You would be better off being paid by Google, Nielsen, or other ad tracking companies.
It was paid $45 a month for years by Google to track my internet. They gave me a custom router to do it. It was all my own traffic, so I didn’t worry about shady outside traffic. Figured Google already tracked me anyways so I might as well be paid for it.
I would not use NTFS.
Do the reverse. Use ZFS, Ext4, or Btrfs. Those are native Linux file systems.
Then you share the Linux folder with Windows over SMB, which is a Windows file sharing protocol that both Linux and Windows understand well. Voila, copy and paste between both machines without worrying about corruption.
It’s for editorial integrity.
A lot of redditors only read the title and it’s what a lot of discussion is around. Allowing titles to be edited after the fact would really change what information is presented and how the conversation is contextualized.
Serve The Home forums and YouTube is dedicated to these devices.
Protectli, CWWK, Topton are the manufacturers. Protectli is actually a rebrander of the Chinese products for western audiences. CWWK designs the actual motherboards. You can order from whichever vender you like, although Topton seems the least reliable as far as English support and firmware.
Using a VPN just means I don't get personalized ads, just random ones.
You can ask Google for non-personalized ads too, its in the settings. They will track you either way.
I pay for a YouTube premium family plan and because Google actively incentivizes it, 4 of my friends get it for free as well.
That's not possible. Your friends have to pay or watch ads themselves.
If it were possible for some people to pay and others not to pay, then YouTube would have survived for over a decade, including periods of profitability, even though some people blocked ads. Oh wait...
It's definitely not because YouTube has 2 billion viewers and expanded to all regions of the world, and there only real way to increase revenue is to squeeze the existing customers.
There's lots of solutions.
Cheap:
But a full tower PC case with room for 10+ HDDs. Lot of options like those from Fractal, CoolerMaster, etc.
Enterprise (expensive):
Buy a JBOD with a backplane that you plug all your discs into then plug that into a server.
