    • Pictures: On a folder on a server I syncthing to. I don’t really look at them. I used to have NextCloud for browsing them, but it was slow. I might give Immich a try
    • Music: Youtube and the songs in my head. Sad, but it’s true. I have a large collection I rarely look at. I also have a rockbox I sometimes pick up and play to rejig my tastes.
    • Movies/Tv shows: Kimcartoon was main goto for cartoons, but it’s down now. I use other sites. Movies, usually I find some recommendation on Lemmy and then I go find a nice DCC on an irc server somewhere with irssi. I had JellyFin for a bit, but I just don’t watch movies or series that often.
    • Backups: Some in the cloud. Rest in a big old hard drive. Plug it in once a year, update and tidy it up. Power down, back into cold storage.
