I wouldn’t recommend a WD My Cloud Home - it’s not a NAS as such, it’s a bit limited; I’d go for a Synology. or One Drive as you suggest - a 1TB plan is quite reasonable with regards to cost.

Thanks for the responses; it seems I can’t really do it. I looked into ZFS but if I use that it halves the available disk space to 2TB. I’m using the VM for a media server and thought it would be better to have 1 4TB space instead of 2 2TB disks. At the end of the day it isn’t a big deal, I just thought I’d be able to present both disks as 1.
I’ve been on the internet since the early 90s and try to keep my stuff anonymous. But as you say, I am sure someone could find out all about me if they wanted, despite using a VPN 90% of the time, using dummy emails to sign up for stuff, never posting photos etc. If someone posts a photo to Facebook with me in it, with a comment “Me and John Doe having a great time”, I have no control over it.
Seems a lot faster today - great work!
As an IT support person, I’ve learnt to dumb things down for management. They don’t want to hear stuff like “Increased the SGA, changed the buffer size and added a function based index…etc”. Sometimes I’ll do a short and a long version something like “the issue was around memory settings which have been increased”, plus the detailed info.
I don’t have kids but am perfectly happy to pay more tax to make education free or cheaper. How can anyone argue that a less educated society is better? The more people that can experience higher education is plainly a good thing. There could be someone out there who could make a medical or technological breakthrough but doesn’t get the chance because they can’t afford to go to college.
I think Water Wars are also a concern.
This is what worries me - an instance creator terminates the instance for whatever reason, then all the accounts and posts are gone. Or the creator could hold the instance hostage - “Hey guys, costs are building up and I’m going to have to shut it down unless people donate”
I just bought a used Lenovo ThinkCentre M710Q Mini Tiny Desktop PC Computer i5 6400T 1TB SSD Win 10 Pro from Ebay for $289 AUD and plugged in some oldish external SSDs and HDDs and now have 10TB of storage. I’m really pleased with it, it took about half an hour to install Proxmox and I’ve now got 5 VMs up and running.
