I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
The Home Server
The home server has finally made sense to me recently, both logically and financially. As the collection of devices that my wife and I use grows, I find more and more need for “cloud-like” storage for my media.
I used to have a very powerful desktop at home that was the center of my computer universe. It was great– always on, remote desktop enabled, I could get access to my data one way or another anytime I needed it. With a shift to a laptop last year I decided that in order to maintain some of that connectivity, I’d need to have some kind of cloud storage (Dropbox ended up being that tool) and also a centralized NAS for household media (movies, music, photos, etc.). This worked somewhat well, but had some issues. Like iTunes not playing nice with a “brainless” central storage device. And that media not being easily available from outside of my house. And TV boxes that could use network accessible storage really didn’t stream very well from a dumb unit.
