If OP is attempting a 3-2-1 Backup scheme, this is an irrelevant argument.

OP wants to store a backup in a different physical location while trusting that it won't be used to train AI. They are looking for services that can satisfy that.

Blue light has a documented effect on our circadian rhythm and melatonin production. It's been studied quite a bit. I'm sure mental overstimulation is a component, but it absolutely is not the whole story.

In Western society, there is a big focus on silver bullet solutions because people don't want to address issues in a holistic way. Thus, you have blue light filters instead of turning the screen off.

Of course a 6" screen doesn't produce as much as a ball of nuclear fire

But that ball of fire isn't 12 inches from your face at midnight. And, the majority of blue light filter use is targeting sleep quality. A good portion of this comes down to cumulative exposure time. The best solution is to just not look at screens after a certain hour, but no one wants to do that.

I play disc golf.

Sometimes finding my disc is a safari

The answer to your question is yes

Yeah, I'm just split between that or an odroid hc4. I wouldn't even need to buy a case for it.

What model pi? How responsive do you find it?

I'm also in the market for this.

I'm considering setting up a raspberry pi4 nas, and would love to hear pros and cons from people with experience on the matter.

I assume there are faster solutions, but I think it should meet my needs well

Unfortunately, many of us have to jump into a given role and learn the hard way whether it fits us. As an example, I never intended to go into SQA, I just fell into the role. Turns out I love it.

Stumbling into your career is inelegant, imprecise, and frustrating though.

In spite of that sometimes experience is the best teacher whether we like it or not. Good luck out there

I've been in QA for 12 years, and it can be great if you want to innovate (test automation) while also sometimes doing manual work (manual test) to punctuate hard thinking sessions.

I'm not diagnosed as neurodivergent(and strongly suspect I may have ADHD) but do I have a lot of ND coworkers in dev and QA.

This really comes down to choosing for what your ND needs. Spend some time getting to know your brain and it's particular needs. Identify what you want vs what you need.

Good luck on finding your way

Wow thanks for such a verbose post.

That's given me a lot to chew on

The tools are lacking, as you said.

This post is not about how things should be. It's not about how things might be one day. It's about how they are right now
