Hands again, omg, it's easy to draw shitty hands but even half decent ones I cannot do and I love drawing and have a dedicated art room and station... So well done ❤️

NAS's are really simple these days, they're pretty much plug and play. I use QNAP but I know Synology are suited better to my personal use case. All my stuff on my QNAP is 1 click install, e.g. Plex. Everything is so easy, including personal media back ups.

If you're doing just data storage and media stuff an ARM cpu is completely fine with a just a GB of RAM, more is always better. But it's annoying when you're hacking and need to compile for ARM to spin up docker containers. So AMD or Intel x64 is best if you wanna go nuts at hacking at shit. And if not you can always supplement your NAS with NUC or more raspberry pis.

I don't think that'll be an issue for you. Think of them as mini dedicated servers for local backups and media storage and sharing that can be used for a lot more. They are a private local cloud. Again very very easy to use and have mobile apps.

So then it just getting the stuff you want onto those drives however you're comfortable. I prefer automated but it's obviously easier for anyone not in tech to do it manually with a drag and drop, or upload from the app.

RAID options are a choice too and should be read up on. I YOLO (only) 2 of my drives in RAID 0 which is going to trigger some people reading this but with a gigabit connection to Usenet I'd prefer the performance as it can be rebuilt.

The Google drive side, you could consolidate that and backup it to AWS S3 too and put it in cold storage? That's possibly too complex for you unless you like this kinda thing.

Losing things to crashes though is very abnormal. That's symptoms of many things so can you give more details?

Also having a NAS is ftw!... My partner is saying no to the full rack mount haha

Edit1: typos and sentence structure which still sucks. And if you don't understand any acronyms then happy to expand.

Edit2: Be aware this is going to cost you. If $1k bothers you walk away. Happy to price up your setup if you let me know your storage requirements.

Edit3: You can get cheaper solutions but in my experience they're unreliable and less extensible.

Thanks chef, I really do enjoy the raisins and curry powder though, but I can fix that!

Thanks again ❤️

Hands are super super hard so wow. I can only dream of spending the time to do that.

Your art is yours and so your creation. It's not a competition and so love your pieces. Bet yours are better than mine!

Also on the local storage, buy a NAS and drives. Will cost you some monies but has many other use cases. I can help you here, I love mine and all the other stuff it can do.

Also, Google cloud storage if your on android is cheap if you want stuff backed up that isn't local (I'm very pro local and have about 70TB now).

Coronation chicken sandwich please chef! Think I've asked for this before but have mad cravings for one.

Those look absolutely amazing, where are they from as I'd like to order something similar for my partner?

😂

But it would be pretty hypocritical to be arrested by a naked police officer.

Cool, will sort that in 10 months for you in exchange for that brekkie!

Solution: have the pizza arrive by car 😁 the base will be fine until the next pizza.

Are you inviting us all over for the weekend? That sounds amazing!

Can I have your morning please?

But you've not even tried! They'll come around eventually, and then it'll be weird for anyone not being naked and so everyone falls in line hehe...

It's so freeing isn't it!? It's even better when you throw a party on the Saturday night and new comers don't know about the midnight tick over Sunday rule. They all fall in line though.

The sofa issue can be weird but it's bits and we all have them and you get used to it. Sofas can be cleaned after all but understand your apprehension.
