OP isn’t asking “why do you like chocolate?”.

If OP were curious why his name is what it is, he could ask the person who came up with it. He could have reasons for it, or not, but that person would know.

In this case, he’s asking the community if they know the origin of the name for the Lemmy project. The answer could range from “It was completely random, just something that came up in my head” to “I thought the project reflected a trait in a particular animal, so felt the name would represent that”.

So it’s potentially an answerable question, unlike “why do you like chocolate?”.

In fact, direct from the github page:

Why Is It Called Lemmy?

Lead singer from Motörhead.

The old school video game.

The Koopa from Super Mario.

The furry rodents.

My experience with all the media servers is not great.

Popped up Jellyfin once again just last weekend and the quality was not great, and it had issues streaming. Just like every time I’ve tried any media server.

The answer for me is a media player pc at the TV running something like Kodi.

Remember, 3-2-1 is all about not fully trusting any one backup.

I have 4 replicants of my data at home (because any one of them could die at any time) with an online backup. Not the best setup, but it’s what I can do at the moment.

As for RAID, that’s a solution for a specific problem(s).

You buy a couple servings of hot chocolate occasionally? Like why not buy a season’s worth at once? It’s not like it takes much space.

They do, so I’m not sure how he got away with this.
