NASberry pi, recommendations - Lemmy.World

I am new to raspberry pi and have picked up a pi4 which i intend to use for small projects to learn how to use them. I have a pi1b from years ago but only spun it up for the first time a few weeks ago to serve as a pihole and a jump box to get inside my network with tailscale for various reason. Its not powerful enough for anything beyond that that i need I want to start with a NAS for a media server and have read about HATs you can use but im getting confused about what is better between SATA HATs and m.2 hats or just using USB with power injection for HDDs. I intended to set up RAID 5 with 4 SSDs but am appy to go a different route. I just want something basic but not too slow and not too bulky. The pi is a pi4b 8gb model. I did search before asking here but couldn’t find what i needed. Thanks in advance.

Winning is easy, trying is hard. - Lemmy.World

Winning something is easy, to win you must already be good at that thing, but in order to get good you must try and fail over and over until you are good. And thats the true test, having the strength to keep going and trying. My son was struggling with going down a ramp on his scooter, he was scared to try, then he tried and failed, he was scared to try again. And after much encouragement and trying smaller ramps and other bits we got to a point where he wasn’t scared to try and he could do the whole ramp. And now he is winning every time and its easy for him. Winning is easy, trying is hard.

A secret is something you keep, whilst a surprise is something you give. - Lemmy.World

I was trying to help my 5 year old son understand the difference between a secret and a surprise. We always taught him that we don’t keep secrets, mostly to try to keep him from lying to us, but also to protect him in general. But when saying we need to not tell mummy about a surprise we are planning he tells me we don’t keep secrets. And this is what i came up with to help him understand the difference. Secrets are kept and hidden from someone. whereas a surprise is held to be given to someone.

Interesting phishing attempt? Or something else? - Lemmy.World

This appears to be a legitimate email from google regarding an attempt to use my password to log into google. Sent to an old AOL account i keep for trash. They used the first half of my AOL address with an @googlemail.com, which is close to a googlemail address i actually have and asks me to log in to verify the activity. Im not sure how they intend to access my gmail accounts as this is a legitimate email from google and would direct me to the google accounts page so they would not have visibility of my passwords i use to try to log in. Im not sure what this is. Why would they use my AOL email address as a recovery account for a fake gmail account i dont have access to? How to they intend to get my log in details this way? Any thoughts anyone? Ps hope this is the roght place for this question.

What reasons are there for being concerned about companies like google and meta etc collecting data and tracking me? - Lemmy.World

Please understandnim asking this question from a genuine place. I dont want the quora answer, i want the tech savvy, security expert minds of my fellow lemmings. If thats ok? What happens to this data? What can/do they do with it? and why are so many people concerned about google tracking them? Do i as an average user need to be concerned? If so, What sorts of things can i do to avoid being tracked? Preferably without too much comprimise.
