With the cost of NVMe SSDs, good multi-core CPUs, and RAM, all at good prices; I've taken to recommending people build new PCs again. Current generation machines that have the capacity to accept the new standards.
The 26 TB RAID6 I mentioned is part of that project. The entire family-cloud setup should cost about $4k (the drives are HDD, but good quality)
Yeah but.... I will never upgrade from 7, shit I loved xp. And cloud? fuck you got a smart house huh? Not for me.
Smart house? No, never. I won't allow that. But I can build a good media server for up to 4K resolution on one screen, with a high-capacity storage VM running in the background.
I held out as long as I could on Win 7. It was my favorite. XP was excellent. Win98SP2 was the shit.
But to get gains like this I had to get into the current generation.
get off my lawn. Yeah I get it but just refuse it.
Linux. OpenBSD. Something besides Pajeet OS.
