  • I’m mainly concerned about:

    1. Not losing data if one drive dies on me.
    2. Fast reads
    3. Easy plug and play expansion

    Since I’ll have 8 drives (or 6, if I use the smaller server, it would be nice if I could swap out one of them without losing data and add a larger one, which would then get used automatically. Is that something that RAID is good for?

    I’m hesitant to set up backups because it’s going to be a lot of data.

    I find the actual technology very interesting. At one point I wanted to create a distributed research journal, and I spent some time trying to develop a trustless, immutable ledger that didn’t have the high overhead that most blockchains have for proof of work. It was extremely cool, but nobody gives a shit unless it has coins lol

    I look forward to 20 years from now when it gets resurrected and used for interesting things that don’t involve cryptocurrency.



  • I had Kagi for a bit and enjoyed it, but I’m not sure I use search enough to justify the price tag.

    I didn’t know about the personalized SEO thing- I wonder if you could have a “default SEO rank” that would basically average all the specific uprank/downranks from other users. So power users tweak their algo, and everyone else gets the benefit of using that human feedback to improve their results.
