I am specifically asking about software and needed libraries, not stuff like Wikipedia or the writings of Ernest Hemmingway.

To keep people from archiving all of github on thousands of shucked external hard drives cobbled together all Frankenstein-y to create a postapocalyptic data center assume a ~1TB storage limitation. Though I'm sure that person exists here on Lemmy somewhere :D

I shall open a pub 🍺🍺🍺

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

Not an epub, unless you saved a copy of Calibre!

I'll be at the Winchester, having a nice cold pint and waiting for this all to blow over.

emulators, keep gaming alive

[–] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I keep a raspberry pi dedicated just to have NES/SNES/etc emulators via the "retropie" distro. I have thousands of ROMs that I can plug into any TV with HDMI and SNES/NES USB controllers for it. $100 for a full raspi kit to have full access to anything just by copying some files over to a microsd card. Can't remember controller cost but that's kind of a given requirement.

My home servers time to shine

Everyone shitting on me for having a nas with ~ 200tb of storage and tape backups would finally have to eat shit because I’d have the only streaming service in town

I got enough anime to make crunchy roll blush, I have something like 3,000 series of manga and like 8,000 books in my komga server, I got non weeb shit. I archive tons of webpages and youtube channels, terabytes of music, etc.

In a situation like this I could even throw a lemmy instance on it or something. I don’t do that now but I could

Also all my anime has dubs stripped out to save space and the majority of my manga is in Japanese. θ‹±θͺžγ—か話せγͺいε₯΄γ‚‰γ―γ‚―γ‚½γγ‚‰γˆ

So I eschew your 1tb limitation. I have seen this scenario coming. I planned for it. I’m ready for it. There are others like me on lemmy in the home server page, plus if you look on the truenas, proxmox, unraid, etc forums you’ll find even more

That's bonkers! How much physical space does your setup take? A room? A house?

I recently bought a 2U nas with 12 bays. 6x20T disks at the moment, but with 12 disks it could be configured as a single 200T array.
