I've been buying used 12tb HGST from Amazon for $80.

Im the one that was paying for Netflix for my family, but the password crack down motivated me to learn how to build a server and go full arrs. They had a good thing going, but now that $26 a month will be used to buy hdds.
Lol yeh but it's partially funded by money saved from canceled subscriptions.
I'm a noob, I started 2 months ago with immich and tailscale. Now I have an unraid server, it's a slippery slope.
Criticism from people who never watched a star wars movie
I paid $1000 for books my first semester of college back in 2007. I felt so burnt and violated I never bought another textbook. I made it through the rest of undergrad, a masters, and a PhD in biochemistry by checking out books from the library, borrowing textbooks from friends, and going sailing. When I taught I made it a point to teach my students about all the ways they can avoid becoming a victim like myself.
If your good at something, never do it for free
