We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Checksum file for every folder/file automatically? (alien.top)

I'm using Windows HashCheck Shell Extension and it works by right clicking a file/folder and creating a checksum file for the entire file. The issue with this is this is manually done and that if I try to make a checksum for a large number of files at once, it lumps it all together into ONE checksum file whereas I would like multiple smaller checksum files for every folder (so checking also doesn't take forever and that I dont have to create new checksum files since more files within the checksum means changes more likely to happen and a new file is needed to be made).
