I am new to raspberry pi and have picked up a pi4 which i intend to use for small projects to learn how to use them.

I have a pi1b from years ago but only spun it up for the first time a few weeks ago to serve as a pihole and a jump box to get inside my network with tailscale for various reason.

Its not powerful enough for anything beyond that that i need

I want to start with a NAS for a media server and have read about HATs you can use but im getting confused about what is better between SATA HATs and m.2 hats or just using USB with power injection for HDDs.

I intended to set up RAID 5 with 4 SSDs but am appy to go a different route. I just want something basic but not too slow and not too bulky.

The pi is a pi4b 8gb model.

I did search before asking here and have watched a number of youtube videos but couldn't find what i needed. And overall found the videos to be confusing as they all recommend different stuff and dont really get into detail about why one is better than the other.

Thanks in advance.

Winning something is easy, to win you must already be good at that thing, but in order to get good you must try and fail over and over until you are good. And thats the true test, having the strength to keep going and trying.

My son was struggling with going down a ramp on his scooter, he was scared to try, then he tried and failed, he was scared to try again. And after much encouragement and trying smaller ramps and other bits we got to a point where he wasn't scared to try and he could do the whole ramp. And now he is winning every time and its easy for him.

Winning is easy, trying is hard.

I was trying to help my 5 year old son understand the difference between a secret and a surprise.

We always taught him that we don't keep secrets, mostly to try to keep him from lying to us, but also to protect him in general.

But when saying we need to not tell mummy about a surprise we are planning he tells me we don't keep secrets. And this is what i came up with to help him understand the difference.

Secrets are kept and hidden from someone. whereas a surprise is held to be given to someone.

Take note, if you are still struggling to figure out what irony is.

They only have to list all 10 games on that app. Easiest article ever.

Woof!

Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok?

What happens to this data? What can/do they do with it? and why are so many people concerned about google tracking them?

Do i as an average user need to be concerned?

If so, What sorts of things can i do to avoid being tracked? Preferably without too much comprimise.

It's just gaslighting you

u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party apps will fall under the free model because they wont make enough API calls to come under the paid model. So how many times would we need to clone, and rename, the good 3rd party apps and split the users up between them to make reddit free again?

I think its still free if your app is making less than 100 queries per minute.

u/spez says that 90% of 3rd party app will be unaffected by the change... i thought... yeah... if there are like 5 3rd party apps that 99% or users use then the other 45 apps out there will have like 10 downloads each.. so what a misleading and dumb thing to say.

I guess you would need to limit how many people can be using each clone of the app but as elaborate as this is it would be funny to see that knobhead react to it if we did it.
