I don't really understand HN's seeming aversion to having a headless server that handles centralized tasks like downloading, storing, and serving files. It's a great model for personal computing with a ton of upsides. As far as I'm concerned all storage on my laptop is totally disposable, and I should be able to wipe and reinstall everything quickly without loss of important data.
I back up the data on my laptop daily to rotating backup disks + there's a local server for git and some other stuff. So yeah, storage on my laptop is disposable. Which I test whenever I get a new one: restore from backup. Works.
