I’m in Peru watching pirated movies & TV shows on PLEX accessing the PIs at home. I also got a PI in the closed communication bug-out network I’m on.

You could use a usb stick to backup a book. That's just silly.

The only legitimate use for a Pi4 is Retropie. Mine has around 10k games on it :D
I am using it as a depository for all of my books and ideas, not something I want on the web.

100GB for $20. You can't write that many books, dude.
My references alone are 45GB and growing.

You’re lying, wrong, or you’ve written half a million pages of references. :lol:

Sorry, 41GB. Not all things in there are documents either... hence 3D...

Again, if you’re just using it for storage, a flash drive is far simpler.

No, I am not. I am using it as an accessible depository, and a few other instances. I have some SSD that I could use for this purpose alone if I wanted to.

I am using it for a homebrewery as well as a server. There are plenty of things I can and will do with it beyond data storage. Your imagination is lacking.

I can only go on what you said. I don’t care to imagine what else you might be doing with it, and your iron smelter in the basement.

But srsly. Retropie.
