They are fake. I'm not that cool.

You should upload your old videos to a youtube channel

Your abs?

Don’t ever get tattoos

Please don't get a real one!🙏😇

Hahahah

came over after matt downsized his harddrives... what a milestone

how do you organize your drives (i notice you have a letter/number system)? what's your best method/way to organize your hard drives and files? which drives are best for reliability? TIA!

My only justification for keeping most of my digital files is the super egotistical presumption that one I will be incredibly successful and famous and they will need to do a documentary or study of my works, and so they will need all these documents to help with creating these works and studies.
Yeah, I know. You don't have to tell me lol
The reasonable justification is: I've yet to build my website and YouTube, and I will want to create segments where I show some of my old work. Not only show my progression, but also show how I would approach the same subject matter now in my later stages; whether it be photography editing or shooting, filmmaking, or music ideas. That could be a huge segment I do, and that could offer a lot of value to many people.

Loved Matt's abilities to procure that footage 😂

You better order additionnal cables soon since cables fail too, not only hard drives

Why don't just take a Amazon account. Setup an S3 envoirement and put all your data on there. It's cheap (if you don't keep uploading and downloading every second) and you don't have to put everything in the closet. Hard drives etc. is something I don't have. I like to have stuff in the cloud and keep my real life clean.

make a server with linus tech tips

Noticed Matt's tattoo*

На русском он звучит круче )). Классные видео, смотрю каждый день .

Matt, this is the history of your growth as an artist and profissional. There's nothing wrong about keeping those. Actually, I say you SHOULD keep them: throwing those beautiful years of hard work away would be equal to an artist scrapping all their hard work of music production, or a HQ maker putting his/her copies of every single volume on the trash bin.
Keep it. It's the proof of your growth. One day, with your ever increasing fame, you may even sell them for some millions if you really, really grow tired of them. But even so, I would tell you to keep your live past at hand.

GET THE DAMM TATTOOS WHILE YOU ARE STILL YOUNG AND BEAUTIFUL!!!
GO GOR IT SWEETHEART!
YOU ARE THE ONE THAT MATTERS THE MOST HERE AND NOW!!!
MAKE YOURSELF YOUR OWN PRIORITY
HERE AND NOW!
BLESSINGS AND BLESSINGS
LOVE AND LIGHT!😘♥️👍

Any chance you can go over your file system and naming to stay organized and even be able to find that footage at all?

im super late but YES, GET TATTOOS!! i only have one but theyre so nice :) having art on your body is fun!

This is Netflix level videos

Honestly, I've saved and collected all my old client videos, too, but if someone asked me for an old project, I'd have no clue where to look. 😫

Good video - keep the tattoos temporary.

Matt, excellent video on hoarding! I would love a video on how you create folders for projects.
Research, videos, exports etc
You did a video for sorting emails, I would love if you could help on this one? Thank you :)

Just compress all the videos to 1080p or so... That'll help you reduce the number of harddrives

Linus needs to help you...

Hard drives can degrade over time, look if you can back them up on google (1080p only, with tiny bit of compression) photos for free!

you can put all on cloud and re-use those hard-drives.

Somethings are good to hoard!👍 Some of the things u hoard do come in handy in case of emergencies!👍 That's why I don't throw away everything that seems old & useless. Like Matt, I hoard old cords & chargers & they do come in handy! 😎👍😁

Trying to become a minimalist over here. It’s been quite a journey

I enjoy our videos so much. I watch them to learn and gain confidence in my own creativity. Thank you!

Seems like you use a storage servers. Contact Linus Tech Tips. He has helped a lot other creators with the same. Or maybe you could do it yourself

Hey Matt! Random question but how tall are you?

Lol I do the same thing haha😂

You cannot let go. But in the back of your mind you know that data has already started decaying.

Please subscribe this channel also..I will also subscribe back

❤️❤️❤️

Are those drives backed up in another off-site location? :P

You never stop to motivate me with your vids even though my career from ur content is way different. You are one of my fav YouTubers❤️

Sir can you make a video about digital decluttering regarding to digital files and Collection like photos, movies, music and documents. I am a bit Digital Hoarder and I need help. Hope you can help me with your Tips.

Dude if that’s your idea of hoarding, you truly are a minimalist.

I'm a digital hoarder as well, and I'm not even don't even make movies

Next video : Linus tech tips found hiding in my house.

Call LinusTechTips Matt!!

I need to hoard a little more. Which hard drives are the best for Macs?

The tattoos look really cool, tho hahaha :)

Thats because shitty apple notebooks have like 0 ports and they are changing standards every 2 years. On every other normal computer you have all the ports

Great story about the storage drives and the message about giving yourself a break. Top video Matt.

My Brain : Everything is normal , Matt always had tattoos on his arm.

Give LinusTechTips a call, he could help you setup a server for all that beautiful data of yours!

the message at the end of this video was something i really needed to hear right now. thank you.

Hi Matt, I think keeping what is related to your passion its totally fine.

Love this video, very good vibes 🌞

This YouTube thing may not be forever. Your art should be archived.

I'm glad I wasn't the only one to notice that tattoo lmao

6:00 what you doing under stat desk, I know I know your bumping your foot lol

Hit like if you are here to see his biceps

GET A LIFE GUYS

I’ve been wondering, when you do your laundry do you have absolutely nothing in your wardrobe? Like do you use every single piece of clothing?

Dude.. You need to ask linustechtips for a better storage solution. Those drives could fail and you could lose your projects

You need the help of big Linus!

Every video of yours contains at least one sentence that helps me with my current situation.

OMG what happened to your minimalist bicep! and uh, forearm?

New Subbed😊

We actually did a video recently called "10 Things Filmmakers Should Do While Working From Home" which includes how we have archived and backed up about 8 years worth of video project files and footage (for over 2000 video projects) to save space without needing tons of external hard drives. If you're interested, feel free to give it a watch!

you should become an actor

There's something about your videos that make my day. The authenticity of every video is relatable. Thank you for all that you do Matt.

Barley!!

Try to use the fake one. They look natural and we can sometimes request to see your bicep without them.

I horde pictures, and other things which I know is there but I have jet to learn to see (the can't see the forest for the trees, reversed)

thanks bro u always give me the right message :)

06:00 oh watch your hands matt..

Can't wait for you to have an actual tattoo!!

Hello,Matt! I'm from russian channel which translate your videos-KramartyTV and we ask you : don't close this channel please! Example: I don't know english perfectly and your english speak is very hard for me. I want to watch and use your minimalist's skills and improve my life with help of your videos. Please. We (russian comminity) ask you!
People! We need your help and write our ask in comments under his videos
This channel is on the verge of a copyright strike

Hey Matt, new fan, have seen your videos sometime but search your name here bc of your podcast.
Just wonder why you stop tgus and when will you bring that back?

I would definitely transfer those files to a new large archival drive as the data may not be accessible in time due to age. Great video!

Matt how did you get dark mode on our (g)old 2014 Macbook?

Every minimalist has a secret hoarding, but you're the only one who admit it

For real those tattoos look really good

Tattoos? Sorry Matt, they don’t look cool 🙄

Thank you🌹

What's the max storage you got in one of those hard drives?

Hahaha! Glad you brought up the tattoo thing cuz I was definitely distracted by them as soon as I saw them! 🤣🤣🤣 so now I’ve gotta go back, rewatch and pay attention to your video! 😳🤭😬😜

Beware of tattoos! You might hoard them too!
You know when you start but never when to stop. ;)

I’m so glad I found your channel. After living a life of excess - what can I say, I’m an opera singer - this pandemic continues to illuminate how much I am craving a minimalist lifestyle. I also have realized that I have been living too much in the future, waiting for something to happen. This video has been so illuminating on the power of not only living in the present and actually processing the now, but also creating that track record to actually pave the road forward. I wish I had a closet of hard drives to reflect on. Starting today!

I've been watching your videos for a long time and it's nice to observe the ups and downs you've, the improvement you are having. And now I am always excited to watch a new video of yours. Keep it up

Totally down for you getting real tattoos!

Hey Matt, I love your videos! I was wondering how you find your passion in film making? I just got free from my family "requirements" to tackle the future (like must get into the college, must take science course, etc.), but now I'm totally in the dark because I don't know anymore what I want to do. Do you have any advice about that?

Don’t get tats! It’s so common! Or choose them wisely!

Hey man, you have inspired me start minimalism.
Guide me how do I start.What to read,what to see, what to know, The basics and all !

Honest words....

I have the same issue. If you get rid of it, it's never coming back.

I don’t think you realize how much I needed this video, I just graduated high school and I took myself way too seriously but I did put everything I had into the work I did, or at least I worried my whole soul into the work I tried to do. Thank you I’ve had the realization now that I’m done that it’s gonna be OK even though I don’t have my dream job right now, life will work out. Or it won’t🤷‍♀️

New challenge: I slept on the ground for a month

Im like u 🤣

I waited the whole damn video to hear about those tattoos. I thought you were going to use them to humor us like “so I threw them all away and got tattoos of them”

Lesson: every time you upgrade your computer, make sure you can access the files in your archive. ;)

I feel crazy because I honestly thought that he had tattoos this whole time...Mandela effect

Matt, please please please back up that footage properly somewhere! Or, at least back up the really important bits of it! A fire, or that shelf collapsing, and all that hard work is going to be gone

I wish I could hoard money!

Two questions - how did you know which hard drive that file was on (what’s your file tracking system) and are those temporary tattoos from Tattly?

I know you’re mostly keeping the disks for sentimental reasons, but if you do wanna be able to get that data in ten years time you’re gonna want some back ups.

Mattoo

What happened to your moustache? It was so dope

I just started recording an online course for music editing. How do you pace yourself but still keep it engaging? I’m gasping for air haha

Matt, can I get a few drives?? Lmaooo
