  • Specially if you are considering leaving it as storage only, I’d say it’s totally worth it sticking to CORE.

    It’s stable, tried and tested. And it works. Even if fancy new features like RAIDZ Expansion won’t make it to the GUI, it’ll probably work just fine from CLI.

    I have a CORE box as my NAS / Home Server with many Jails running my stuff in it and I don’t plan to switch from that anytime soon. Maybe if my services stop supporting FreeBSD, then I’d start by migrating them to Docker containers running in a Linux VM, and when all of them are migrated, then I’d consider going the SCALE route.









  • Potential bias: I’m a developer at Spotify.

    “Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it.”

    I don’t think the company forces you to do anything. It is their business model, how they can provide copyrighted music to you and have a share of the pie too.

    I’d say the very idea that Spotify is forcing you to pay with time and attention or money so you can have music conveniently streamed to your devices is a testament to the company’s success. It created this business model and fulfilled an apparently basic need to the point you think that charging for it is unfair.

    But “forcing” is too much. You can always buy discs, digital downloads and so.
