Well, Bcache got accepted into the Linux kernel, which you would think would be an amazing thing, right?

We've now got another file system native in the Linux kernel because this is one of the downsides of ZFS is the licensing drama.

Are you familiar with all that?

The trouble with BSD is I learned Linux first.

So all my muscle memory is Linux.

Same.

That was me.

And just stuff like the way that grep works or sed works or just basic command line utilities like that.

It's just different enough in BSD land that I'm like, I'll just go back to what I know.

Yeah.

There's a lot to like about the BSD universe.

There really is.

But it's just never stuck for me.

The other option you've got

It's just a Raspberry Pi with a USB hard drive and shove it under the stairs at your mom's house or something, you know?

You are not going to be limited by the performance of the Raspberry Pi.

You're going to be limited by the performance, presumably, of your internet pipe.

Right, right.

That's going to be the bottleneck.

And even if you do end up being limited by some local thing on the Raspberry Pi, it's a backup.
