I understand what you’re trying to say, but what's the alternative? Stop using computers? Once Meltdown and Spectre are out of the picture, there will be another crisis. That’ll happen forever, I think.

Honestly, the older I get, the more sick of IT I become, but what can we do about this?

Im in the market for a NAS right now, so this is perfect timing. I’m more willing to trust FreeNAS than MyCloud but as soon as I write that, I remember lots of Open Source is crap too.



I highly recommned this:

You get FreeNas on good hardware by people who know what they are doing. I have been running this for years and I have no complaints exept that the 8 slot variant did not exists when I bought mine.


Oh thank you, this might be perfect!

Edit: It seems they don't sell to the UK :(


I order it from the US and it was no problem. I'm in Switzerland. Payed some tax, but not enough to that it mattered for me.

It is still way better then the competition.


I am not saying that people should throw out computers and live in caves. I am just describing a current situation which makes me sad.


Oh, I agree with you; the state of computer security is really depressing :(
