I’d urge anyone planning on building or buying a home server to try out Unraid. It’s not free or open source, but it’s only $130 iirc for the unlimited lifetime license and it Just Works^tm.
You install it on a USB stick, and the web interface has you up and running within like 2 minutes. The only hard rule is that your parity drives must be as large as or the same size as your data drives, but other than that you’re completely free to add or remove disks one, two, or ten at a time and all it takes is like 3 button clicks.
The community is large so there’s always someone to help should you run into trouble but in general the whole thing is pretty brainless. Click button, server work.
And it was an absolute fucking nightmare to maintain and work on. You either never did serious front end dev at the time or you just have an extreme case of rose tinted glasses.
The carnivore diet stuff is just straight up garbage fad dieting except it sounds cool or whatever so it appeals to insecure dudes. No real substance to it, and everyone I’ve ever seen promote just spits out the same bullshit claims as every other fad diet testimonial (“no more brain fog”)
Unless you’ve been instructed to by an actual doctor, switching to a meme internet diet promoted by morons like Jordan Peterson is probably not a great idea.
The 130k USD is 1000% actually supposed to be CAD.
Canadian salaries are pretty awful, and it’s not uncommon to see job listings looking for a sr eng with 8 years of exp and offering like 90-110k.
Outliers exist, but even for top tier companies Canadian compensation is gonna be lower.
Not a bad place if you’ve got persistent health issues or maybe if you want to raise a family, but other than that it’s pretty shitty IMO. I’m personally going to try my hardest to move down south as soon as this corona stuff starts settling down.
Seattle is still cheap for what it is tbh, a bunch of my friends have moved there and I feel like I’m getting completely fucking robbed by staying in Toronto (shouts out to covid hitting pandemic status just as I was preparing to job hunt).
Lower housings costs, significantly higher salary, much lower taxes, and better weather along with more interesting/nicer outdoorsy stuff makes Seattle probably my #1 choice for where I’d like to live right now.
People don’t care. The vast majority of people don’t ever use their computers for anything heavy, so it’s not like saving a few hundred mb of ram is going to be noticeable for them. It’d be nice to have a lighter, more performant app but if the cost is that it looks like what you posted (no offence to the dev of ripcord; IMO qt and gtk stuff always just looks super outdated) then I’d bet most people would prefer the more modern/pretty looking app.
