Porn management

[Anonymous No.]

Dear /jp/, how do you store your porn?

I have over 130 gigabytes of ordered eromanga and I think it is starting to kill my pc. Access times are slowing down all over the place and even searching through it can take up a lot of resources. Anything other than Total Commander is struggling to move around the folders.
I've been collecting shit for nearly a decade and I fear winter Comiket is going to be the killer blow. I've regularly migrated my collection to bigger and newer HDDs, so I haven't had any HDD deaths yet probably thanks to that. However, now I have a 1 terabyte disk which is supposed to last for some time capacity-wise.

The majority of my problems probably stem from the fact that I only have a few folders of HCGs compressed. There are over 280.000 little files sitting on my HDD acting as a huge erotic black hole for any process that tries to penetrate them. I regularly try to defragment them though. I've thought about building a RAID, but that would need a hugeass new PC and I obviously don't have the money and space to buy a mini server farm, run it and feed it with power from home.
The reason for how this archiving system came to be is that only the image viewer I use satisfies my fapping needs and it can't handle compressed archives.

I have seen in previous threads that many of you has collections similar in size. I'm curious about how you deal with the raw size of the stuff.

Had to check if this was kopipe or not.

If one drive can't handle all, store 33 gigs of A-C on one, D-G on another and so on, sorted by circle or material by your preference.

I feel like I'm missing something, as this seems fairly intuitive and obvious to me.

If one drive dies its content is lost. I think losing only third of everything is not much better than losing everything in this case.

>>10229608
I have 3 HDDs and I still have to alternate one when I want to burn a disc. I could cramp 1 or 2 more into it, but that could be potentially dangerous because of the overheating. Not to mention the motherboard only has 4 plugs.

Why do you uncompress things? You can easily use CDisplay/EX to read stuff inside rar, zip or whatever packages.

Not uncompressing my eromanga is the only thing I do, though. I also hoard all the porn I enjoy from pixiv, 4chan and similars, and I'm probably going to meet your fate eventually. I guess I could buy a new HDD solely for my porn some day in the future.

[Anonymous No.]

If you browse a folder with pics Windows will try to make thumbsnails of the pics while the folder window is open. This takes time and slows down the system until its done thumbnailing the folder.

Either ZIP your folders or turn off that auto thumb nailing feature. You can Google the latter.

I have WAY more data then that stored, and don't have this problem. Get a better hard-drive and/or a better CPU. Maybe a better mobo too.

>>10229656

Yes. On windows 7, click on pic, at the bottom of explorer you will see 5 stars, (If you're using a 3rd party theme, properties > details), rate it, then sort by rating.

On some dedicated server I give people accounts on so we can share stuff.

[Anonymous No.]

I've junk all over my hd, but it doesn't bother me much because I use an app called "Everything" and never mess with filenames, so I can easily find anything I need at any time. Provided I know what I'm looking for, of course.

As >>10229714 mentions, use cdisplayex to read stuff. The only problem is when they stuff archives inside archives to separate event cgs from backgrounds or something. But you'll probably want to mess with those anyway as they usually have bmp files which are, since I don't really care about tiny losses, best batch coverted into jpg. When I need that, I use gimp and some plugin I forget the name of.
Sometimes I need to batch rename stuff as well, and I use xnview for that. It's a nice imageviewer, though it has (or had) a bug where you can't switch off automatic thumbnail caching due to it not saving the setting when you close the app. But you can also tag files through it and build a library of sorts. Though that's too much trouble for me. There are similar apps out there too, you should look around.

I started using manga meeya and like it WAY better.

Unfortunately they stopped using the version I liked and "upgraydid" to a shittier version, and I just keep the version I like archived on an external HDD. (MMCE_Wind32)

[Anonymous No.]

>>10229769
Yeah I really like manga meeya too. Though sometimes some archives won't open for some reason even though another file that is archived using the same method is fine.

I wish it could support 7z though. Unless a newer version gives it support now.

Used to use CDisplay for the longest time and it was hard for me to change.

Like someone said before, fap and delete stuff you don't need.

If you still want to keep everything, than install extra HDD or get external one.

Please explain how you could get a virus from watching porn online.

I thought you had to open a file that can execute code, like an .exe or batch file, or open a normal file (like a text file) that by itself can't execute code, but can exploit the program that opens it, which does execute code. (Which is extremely rare and almost never happens.)

TLDR; I don't think getting a virus from going to any and every porn site on Earth is possible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10229870
Listen here, nerd.

1. Firefox is patched every month, since people usually find at least three or four critical security flaws in that time that allow for certain website features to crash your browser and execution of arbitrary code.
2. Most websites use Flash to deliver content. Flash, similar to all other Adobe products, is known to be frequently patched because it literally contains over 9000 security flaws that allow remote code execution simply by playing a certain crafted piece of flash video.
3. Some people also install Java, for some reason or another. If your browser doesn't automatically block applets, chances are that you are vulnerable to at least three different exploits right now.

So, in summary, unless you are 100% up to date, you will be vulnerable simply by surfing the web. Hey, in fact, even if you are up to date, chances are that some people have already found a new vulnerability that isn't patched yet. And guess where those people exploit you? On dubious porn sites that are known to be visited by the dumbscum of humanity.

>>10229870
Pictures are files too and just as capable of giving you viruses. Any website is perfectly capable of infecting you if you're not wearing e-condoms.

Yes, even /jp/

[Anonymous No.]

I always get the impression you guys make things overly complicated when it comes to preserving your stuff.

I literally just keep everything I have always in two HDs. One inside my computer and the other outside, which I update regularly. If one dies, everything is still in the other and I need only get a new one to keep the duo in order to stay safe forever. And providing you're not retarded you need only the money for the first two unless you decide to get bigger ones, because I've been doing this for years and I've NEVER had ANY die. I'm genuinely impressed people talk about HDs dying as if it's an everyday issue, and have no idea how they do it so frequently. They must walk around their rooms juggling with coke cans or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10229896

No they're not. An image can't give you a virus.

>>10229877

Well shit, I've never even seen an example of this. The chance of it happening must be slim to none.

This is mainly dependent on harddisk vendors. For example, I have yet to see one of my WD disks die, while my three Maxtor disks died less than a year after I bought them (one of them a month after, even).

Don't believe it? Go to Bugtraq or Full Disclosure and search for libjpeg or libpng. Protip: These libraries are so wide-spread that literally every single image processing application uses them in one way or another.

[Anonymous No.]

>>10229914
The chances are definitely not slim to none, if you are visiting shoddy websites, usually related to porn.

If you're worried, consider the NoScript addon for firefox (I'm not sure if it exists for other browsers) or running your browser in Sandboxie.

A major dutch news site had an banner once that infected visitors with a piece of code that attempted to download the Zeus trojan in the background. All that was needed was for your browser to load to the banner.

Flash or Java would have to be involved, that said EVERYONE MAKE SURE NO JAVA ADDONS ARE ENABLED IN YOUR BROWSERS. You don't need it, and it's just being exploited in more ridiculous ways more than ever.

[Anonymous No.]

did that time where if you downloaded a certain picture from here and ran it as a java related file give a virus or was that just a worm?

i'm still surprised that people actually followed the instructions and did it.

It would be great if Java stopped automatically installing its shitty addon in Firefox without even asking. Fuck you, Oracle.

It was a Javascript file encapsuled in an image. If you renamed it to .js and ran it, Windows would invoke its shitty JScript interpreter, which would in turn run an ActiveX scriptlet that could basically do whatever it wanted with your computer.

That's still not an image giving you a virus. Just like it's not an image playing music in the 4chan sounds threads (RIP), but a ogg file embedded into the image.

Who is that fucking dumb anyway?

>>10229957
Did you not read >>10229926? For example, look at this: http://seclists.org/bugtraq/2012/Mar/103.. This is from March. Note the "a specially-crafted PNG image file" "when opened, could cause an application using libpng to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code". libpng, basically, is a library that deals with reading PNG files and converting them into the operating system's native image implementation. So, many applications do not write this code themselves, but use libpng instead. By many, I am referring to Firefox, Chrome, Opera, and others. If any of these applications open said image file, they will at one point call libpng to read the image. libpng, in turn, will crash, and execute whatever code was embedded in the image file. So, you can get infected this way, and it has happend before more than once. I'm not googling up examples for you.

>CDisplay
Nice but not intelligent and configurable enough.
>CDisplayEx
Smarter, but still not configurable enough and scrolling feels clunky.

I want absolute control over the viewing process with a keyboard. I want to change and define hotkeys, adjust scrolling speed and crop parts of the picture and save it as a different file.
For some reason ACDSee Pro completely suits my tastes, despite lacking in the customizability department and overall being dumb as a stick. The only problem I had with it was the lack of unicode support, but they finally fixed it.

I keep all the cool pictures I like, like the reaction image you posted. The problem starts when I have to look through weird named folders in any drive under things like music or in folders of games because I wanted to have everything spread out for some reason. Then I dont know if I have my get out of /jp/ marisa in the porn folder inside my image folder in the oblivion files, or in my eurobeat music folders.
Its awful

[Anonymous No.]

Not sure how good it is, but there's a program called Calibre designed to organize and read digital comic collections.

Though I found out about it because there was a famous bug that caused it to delete all your files or something like that, so maybe it's not that great.

[Anonymous No.]

I feel that if I do not have a sizable cache of easily accessible H material that covers my major desires I will be shit out of luck if I lose internet access for more than a day.

It's also very interesting to see how my tastes have shifted since I was a teenager. Also, it seems I was a lot more accepting in 2007 of low-quality jpegs riddled with artifacts and one-second looping gifs.

You solve that problem by keeping a well-structured folder tree organized along a strict hierarchy of rules, which is reorganized on a monthly basis to ensure the integrity of your system.

You could also fuck around with personal file servers if you want to stuff your collection into a searchable database. Though given your massive collection of erotica going through and cataloging each picture would be a very painful and masochistic venture.

[Anonymous No.]

I have closer to 300GB of lewd content, and I've never had a problem with things slowing down.

Seriously, are you using hard drives from the 90s? I keep mine on a 5400RPM Green, and that's pretty slow for today's standards.

Calibre is managing eBooks and eReaders. Its nifty for converting zipped manga to a format a eReader can handle though.

I use a program called ComicRack. Basically you can comfortably view, sort, rate, etc. files from a large variety of file types. The pic is just stuff that I'm seeding for ehentai, just to show how intuitive it is.

I've never understood why people actually save porn on their computer when there are just so many tube sites and ways to play it in browser. I've been a Hiki for about 12 years and not once have I saved porn videos to my computer. The occasional 2d images yes but I never fap to those, I just look at them. So I guess people do the same with porn videos? They just look at them without fapping?

if its that bad, how about just going online when you need it? storing your stuff only ends up collecting dust as you get more and more. bottom line: eventually gets forgotten, thus its useless to mass store
