I ordered all my stuff for my server right before the pandemic stuff hit. It has pretty nice specs, but it's no super computer. The problem is that I keep running out of storage. I'm now up to nearly 70tb.

I dont need a great computer, a i5 is good enough for what I do, and 4gb ram is good enough too, maybe 8gb just in case, browsers are pretty bloated these days
I use a $40 thinkpad I got off a classified website, erased the windows 7 it had and installed Debian GNU/Linux
The only thing that sucks is the GPU, I can't play the psx/ps2 games I'd like to play like final fantasy tactics or final fantasy 10
I even learned groff its a word processor from the 70s, its a lot like LaTeX it uses like 0 ram to run, just a notepad and a terminal
And for a notepad I used Vim, which also is a wordpad from the 70s and uses 0 ram lol
The only thing intensive I use is Firefox I think, that can eat a couple GB ram

That's a lot of porn.

Yeah that's pretty abnormal. I was gonna make a joke about modeling climate change or mapping distant planets but I literally can't imagine what craven bullshit you're doing that eats up 70 TB. Are you archiving footage from hundreds of hidden cameras or do you have ALL the porn??

My wife is an animal. There isn't a porn she hasn't seen.
For my business I collect a lot of video, but it also serves movies, TV, etc.. My security cameras run at around 2tb just recording 24 hours a day for 30 day rotations.
With modern video quality it is pretty easy to get a 20gb movie, and if you want something that is truly HD expect like 60gb. That adds up pretty quick.

I was going to guess uncompressed video. That shit eats up the storage hard. But yeah, that 4k video with HDR and Dolby Atmos consumes some storage too.

It's not the browsers themselves that are bloated. The problem is that so many websites are not optimized and have so many apps and shit on their websites that the websites are slow.

Why the hell would you use vim as a notepad gopher? It's great for editing PHP or XML files but as a word pad it sucks balls. Even the bog standard version of vim that ships with Debian is crippleware anyway.
Kate is part of Debian and is a capable word pad. Try that dude. It'll bring you right up to 90's tech digi scribbling.

Yeah I think 2007 was probably the best version there was too. 2016 started to become too convoluted and in testing now on 2021 it's all fk'd up man. They've moved all the deckchairs around on the Titanic, but it can't hide the fact it's going down in usability.

I don't mind the newest versions, in fact current Excel I think is the best it has ever been.
The OSX versions are always a step ahead of Windows versions. For example OSX Outlook is way better than Windows Outlook, currently.

Every office revision they take some function I use daily, and shunt it off to die nested under 5 clicks in some non obvious menu. It fucking makes me insane.
