The original interview is no longer available, but here are references.

Microsoft CEO and incontinent over-stater of facts Steve Ballmer said that "Linux is a cancer that attaches itself in an intellectual property sense to everything it touches," during a commercial spot masquerading as a interview with the Chicago Sun-Times on June 1, 2001.

Ballmer was trying to articulate his concern, whether real or imagined, that limited recourse to the GNU GPL requires that all software be made open source.

"The way the license is written, if you use any open-source software, you have to make the rest of your software open source," Ballmer explained to an excessively credulous, un-named Sun-Times reporter who, predictably, neglected to question this bold assertion.

Have you ensured that your setup will pass email authentication processes?

It has been a long time since email from random hosts is accepted for forwarding or delivery. This Wikipedia may help https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Email_authentication

Perhaps these links will help https://rss.feedspot.com/uk_news_rss_feeds/ https://news.sky.com/info/rss https://www.reutersagency.com/en/reutersbest/reuters-best-rss-feeds/

The BBC News RSS feeds seem to be at https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/10628494 The page content seems to be old but the feed contents looks up to date.

My guesstimate is you have around 1,400 4K DVD rips. Do you need all of them?

You probably should look at RAID 6 with a cold spare (i.e. a drive sitting alongside the server.

ZFS allows you to create spare disks. ZFS spare disks are hot spares which are swapped in for faulty disks and swapped out when you replace the faulty disk.

I suggest that you calculate the cost to build this server, you should allow for NAS specific drives rather than the cheapest desktop drives.

You will need PCI to SATA cards to connect you drives.

I suggest that you look at the NAS builds on PC Part Picker.

Have a look at these pages

Finally check how much power and heat the server will produce. A server with that many drives will loud.

There is another piece in their library that may be more appropriate "AI Took My Job"

[EDIT - fixed missing words]

I would look for a printer that supports Web Services for Devices (WSD) or Airscan (eSCL). These protocol allows you setup a scanner without installing a driver.

Here are a couple of starting points for sane-airscan. I discovered it long after I had installed the drivers for my all-in-one.

Have a look at the size of the Finnish waste repository.

"They'll hold a total of 5,500 tonnes of waste," says Joutsen. "So Onkalo will take all the high-level nuclear waste produced by Finland's five nuclear power plants in their entire life cycles."

The Finnish repository is designed with a life of 100,000 years. Homo sapiens (i.e us) have existed for about 300,000 years.

Chrome reports the memory a tab uses if you hover over the tab. Look at the task manager within your browser. Try clicking on the burger bar, then "More tools" and "Task Manager" within the browser.

The Tweaks application has a switch to enable maximize buttons on windows https://itsfoss.com/gnome-minimize-button/

Gnome has workspaces. I currently 3 workspaces open. I regularly have four or more open. https://help.gnome.org/users/gnome-help/stable/shell-workspaces.html.en

As @[email protected] says you may be able to do this with find command. This command lists all PDF files under ~/tmp that were created more than 7 days ago and does a directory listing. You could use this as a basis to move create an archive of individual files.

find ~/tmp -ctime +7 -iname "*pdf" -exec ls -rlht {} \;

The find command also has a -delete flag.

I have in the past used this combination to implement file management. I don't have access to the script any more. I don't remember why we used a shell script rather than logrotate as per @[email protected]

Go to https://rpilocator.com/ and filter by your "region" and check for yourself. Most models seems to be available. The Rapsberry Pi 5 is available for pre-order from a number of suppliers.
