    Your family isn’t dumber than average.

    Uu tech folks tend to forget/overlook that most people are clueless as to how mobile devices work. I have IT friends who know practically nothing about the Android file system, or how apps store (but don’t sync) data, for example. And these are people designing/implementing/supporting complex systems.

    Most people can’t be bothered if there’s more than one or two steps. I can’t walk my “70 year old uncle” through configuring an app on his phone, over the phone. The stuff he says he sees make no sense at all. I’m like “no, that’s not what you should see, what did you click on”?.








  • Good HR people are there to protect the company, yes, but they’re also there to protect the employees.

    Their primary responsibility is to protect the company, protecting employees only matters in the context of protecting the company.

    Didn’t bother reading the rest, because you’re already bullshitting.

  • I wonder if maybe some kind of notification system for her, and you, would be useful (in addition to blocking).

    Then maybe you can interrupt her, perhaps talk about it, or setup some tools for her to use to help manage stuff and learn along the way.

    Guess what I’m going for is the learning/growth angle, rather than just automatic constraints (which hy themselves don’t teach or help us learn to manage this stuff ourselves).

    Seems like there’s a need for all this for all kids, not just neuro-atypical.


  • Ah, OK.

    Yea, not sure if these units can yet support expansion of a data set.

    BTRFS and ZFS technically have the capability (from what I recall) in the latest versions, the question is does the device you’re looking at support the capability? I haven’t looked into enough of them to know for sure.

    That said, my ancient Drobo can do this, but… It will only see the new size once you upgrade all the drives. It will resilver with a new larger drive but until all drives are upgraded it won’t use the extra drive space of an added larger drive.

    (And yes, Drobo is garbage, this one was free, I had some spare drives and I use it as a third local storage device, kind of a spare I don’t really trust).




  • What do you mean by “possibility to upgrade storage other than just replacing drives with bigger ones”

    That’s pretty much all you can do with a fixed number of drive slots.

    Today’s NAS’s use some form of ZFS/BTRFS, so they’re really good at handling new drives. Though I think dynamic expansion is just coming on line in the latest versions, and may not be in production just yet
