To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup (“RAID is not a backup”), you want both. In a NAS, you’re probably better off with RAID5 + backup.
In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you’re a yank, other countries have their own options.
I’d suggest you move toward a backup approach (“RAID is not a backup”) first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you’re trying to do RAID on USB, don’t, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.
For even less pain try a ublue variant (Aurora or Bazzite probably for KDE depending if you game). No faffing around with codecs and RPMFusion etc…
Literally is the grub menu…
Sounds like an excellent idea, I’d be surprised if it isn’t happening.
Sure, I was being mildly facetious, but pointing to a better pattern, the nature of python means it is, barring some extreme development, always going to be an order of magnitude slower than compiled. If you’re not going to write even a little C, then you need to look for already written C / FORTRAN / (SQL for data) / whatever that you can adapt to reap those benefits. Perhaps a general understanding of C and a good knowledge of what your Python is doing is enough to get a usable result from a LLM.
When you need speed in Python, after profiling, checking for errors, and making damn sure you actually need it, you code the slow bit in C and call it.

Which is not to say faster Python is unwelcome, just that IMO its focus is frameworking, prototyping or bashing out quick and perhaps dirty things that work, and that’s a damn good thing.
RAID is your friend. If you can’t afford to lose one, you might have a bad time (applies to all drives anyway). Manufacturer refurbs are your best bet.
Fairly universally the worst moment (Mine was actually validating, but ppl seem to hate it)
If you’re doing weird shit, partition the 4TBs into 2x2TB, now you have 10x2TB. Or use unraid / mergerfs + SnapRaid.
but flatpak-system-update.service is a part of ublue
enable flatpak-system-update.service if it’s not…works for me.
Try whatever ublue floats your boat, it all happens in the background, the power of atomic updates baby, if something breaks, just go back to the previous one…
Radicale has been so good I’d forgotton it existed, carddav and caldav sorted. Unix principle at its best, do one thing well (or microservices for the newbies). Why are you dogwhistling for a closed source marginal replacement for syncthing ?
Yep, as can happen easily if you buy in a batch. Just like ransom (related, no?), non-sequential serial numbers please.
If I just happen to get the bad module that craps out after 6 months, the positive reviews are not that helpful.
That’s what RAID(5) is for, if a drive craps out you just shrug and get a new one (or warranty), no data loss. Easy enough to cobble together with a PCIe card and 4ish smaller drives, faster too…
God tier VPN solution (if your provider is covered), have two running, one outs in Singapore for *arrs and a localish one for my SearxNG. So much versatility for something so solid…
Look at syncthing, set a directory with your music on your desktop/laptop , sync to phone, profit…
‘Cause I’ve got faith of the heart
I’m going where my heart will take me
I’ve got faith to believe
I can do anything
I’ve got strength of the soul
An’ no one’s gonna bend or break me
I can reach any star
I’ve got faith
I’ve got faith
Faith of the heart
Also, ewww…
