having 24x7 up-time is important.
Ya ok, it's your home media server. Come on.

Guys I have a server I'm running to display a slideshow of my cats. It has to run 28/8/368. Downtime is not an option, I can't not see my cat's pictures. I need 40 TB of storage in RAID 0 for ultra redundancy and my budget is some change I found in the parking lot. Can anyone help me?

Here's two sticks of gum, and some duck tape.. I think that will meet your requirements

Just use usb sticks. You can join them together with Windows RAID and then take them to another computer if the pc breaks!

I created a Raspi Supercomputer for this very purpose. It was only $2000 for the computer, $1000 for the network rack w/switches and an 8 bay Synology NAS as a backup. I'm going to push them out to remote sites into digital picture frames and a projector so I can project them onto my local water tower.

I'm quitting the SW community as a whole, there is just to much stupid accumulating over there for me to deal without me having an aneurysm.

I never quit it I just ceased to post / care about it a few months ago. So little accountability, so many random wankers.
When you join a community like this I feel it's necessary to contribute in advance so that when it's your turn to feel the burn and need help it's there for ya. Note: I do not hold anyone else to this, that's just my personal ethos.

Yeah, I'm kind of at that point now. I haven't quit, but I don't really contribute much. There are so many redundant threads where people are just too lazy/stupid/willfully ignorant and incapable of using the community search feature to answer their questions. I mean how many times can you ask how to join <insert linux distro here> to a Windows domain? Even the ones that do post seemingly straightforward questions that haven't been asked before (or at least not for a couple years) can be answered in about 3 seconds of googling.
Really quite irritating.

Laundry and then heading to get a massage and chiro adjustment! I need it so badly!!!

I was called a salesperson on SW today for providing guidance and information for Xen Orchestra, on a post where the OP asked for advice on how to backup his XenServer VMs.
And I followed it up with "you get the block level backup's for free except for the ~20 minutes to set it up, and still are able to have the file level backups in case you need that as well"
If that makes me a damn sales person where the hell is the paycheck?

Like how the hell am I trying to make a sale, by providing the Guide here on ML on how to configure XO for free on an existing infrastructure.
I didn't even say it works great with NAS xyz or this that the other thing.
The level of stupid is becoming to much.

It's sad because that kind of thing used to be embraced, but now they are so freaking paranoid about if someone is posting who is supposed to be a GG and isn't, and so they create blanket policies that break how the community functioned for years. A huge part of that is why ML was created in the first place!

@thanksajdotcom The funny thing was this claim was made by a member recommending Acronis.
Something you must purchase, and I was called more of a salesperson that Katie is.
Who literally has vendor tags there. Who's goal is to promote a product with the goal for making a sale.
Literally no sales at all for the open source stuff, like what the crap is that.

Yup, because about three years ago, it went from being a community with really good, interactive vendors to basically a giant CRM that you had to pay to access. But one of the policies of this site is to try to avoid bashing "over there", and avoid excessive us vs them discussions on the forums. It does nothing good and lots bad. So I'm going to end this conversation now, but I'll conclude with the thought that it's because of sentiments like yours and many other factors that this community was created, and I'm very proud to have been a part of that, and proud to have been a big part of helping this community experience great "organic growth".
