10 year old hardware runs Linux just fantastically. Install Windows on that same hardware and it's basically unusable.

I haven't been able to manage more than 6 or 7 a night since my last trip.

I'm thinking about adding one in my server at home that has a couple of smaller drives in it.

Well I'm definitely not a typical ape…

When did 4TB drives get down to $100? ?

The problem with it being dark so early is I want to go to bed at like 6pm.

Against my better judgement I bought one of these mesh WiFi thingies. A Netgear Orbi Mini (RBK22), if you must know.

Setup wasn’t horrible. Requires a smartphone app and a Netgear account. Who knows how it’s phoning home. Do have it behind a proper firewall, so I can theoretically see how it’s spying on me.

I'm thankful my youth occurred well before smartphones were available to document it. :P
