Useful tools tend to earn traffic for longer than broad opinion pieces, especially in technical niches where people want a quick answer before they commit money or time.

Current tools
- Storage calculator for media library and retention planning
- RAID capacity calculator for rough usable-space estimates
Over time, this can expand into bandwidth, power cost, backup retention, or VPS cost planning.
