I thought most people just get fast internet and let "the cloud" handle it now days ?

Seems like a lot of work to ultimately not do things not as well as army of engineers focused on this problem full time.

I took the deep dive into tech trying to fix the 2x cd drive someone gave me for my x86 pc. Part of the passion I have for tech is learning and digging deeper, and reading about topics I haven't learned yet to the point where I get a bit of malaise when I'm not learning something new. I say this as I'm repurposing an old pc to a full time nas and learning about zfs pools. There's always a simpler, faster, more expensive solution out there that takes the complexity out of the equation, but part of the fun is the complexity for me.

Most people do (myself included, I just put everything on Backblaze or Google Drive), it's just that HN isn't most people.
