Disk redundancy. Let’s you plug in many drives. I have eight 16TB drives in a raid z2. I can lose some drives and not lose data.

I’d start over. A mobo, decent CPU, lots of ram for ZFS, and a used LSI storage adapter from eBay would get you far on a budget. USB won’t have the performance or reliability and you’d need a handful of drives to make it worth it. You could install an M2 SATA adapter, I don’t know if it would even work, and drive drives with it but they would still need power and you couldn’t put the case back together without cutting holes in it.

Saw this earlier - was surprised I thought we had had rain more recently but apparently not!

Slackware is the solution then clearly.

I haven’t used it myself, and admittedly am entirely unfamiliar, but a buddy put popos on something recently and was talking about how smooth and simple it was. Might be worth a gander.

What happens to Gus Fring on Breaking Bad. There had been all sorts of fake leaks and photoshops going around 4chan and Digg and Reddit and I sent one to my buddy, turns out it was the only real one. Whoops.

I’m sure no HOA would ever fight you for this. /s

Hah - I’ve got one in my Pit Boss as I type this. The best thing about a pork shoulder as the first smoke is that it smokes for a while and gets a good first seasoning in the smoker. I’ve always heard an hour to an hour and a half per pound, I usually plan on the longer side and then if it’s done early wrap it in foil and then beach towels and throw it in a cooler and let it rest until I’m ready, the foil-beach towel-insulated cooler combination keeps it hot.

Something like this I would normally post to our help desk team and to the engineers, but it feels like a bad decision to share a URL with them that has profanity in it.
