  • My financial status is I'm trying to figure out if starting a church to grift people will make me feel bad, lol. I'll probably use one of the old PCs I have laying around and turn it into some sort of homebrew nas. Hopefully before it's too late but probably not until I have a close call.

  • Which distro are you on?

  • That shouldn't be a problem. Appreciate it 👍

  • Awesome possum. Thanks

  • I'm pretty neurotic about that anyway, but this drive is only external because I ran out of headers; I don't plan on ever unplugging it. I do appreciate the info though

  • I guess it's a matter of perspective, lol. I consider myself something of a data hoarder, and a lot of those guys have stacks and stacks of terabyte drives. I've just been slowly accumulating phone pictures for years, and then I finally got fiber internet a couple years ago after having nothing but cellphone hotspots or dialup for the past ~40 years. So I immediately started downloading YouTube channels, lmfao.

    I think it's only at around 4 TB currently, so that should be ok. Although, I'll probably just roll with it until I get a new drive or something because I'm lazy. I'll probably not even swap to Linux until I absolutely have to do so. I do need to set up some sort of redundancy soon though. I've got a lot of pictures of my son when he was a baby that I don't want to lose. I should send them to be printed and put in a photo album or something, like my grandma used to do.

  • This is the most technical reply I've read thus far, and I appreciate the information. This seems like something I would've been pulling my hair out over relatively soon.

  • While I do not plan on using this drive for games, I will either do this, or possibly dual-boot bazzite, so I appreciate the info.

  • Portable is a strong word. It's not so much a portable drive as it is a desktop external HDD that utilizes USB for data transfer. Technically portable, but not really made to toss in your pocket. It wouldn't be an external drive if I hadn't run out of headers before I wanted it. And I already had stuff on my other drives so I couldn't just swap one out. I mean, I could, but I dedicate them to things - system drive, games, raw video captures to edit, exported videos that have been edited / miscellaneous, and then this external drive for phone backups and archived media.

  • I shudder to think of "if anything goes wrong." I really need some sort of redundancy for this drive. It all started with "I'm going to get a big drive so I can backup my phone," and it's grown to "I have 5 phones worth of memories and 3 terabytes of YouTube channels downloaded onto this single drive." lol

  • Awesome. And good idea, lol.

  • Nice. Thanks :)

  • Linux @lemmy.ml

    Probably a dumb question, but: do I need to do anything to my media drive when swapping from Windows?

  • Sorry mate, too busy thinking about banging this gal

  • Thank you sir

  • That was my plan all along, and you fell right into it.

  • Unrelated question: do you find it odd that everyone's phones have started auto-capitalizing "internet"? I often wonder why that is.

  • No, I was lying. I don't treat women or cats like trash; I do make up outlandish stories sometimes, though.
