Do you have an old computer that you can use as a server? If not, you could look for one used. Then get an 8TB disk and maybe a second one for backup if you want to store anything you can’t redownload.

Who are we?
We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.
We are one. We are legion. And we're trying really hard not to forget.

You can use any computer you want. It is usually enough with something like a raspberry pi (A raspberry pi can be pretty expensive, so you should look for an alternative). Then just connect some external drives (or internal based on the computer).
get a 2nd desktop for said purpose, have it run Linux or a nas os. it doesn't have to be new and anything from the last 15 years will work
I don't know what Revolt is, I just came here to brag about having the best possible username on Lemmy.
