I hope you are right but I'm not convinced they think that they made a mistake with issue 1. I know LaRose is trying to save face but all I've heard is blah blah blah, outside influence, and they needed more time to get the message out. They have to know, right?
Are you kidding? There will be a special legislative session and a bill in his desk to repeal before the weekend is out.
I don't understand the "dipshit liberal" portion of your comment. I didn't see in the article his political leanings.
We once stayed at an Airbnb in Florida. The property owners were not local. They had an employee come give us an orientation to the house upon check in. During the check-in he had us read the electric meter. When we left we had to read the meter again. The electric rate was in the rental contract so it became part of our final bill. It was a little strange but it made sense that we would pay for what we used.
Start googling. Hardware or Software based? How techy are you? RAID should not be considered for backup. Think of it as an individual drive. Still needs a backup. Personally I use a ZFS pool in my Linux homelab that's been rock solid. However the pucker factor would be high if a drive fails.
Depends on how you set them up. There are calculators online that can estimate this for you.
I used NAS drives bc they're expected to be spinning a lot.
No. You will see better performance on average compared to your slowest drive.
I have no relevant experience with specific hardware. For a general base of knowledge figure out what RAID type you want to use. Look at what ZFS or btrfs can do in this space. Same for unraid.
