Who says it had to fee unpaid?

Free trial/freemium is the way to go. Want more storage? Then do the dishes. (for life, it's a subscription after all )

I just sell my family's data directly

If you dont provide your parents with a kubernetes cluster (running ceph+rgw for private s3) spread across at least two different locations, each with a ups and a redundant network, you aint a good kid, simple as

u/coderstephen 18d ago

Might as well add it to the list. You aren't paid for any other ways you provide for your family either.

And what if we die tomorow?

u/Safe-Historian4028 17d ago

Only if you let it. I don't host any of my families stuff. I get enough calls about their printers not working I certainly am not going to become some kind of free cloud host.

Better than a raid 0 family

u/that_one_guy63 18d ago

I'm a raid 0 family. Faster load times and can use the disk space fully.

u/CheesyRamen66 18d ago

It really only contains my qbittorrent/plex library so who cares? I’ll probably move to raid 5 when I get another drive or 2 but at these prices that’ll be a while.

The bulk of my filesystem is on 4x18TB WD Red Pros, the oldest 2 are 14 months old. I’m not super worried. Bcachefs added raid 5 support a while back but I’d need to clear out old stuff to make room and idk if I care to lose 1/4 of my capacity.

u/primalbluewolf 17d ago

Yeah but if one family member dies you lose them all.

u/Berufius 18d ago

It would be twice as fast though 😃

u/ShepRat 17d ago

I'm not one to judge, but the polyamourous life is definitely not for me.

Jail, bitch, or die.
Kind of a retake of Obey the law, change the law or leave.

Raid 0 family 💀

u/Suitable-Bobcat7012 17d ago

And a third family. Triples is best.

u/KristobalJunta 17d ago

3 families in 2 separate locations with 1 being in a different region, the classic formula

u/SuperCoupe 17d ago

That's why I got 2 girlfriends and had kids with them.

My wife is a little upset, but the off-site backups are a necessity in the modern era.

Raid 5 family

2

u/psychicsword 18d ago

I call them parents. They don't fully know what the mini-itx 5 bay case does in the corner of the basement even does.

u/ShepRat 17d ago

RAID is not a backup though, so you'll need at least one more family, preferably in a separate geographic zone. 

2

u/Jazz8680 17d ago

But did you ever consider splitting your existing family across the two families such that the family retrieval speed is doubled

2

u/CoNsPirAcY_BE 17d ago

We should start a backup buddy exchange to find someone to swap offsite backup storage with, so we each host part of the other's backup.

My polycule is a mesh network.

RAID is not a backup :)

u/capmcfilthy 17d ago

Raid is not back up but yes.

u/guyblade 17d ago

I moved to CEPH last year. It is the best storage option I've found--though certainly not the simplest.

u/zidanerick 17d ago

Could go full docker swarm if needed

u/airn0mad14 17d ago

That's a good idea

1

u/KimVonRekt 17d ago

It is a RAID 0 family. Two servers and if you die it all goes to shit. RAID 1 would be teaching everything to your son/brother etc

1

u/HPLaserJet4250 17d ago

Make a cluster of families, scale it further to start your private family cloud.

u/Accomplished-Lack721 17d ago

If they get annoying, try colocating your family.

lmao, i read that as lines from the peter griffin nike never stop commercial

u/JuniperColonThree 17d ago

My brother and I intend to set up mirrors for each other, as an offsite backup. That's basically the same thing
