  • It’s way too late at night for me to give an in-depth answer, but I just wanted to let you know that if you plan on adding drives over time, you might want to check out running the disks in JBOD instead of RAID and the use ZFS to create the storage volume. Redundancy supported, and you can add disks whenever you need more space. The disks don’t even have to be the same size.



  • I mostly write utilities/tools like this. Some examples from my ~/bin/ folder:

    • A script that turns caps lock off and numlock on, and remaps caps lock to compose. I have this run by cron every minute.
    • A script that saves the current buffer of my continously running screen recorder to a file. Bound to the Lenovo coilot key.
    • A half-finished script that downloads and installs the latest version of discord, as Discord and ants me to manually upgrade it every time I start it.

    Edit: OH, and on my work laptop I have a script named Fnkeyfuckery. The keyboard layout is annoying in that I have to choose between Function keys or have Home+End.
    I want my function keys AND I want home+end. Luckily I don’t need F11 and F12 very often, so I’swapped around those two with their alternate function. That way I have F1 through F10, Home and End by default, and if I hold Fn I can have F11 and F12 too. It runs on startup.
