Managing data is hard. Just creating videos for this channel, I generate two-dozen Terabytes of videos per year, and all of it needs to be managed, backed up, secure, and accessible. And rather than relying on proprietary software to make it happen, I instead use a couple key features in TrueNAS to automate everything from backups to purging old data.
But first... What am I drinking???
