Dude. Play Death Stranding with compatibility enabled to use proton and you’re in business. You’ll be playing for a looooong time exploring an incredible landscape.
Edit: I didn’t realize this was the piracy community. I immediately assumed you would use Steam. My bad.
But if you can get it to work with proton for real, it’s worth it.
Thanks for the reccomend. Sounds like my kind of vibe. A lot of things do work with proton, some don’t. I also do buy some games, just rather would test them out if they work at all before i commit this way.
Most people just use a NAS (self built or one of the pre-built types) & stuff a bunch of hard drives into it. Or just stuff a bunch of hard drives into their desktop(s).
Sure there are people outfitting rack(s) of server(s) but generally that’s just the truly dedicated people going that route.
For what it’s worth hard drives nowadays go up to ~22TB so your 34TB example would only need two massive hard drives. A compact NAS or small desktop would work fine for that example.
Have a Synology DS218+ with 2x 14TB in raid 1. So just 14TB total capacity one drive redundancy. I have over 500 movies a bunch of series and it’s like… 4tb full or something?
It’ll be slow as hell or bog down the connection. I know because I tried. Sometimes networks will also do tricks to block or filter torrenting though direct/unproxied connections. Usually though it’ll just be very slow.
I use an HP micro server gen 8 running truenas scale. Upgraded the memory to 16gb and upgraded the processor as well. 4bays with 14TB Seagate exos drives. Holds everything I’ll ever need for a long while.
There used to be one called Turntable.fm, but it shut down a while ago. Not a playlist, but like a live DJ thing. Maybe there’s something like that around.
Surprisingly, I’m going to make my money back quick. I was previously using older Supermicro machines and small hard drives that used a ton of power. This thing let me downsize power-wise (like a LOT), and I doubled my total capacity.
I think most people who have a large collection of movies have a NAS to store everything. I built mine with leftover PC parts after upgrading my main PC. Started by just throwing some extra hard drives into my old case, then incrementally upgraded it with used server parts from ebay, bigger hard drives, etc.
You’ll typically want to use something like Plex or Jellyfin to serve the movies to whatever devices you’re watching on. Then you’ll get into docker and the Radarr/Sonarr/*arr stack…

If you’re not comfortable with Linux and just want something configurable via a WebUI, OpenMediaVault is a good starting point.
I use unraid with 5x8TB drives, 1tb ssd as a cache drive for new transfers (writing to an ssd is faster, it then moves to the array after) 500GB NVME drive for appdata and applications and a 250GB ssd for VMs and ISOs
Ita easy to do in unraid, you set it up per share, so say you have a “media” share you can change the settings to include a cache drive and then set it to write to the cache drive first and then more to array. If you don’t have a cache drive or want to add a other you can do that by installing the ssd, booting up, stopping the array and adding in a new cache drive (you can add it to your existing cache pool to increase its size or create a new one and keep them separate for separate uses)
If you’re concerned about privacy, you could build your own NAS. It’s more work, but also more powerful for the money. Wolfgang’s Channel on YouTube has quite a few videos about low power diy home server.
Well it definitely checks for updates, and it has services for finding nas for dummies that use outside communications. My router policy doesn’t allow it to talk to the outside, but certain docker containers hosted on the nas can access internet via raspberry pi proxy
Occasionally I let it update then close it off again.
