• 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

  There are OSes (like unraid or RockStor) that give you a GUI for some things, but those are strictly optional. Source: over 2 years ago

• Why is Amahi not a popular home server solution?

• Ask HN: WordPress vs. Django/Flask?

  I did read from somewhere, that with Wordpress SEO plugins etc some website got to top of search results. Those that did website with other tech did not get same results, and thinked how to compete or survive. For security, I use Sandstorm https://sandstorm.io fork of WordPress that generates static websites. But that does not work with some interactive plugins. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago

• Plunder and Urbit

  Urbit made the choice to use a bunch of silly new words for familiar concepts, not because they were inventing something so new that there were no words to describe it, but because they wanted to fool people into thinking that's what they were doing. Actually they just spent 10 years trying to do https://sandstorm.io/, but made it 10 times harder than it needed to be by coming up with a wacky new set of... - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
