Let’s go for a 300TB USB key on AliExpress

It sounds like a joke, but it's not out of the realm of possibility, with advances in data storage, that we are easily self hosting the multi hundred TB libraries or distributed torrents on our cell phones in the near future. A combination of cryptography plus hardware advances could quickly redistribute the internet as we know it today, therefore redistributing power. If we are self hosting services locally, there's no ads, less propaganda etc. Anybody that self hosts any services can attest to lower costs, lower exposure to propaganda and advertising, increased self sovereignty, and an increase in insanity (a pun at self hosted 😅🫢)

Yeah, and that was an actual joke. First and last time I ordered a 1Tb solid state storage from Ali it was a looped 32Mb flash, faking the 1Tb.

Got no refund, kept it as a reminder not to be stupid again.
