Makes sense. In a small community everyone knows each other and can rely on trust/reputation to keep things fair.
You don't want hardware raid. Some options you can research:
- Mdadm - Linux software raid
- ZFS - Combo raid and filesystem
- Btrfs - A filesystem that can also do raid things
Some OS options to consider:
- Debian - good if you want to learn to do everything yourself
- Truenas Scale - Comercial NAS OS. I bit of work to get started, but very stable once going.
- Unraid - Enthusiast focused NAS OS. Not as stable as Truenas, but easier to get started and a lot of community support.
There are probably other software/OS's to consider, but those are the ones I have any experience with. I personally use ZFS on Truenas with a lot of help from this YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@lawrencesystems?si=O1Z4BuEjogjdsslF
They are loosing to Sony so they have to find new ways of competing for business. You know, how it's supposed to work.

They are, but it's literally a single pixel video resolution and a really low frame rate.
If it still has working USB you can hook it up to a $10 raspberry pi with wifi to act as a print server. I can understand if that's a more ambitious tech project than your ready to take on.
Having read the article it sounds like Pat is more complaining that Intel would have been positioned to milk the AI cow if the previous CEOs weren't fucking idiots.
Gotta meet the customer where they are, not where you would like them to be. Most people don't want to learn a new thing.
Which you can probably afford to do with the money you save working from here me.
I do that so much at work I must be a warlock.
So you want a modded steam deck?
I think an important detail is likely missing. My experience as a software engineer intern included getting paid well and full benefits as an employee. So legally I was an hourly employee and I think the label of "intern" was to set expectations work/performance/responsibility.
