Had a new PC and was hosting a goodbye party before moving to Singapore. The PC was used to play spotify to the big speakers (jack connection) and I had just transferred on it all data from the old PC (before selling it). I was gonna do the backup of all the photos and code that same evening.

Fast forward an hour in the party one of the kids tried to play with the cable and poof the PC dropped the main SSD was fine but the 2TB HDD were all the data was gone. tried sending it for repair but it was un-salvageable. Lost all my code from when I started, some interesting rpg-engine I was working on and about 500Gb of photos and videos from all my trips and more.

Now I have a setup at home with hard drives connected to raspberry pi and as soon as I finish photoshoots or important stuff I just send it to the network drive and then the raspberry handles cloud upload and redundancy.
