    I guess it’s a matter of perspective, lol. I consider myself something of a data hoarder, and a lot of those guys have stacks and stacks of terabyte drives. I’ve just been slowly accumulating phone pictures for years, and then I finally got fiber internet a couple years ago after having nothing but cellphone hotspots or dialup for the past ~40 years. So I immediately started downloading YouTube channels, lmfao.

    I think it’s only at around 4 TB currently, so that should be ok. Although, I’ll probably just roll with it until I get a new drive or something because I’m lazy. I’ll probably not even swap to Linux until I absolutely have to do so. I do need to set up some sort of redundancy soon though. I’ve got a lot of pictures of my son when he was a baby that I don’t want to lose. I should send them to be printed and put in a photo album or something, like my grandma used to do.
