Everyone here is talking about how to get the latest and best stuff, but no one is talking about how they actually manage it 😜

So, how do YOU manage your Movies / Shows / Music / eBooks / Games?


I begin:

  • Plex for Movies / Shows / Music
  • Kavita for eBooks and Manga
  • Romm for my Gamecollection and Roms (it supports PC games aswell)

Underneath the file system, files are represented by inodes. (Or is it multiple inodes? Not sure.)

A file in the file system is basically a link to an inode. A hard link, then, just creates another file with a link to the same underlying inode.

source: stackoverflow sym versus hard links

Making a copy simply makes another inode, doubling your storage usage. You can use jdupes to convert duplicate files to hard links.
