I just wanted to thank this community for the many before it where I learned the way. I'm new to lemmy/fediverse but i have been lurking among the other sailors for over 10 years and have amassed a 25 TB library of content for my family and I. I started on a repurposed core2duo workstation running a headless xbmcbuntu install with a forced dns release every hour to a fully automated system on a dedicated server with redundancy on jbod. This project/habit/way of life has been with me through being single then married, through college text book treasures and now as a father and i can provide everyone with the content they want without 20 subscriptions. The people in this place and the many like it are heros. Thank you.
