I’ve seen many people have insane setups to download things automatically and NAS’ with tens of terabytes of capacity, which i don’t understand at all.
I have a 1 tb drive from 2013 of which I’m using ~850GB and most of the space is used by series i have already watched and haven’t bothered to delete.
What are you storing to need so much space and how are you finding so much good content that you actually want to save?
Definitely data hoarding is a big part of it for me. I seem to be instinctively getting myself setup for some sort of doomsday scenario where the Internet is gone, but power still works and I have enough leisure time to binge watch movies lol.
But yeah I also have things like offline Wikipedia and Project Gutenberg with Kiwix, and I don’t pirate books but I do DRM strip them so I can keep a permanent archive and stuff like that.
