overview for LazerFX

I... Am really struggling to figure out if this is satire or an actual "meant" comment. I mean, they're taking lyrics and the logo from one of Pink Floyd's most famous albums; on the other hand they're invoking "woke" shibboleths in a weird way... Not knowing the context, who the Xitter user is and just looking at the image, it feels like something you'd create to poke fun at those who routinely chant, "woke" as if it's a bad thing...

I... quite like that, you know. That was Bing Dall-E with the prompt, "Make me an image of LazerFX"

It's quite spectactular. I think the politcs on both sides are awful, and I really feel for the civillians who are just trying to live their lives under this bullshit. Both sides need to step up and take responsibility for their major, horrific fuckups and problems; and the west in general needs to take responsibility for kicking people out of their homes to make homes for others... but also both sides just need to stop fucking hurting each other for a minute in order to progress.

I love this concept... it takes the humanity out of alien/foreign/different races. If done properly, you can easily conceptualise different views of the world. Something like the sort of thing John Scalzi has done with his works - let's work through how a different viewpoint actually works and then work out where the jagged edges are - all of a sudden, the different races are fighting with each other because they see the world diferently and don't communicate properly so they assume all of the others think the same way (because they can't concieve of anythign else without looking that far into it) and boom you've got a realistic world with in-built fracture lines...

So I'm looking to build my own CM4-based NAS appliance. I figure that I've got the time to build it, and it'll be cheaper, more powerful and more capable than an off-the-shelf appliance (such as a QNAP or Synology device).

I'm looking to use it for self-hosting, probably 2 - 4 SSD's to run it (Happy to spend the money on the drives, as I can spread that out over time)... will likely start with a relatively cheap 2tib 2.5" SSD like the Crucial BX500 and scale up as I go...

I'd like a relatively neat box - something like the Argon EON. I'd like to use the CM4 because it's got the PCI-E so you can use a relatively full-speed ACPI interface to the SATA ports, which rules out the Argon EON (Except, possibly, as a donor case). I don't have a 3D Printer, but I'd be happy to purchase a printed model from a makers group or similar. I'm happy to actually build up a unit (setting up fans, etc.) but I've no soldering experience whatsoever.

Software-wise, I've already got a RPI4 which I've been playing around with... Seems pretty good, and I had pi-hole running on it for a while (until SD card unreliability took it down).

Does anyone have any experience with a build like this? Any advice on what cases to use, what hats for the PCIE-to-SATA work best? Anything at all, really, that you'd advise?
