Yeah I need an SD card. I have ~160 GB on photos, videos, and a pretty decent music library synced to my other devices via syncthing. My current system apps (no games, just utility apps and messaging caches) + music streaming downloads (18GB) are 87GB. That is right on the boundary of internal storage if I don't take any more pictures or add any more local music.

Just android alone is 21 GB, but yeah if someone doesn't take photos or videos, doesn't listen to much music, and doesn't play any phone games, 128 or 256 is probably more than needed.

Oh, I was able to fill 128GB, but with 256GB I still have not managed. I was not even close after ~2 years, and then I had to erase everything when I installed /e/OS.

I do take photos and (rarely) videos, I just don't keep it all on my phone all the time, I regularly offload them to the home server (Immich).

Same with Series and Music. That stuff lives on the home server (Jellyfin) and can be downloaded to my phone as needed, with transcoding on the fly to a lower quality that's reasonable on the phone screen (for video) or simply to Opus (for music) to save space. My earbuds are decent but I can't tell the difference, so that's good.

Ah yeah, that is the difference. I always keep a local copy of my photos since immich has broken once in the past for me. That is one fantastic piece of software though.

I also use jellyfin, but the security on it is an absolute clusterfuck mess apparently so I don't expose it to the internet, so I use syncthing for my music.

I should really also set up a backblaze or hetzner off site backup for everything, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.

[โ€“] skarn@discuss.tchncs.de 1 points 5 days ago

I don't expose either to the internet. I either vpn to the router, or (for movies and music) do most of the syncing when I'm at home.
