I'm old school, I will never store anything in somebody's "cloud", rather buy X TB of disks, setup backup/sync to secondary location and I'm happy with that solution for more than 15 years.

Quite a few zoomers are transitioning into this mindset too.

I'm not the only person I know with a considerable storage array hooked up to a homelab powering services for family & friends.

I suppose the more 'normie' zoomers might not, but almost every IT/CS/Cyber/Engineering student I know has at least one self-hosted service they run.

Some even still collect CDs!

    the question is how many do that exclusively. I have a local NAS that has all my files, but I also back it all up to the cloud as well, because if my house gets destroyed in a fire, I want there to be copy that's not there.
