If streaming/downloading isn't ownership then torrenting isn't piracy.
time to start getting back into private trackers and usenets.
Yeah… my wife just asked me how much it would cost to upgrade my NAS storage. I’m proud.
I've been thinking of getting a NAS, but don't know if the cost is worth it in the end.
The monetary cost can be near-zero, you can just use an old PC (like 10 yrs old even). The storage will likely be limited in that case but you can then get a 10+ TB HDD for like 100 bucks
Yeah this is a great wait to get started. My use case has ballooned, so my storage needs are much more.
Unfortunately, I don't have an old PC lying around, if I did it would've definitely been repurposed for something already.
I think it’s worth it just for the sake of having my own storage that isn’t relying on Google, Dropbox, etc… However it can be a bit of a upfront money sink buying all the drives. For example, I have 5x8TB drives in raid6 (~24TB usable) currently and am running out of space. Upgrading them all to 20TB (60TB usable) is gonna cost me $1500-2000.
I self-host Nextcloud, Plex, Jellyfin, and a bunch of other things that leverage my local storage. So for me it’s a bit of a hobby as well.
Lol you're on the other end of the bell curve, spending-wise. There's gotta be cheaper alternatives. Are 20TB drives even cost effective yet? I thought the sweet spot was 12-16TB, but that was months ago.
Yeah I realized I meant to say it is a money sink when you start upgrading.
There are definitely alternatives, I'm looking to make the most out of my 5 bay and really future proof it a bit. I'm also exploring buying or building something bigger and packing it with more cost effective drives.
I have an old workstation that I use as a NAS. I run truenas on it, it's damn near infallible. 40TB JBOD array because I like to live on the edge. Redundancy? wtf is that even.
For me it's borrowing Blu Rays from the library, ripping them with MakeMKV and uploading the finished file to my NAS.
I'd torrent, but even with a VPN my ISP manages to notice. Last time, they put my modem in a "walled garden" and blocked off my internet, and made me agree to a form stating that I deleted the files (which I totally did 😉😉😉)
Where tf do you live? Did you bind your torrent client to your VPN?
