How science fiction can shape the future: Q and A with Kim Stanley Robinson in c/fiction@slrpnk.net

Interesting sci-fi stories have the villains be defenders of the status quo, both fictional and real. For example, in New York 2140, KSR has the protagonists seeking to collapse global economy for various ends, including protecting and empowering climate refugees.

Synology is a NAS Iʼd recommend. However, after you become more familiar with the command line and if you are building your own Debian machine with a motherboard that supports many hard drives, I would recommend something like this procedure; this applies especially if you are the only one who will be accessing the files and are just wanting a way to combine the storage capacities of multiple hard drives.

Ultimately, mining should be banned from the surface of Earth. Let miners build orbital solar panel infrastructure close to the Sun where power is plentiful. See Bitcoin developer Peter Todd's 2017-09-10 presentation on the subject (transcript).
