Well, I have 10 Tb of pirated digital content sitting safely at my own home, so I would say yes, yes I do own a lot of digital stuff.
Right there with you buddy, 13TB and growing. Self hosted media servers are the best.
Those are rookie numbers. Need to start getting entire TV shows in 4k and things you've seen previously but may want to watch again in the future quickly and easily.
Personally can't justify many series in 4k, some of the ones I have only ever got SD releases (DVD at best) but there are a few I can justify 4K for. Mainly very cinematic shows such as The Mandelorian or The Last of Us. As long as they have subtitles in the other shows and are available in their best original release resolution it's fine for me.
For example if the original Doctor Who series had a 4K release for it's entirety it would probably be my entire server lol. 693 episodes in 480p is almost 300GB.
Y'all are chumps.
I got 6TB SSD and 16TB HDD.
But I guess it's less than half full so... Idk, maybe Im the chump with too much headroom.
Sitting on 25.2tb of actual media with 7.25tb free. 4k movies and 34k episodes.
Damn, those are some high resolution episodes.
If I can figure out a way to make my next server upgrade a tax write off, I'll flex back.
What media are we talking about? Movies? Porn?
It's probably the entire database of World Cup matches (including qualifier matches), plus the entire database of entries to the Eurovision Song Contest (including those of national finals), in addition to every single thing that happened at the 'Lympic Games. All in glorious 8K quality (yes, everything got upscaled by world class upscaling software).
Just general movies+tv shows.
It started as a classic Disney film collection and has expanded quite dramatically over the last 7ish years.
Now a days I've got a half a dozen users feeding requests into Ombi along with a bunch of imdb lists being monitored; growing the library entirely automatically.
/edit: who am I kidding, it's just hundreds of copies of one man one jar with different filters applied...
They're my bytes, and I'll put them in whatever order I wish, thank you very much.
Torrent that Shit so that it can live forever
I do 😉
