Advanced hoarders: why are you storing data in databases (BLOBs) instead of files on a filesystem? (zerobytes.monster)

Really trying to understand the use cases and the usefulness here. It sounds like a fun project that could be really beneficial.

Beyond BLOBs, databases could still be a good idea -- storing references to the files on disk (i.e. the path).

Would greatly appreciate any thoughts or anecdotes on this.
