To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup (“RAID is not a backup”), you want both. In a NAS, you’re probably better off with RAID5 + backup.

In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you’re a yank, other countries have their own options.

93, good trot. As a non US person, strangely Experiment IV by Kate Bush (Wilhelm Reich song) started playing, if it is synchronicity,I’m happy. Pass well baseball icon.

I’d suggest you move toward a backup approach (“RAID is not a backup”) first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you’re trying to do RAID on USB, don’t, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.

For even less pain try a ublue variant (Aurora or Bazzite probably for KDE depending if you game). No faffing around with codecs and RPMFusion etc…

Literally is the grub menu…

The *arr suite, e.g. rando hard drive TV show, add show to sonarr, import (yes it’s usually that easy), movies - radarr, seeking out stuff you’re watching now - prowlarr. Quite mature and way easier than hunting through streaming services.

These sets of concentric shells contain a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass.

The next question, then, is how to possibly confirm or refute the shells Lieu has proposed through observations.

First, we take some negative mass… Oh, wait.

Still, fresh blood!

Thanks, literally the second option. Blind!

Figured that was likely, haven’t found it yet.

I ran across it somewhere, greed makes it sound plausible, but I have no direct evidence.

Yeah, some dickheads apparently want to monetize and should die in a fire, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. Patience usually does the trick, but I need to work out how to filter Private out of search results.

Nice wastage satan :)

Also, I used to think it was ‘Some of those in that work forces’ TIL, better this way.

Give blood.

DON’T YOU TRY TO JUSTIFY

If you’re doing weird shit, partition the 4TBs into 2x2TB, now you have 10x2TB. Or use unraid / mergerfs + SnapRaid.

Boffo!

No idea if it works, but I installed something similar a few years back, and it worked (might have been CS6 at that). Searching Photoshop linux github has a few hits. There’s also a project for GIMP to skin the interface to look like Ps, I just sucked it up and learned GIMP…

Look into meditation (extending silence of mind), it won’t work immediately, but it did for me, on the order of years, but worth it, much peace found.
