Music is art, and when you realise that, you realise that every little thing in a song was placed there by its creator. It was there to serve a specific role. And once you add the instruments being place a specific way, the lyrics being sung a specific way, and the meaning of the lyrics flying over your head if you zone out for a second. You start to listen to music like you are looking at an art piece in a museum, trying to understand what the creator wanted to achieve, what point did they want to get across, what message did they want to leave on this planet that will live on longer than them.

This ties into more non mainstream music. Some can agree that most albums are slop all built around one song that become the hit. And that song became the hit because it was built around one part of a chorus that was made so that the song can go viral on tiktok.

See that kind of music I hate, when the artist puts away the brush and takes out the printer.

Everything feels the same, sounds the same. More technically speaking, most artists use the same plug ins, sounds, virtual instruments. Everything is strictly on beat, robotic and autotuned to the max.

That is why older bands and music artists still are so influential and relevant. It’s because they wanted to create something with the limited supplies that they had.

Like the saying goes: limitations breed creativity

Its not all lost, still good stuff out there. Sift through the corporations and slop and find something that resonates with you.

With art and music, amounts of views don’t matter…

It’s the viewer that makes the music matter.

at this point can you even call that meat?

Very informative thanks!

Seems like seagate 4-8tb is the sweet spot. Is there any difference in the models of the segate drives? Or just the iron wolf NAS are the better choice?

Also, currently can fund all ssds for primary and I’m not that interested in read speeds. I’m more interested in a safe space for files to get stored in without fear of loss.

I have a old tell server tower, running truenas scale. Once I get a pcie sata card I will set up with raid5.

And zfs is just a backup of the raid, like a sync?

And then I think my move would be to get 6 Seagate drives lol

or when you speed type something and it just opens edge and searches bing for the app you tried to open

Interesting, thanks. If you no expert, the I’m a newbie lol.

I will try a sata card and raiding them through software. What would you recommend for 6x4tb ? I know there are raids and mirrors, I was thinking like raid 5 but still unsure. I also have a icydock for 2.5 in drives that I can raid separately with ssds when I have the funds.

What is your experience with raids and safest bet on old hardware, if running 24/7 with important data?

So, it’s better if I get a normal pcie to sata card and connect them individually. Then just raid them through software.

Also, what are your thoughts on second hand drives, and just monitoring them and replacing them as needed. (im currently saving up for good new 4tb x 6 drives lol)

I got an old server and it has a hardware raid card on it. I installed trueNAS on it. Shows 18tb raid right away (24tb 4tbx6). And it does not help that I’m new to this stuff.

Is hardware raid any good for truNAS? should I just get a pcie to sata and connect drives individually?
