For me it would be a full copy of wikipedia, an offline copy of some maps of where I live, some linux ISO’s, and a lot of entertainment media.

    Just out of curiosity, how much space/effort was that to set up? (Yes, I know I can probably google up like a bajillion resources on this exact thing, but I’m a weirdo and am attempting to bring the (non-toxic/shitty) social back to social media)

    I’ve been considering setting myself up a little NAS server since I finally dumped Spotify and am considering doing the same with video streaming too (besides Tubi, anyway), but having one just for mp3/light video streaming seems like a bit of a waste and having local repos of useful sites might be a fun side project to help justify it to myself lol

      For the Wikipedia part, it’s surprisingly simple. I just used Kiwix and grabbed a copy, it’s only about 100gb or so. You can also use it to get offline copies of other stuff, like Project Gutenberg.

      I went with a Synology NAS (I know, the foss crowd will probably crucify me) which really keeps the setup effort to a minimum. You put in the HDDs, setup your pool/volume, install Plex (or jellyfin), upload your media and you’re basically good to go.

      I’m using emby for music, audiobooks, tv, and movies. You can also do picture backup/sync if you want. I am running it in a docker on my unraid server.
