This again! Software can be both _mature_ and _useful_. If you trip across a piece of software that's both of mature and useful, your first action should be clone it's git repo into your own storage and save project state. Then yo

This looks great as a portable NAS device. I could run it using Raspbian or whatever will run on the rpi. For me it would be perfect if there was a TrueNAS port to arm hardware that could run on the pi. As it is, I use a 2GB pi4 in an argon

The decision was before my time but it was based on a user survey. I have to admit that my vote was also for X11 rather than TCP/IP. I don't think people realized how tightly X11 was bound to networking. This blinded them to the t

Regarding competitive advantage, I don't think so but that's just an opinion without any backing in data. But that is an educated opinion, which I'll justify later. Regarding Mixed competitions, at least in the US, the answer
