I live in a place with 30% humidity inside for about 1/2 of the year. I had real issues with my eyes getting dry. I’ve tried drops, went to the doctor, etc. In the end the issue was that I was not sufficiently hydrated. When I started drinking 2-3 liters of water per day, all my eye issues went away.

sure but so is social media and ultra processed food. Both with much greater impact, why not start there?

The reason I chose Synology over others was their SHR "filesystem", where you can continue adding heterogeneously sized disks after constructing the FS and it will make the most use possible out of the extra capacity in the new disks. When I researched it ZFS did not yet have the resizing feature merged, now it does, though I think it is still not able to use this extra space.

I'm wondering if anybody has any better recommendations given the requirement of being able to add storage capacity without having to completely recreate the FS.

I think it's great advice, but the "finish rarely" part is maybe understated. The goal is to try as many things as possible, as quickly as possible in order to find your true calling. You'll stick with it once found.

It's meant to imply that it's as performant as, but safer than c/c++.

You can choose a different game engine or write your own. You can not write an app for iOS without Apple SDK

Interesting article. I wonder if the FS abstraction is not too large, maybe it could be split into various layers, such as the Physical layer (block KV store), intermediate with building files from blocks and last UI layer with FS or Object Store type access. Kind of similar to what's happening in the database space with Query Engines like DataFusion.

I'd still rather stare at a blank screen for 20s than view the ads.

What do they do when GitHub is down?

I think the self-hosted bit is just for syncing, as long as you have multiple devices its not likely to lose data even if you don't follow the 3-2-1 backups.
