if you haven't already spend some time combing through key videos on youtube and save them locally. you can get a high capacity 2 disk + simple raid 1 enclosure for like $400 total. then upload vids to other sites occasionally

I have a hard time buying a new 4tb drive every couple months. I have dozens now. I'd love to set up a server with a bunch of FreeNAS boxes attached. FreeNAS is better than raids, whether built yourself or bought prefab.

Our last chance against the technocratic corporatocracy, IMO:

It's my profoundly strong opinion that EVERYONE should have at least one server in their home, like any other appliance. Whether they maintain it themselves or not, that is how we can decentralize the cloud and information can remain free.

One of the biggest hurdles is creating rewards systems for those who host and those who share and those who make. How can you compete with the "free" cloud?
