hi shoebx, yea I store things locally for fast access and zero downloads time, but beyond that nothing long-term. I mean I suppose some items get back up over and over again, but I watch/consume them over and over again. Kind of like localized streaming. When a video or music thing is "done with", I delete them.

I think NAS are effectively digital storage sheds for the media hoarder, not to piss on someone's library or (as some claim, "ingenious" fle-naming methods) but any video/song(s) I am done with for a long period of time, I delete as they're online one spot or another indefinitely, anyway.

~bartender, red eye coffee. Full day of clubhouse today with a million things to do, ha

Yeah, pretty much. I'm not a huge media hoarder in any regard. I tend to preserve stuff at risk or that I really appreciate so that it can be uploaded somewhere to be consulted once again, outside of my personal data and stuff like that. Storage's cheap and the Internet is way more ephemeral than people believe.

I already saved a bunch of media from being lost, with one channel being watched quite periodically in my circle, so I've already got enough justifications to spend time with my NAS.

Also, tangentially, setting a server up is fun :D
