Finally got off my butt and hobbled together a server for our house today out of spare parts from my closet. Going to run object storage, sync/share, backups.
Been waiting to build based on a pricey "optimal" shopping list, but dang it feels good to bang something out and stand it up.

@szbalint yea that's incredible cheap.
they could be using the new less reliable QLC flash, or refurb gear with less redundancy (or unsafe erasure coding config) than is standard for the industry to keep uptime safely while hardware fails.

@szbalint i've been hearing a lot of folks unhappy recently, uptime related?

Apparently, #Apple wants to patent #swiftlang features like optional chaining, (which Swift did not invent(!)).
When they open-sourced it in 2015, I gave them a tremendous amount of credit and I like the language a lot, but it was visibly driven mainly by Chris Lattner and now that he's no longer there, they seem to be more and more willing to shit all over he and the team have done.
Just another sad example of why your work shouldn't be entrusted to a corporate entity if you truly value it.
