I am specifically asking about software and needed libraries, not stuff like Wikipedia or the writings of Ernest Hemmingway.
To keep people from archiving all of github on thousands of shucked external hard drives cobbled together all Frankenstein-y to create a postapocalyptic data center assume a ~1TB storage limitation. Though I’m sure that person exists here on Lemmy somewhere :D
That’s bonkers! How much physical space does your setup take? A room? A house?
I recently bought a 2U nas with 12 bays. 6x20T disks at the moment, but with 12 disks it could be configured as a single 200T array.
20TB hard drives are around $300/each. 12 gets you there with excellent redundancy built in.
Toss them in one of these and you have 200TB, with redundancy and room to grow.
Not cheap to do, but the above would only run about 5-6k.
I have 90tb and it sits on a shelf 6’ up in my laundry room (4x in server router/4x in external nas usb-c enclosure)
