More along the lines of you don't scan in the deed to your house or your mortgage or rental contract and then throw the paper away. You don't do that with birth certificates, car titles, marriage licenses, forms of ID, social security cards, tax records, driver, professional, or any other type of license or certification, or any other important document or contract either.

You also (mostly) don't appear in court via video stream either. Maybe for some mundane procedural thing during a pandemic...or if you're locked up in supermax. Otherwise you're there, with documents, and when it's done you leave with documents, which you retain.

Good idea obviously to back all that stuff up but you don't just get rid of original documents because it's on a drive somewhere and oh that's just old fashion paper.

The deed to my house was only delivered electronically. I never even got a paper copy.

Federal documents seem to be the exception that stay on paper. SS card, birth cert, marriage cert, etc.

All those documents can be replaced with digital with the exception of the ID - sorry hips, they want to chip you. You can keep the original docs if you want, frame your certificates to use as wall art. People lose birth certificates, marriage licenses, etc. all the time. They are all stored away digitally. You'd be surprised how much paper and microfilm data has been moved to digital. The county might have a copy of your parent's birth certificate - probably stored digital, originals long gone.

For attorneys, with the right setup, many civil matters are largely done by video conference with the judge. Even old-ass attorneys just whip out the laptop and submit their documents right to the Court while there. Even my 63 yr. old, techno-phobic brother can do it . . .

Birth and marriage records are County. All records maintained by SS are digital. They prefer all documents to be submitted in that fashion(pdf) also.

Yeah, I've got a couple pieces of paper that were notarized, so those ones have to stay.

Maine allows digital copies of vehicle insurance. I still keep a paper copy since it is faster to grab that from the glove box to produce to LEO when you get pulled over.

They accept people's proof of insurance on their phone screen here now.
No f'n way I'd hand my phone to a cop. He'll get the analog version thank you very much.

I'm down to 600GB of free space. I really need to figure out my UNRAID plans. Something like this

* Stand up my current Windows Server inside it by passing in raw disks, hoping drive performance isn't TOTAL shit
* Setup Docker for Plex, NZBGet, Sonarr, Radarr, Home Assistant, and some other shit
* Somehow migrate Plex database from Windows to Linux
* Migrate media from Windows to Linux

This doesn't seem like its going to be a ton of fun.

Why can’t you just feed whatever you have now more drives?

I did all that when i was messing with unraid. It was fine.

I didnt bother migrating plex though, i just rebuilt the database.

I have some Docker stuff that I run and Windows Docker blows goats. So right now I have a HyperV VM than runs Ubuntu, which then runs Docker. Stupid. And being able to run all my Plex stuff in containers is just a much nicer approach.
