Edit: so it turns out that every hobby can be expensive if you do it long enough.

Also I love how you talk about your hobby as some addicts.

I bought myself a raspberry pi for my birthday a few years ago.

I now have thousands of dollars in hardware sitting in a server rack in my office. Whoops.

A single 1TB drive should be enough for my Plex server, I said.

123TB isn't enough, I need more 18TB hard drives, I said.

Oh my God.... I'm running a jellyfin with 8TB.... Don't get me wrong I want more and will eventually figure out how to do it cheaper but that's so impressive
