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 11 months ago

Well, it does if you do a lot.

What are we taking TB wise?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 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.

     33 1.9G
     31 2.2G

     30 1.6G
     27 1.8G
