Do it. I dare ya. Keep digging. It’s fun watching the hole get deeper while you disappear into the darkness.

Still looking for that backup of that disk with my bitcoin wallet from the early days… sadly probably gone forever.

Yeah no kidding, paying for unraid?

TrueNAS (formerly FreeNAS) keeps getting better, for free. It does most of the same tricks that the big boy appliances do, but with your commodity hardware, at no cost.

And it does all this exceedingly well. AND if you want… you can buy support. At your discretion.

Yes. That would be in the past, making it foreshadowing.

Hard disks, WD/HGST.

I’ve had good luck with EMC and NetApp for enterprise solutions, Synology for SMB class NAS storage, and rely on TrueNAS/ZFS on supermicro hardware at home, which has been rock solid for years and years.

I got to play Pong on one of those original, first edition cabinets. A local museum has one of the originals. It’s really cool!

Don’t worry about those bumps in your hood. It’s just engine parts pushing into the sheet metal.

Um

I switched a while back for the same reason, in a completely different scenario. Google is playing themselves.

This is all by design. Once they have you/us/them captured again, we’re going to take another trip around the “raise prices and squeeze services until it’s unsustainable, because shareholder and CEO profit”. It has all happened before and it will all happen again.

The cloud is just someone else’s computer. The uber is just someone else’s car. Streaming is just someone else’s media library. They have you right where they want you, dependent on them.

.01 Jiggawats short…

I do. Anything I have to put a datecode on, always gets a stamp of YYYYMMDD.

I’m a systems guy. ISO8601 or die. Whomever decided to put the most significant digits at the end of MMDDYYYY can get fired. From a cannon. Into the sun.
