I barely got my wife to agree to the one drive, and simply could not convince her that we should get a backup. Our compromise was that I'd add a category to our budget with a year-long goal for a new hard drive. On Friday, I bought my new hard drive after wiping out the category, cashing some old bonds, and borrowing some money from a friend who also uses my server. I wanna fucking cry... permalink fedilink source parent [–] wonderingwanderer@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago I remember my first 2GB flash drive. I thought I had sooo much storage... Years later when I learned I could get an SD card with 32GB, I was like "It comes in 32GB? 🤯" And don't even get me started on my first 1TB hard drive! permalink fedilink source parent
