We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

Two, one in active use and the other has its main board (Raspi 3B) on loan for folks in my dept. I demanded, "As soon as we have 80-ish USD, we gonna replace that old clunker out for something recent using our department budget." I could use a desktop PC as a case, tho (and use my Raspi-centered NAS as offsite backup back in my hometown).
