Welcome to Hard Drive Hank — where we believe in taking control of your digital life, the old-fashioned way. In a world that’s racing toward cloud-based everything, we’re slowing down and taking the reins. This blog is dedicated to the tech that’s stood the test of time — classic software, self-hosted tools, and no-nonsense local backups.
At Hard Drive Hank, we’re here to guide you through running the tech of yesterday in the modern world. Whether it’s getting that old version of QuickBooks running on your Windows 10 machine or setting up a local file-sharing system that you control (without a third-party cloud in sight), this blog has you covered.
No cloud. No subscriptions. No nonsense.
If you’re looking for tips, tutorials, and advice on how to build a more self-reliant digital life, this is the place for you. Whether you’re a retro tech enthusiast, a DIYer, or someone who’s just tired of the modern digital hustle, we’ve got something for you.
So, if you’re ready to take your digital life back into your own hands, stick around. We’re just getting started.
