You can connect 2X10TB to a PI, mini PC or similar at home and access your files over a variety of interfaces (SFTP, nextcloud, syncthing, etc) using a vpn such as Tailscale. Why does one need to pay for expensive storage?
- zshrc 3y agoBecause, while you or I might be able to do it, a lot of people don't want to do this. They'd rather have it work and not need to think about it. There's a lot to be said (and pay for) convenience.
- precommunicator 3y agoFor me it's reliability: I don't have to think about power or network outages, hardware failures etc., and after doing sysops at work I don't have to come home and do the same thing on my own stuff or servers. (the only thing I need to care about is backups) It's similar reasons to why people choose to pay for e.g. AWS instead of buying physical servers and colocating them.
