      If the movie industry is anything to be believed my Plex Library is probably worth tens of millions.

    Super sad storytime. Back in the early 2000s, I had an awesome Sony camera phone with a real xenon flash.

    I probably had thousands of photos on it on an SD card that has been through multiple phones.

    Suddenly, my mom started feeling pains in her stomach area and was later diagnosed with staged 4 cancer.

    After she passed away, I accidentally fell into a lake and broke my phone and lost every photo and video of my mom. I only have a video of her voice that I posted on Facebook while she was washing my dog for the first time.

    Since then, I haven’t lost a single photo. Each photo and video is saved in 4 different locations, in a B2 bucket and in different countries.

    I still have this old phone. I’m hoping one day I can retrieve it. Until then, always save your photos in multiple places.

      If you still have that phone, try a data recovery specialist. They might be able to get something out.

      I’m sorry for your loss.

      Computer stores might be able to retrieve the data. It’s better if you go somewhere locally owned, they might have a suggestion for a specialist.

        I have tried. Mailed it to a specialist in Taiwan that claimed it was possible. Couldn’t get the data out.

    Hah, the number on my bank account sometimes feels like it’s just pixels.

    But most valuable to me would be old irc chatlogs with people who’ve passed. It’s been years since I’ve felt the need to pull them out and read them, but I’m happy to know they’re there.

    A bunch of irreplaceable demo tracks and singles from bands that broke up twenty years ago.

        There’s an idea. I already have cloud backups, and physical backups, but public backups really appeal to me, as does sharing these tracks with the world.

        Legally, though, I don’t own the music; I just have it, own a license for it, I mean. With bands that don’t exist anymore, I don’t anticipate any issues; for singer-songwriter types, though… that’s thornier.

    My orginal pokemon blue save file and the 151 (152 if you count missing no) from my childhood. They are all just chilling and hoping that maybe one day I’ll come back and play with them like the good old days when we were masters.

      Get a ROM dumper and get that save off the cartridge now before it’s too late, if it isn’t already. I collect and restore old games and most gen 1 Pokémon carts have a dead battery by now.

      I’m amazed that my original Pokémon Red lasted as long as it did - but the in game battery will eventually die. If you really want to save it I highly recommend using a cart dumper, something like the gbxcart, to save your file elsewhere.

      I had lost my original Red had died but my first big team is saved onto Pokémon Stadium which gives me a good chuckle anyone I put that in.

    The data I have that I find the most valuable, apparently isn’t owned by me. It’s owned by Google, Microsoft, etc… Shouldn’t I be making money off my browsing habits? They are my browsing habits, after all.

    Well I do have around 200 pictures of my butthole, and if I was held for ransom where those pictures were emailed to either of my grandfathers then I would pay a tidy sum to prevent it. Grandma, mom, dad, step-niece, I don’t care. But if my grandfather might see my butthole, I would happily pay $40m to keep him from seeing my bare back butthole and balls. I don’t want you all to get the wrong idea, I love Gramps, but he has seen enough of my butthole, and I want to stay in his will.

      I have, in fact, gained access to your sphincter vault. I will be emailing these pictures to both of your grandfather’s (and 2 excoworkers). Please send me 40 million dollars to scammy(dot)scam scam(at)notascam(dot)com.

      Thank you.

      The true power move is to send it before the hackers do. Beat them to the punch.

      Only 200? Step up your game. Gramps didn’t sub $5.99 / month OF out of his retirement funds for nothing.

        I wanted to do one of those old school photo montages where I took a picture everyday. It becomes a real chore trying to find time to expose your dump truck. Call it sunken cost fallacy, but my butthole has done a lot for me over the years.

          …Why would you do a photo montage of that?

                I mean, why do we take pictures of our offspring? They’re keepsakes to remember how they’ve grown. When I play them the montage on their death beds they can finally say, “you sure have grown into a giant asshole.”

        My best guess is hemorrhoid followup - what would you do, ask your neighbor to look and comment on your butt?

    Photos of family; family records.

    And a OneNote notebook I have (backuped to OneDrive by default, but also gets backuped to Google Drive daily) in which I try to organize a family tree, with resources, old papers and records, etc.
