I was like "nothing wrong here" until I saw that T that my brain just refused to parse the first time.

If I was on my laptop and not my phone I would post a screenshot with a P just for you

lol , is home separate mount point?

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 19 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Yeah,

So Home is a separate 1.8TB NVME drive... But under home is my home directory, and under that is a half-dozen NAS mounts, including my ~~Plex stuff.~~ collection of ISO images. ;-)

[-] lemonhead2@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago

omg. how many isos to get 100tb

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 17 points 2 weeks ago

If you're doing raw bluray, not as many as you'd think.

[-] Ghoelian@piefed.social 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah, a single raw blu-ray can be over 100GB. I ripped my whole doctor who blu-ray collection once, it took quite a few days. And that wasn't even 4k or HDR or anything. The first few seasons are even interlaced iirc.

Your username absolutely does not check out. Or your shredder is broken haha

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

I shred paper. ;-) After digitizing it of course. ;-)

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 10 points 2 weeks ago

For working I'm a backup and DR guy...the name was intended to be ironic. ;-)

[-] tuckerm@feddit.online 34 points 2 weeks ago

Pfft, the only "hoarding problem" is that storage is expensive these days!

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 12 points 2 weeks ago

I know, I just paid $500 for a 24TB SAS drive that was $250 just over a year ago.

[-] Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 weeks ago

That's a good deal. Microcenter was selling a WD 20TB external HDD for $600. Didn't end up pulling the trigger 'cause I'm going for a 2 drive Raid1 config on my janky setup and $1350 w/ taxes is way too steep.

Meanwhile here I am trying to upgrade my 512gb NVME drive to 2Tb while also still trying to afford car payments, rent and food. Rookie numbers on my part.

[-] kalpol@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 weeks ago

The most well-timed thing I ever did was buy 6 2tb NVMe drives in August last year

God help me if one fails

Pardon my stupidity BUT why include stdout to Devnull? Why not omit and simply 'du -sh /home'

[-] nbailey@lemmy.ca 33 points 2 weeks ago

There’s probably a bunch of permissions errors, filesystems warnings for cross-filesystem mounts or links, etc. all going to stderr. Linux output streams are a bit odd, 1 is stdout and 2 is stderr. So the command is redirecting the “noise” to null and just printing the actual command output. That would be my assessment, but OP could probably give a more correct answer..!

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Nope, you are exactly on.

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 weeks ago

Noob, just use sudo, less chars!

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

Oddly enough, still generates errors. (There are stuff in user directories that are set to 600.... so even root can't browse/open.)

[-] Sprocketfree@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well now I have to try this. Missing that executable bit would make sense. But last time I did this on / I didn't get errors 🤔

2> means stderr.... Keeps the "can't access ...." Out of the display.

[-] helix@feddit.org 11 points 2 weeks ago

That's stderr, not stdout

[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 19 points 2 weeks ago

One think I miss from reddit… /r/datahoarder

These were my people. I probably have 100TB but it certainly isn't in my home directory. I'm not sure if I should be immpressed or freightened.

[-] flameleaf@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)
[-] billwashere@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Well TIL … I subscribed to the first two but the last one didn't work for some reason.

never saw the s argument and was curious what's the difference to d. man pages are way ahead of me ^^

--max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 6 points 2 weeks ago

So just did a couple of experiments...

sudo su -sh /home - returns permission denied errors on certain NAS subdirectories, but not a lot.

du -sh /home --summarize -returns the same errors.

du -sh --max-depth=0 - returns the same errors plus an error saying that using --max-depth=0 is the same as --summarize.

;-) for the purposes of what I was doing (creating a clip for posting) redirecting stderr to null was the best option.

But I learned a few things today, which is cool. ;-)

Greetings, fellow data hoarder!

[-] katze@lemmy.4d2.org 7 points 2 weeks ago

Why do you pipe stderr of du into /dev/null?

[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 5 points 2 weeks ago

To keep the errors out and provide just the result.

[-] massive_bereavement@fedia.io 6 points 2 weeks ago
[-] ShredderFeeder@shredderfood.net 4 points 2 weeks ago

To be fair, all but about 2TB of that is on a NAS...but still.

[-] bacon_pdp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago

Rookie numbers.

Try that shit on datahoarders and see hoards measured in Petabytes

[-] Joelk111@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I create videos, and back up all of my raw footage. I make weekly videos, and the size ranges from 50GB up to 500GB or more. I have 105TB available, 90TB used at the moment. I also have a fully redundant set of another 105TB. My employer has unfortunately made it very easy to justify hoarding, as they'll sell me reputable used commercial drives for $10/TB.

The video archives are 53TB

TubeArchivist is 19TB

Legally acquired movies and TV is 10TB

Immich is 2TB

Those are the main users of data. A bunch of other folders are using anywhere from a gig to 500GB, but those are basically rounding errors.

Lately, I'm considering it.

That's an option?
