Comment *BEEEEP* FAIL! (Score 5, Informative) 155

from the faq:
Q.Can I search the Hotfile server for certain files?
A. No. Hotfile protects the privacy of our users. Only the person storing a file on Hotfile gets the download link. That person decides who should have access to the link. A file can only be downloaded if the download link details are known.

it should read:

A. Yes. Hotfile do not protect the privacy of our users. All major Hollywood Companies get acces to your download link. These companys decides who should have access to the link. They can download and look at your private files as they wish. They can choose to delete your files.

Comment Checksums (Score 1) 680

I can't believe nobody uses checksums...

For raw files, I add checksums (an md5sums text file in every image folder) right after importing the images from the flash card.

Jpegs tend to get changes in the exif data, so I add the checksums for those after the editing phase.

This makes it easy to verify the backups, since the md5 files get backed up, too.

In case of a corrupted file, I can hopefully find a good copy om my nearline backup HD, my NAS hidden in a bookshelf, or an offsite USB disk.
