Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

Yeah…. I think I’ll still need to pick up some drives this year, but I might do less robust of a build out
I've switched over to one disk redundancy to stretch out my spinning rust. If SSDs come down just a little bit more it'll be worth it to replace my array. Just hoping two drives doesn't die until then.
