I just looked at my weather app (Today Weather), and the report of the current temperature varies by 6°F depending on which data set I choose. I go with the National Weather Service (federal govt).
As far as predicting precipitation, the radar seems pretty good for the next few hours. I press play on it, and it tells me what it thinks the radar will look like for the next 7 hours in 15 mins increments.
I think that predicting the weather beyond a day gets pretty difficult because the weather is too chaotic. The best they can do is to gather data from local weather stations and see how often it rained when they had these same data in the past. So basically, it’s like saying, “When the temp has been 85°F, humidity 62%, wind from WNW at 5 kts, pressure at 1016 mBar, and the date was July 29, it rained 6 times out of 10.”
While I only have one PC I did write over my old Windows drive about a month ago, I haven’t loaded into Windows 10 in nearly a year and I fear how many updates it would have forced upon me at once…
Double the capacity, double the speed, double the risk. If you have your entire system backed up, you can throw caution in the wind and risk taking out your entire system when one of the drives dies.
I used to run two older HDDs in RAID0 to speed up loading games; if one of the HDDs died, I would’ve bought something better in its place, and I could re-download the game whenever I want.
As long as it has the ports, I can look into options for cases. I only need 2x 3.5" drives for now, the other two are just for upgrade options (e.g. buy two bigger drives, copy from existing array to new array, remove old drives, etc).
If you go down the VPS route, a headscale server on a cheap $3.50 VPS would be the way to go. Wouldn’t even have to deal with IP addresses at that point, while still being able to self-host all your services, with the cheap VPS being a glorified switch/firewall.
