    I went with a nas since I needed storage and barely any compute, and I wanted it on all of the time. I also wanted a cloud sync service.

    Keep in mind that SMB and NFS work fine across any network but iSCSI needs a reliable hardwire network with decent buffers on the switch.

    Attaches storage uses USB which isn’t that great. eSATA is better. External drives start to add up too.










  • Can you explain the connection issues? Dynamic dns services aren’t much different than a normal domain name.

    If the problem is with your ip address changing then you need to get a more permanent ip.

    In fact you can usually get a domain name from the dynamic dns provider and they can update it.

    A way around this is to use a service like Tailscale. Their ip address for your host won’t change. The downside is you need to be on von to access it. There might be other options.










  • I’ve known two people that sleep very little. One was a guy from google that managed a team and also taught and did other stuff.

    I was doing the math and it didn’t make sense so I asked him about it and he said that he only slept 5 hours a day and it’s stressful on his family life, and that his dr keeps telling him it’s not healthy.

    The other person was someone that ran the company I worked for. I could tell by the remote access logs that he was going inactive around 2am and then would be back on by 6am. It didn’t seem possible and as a security concern I talked to him about it. He said that he barely sleeps. I verified it by talking to his assistants.

    Both of these people were extremely successful in their careers. I think it’s some sort of OCD that they’ve harnessed.
