I only have about 1/10 TB of photos, but I'm using a non-library based (filesystem only) method using simple image viewers, plain files/folders and a Synology DS212. Works great so far.

I've played around with the "goals" in Simple, and I really like them. And like you, I too prefer hiding my money from myself. I wish I had your savvy back when I needed it most (when I was way, way younger), but now I'm a lot more disciplined (and have a better cash-flow to boot). Still, the hiding trick works for…

You may have stated that in jest, I can't tell, but I did have a first this past week where I had a relative's BlackBerry that refused to charge using one of my many USB cables. I could not figure out why at all... I'm a monoprice-type cable person, as far as I am concerned all cables are equal.
