Remember that narrow window of time when Netflix had All The TV and was the only streaming platform, which you could access for a low monthly fee? I've always thought and argued that while money might be part of the motivation for

Don't worry, it's not just you. I learn concepts by building and tinkering (and reading specifications), so you'd think I'm a target market. But when I wanted to get some hands on experience with a cluster file system,
