I stopped piraring when I graduated college and streaming started to be wonderful. It is now a bleak hellscape that is more expensive than ever. Time to buy 20tb of hard drives and install Jellyfin I guess :(

Heh, I’m about at capacity with my 20 tb of storage. I think I’m getting myself a Synology NAS for Christmas. I’ll probably spend a couple grand on the device and the drives, but it’s totally worth it to own everything. No regrets.

Amazon gifted me one a loooong time ago. Useful for storage but apps aren’t supported on older models really.

That makes sense. Currently I have my raid split, so 10tb are primary media storage and 10tb are backup. My plan is to set my internal raid to be entirely media storage and use the Synology add just a simple network backup system. This will at least double my storage, good enough for now.

On the bright side, 20TB of hard drives is relatively cheap these days if you buy used. They’ll pay for themselves in a year if you kill the streaming services.
Happy sailing

A new 12tb costs about as much 1 year of netflix premium.

Might as well just rent a server at that point, more memory and performance for basically the same price.

You’re not getting a rented VPS for the cost of a 12tb hdd. You’re not getting any space with a server for that cost.
