yeah I was thinking about doing it in RAID, but then I thought: I am gonna be using this NAS just for a redundant backups from my external hard drive and laptop, so I won't really lose anything if it shits the bed :D
Working for yourself. Creating your own business, not being a slave to the system and being manipulated by media and the collective unconscious into thinking it's normal to work for someone, to sell your SELF, not your products (as it should be, in a rational society). Sadly, nothing about todays society is rational. But hey, if you wanna spend 1/3 of your life working a job you think is "OK", fucking have at it.
I would be ashamed to have written on my tombstone "worked 1/3 of his life as a sys admin".
There is no meaning in that. Just an empty job to have money, for what? For more stuff? To teach your children to do the same? Keeping materialistic corporations afloat with me taking care of the servers and stuff.
You will notice the different though. Those people only care about the end product, you can work however you like to get there. There's freedom in there.
The term "shell shock" was coined during World War I, under the belief that these soldiers' symptoms were caused by repeated exposure to exploding artillery shells. Once it became clear that the actual cause was more nuanced, the term was abandoned.
