The state objected to their labeling, not their product. They labeled the toy as OK for 14+. The state says that magnets must be labeled as not safe for 14 and under. The labeling included 14 year olds as part of an acceptable audience. From an observers perspective, the company has been completely immature about the entire event. They responded with inflammatory accusations of persecution and have used the event repeatedly in their marketing. And now they are shutting down...? The company should have been fine. This misrepresentation makes me wish I hadn't given them money. There are alternatives out there.
Why wouldn't business should have a strong objection to this? All sorts of intellectual property, internal financial data, client data, medical records, financial records, and/or personnel files could be compromised, and not just by the FBI or a rogue agent. This is the practice of intentionally creating a backdoor with standard access mechanisms that's usage will inevitably be undetectable.
I don't see the ability to dynamically expand FreeNAS. (Just add a drive and expand the protected space)

I use this on all new drives. I run it twice or three times. It has saved me from a failure more than once.

Open source gives you several great advantages. You don't give it to your company, but you get the credit anyways, while maintaining control of the project. The company gets to use it and you get the advantages you spoke of at work. You also improve your resume globally.

Unraid works well for a home solution. I had 2x2 TB drives fail within a one month period of time and lost no data.
Telling people they can't afford something is never popular.
But guess what.
We can't afford it.
I remember a slashdot article some time back about the permanence of the internet. I have friends that have been unable to 'start over' because of this very fact. Combining that reality with a requirement for real names is dangerous. Some comment you made on Facebook 25 years before will impact your ability to get a job, run for public office, etc.

It is so much more, and so much better.

It isn't TSA's fault that they can't keep us safe, just that they keep chasing after an impossible goal.
Does an app exist that will slightly adjust your files so as to change hashes, etc? Bulk processing? Seems like it would be a pretty easy way to launder your collection.
