No, I didn't "forget your name", I didn't store it in the first place, it's called being GDPR compliant.

The goal of the companies who run AIs is to
1. get us all to use AI until the point where
2. we're dependent on AI, then
3. remove all access to AI and
4. grant the privilege of use only to those who pay a monthly fee,
5. which will periodically rise
6. while the service becomes worse and worse.
It'll be enshittification of enshittification.

these 24TB drives are *insanely* cheap (£10.83/TB)
they're only rated for 2400h/yr operation (so 27% uptime) and 120TB/yr (which is only 0.137DWPD, aka 5DWPY) but they're CMR. not bad as an infrequent secondary or tertiary backup solution.
quite tempted to get one as a cheap temporary backup store for the NAS. plug it in once every 4-6 months and save a copy of the pool to it.

Please don't plug keyboards or other devices into random USB ports, ok?
@Richard_Littler cautionary instruction to novices around maintaining safe distance from rotors...
@JennyList add a small quantity of Caesium if relocating the toilet one block is an alternative consideration, I guess. carefully. ideally by some form of mechanical proxy.
