Nice. I never thought of this as a hobby but I love my NAS too. I like blu-ray a lot, but for TV and some movies I love being able to stream stuff. I would like to get a faster NAS with more storage, as mine is an old Synology (216 or something) that is kind of a pain to interact with. I just moved my Kodi DB to the NAS itself, so now I can resume movies and episodes from anywhere. I don't stream outside the house though, I think that would be way beyond my little box. I don't have any games either, never figured out how to get it working on Kodi!I started a NAS which is basically a home server that I can have all my media on. I have 8tb of storage on it so far. I have like 100 movies and 30 animes on it as well as like every ps1 to every wii game on it. So if im out of town I can just stream stuff even game isos from it and play them remotely or download them from my nas to any device I am on. I love tinkering with tech and this time the nas is a blessing. Its like my own personal digital data vault. I also stopped paying for all my streaming services like spotify, hulu etc cuz I can just pull all my music,movies, and games from it any time I want.
I meant it like data hoarding as my new hobby. Idk y its so fun to me that I have my own giant libary of things lol. And for games I just use a file browser into my nas and pull the rom or iso directly into the system Im emulating it on or if its a pc game backup I just run the exe from it and install it remotely. Its very snappy I installed Skyrim the other day in like 3 minutes and I was in another cityNice. I never thought of this as a hobby but I love my NAS too.

Data hoarding (archiving? lol) is definitely part of it for me too, although I do like to nerd out with connecting up different download services and stuff.I meant it like data hoarding as my new hobby.
