Most people realize too late that they didn't have backups of their data or don't realize they can easily setup their own media servers at home. What do you use and suggest? Everything from beginner tech knowledge to advance. TIA

  • Pictures: On a folder on a server I syncthing to. I don't really look at them. I used to have NextCloud for browsing them, but it was slow. I might give Immich a try
  • Music: Youtube and the songs in my head. Sad, but it's true. I have a large collection I rarely look at. I also have a rockbox I sometimes pick up and play to rejig my tastes.
  • Movies/Tv shows: Kimcartoon was main goto for cartoons, but it's down now. I use other sites. Movies, usually I find some recommendation on Lemmy and then I go find a nice DCC on an irc server somewhere with irssi. I had JellyFin for a bit, but I just don't watch movies or series that often.
  • Backups: Some in the cloud. Rest in a big old hard drive. Plug it in once a year, update and tidy it up. Power down, back into cold storage.
