I’m wondering how to effectively keep track of the data I hoard. I’m almost at 80TB and currently use very basic folders structure to keep track of my data. I’m looking for something like a full text index maybe even a like a search engine for local data? Is there such a tool?

        To answer your question, I search my (albeit smaller) amount of data with Kiwix if it’s a zim file, if not, the search function in Nautilus allows me to search the contents of text files.

    I just organize it properly in a folder structure that makes sense to me. No need to do anything more complicated if you’re organized.

      I do this too, and avoid as much as possible having folders within folders, eg;
      me-photos
      me-music
      me-documents
      john-photos
      john-music
      work-documents
      work-letter-templates

      And so on. Sort by name.

    Use some kind of hierarchical folder-structure like the Usenet does.
    Something like: unix.desktop.theming for all your desktop ricing/theming stuff, unix.lx.debian.doc for debian documentation, win.win10.winget for everything related to winget on windows 10, rl.bureau.finances for your finances, accounting, etc. …

    You can use the Browser Extension “QuickCut” to save your bookmarks in folders. Its really helpful when you work on a bigger project and have all the documentation weblinks at hand.
