I have thousands of unsorted chan images and webms. How the fucc do I sort all this efficiently? It's a never ending clusterfucc of porn, politics, music and memes. How do you sort your folders?

In experience, you don't. Having to browse through all of it might be a good experience and remind you of good times.
If not, you can try to sort the reaction by feeling. As in "Sad" folder full of sad faces and stuff like that.

The problem with that is having to scroll through thousands of random files just to find a reaction image. Let alone webms, which have to be named individually. Not having thumbnails for webms makes everything harder.

I'm pretty sure there are plenty of ways to put thumbnails in webms. And well, the thing with reaction pictures is that most of them can fit unless you're looking for something in specific. If you can't find it, just use anything else similar.

select all and into the trash. sorted.

Make some sub folders with names.
Sort by file type, move that shit into folders
Take some time every day to sort the stuff inside the sub folders.
Don't be a fagggot and stop before you are finished.

Every time I do this I end up fapping and leaving the rest for another day.

Must be a newfag or something

well you need to do something cause it will continue to bug you.
Stop saving stuff into one folder
Make some folder of stuff you like to save and save everything in the proper folder.
Make an agreement with yourself you will work on the large folder
1 hour per day
Once you get some of it done you will be motivated to continue.

Make some folders

4% of your existence sorting pics lifted from Holla Forums. you really need to go outside a bit.

Make a torrent of the good shit, i.e. memes, music, politics and maybe /fit/-related.

And updated instaoldfagkit would be p dank friendo

TL;DR

I've come to the realization that not only is it impossible to (manually) sort it to a satisfactory level, it's also fuccing pointless to save (almost) anything what so ever.

However, regarding sorting:
What makes it so difficult is that some pieces of data can go into two sub-categories or more! If you're using conventional folders, you'll realize this problem pretty quiccly.

For a scale-able example: You have two folders.
One for pictures of objects that are red & one for pictures of cars. Now if you have a picture of a red car, what the flying fucc do you do?
I used to develop a silly hierarchy where some themes overrides others. That is, until it became so large that it was unmanageable. I used a script for some time that hard-linked shit into multiple directories but that got old real quiccly. In addition, digging trough all of your directories can be a pain in the butt too.

On the other hand, there's a type of sites referred to as "Boruus".
They scrap the use notion of folders & instead utilize tagging. Based on what the images contain, they get tagged appropriately by visitors at front-end & is then filed automatically by the system bacc-end. This is doable for your own data as well, by the means of i.e the Hydrus Network. ( )

This is very nifty, however if you sit on vast amounts of bits, tagging data instead of "sorting" it actually adds to your workload, since you can use multiple tags. It also introduces some other inconveniences…

I've just given up. If the piece of content doesn't make me laugh so hard that I cry (once every blood moon or so) or contain information of high practical value, I just don't save it. I've archived away my old collections and don't litter my system by downloading more shit.

As humans, we're hard-wired to collect, however if you let it go: it feels pretty damn good. Think about it, how much of what you save do you actually value?
How much of it do you re-visit? Do you actually use even a fraction of what you save? Why do you save it in the first place?

Anything I don't access again within two weeks gets a one-way ticcet to Oblivion. Maybe you should do the same?

I used downthemall on here got an ass load of stuff. I just put videos in vids folder pics in pics folder ect. Been sitting on my 650gb drive for a year…. Also did it on 4ch too. Just some random junk mostly porn. Dont really know why i saved them, just did.

What I do is pretty similar to the anons here:


It's a really easy, obvious system and works for me; but, I think I'm gonna start using Hyrdus like this fag was recommending:


→ Oh, and just saying, I practically == never == go through my miscellaneous memes folder, and those folders for just shits n giggles should be kept to a minimum in size imo.

NEVER

...

Delete All you dumb nigger

There can only be doggie and not doggos

Right now the only division I have is vids/pictures, so basically no division because I can always arrange it that way by sorting by type. before i purged all of my files close to a year ago right when i stopped using 4cuck, i had divisions like greentext, redpilled, funny, serious, bait, reactions, wankbank, and an oc folder for things i'd made; these were all then subdivided into file types, but theres obviously a lot of overlap, and it was just a mess. the tagging idea seems pretty good tbh

WAIT OP! WAIT!

before you organize, dump them all for us! maybe Holla Forums will like your stuff? nothing illegal though.

Recently I wiped my entire porn folder, one that took over a decade to collect.
Why? Poor organization. See, a while ago a roommate of mine managed to fall for a piracy honeypot, organized by the distributors of a movie. As far as we know, it's only a matter of time until we get visited and have our drives confiscated for investigation.
Now, since the lawsuit is going to be from a specific company, they are not going to do squat about my other pirated software - outside of private lawsuits, government in my third world country does not care about piracy at all. So in this respect I'm clean.
However, being on 4chan since 2006 or 2007, I have saved a lot of pizza. I saved it in a completely disorganized manner in the same folder as the rest of my porn.
The chance of them coming across it are teeny tiny, but they are non-zero. If they do find it - I'm rotting in jail for the rest of my life. And at several thousands images - I am unable to sort all of it in a reasonable manner.
So I wiped it. All of it, then razed and burned and salted the space left behind.
All because I was not smart enough to sort things apart.

fuck dude why would you save pizza. that shit's illegal.

My folders go as:
armor/weaponry, art, avatars, comics, creepy, humorous, information/infographics, wallpapers, reaction images, text, game/album covers, cringeshit. You can just make themed folders and subfolders for whatever you want.

Jesus why do people always suffix everything they say with that? Stop being such a faggot.

found the pedo

>>>/hydrus/ has a board yaknow?

having to tag a fresh collection is bothersome at the start but worth it imo

i had like 7k images without tags and got them all categorized after half a year of a few hours thrown at it at random days.

What are you, a cuck?

tru, only cucks prefer women, alphas go after 6 yr olds

No, I'm just tired of seeing that every fucking where I go. "nothing illegal" is already fucking implied you idiot.

when you're on 8ch if u ask someone to dump their folder its safer to type nothing illegal for legal reasons, because of the high likelyhood they have cp
