Data Hoarder 💾

  • Fleet: 6–10 devices · More than 50 TB
  • Motivation: Fun / the hobby itself, Customization & full control, Independence from Big Tech & subscriptions
  • My MVPs: Immich, PeerTube, Ghost, Actual Budget, Home Assistant

I create videos for YouTube/PeerTube and backup all of the raw footage. The actual storage count is currently 130TB in my main NAS with about 250TB for an offsite cold storage backup (as most of my data doesn’t change much) and on-site live-ish backup. I also have the benefit of being able to get reputable used commercial grade HDDs from work for $10/TB, even right now, it makes it way too easy. Shameless plug of my PeerTube instance: joeltube.com or @JoelKalich on YouTube.
