• Does the NAS market really suck or did I miss something?

  I see everyone talking about FreeNAS and TrueNAS but what about RockStor? https://rockstor.com/ I've been using their free version for about two years now and so far rock solid (bar the irritating nag screen everytime I go to the dashboard). Source: over 1 year ago

• RAID ZFS etc, what to use when not buying all disks at once

• Why is Amahi not a popular home server solution?

  Rockstor is another one that rarely gets talked about. I never used it, but it looks interesting and might be good if someone wants a WebUI for managing btrfs. Source: almost 3 years ago

• NAS with BRTFS?

  If you're planning to make your own btrfs-based NAS, then you might find Rockstor interesting. Altought not perfect, I've been using it for a long time with zero issues. Source: about 3 years ago

• All Ford EV will have access to Tesla Supercharger network

  Also just because something is "free" doesn't mean it is cheaper. I can run a free Owncloud but it might be cheaper to pay someone else to run my server while I focus on my solution. USB-A could be patent free and USB-C may have a small royalty but the UX and cost of manufacture may make USB-C still cheaper. I would be curious what the end agreement money exchange between Ford and Tesla was but I don't think we... Source: 11 months ago

• Transitioning Away from Google Services

  I've been hooked on some Google services since 2010 when I got a Nexus One phone. I liked the calendar and contacts because they were accessible from my other devices. I ported a few of my phone numbers to Google Voice shortly afterward and I liked being able to access voicemail and SMS from my other devices. Sometime last year I noticed that Google Calendar was acting up with Thunderbird so I decided to migrate... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
