I used to be an Apple service technician. We kept an old mac that had SCSI in an expansion port and Ethernet in another for precisely this reason. I once transferred all 20MB of a Mac Plus hard drive, an author’s lifetime work, to a new iMa

Ahh yes, the irony is not lost on using a paid closed-source service to create and help manage a self-hosted service running FOSS. I thought it was because I didn't want to pay SAAS subscription costs, but now I just need Claude Pro...

Yes, I had been following vault.io for a few months, but I don't think it is ready. My understanding is that vault.io faces similar limitations as TrueNAS and ZFS. So, I hand-built FreeBSD, OpenZFS, Bastille, and Samba how I want it an
