I always kind of thought of KDE as “okayish” but ever since plasma 6 I’m a convert! Hope to see some excitement for these projects in the coming years - it feels to me that KDE is reaching a maturity that could attract a critical mass.

Everyone thinks about the spying as relating to themselves, the individual.

Google doesn’t give a shit about you. Google gives a shit about us. Collectively. They can monitor the collective soul of the world. When people are busy, when they’re not paying attention, when they’re mad, who, and for how long; how they react to certain subjects…how to get them to listen about certain subjects, how to bring them around to certain subjects, how to keep them disagreeing with other viewpoints, etc.

They’re literally developed “a remote control for the flock” and everyone’s out here like “why do I care if Google see my save games I have 500 hours in CoD so wut”

Only if you never want to use those disks for anything else on that server

Would it be better to make single-disk vdevs and add them into a pool so you could add a mirror disk to each vdev later?

ZFS can absolutely combine both into a 4TB single volume. Well like 3.78TB but you get the picture.

Note that, just like any other method which combines disks in a “RAID0” way, if one drive fails you lose everything on both drives.

But yes as others have said, “Pools” in Proxmox (or, more accurately, “Resource Pools”) are not related to storage but to permissions. A pool of VMs, of network bridges, yeah even storage but they’re not used for creating storage, only controlling access to it in an environment with lots of users (like in an enterprise).

ZFS and Ceph also use the term “Pool” but in a different context. They’re talking about a pool of combined storage, which is what you are looking for.

Put each USB disk into a ZFS vdev and then combine the two vdevs into a pool. You can add more drives into the vdev later to create mirrors within the vdev and get a RAID10-like setup once you have the means.

No, most browsers will do what they’re told. At least with nginx, you have to set up a server to listen on port 80 and send a 301 permanently redirected message with the https URL.
