Lets say you live in a world where the world government has decided people are getting too addicted to the internet and ordered the internet to be shut down for 5 years. The 100 GB of storage is all you have (excluding essential system files for your Operating System). You have 24 hours before the internet is getting shut down. What do you download?

100 GB is some rookie numbers. I’ve had 8tb for years, I’m only half full and the drives are starting to age out. I’ve already replaced one with a 4tb drive, once the rest are replaced, it’ll be 16tb total.

Assume that the government in this scenario, which has the power to shut down Internet, can also steal your storage capacity.

When you think you are bragging, or something, but you are actually just doing hypotheticals wrong…

100 GB

looks at my nas, already stuffed with several TB of content, chuckling

Some panic, while others were ready since the dawn of time. I’ll add that extra 100 gigs to my drive collection though…

(it’s lots of games, media, and yiff. And yeah, it is enough to hold me over for 5 years. No, you can’t see it. :p)

You didn’t read the post. You’re going to be spending all of your time deleting your content because you only have 100 GB’s total.

I’d replace kernel sources with a full Linux distribution (unless this is already part of “essential system files”)

Hah, I’ve been collecting all my needs offline for a while now. Because companies keep turning to subscriptions and other ##. I’m pretty sure my archive of apps is under 100GB
