To a large degree, the point of RAID is to not care about drive reliability, trust the process. Also, you seem to conflate RAID with backup ("RAID is not a backup"), you want both. In a NAS, you're probably better off with RAID5 + backup.
In a system that can take a drive failure, the current datahoarder zeitgeist is Manufacturer Recertified (Enterprise) Drives, see ServerPartDeals.com if you're a yank, other countries have their own options.
I'd suggest you move toward a backup approach ("RAID is not a backup") first. Assuming you have 2x10Tb, get a 3rd and copy half of your files to it, disconnect it, and now half your files are protected. Save, get another, copy the other half, now all your files are protected. If you're trying to do RAID on USB, don't, you are already done, otherwise (using SATA or better) you can proceed to build your array in an orderly fashion.
I have a bunch of old bare hard drives with tons of content sitting on them, and I was thinking about setting up a new NAS / piracy Linux box, as a backend for Plex or similar....
The *arr suite, e.g. rando hard drive TV show, add show to sonarr, import (yes it's usually that easy), movies - radarr, seeking out stuff you're watching now - prowlarr. Quite mature and way easier than hunting through streaming services.
When you need speed in Python, after profiling, checking for errors, and making damn sure you actually need it, you code the slow bit in C and call it.

When you need speed in Assembly, after profiling, checking for errors, and making damn sure you actually need it, you're screwed.
Which is not to say faster Python is unwelcome, just that IMO its focus is frameworking, prototyping or bashing out quick and perhaps dirty things that work, and that's a damn good thing.
Sure, I was being mildly facetious, but pointing to a better pattern, the nature of python means it is, barring some extreme development, always going to be an order of magnitude slower than compiled. If you're not going to write even a little C, then you need to look for already written C / FORTRAN / (SQL for data) / whatever that you can adapt to reap those benefits. Perhaps a general understanding of C and a good knowledge of what your Python is doing is enough to get a usable result from a LLM.
So I saw this post here a couple days ago about music piracy and got interested in soulseek. I've installed nicotine in a docker container and started searching for some music....
Yeah, some dickheads apparently want to monetize and should die in a fire, but it doesn't hurt to ask. Patience usually does the trick, but I need to work out how to filter Private out of search results.
I managed to get Photoshop CS6 installed on Lutris, using the script on their site. The problem is however, that whenever I open a file (doesn't matter if it is jpg, png, psd, etc.) the screen remains black. I can see the picture in the Layer thumbnail, but not in the main work-area. Does anyone know what the problem might be?...
No idea if it works, but I installed something similar a few years back, and it worked (might have been CS6 at that). Searching Photoshop linux github has a few hits. There's also a project for GIMP to skin the interface to look like Ps, I just sucked it up and learned GIMP...
How does this play for you ? I identify as spectrum, what used to be Asperger's, and have to work really hard to get to visual phantasia, but I can. Also worked hard to remove aural phantasia? via meditation because of negative self talk. Do you see 'aphant' as a useful designation? Thoughts, Ideas?
Amazon Prime, like many services, is a DRM hell. It won't go to over 480p on Firefox on Linux at my end. However, instead of a rant, I am interested in why this is happening. Say, I rented the same film from YouTube Movies(Yes, such a service exists) and the quality can toggle all the upto 1080p but the same title on Prime Video...
This sounds like thinking I had as carer for my mother with dementia/Alzheimer's. If so, I found introducing new things to be not useful, it will be soon forgotten, (If not, good, and ignore this, but XY-Problem indeed). What I found actually useful was remote video monitoring on my phone (using a few RasPi's, I'm sure there are better solutions, but I was poor, and it worked) allowing me to go out in necessity. The other thing I wish I'd done earlier is reach out to any and all available support earlier rather than later, it's a marathon and every edge you can get will allow you to do better for all concerned, not least yourself.
That said, watches with automatic fall monitoring, with SMS alert to you would be useful. Ideally, something like Alexa (but preferably not as privacy invading, still, needs must as the devil drives) or whatever allowing her to just call out "help" and get a call to you on a speaker / microphone is probably achievable now, perhaps someone can chime in, or you can go searching. Best of luck!
In what way are you not re-inventing the gluetun wheel ? Not trying to put you down, just that I'd need a good reason to consider anything less battle hardened.
I don't route all my system's traffic through Gluetun, my threat model doesn't need it, I just route relevant apps, e.g. package management is in the clear but firefox, SearXNG, and nicotine go via gluetun. SSH can look after itself, or I'm in dire trouble. If my threat model did need it, I'd be considering a similar solution to yours, but it'd be heavily cribbed from the known good of gluetun, basically the docker (podman) put to bare metal.

I've started setting up my media server and was wondering if I should put my docker containers with sonarr and radarr behind my VPN the same as my qbit?
Probably unenforceable, like so much of EULAs, but enough to deter the small guys who can't afford the lawyers to defend themselves. Bully tactics. Shame, because an open playing field would benefit everyone but nvidia, also a shame that AMD, who probably could defend themselves, dropped financial support for ZLUDA.
Are there other human traits like light skin which people developed to adapt to the "new" environment they settled in?
