LOL.

We pay for 4K, but we don't get more than 720p unless we use some proprietary shit hardware and agree to their super-invasive "privacy policy" - and they expect people to NOT set sail in the high seas? GTFO..

I get pissed at my family for being traditional hoarders but I somewhat inherited that as a data hoarder. The amount of stuff I have pirated over the years and not actually used or watched is hilarious.

Same here. But on the bright side, at least data hoarding doesn't take up a ton of physical space.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 8 months ago

Well, it does if you do a lot.

What are we taking TB wise?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago (1 children)

I have about 10TB of stuff. Around 600 movies and not quite 200 TV series. I'm planning on leaving societies embrace and being away from it all in a couple of weeks and have been hoarding stuff to keep me entertained, if needed. I'm not the one you asked, but here you go. I don't really feel like I have a ton of stuff, from a datahoarder perspective, but probably a little more than the average torrent monster.

Hm are those high res movies? 10 TB seems to small

Kind of all over the place, but mostly 1080 or so. Here's a little data:

I have 48 movies that are 1.7G, 43 that are 1.5G, and so on.

     48 1.7G
     43 1.5G
     33 1.9G
     31 2.2G
     31 2.0G
     30 1.6G
     27 1.8G
     25 1.4G
     21 2.1G
     19 2.5G
     16 1.3G
     14 2.6G
     14 2.3G
     12 2.4G
     10 2.8G
