      Store one AAAA game. Ubisoft seems to have started making those.

    Should’ve added that I don’t use this laptop for gaming. I also don’t store multiple AAA games in parallel. But I get your point.

  Games eat up my SSD at an alarming rate. I could see myself using several TB easily.

    My steam deck typically has one big game installed at a time. At this point, I just want to finish baldurs gate 3 so I can delete it and put on some other games.

  Simple things. Lemmy, for instance, has grown to ~60GB since June las year. And that’s just the db and federated media since I don’t really havr any uploads. The big instancea are easily into the hundreds od gigs - I know lemmy.ca had over 300GB of media alone last autumn.

  On a more consumer level - high quality 4k media eats up storage pretty fast. The phones taking pictures and video in higher and higher quality - space requirements will only ever go up.

    Lemmy federates media other than text?

    source

    • Illecors@lemmy.cafe ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Sort of. If you check the url of thumbnail images - they’ll all be from your local instance.

      Some images are also federated. Take this post, for example. The link is to lemmy.world, but the thumbnail and image itself are served by lemmy.cafe.

      I’ve never really delved into what exactly decides whether to federate a particular bit of content or not, but there’s definitely more than just text being stored.

        Curious. That was not the case when I started using lemmy. It was page after page of thumbnails served by remote instances, showing up as empty frames since I block off-site media.

        Since you mentioned it, though, I just checked: some of the images from remote posts are now showing up, since they’re hosted by my local instance.

        This is an encouraging trend for users who care about privacy (and admins who don’t want their servers bearing the load of remote users). I wonder if it’s a configuration change that makes the difference, or a new feature in recent lemmy versions.

  that’s for enterprise use; also plenty of uses in a data-driven world to run predictive models on.

  Clearly you are not a data hoarder

    Not at all, but I see that lots of Lemmy users are into self-hosting and like to set up their own media boxes, where I can see how large SSDs could come in handy.
