25 Gigabit Linux internet router PC build

I run just plex and pi hole. Money I save with plex that I don’t need a million different services and having no ads at home is well worth the price. One day my friends went out and I couldn’t go. They got all drunk and shared how much they rely on my plex and by the time I woke up I had close to $1k in PayPal and a note that said “for an upgrade and your time” so honestly I probably making out on the deal. Went from a haswell pentium to a ninth gen i3. 8 gigs to 16. SSD for the root drive. 8 TB staging server before going to google drive. $20 a month for unlimited google drive is way more than the power to run the server. But I have about 80TB on there. Can’t store that for less than $20 a month no matter how you slice it.

I've been looking at the offers of big providers and the average seems to be pretty much standard: 2 TB for $10/month. All across Dropbox, Google, Apple, even Microsoft (the individual plan) are in the same ballpark.

I've been using pcloud which has a lifetime plan which is a pretty good deal. I recommend waiting until black friday or August 1 (Swiss national day; they're a CH-based company) when they severely drop the price.

I’ve read that it costs them $2 to store a single TB a month. Which makes sense. $4 -> $10 is a reasonable markup. I store 80 TB for $20. They lose money on me.

Google drive enterprise for $20 a month for unlimited is the best I’ve found. Rclone and encfs to mount and send the content. Almost 0 issues.

sounds intriguing for backup purposes. I was not able to find this pricing online (without contacting sales), would you have a link for this?

Does Google check or care what is on there? That would make me nervous.

I use encfs. Big scary warning on Ubuntu when you install it that it’s not 100% fool proof but for storing tv and movies in the cloud I think it’s fine. Best part is it’s totally seemless on my end. Uploads encrypted and my view is unencrypted.

bwahahaha, so they can't even hash similar common files and save the storage across users.
