Ok but like aside from a backup of Wikipedia what are you storing that is that big
wikipedia is suprisingly small, actually. like under half a terabyte iirc.
Arrrr, I won’t be sharin me plunders with the likes of ye land lubber.

huh. I could use 16TB of storage… maybe I should get into this ‘homelab’ thing
Famous last words

Only 16? Rookie numbers.
I’m in the unfortunate phase of my “homelab” where I have about 300TB of storage spread amongst 3 continents. Civilization will fail before I lose all of my data.
Earth is our home.
Look at Mr. Svalbard Global Seed Storage over here.

I would say that !selfhosted@lemmy.world is leaking, but I think most of the communities here tend to leak into each other anyway
Tbf, that community is one of the most active that isn’t news or memes.
I would love to host my files physically!
I saw some short a out people harvesting them from old modems.
Old cable TV and satellite boxes often have hard drives, I think I used to find 500gb drives in there. But they have TONS of usage. I think I paid $1-2 for them.
Ayuo, i have a great time scavenging fetch boxes from hard rubbish. Lowest sized drive in those is 1tb
Yeah, old DVR boxes were pretty fantastic when you just needed a lot of storage. They were one of the few places you could reliably find 1TB drives, back when those were still fairly new and expensive.
Self hosted Private cloud is even easier.
Teach him how to beegfs and he will never run out of storage space again.
