Set a man's storage devices on fire, and he'll remember to 3-2-1 backup for the rest of their life
huh. I could use 16TB of storage... maybe I should get into this 'homelab' thing

I would say that !selfhosted@lemmy.world is leaking, but I think most of the communities here tend to leak into each other anyway

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.
Only 16? Rookie numbers.
Teach him how to beegfs and he will never run out of storage space again.

Self hosted Private cloud is even easier.
I would love to host my files physically!
Ok but like aside from a backup of Wikipedia what are you storing that is that big
Arrrr, I won't be sharin me plunders with the likes of ye land lubber.
wikipedia is suprisingly small, actually. like under half a terabyte iirc.
I think most of the old laptops I’ve collected are sata.
