Time is merely a perspective. I've been doing this for 20 years.
Perhaps it is overblown, but one of the reasons I have 8 drives is because I wanted to run raidz2 for the extra redundancy. I've had multiple drives die before and so as disk sizes have gone up more redundancy has been important (at least I thought so).
So when my first ZFS NAS (4 disks) developed hardware failure, I decided to get more serious about it. Hence larger rack device with a proper Xeon with ECC memory and an HBA for 8 disks + 2 SSDs and the old drives that survived as a play space. I've also used this server now for 9 years.

That is a really nice small form factor case. I was recently looking at Fractal's Define 7 XL because it can hold an amazing 18 3.5" + SSDs.
Nas case suggestions
Not that this hasn't been asked before, but what are your favorite NAS cases on 2023?
I started with an old antec p180 case back 20 years ago.
Currently using a rosewell rsv-l4500 4u.
Really wish I could get my hands on a 45drivres style case like the q30 or something - just without the insane price tag. 😂
Subtitle spam - how to handle?
From a given show Plex allows you to search for a subtitles off of OpenSubtitles (the .org I guess?), but many (all?) contain spam messages within the texts.
Does anyone else experience this?
OK I found a subtitle spam cleaner - now how can this integrate with Plex or do I have to setup Bazarr...
Because of their contractor status they may not have any grounds to do so. Looks real shitty though for sure.
Exactly what I said
Considering what Google did to the jabber protocol, we can all be glad they gave up, IMO.
You'd be surprised at how many folks take it personally...
Anyone that has a production postgres deployment. For backups.
High end OLED (or QD-OLED) on Linux
I'm assuming it works fine, but wondering if anyone here has any experience with it... Obviously, the HDR feature won't work unfortunately...
Something like 12 years I used Reddit, but they really nailed the coffin lid shut now.
Not fancy, but it's mine
EK gaming rig from when it was impossible to buy any 30xx except in prebuilts...
