I understand the cost issue for RAID 5 vs RAID 1 - more drives, more expensive NAS, etc.
If your storage needs are larger (e.g. more than 12 TB), RAID 5 can actually be more cost-effective than RAID 1. To get 12 TB of RAID 1 storage, you need 24 TB of physical storage in 2x12 TB disks. To get 12 TB of RAID 5 storage, you only need 16 TB of physical storage in 4x4 TB disks. There is still a cost premium on large disks, so the cost savings on the smaller disks and on 8TB of storage should more than pay for the increased cost of a 4-bay NAS.
I also distrust data tapes, the "cloud", etc. What I have done is to buy 2 sets of 4 TB portable drives to which I copy the backup. These are stored off-site, and rotated monthly. This means that at most I will lose a month of my personal stuff, which I figure is recoverable.
(If I ran a business from home, I'd have a more robust backup scheme.)
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.

Yeah! When I used my regular starter word and started getting GREENs... initial reaction was ... which soon turned into !
|
|
|
|
|
That's why the "easy" way to play is to use 2 or 3 starter words with no letters in common and check for over half the alphabet before you try to guess the word!
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, can be one of the ways.
But. where's the fun in that if I want to guess in least number of tries?

Lucky second guess
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well-preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!" - Hunter S Thompson - RIP

It's pointless to use a broken pencil.
When fish are in schools they sometimes take debate.
When you've seen one shopping center you've seen a mall.
