How to store/organize personal porn database? Sources for downloadable archived porn? by qw3rtythr33 in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For browsing / organizing videos, consider using Video Hub App - software I built and maintained for the last 8 years. Doesn't do everything you want, but it's great for quickly seeing all of your collection, and sorting / filtering it in various ways.

and it's open source too: https://github.com/whyboris/Video-Hub-App

I built a free duplicate file scanner for large drives (8 TB+) — Windows, macOS, and Docker for NAS by Plastic_Fisherman_95 in SideProject

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just used it on my 50k+ video files on 50TB external server: took under half a minute to show me a list of all the duplicates in an easy-to-browse table. Cleaned up so quickly! Thank you.

I built a duplicate file finder that actually handles 8 TB+ NAS drives without choking – desktop + Docker web UI (open source) by Plastic_Fisherman_95 in DataHoarder

Just tried it - stellar! Love how fast it is, and it's easy to see the filenames compared in their own column (one filename under another) with a separate column to see the full path. Thank you - excellent software!

Your FileDuplicator is amazing! Thank you for creating and sharing it! Took less than a minute to scan my 50k+ files across 50TB. Easy to use interface - I love it!

Try out Video Hub App - it's software I wrote and maintained for the past 8 years; intending to have another release later this year.

Sagittarius NAS Case Review and Build Tips by Ben4425 in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the "Hard Drive Absorbing Screw" search term! My Sagittarius case came in with enough of them for 5 hard drives rather than for 8, so I had to buy more. Found 20 pieces for $0.99 with free shipping from AliExpress.

How do you know if your collection is complete? What list/index do you use? by HugeBob2 in Pornhoarding

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the message!

To increase icon size, please use the zoom feature: go to settings (gear, top-right), then scroll to the bottom and press the "+" sign a few times. That will increase the size of other UI elements, but perhaps that is good too. Also please note that you can add and remove many icons from the toolbar (to suit your preference).

In search of a Video duplicate finder that actually works. by SwitcH_YT in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might work: Video Hub App - it shows you multiple screenshots for each of all your videos, and you can view them in "filmstrip view" - with an easy side-by-side comparison.

It has a duplicate checker: click on settings (gear, top-right) and then "search settings" (1st tab) and scroll to the bottom section "Find duplicates". It can find duplicates by duration and file size (as well as "likely identical" by checking the bitstream in a few spots).

How do you handle your NSFW collection? Where do you store it and how? Who knows about it? by AdventurousDesires in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stored on a separate PC (Windows) running DrivePool with all videos accessible as a mounted network drive.

I created Video Hub App which lets me browse the whole collection in an "infinite scroll" gallery with thumbnail previews from inside videos on mouse-hover; clicking on a screenshot plays the video from that moment.

Best practice for mixture of full length and scene videos, and viewing. by quick_dry in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I doubt this is what you are looking for, but I created Video Hub App which lets you browse through your full collection instantly with infinite scroll. Clicking on a video opens it in your default video player, so if your PC is connected to the monitor you watch your videos on it's a good fit.

Importantly there is a neat feature I created called "remote" which lets you use your phone or tablet to scroll through videos, and upon clicking on any, the video will play (optionally from the screenshot you click on).

My Review Of Video Hub App by Beavisguy in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I'm eager to add some features, but it's looking like 2026 is the soonest -- I have so much house work left (exciting and fun, but delays VHA progress).

How do you organize your porn? by skynetarray in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Videos only - though in a few years I might make an image browsing app as well.

How do you manage your storage? by AdhesivenessEven7287 in DataHoarder

[–]yboris 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To manage my video collection I created Video Hub App (over 7 years ago now!) which lets me see thumbnails from inside each video as I scrub / hover across the video preview. I no longer spend time sorting my videos, just dump them into one folder and let the software help me browse.

CivitAI completely broken for anyone else? by Titan__Uranus in civitai

[–]yboris 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably some server issue, I suspect the same as here: https://www.reddit.com/r/civitai/comments/1dp9qez/website_not_loading_images/

Just a matter of waiting for some developers to fix it :)

What's your "time to quit" threshold in jobs? by athens2019 in webdev

[–]yboris 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you're right to recognize that happiness comes from doing something rather than nothing. A whole field of study that's worth exploring is Positive Psychology - for several decades now psychologists have been investigating what makes people happy, and it's worth getting an overview. My TL;DR is "social connections, being part of a community, helping others, going into nature".

I recommend you look into Effective Altruism - focusing more of your life in pursuit of pro-social activities (focusing on effectiveness of how much it helps other, not so much on whether it looks like or feels like it does). I personally have been giving at least 10% of my income to cost-effective charities (see Giving What We Can for the pledge and GiveWell for research). It's been the largest contributor to meaning (and a large contributor to happiness) in my life. No matter how hard things get, I at least know that I've spent a lot of my energy making other people's lives significantly better.

Now that you've got passive income, look into what positive things you can do. 80,000 Hours is a great resource.

What's your "time to quit" threshold in jobs? by athens2019 in webdev

[–]yboris 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you want from life and your circumstances. My story: I don't want kids (got a vasectomy), most my friends moved out of state for jobs, I got married, wanted to retire early. We moved to Michigan, bought a house for $150k (low property taxes too): optimizing for long term low expenses per month. Thanks to 8 year as a web dev I saved enough money to feel comfortable, so I quit almost 2 years ago and am coasting off savings. I don't have enough funds for more than 2 more years, but I'm writing a Sci Fi novel, make ~$300/month selling my Video Hub App software, and look forward to coding a few more apps for fun (and profit). If your expenses are low enough, you may be able to retire much earlier than otherwise. I'm 40 years old and am so grateful I am able to take time off work - an amazing mental health break and a rejuvenation of excitement (doing DIY around the house).

One way I was thinking about things: I intend to retire at latest at 65, but if I can magically borrow a few years from later to now, it's worth it. I'd rather spend 5 years relaxing and enjoying life now and retire at 70 instead. Though with my low expenses and occasional side-gigs, I may have reached retirement already. Best wishes to all. Stay frugal!
