it's the most convenient for people to view and access.

Since I don't want to repost inactive artists' arts directly on Tumblr.

So I think Notion would work great for any SFW KuroEne comics.

Idk if Notion or Google Docs would allow hosting NSFW comic translations.

Ig I could host them on Notion, but then have any NSFW translations as "If you're 18+ ask me for the link so I can grant you access"

I think the Notion page is probably the best option cuz it's the easiest to set up.

For them to have NSFW doujinshi (even if they're not set in canon verse) is a blessing to me.

...

Though Ig there's an option of making a semi private Discord server just to hold my doujinshi scans, translations and fanart archives…

That way I could use it as a storage for myself too :)

If I did this, I'd have it as, "Ask me for the link"

Just as a precautionary measure to avoid sp*mbots and ph*sher accs and such.

This way, I'd be able to have SFW spaces, and then delegated 18+ only spaces, so that only those with 18+ roles can access.

Data recovery software is an application used to recover lost files from a storage medium. It is normal to accidentally delete files or lose them due to a virus attack, hard drive failure, or any other reason. Data recovery software can automatically scan the storage medium and recover the lost files. As you upgrade to Big Sur from Mac, it is essential to learn how to recover your files if you lose them. There is numerous data recovery software available. However, not all are good enough so here is a list of the top five free data recovery software to help Mac users make the best decision. Stella Data Recovery Stella Data recovery is regarded by many as the best data recovery tool in the market.

Apart from Mac, Stella Data Recovery can also be used to recover content for Windows 10. The free version of Stella Recovery Software can recover up to 1 GB of deleted images, videos, and files. Stella Data Recovery software supports exFAT, NTFS, and FAT. For additional features and unlimited data recovery capacity, you can choose to go for a premium version pricing at $80 or professional version pricing at $200. Even though this might not be the cheapest data recovery software in the market, it offers you the best shot of recovering your lost data. Data loss or, be it data theft, can be disastrous. As a Mac owner, you need to know well how to upgrade to Big Sur to optimize device security. Switching to Big Sur should not be the only target for you because the security measures are also equally important. EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Another top software recovery tool is EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard. The software is compatible with most devices, including macOS, Mojave, Catalina, and Mac OS X. It comes in three versions Free, Technician, and Pro versions, all of which you can use to recover your data successfully.

The free edition allows up to 2 GB of data, while the Pro version allows for unlimited data recovery. Data Rescue 5 Data Rescue 5 recovery software has two plans and a free demo, which only scans your computer to find discoverable files but does not recover any lost file. First is the standard plan designed for single computer usage, with the plan costing $99. The professional plan can be used by an unlimited number of computers and cost a one-term yearly payment of $299. The software has a well-designed interface that makes it easy for users to follow the guidelines needed to recover data. One of its most outstanding features is excluding duplicate files by recovery only the lost data that does not exist in your device. Data Rescue 5 installation size is only 15.7 MB so it does not eat much space. Furthermore, its ability to exclude existing files makes it one of the fastest data recovery software in the market. Ontrack EasyRecovery The data recovery software is one of the most effective non-destructive data rescue software. It is technically advanced and is capable of recovering lost documents, formatted as well as inaccessible RAW files on Windows XP/Vista/2003/2008/7/8/10. Compared to other recovery software in the list, Ontrack EasyRecovery is used more for professional purposes. The comprehensive software is incredibly fast and can be used to recover large volumes of data. The data recovery software is compatible with both Windows and macOS. One of the best features about it is that you can start or stop data recovery whenever you feel like it. The free trial version can recover up to 1GB, while the home version, which goes for $79, offers unlimited data recovery and additional core features. For advanced features

like disc cloning or raw recovery, a professional edition that goes for $109 is a good option. Cleverfiles Disk Drill With the ability to protect files, Cleverfiles Disk Drill can protect files. It can effectively act as a secondary recycle bin in your system. When you permanently delete files, the software will help you recover them back without the need to store data in it entirely. Apart from the data recovery function, Disk Drill enables users to analyze disk space to clean the hard drive with its Cleanup feature. Without disregarding its ability to recover your data, Cleverfiles Disk Drill works more like a Mac disk management tool as it can perform disk cleanup, locate duplicate files, and backup data. Conclusion If you are a Mac user and looking to recover lost data, you have no reason to worry. One of the software mentioned above will work along the way to ensure you recover all your lost data. All you need to do is download any of the above software, install it on your device, and start the recovery process.
