How much "data" do you personally have? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Data as in information (photos, contacts, messages, etc...), not your mobile internet allowance.

I personally just have photos and a few phone numbers that I can remember, probably around 10-15 GB including a few 4K videos. I have like maybe 20 GB of apps but they are re-downloadable so it doesn't really count for me. As for PC, I rarely use computers these days, too tired and I'd rather lie down and stare at my phone instead, so I'm not even gonna count my PC data. How much data do you have and whats your total combined storage of all your drives?

Edit: Damn, some people got so much stuff! I personally am relying on faith that the internet and civilization doesn't collapse so I download stuff whenever I want to watch them and delete them when I'm done with them. Y'all got doomsday bunkers planned out! 😆

50 TB on a network attached storage appliance across 8 drives, probably 200-400 GB across two laptop internal drives, and 500 GB or so of games on a Framework expansion card.

I may have a problem. Something something r/datahoarder something something.

I crossed the 110TB line not too long ago. Don't worry, if all of your primary data is still in one enclosure you're still fine.

If you find yourself building out racks then it's time for an intervention. That's what my friends did with me and they failed

I've found the solution to this problem is to not have friends.

Aren't several selfhosted chatbots friends?
