Thoughts that would have been ridiculous to my 25 year old self: "I only have 2Tb storage in my laptop, I probably could do with 4Tb..."

@andypiper Several folders (the important ones) on my PC are synchrosised with Shares or folders within Shares on NAS systems, on Windooze with an On demand setting where the files are only transferred from the NAS to the disk in the PC when you open te file.
The rest only is the directory listing of files that don't take any space on the internal disk.

@andypiper yet, the thing with storage is that a durable, reliable, possibly write-once, preferably cheap, archival storage medium just doesn't exist somehow. Which is so odd to me. There seems to be just no good answer to "how should I store my decades of photos and videos".
