How many hours did it take you to set everything up?

I have a synology NAS, so the basic setup for just cloud storage comes almost out of the box. 2 hours maybe (because I like to tinker, could be faster)

How much did you eventually spend for everything combined?

Around $6000 for me, but it's quite the extravagant setup.

What are the running costs?

I didn't have to replace anything so far, so it's really just the electricity cost (But I don't even know what my total eletricity bill is, so no idea how much the NAS added).

How much space does it gobble up?

270 mm x 300 mm x 340 mm for mine, so really quite compact. Currently sits at the edge of my desk.

How loud is it?

The fan isn't louder than any other desktop PC but you get a lot of HDD noise. Doesn't bother me since I use headphones most of the time, but even without them I could just put it in another room. But you probably don't want to set it up in the bedroom.

Backup/redundancy plan?

I have 3-2-1 backup for my important data (only couple of TB), but no backup for the media library so far. But the raid6 setup with a hot spare should keep it reasonably safe from single disk faliures. I'm thinking about adding a UPS, but our energy grid is really stable and power outages are super rare, so it's not a high priority.

Internet connection good enough (upload speed)?

Yeah, currently only 100mbit up, that's quite limiting but enough for what I use it at the moment. I might be able to upgrade to 1gbps upload later this year, fingers crossed.

108TB on my own hardware.

Sir, this is a Wendy's.

Yes.

When I watched Real Time and LWT last week, both had the usual static intro.

And bring back that static TV intro too. Dumb ass.

It's still there?

If you tell people why you are leaving, at least they can make a decision if they want to change or not.

Why would I care f they "change"? If I want to leave, I'll leave ... what other people do doesn't really change anything about that.

Jana had never meant for the material to end up anywhere other than on OnlyFans;

Maybe you should work out the basics of how the internet works before making a careerer on it.

Yeah, it's so hard to find space ... so let's not go with the most space efficent method!

What is this fancy shit? I had to launch my games with MS DOS commands.

At least some is paying attention to you?

Sure that is one option. Another one is to just keep them. The Brit chose the latter.

Brand Finance, which bills itself as the world’s leading brand valuation consultancy, estimated that the royals contributed 1.77 billion pounds ($1.95bn) to the UK economy in 2017 through a combination of the Crown Estate’s revenues and indirect benefits for tourism, trade, media and the arts.

Pretty sure the French King isn't bringing in any revenue anymore.

Famous last words.

At least someone cares about you?

I'm pretty sure the people calculating the number could distinguish between tourism for castles and the monarachy.
