We aren't.
We're experiencing the sheer weight of my personal media empire.
I'm currently hosting a 40-terabyte Plex server on the company mainframe.
I have every single episode of Seinfeld rendered in uncompressed 4K resolution.
I told her our storage is full because of an aggressive database mirroring protocol required for GDPR compliance.

I thanked her for prioritizing our data sovereignty.
I'm going to use the new servers to host a private Classic World of Warcraft realm.

I’m so grateful that I got to be in Iron Lung, so happy to say it’s on YouTube movies now!!
If you haven’t seen it yet, listen out for the only British accent in the movie… that’s me… I speak quite a lot… and get pretty monstrous ☺️🙏🩸
