How many TeraBytes perverted you are?

@raphjd wow very impressive. I thought my 50TB+ of porn is a lot.
Mine is quite organzied, I have an automated flow that scrapes various sites (theporndb, iafd, gevi) and automatically convert to mp4, rename the video with title, performer, studio, and date, as well as embedded synopsis/desc into the mp4 so that it shows up on Plex.

@fauci2020 I even made a website for my porn collection since file names can be very long with date, performer names and tags, especially with those 20-people orgy scenes. I don't know why but I enjoy organizing them more than watching them LOL.

I'm not a coder, so I need a pre-built solution.

I use a Synology NAS.

Currently, I rename and reencode everything manually.

I also use Plex, but no matter how I name stuff, Plex lists them in its own order. As an example, I have a folder named Three Stooges with Three Stooges videos.

The videos are named as such:
Three Stooges - Have Rocket Will Travel (1959) - 1080p.

On the NAS, they show up in order, but on Plex, they show up in various forms, such as simply; Have Rocket Will Travel.

I'm guessing it's the name in the metadata.

I am ¨only¨ at around 20 TB. I started with small 1TB external drives and when I reached the 6th I decided that I need a more practical solution and bought my first 8 TB drive. It filled in around 2021 now I almost filled in my second one.

I don't follow any naming rules and keep the names of the files as I have downloaded them but have very strict folder rules and am able to find what I am looking for quite easily. I also have created an excel catalogue file where I keep track of everything I have.

However lately the pace with which I am filling up my disks decreased significantly - I apreciate only BDSM/Fetish content and this kind of content has decreased in quality and quantity since after COVID so currently I am just trying to complete my collections of videos from the golden age 2008-2020.

@raphjd I use AI to write all the code needed for the automation. Through lots of trials an errors, I managed to have a flow that is pretty great now.

The only thing I do manually now is download. Using qbittorrent's categories, it downloads into the model or studio folder.
From there I use Fileflows with the custom scripts to lookup, move, encode (if needed), rename, and embed, as well as organize them into collections on Plex.

I run Kometa once a month to make sure all collections are proper.

Regarding Plex specifically, it defaults to sort by date added or release date, forgot which one.
If you want a specific sort, you'll have to create collection and set the sort order for that collection - this is done with Kometa

@focker I'm the same, I enjoy downloading and organizing them more than watching them now.

I own a Synology NAS too, with two 16TB and two 8TB hard drives (they are all half full). I put movies, music, photos, backups and personal websites on it. Around 10TB is porn.

I use Jellyfin to manage movies, Audio Station to stream music, and Immich to manage photos.

I also put qBittorent, Audiobookshelf, Calibre, Home Assistant, AdGuard, IPTV/EPG Manager, Open WebUI and OpenClaw on it.

Can't live without it.

I also have a Synology Nas 3x 16tb HD with another ext standalone 16tb HD along with other ssd and other smaller portable Hd in total over 100tb

all of them are used for a multitude of things not just the obvious lol

I'm happy to see I'm not the only hoarder around here. I now have 4 full 20TB hard drives full of porn along with a lot of old old drives full of random things, and will soon need to buy another to clear off my laptop. I'm contemplating spending some time to curate and organize everything, but it feels so overwhelming. And, every time I try I get distracted by one of the videos, and get off on a wild goose chase of another kind. One day, I'd like to mount the old drives I've got and see what gems I have from 25 years ago, if they still boot at all.

I hear you on this one... On the most part, I don't really keep much on my laptop, and have one primary PC that handles torrents, but I have several drives that are now inside of one of 3 different machines, and are accessible through my home network. This makes it such that while I do not store very much on my laptop directly (mostly due to limited space on the laptop), I can still access and stream content from other drives on those other machines. Also, most of my torrents are done over an RDP session so that I do not need to be sitting in front of that particular machine to do anything with the torrents, and through the magic of my Sync.com account, I can download a .torrent file from anywhere using my laptop, then remotely login to my porn PC, where a copy of that .torrent will automatically get dropped, so I can just open it on that PC, then move on.

The problem comes in where not only does organizing things get overwhelming, but I also find myself in a situation regularly where jacking off is easy, but choosing the video is hard because there's SOOOOOOOO much to choose from, even if my internet is down for some reason.

@perro2492 Right now i think about 4TB mostly JFF and OF - Group scenes or threesomes.
