Perks of server-based hoarding? (alien.top)

I’ve had seedboxes on and off for decades. I always shut it down when I don’t use it for a year or so, copying my files to physical drives first, so I don’t need to maintain physical volumes.

Lately I’m noticing cost of space is getting pricier somehow. Speed is getting cheaper, which used to be the expense in this.

Does anyone else have a modern version of this practice going? I have many TB of content that have been on drives for about 3 years and I came across this sub, got curious again.

Some seedboxes allow you to install media services like jellyfin so your videos that you just pirated can hang out on their server instead of being downloaded to yours

    sounds like you've got a solid system in place! i've been using a mix of cloud storage and external drives to manage my data. it's wild how the cost of space keeps going up, right? definitely makes you reconsider your storage strategy.
