Not op but here for info of similar situation I’ve thought about doing. So

• how many houses

Between 3-5

• how far are they apart (latency)

Different towns for 1-3 houses and same road for 3 houses, including mine where NAS would be. So im assuming this is some cloud sharing thing but im looking to host it and not use Google photos anymore.

• what is their internet connection like?

Everyone has high speed i think. 1gb/s I think.

• up/downstream?

Always pee downstream. Idk what this is asking. Sorry

• Static IP? Is it stable?

Yes to both but would like it to be accessible on mobile devices too.

• how are they supposed to access the data?

Just looking for info on what to learn so whatever you recommend lol

• what kind of data is it, and what is the access pattern? Meaning, is it text files? Occasional pictures? Movies?

Prolly 90% pictures & 10% video

• how much data do you need in total (yours+others)

Shit idk enough to cover 3 families with multiple crotch fruit under 3 years old so 50,000TB+ range.

Right but thats kinda what im saying is that wouldn’t all hardware be expensive and not just Pis?

Sorry for my ignorance, so brasil has nothing like an Amazon where OP could buy a new pi from and have it delivered? If thats the case i feel like I could buy OP a pi and ship it to them in brasil for less cost than it would be to buy anyother option of hardware for a home server. Assuming USPS still offers flat rate boxes for international shipments.

Why would raspberry pi’s be expensive but the hardware to build a server be any cheaper?

I mean yeah it’s a great idea but what if someone comes out with 6 minute abs?

Step into my office.

Why?

Cuz you’re fucking fired!

-pooly paraphrased from one of my favorute scenes in Something About Mary

*bonus cuz noone asked, my favorite scene is when he asks his buddy how it’s been and his buddy says “you know each day is better than the next” without thinking it sounds like each day is great but he’s really saying is every day is worse and worse🤣

Psh 1 plug aint shit. Every Pic I see from anyone who lives out in those ghettos of India, Central America or any spacific islands they also only rock 1 plug but theyre running the corner store, the liquor store, the hospital, their style of little school middle school and old school, 3 hair salons if Latin or 3 nail salons if spasific, Bollywood, every stadium from every country in the world cup, and always 1 dude trying to squeeze 1 more plug in cuz hes runing low bats. Idk why the American ghetto is so pussy. One time i seen a family that fuckin put covers over empty sockets?!? Come on dog thats like wearing a condom jerking off. NGL tho, I get super jelly seeing pictures from those countries thp with their thousands of power lines, phone lines, sidelines, cable lines, borderlines, internet lines… fuck I don’t know much about how my AOL works but those wizards must be streaming some Hella fast Tokyo banddrifts with all them wires.
