But seriously I probably have close to 100 TB of music, TV shows, movies, books, audiobooks, pictures, 3d models, magazines, etc.

I was thinking an electric fence energizer.

This would be a bitch to have to rebuild in a raid array. At some point a drive can get TOO big. And this is looking to cross that line.

I don’t know… intelligent, powerful women are kinda sexy…

Doing it once… how cute. You can always tell when someone only deals with enterprise level networking equipment. I’m not being critical, just realistic. Anything like this will eventually break. And in the weirdest ways imaginable.

It’s because they can barely pay rent.

I mean I get what you’re saying. And certain things I really do want in my house. But at this point I feel like we disagree on a definition which is just kind of silly. As someone else said that used the distinction of home-hosted and self-hosted. I like being in control of my stuff and I think we both agree on that.

I am running the software. I set it up. I maintain it. I can change it to whatever I want. It is therefore self-hosted.

Thank you. I was thinking the same thing. Some things it makes sense to host in your home. Things like large media, home automation, etc. Some things it doesn’t. Like DNS, service that require large amounts of egress (most home internet is very asymmetric), anything with a more public face.

Generally it boils down to privacy and reliability. If it’s private, keep it home. If it needs more reliability, put it on a VPS.

My home hardware is just not reliable enough to host something critical. I have redundant systems but it might take a bit to get stuff back.

This idea of it not being self hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.

This is a war crime. A very very funny war crime.

TIL 😀

Sometimes they do. Viagra was originally a heart medication that they figured out did something else.
