Photographers of bsky - what's the fastest home NAS setup available?

I want to host a 2-3TB photo/video library and access it from my macbook, a linux desktop, and a windows desktop. I want to be able to edit photos and videos from any of these machines while feeling like a local drive.

On the way to Mount Cook.

Claude 3.7 Sonnet is incredible for writing little tools / scripts. I'm basically one-shotting fairly complex things that would have taken me half-day or more. Gemini 2.0 Flash failed over and over with dumb mistakes.

My family and I are going to Japan for the first time at the end of April. We'll be there for 2 weeks or so. My kids are 9-12. I really know nothing about Japan.

Where should we go and what should we do? Give me your best Japan tips.

Watching the Super Bowl from New Zealand.

Pros
- TVNZ streams it for free - no hassle.

Cons
- Commercials are boring local commercials (adverts for other TVNZ shows, DIY stores, etc)
- It's 1pm on Monday

Vegemite. Looks like dark chocolate. Spreads like dark chocolate. Your brain knows it's not dark chocolate but you can't help expecting it to taste sweet like dark chocolate. The shocking contrast makes it taste extra like arse.

New Zealand bureaucracy is pretty dang efficient. Yesterday I made an online appointment at one of many AA offices. Today I filled out a short form, showed an existing license, took an eye test, and came out as a NZ driver's license holder in 30 minutes. I arrived in Christchurch on Saturday. 😊

My Rivian has the coolest headlights. Basically full-time high beams but the matrix LEDs track and black out any vehicle as to not blind them.

The crazy United Healthcare CEO story reminded me of when my daughter was born and some glitch in their computers toggled her existence on/off for months, sending me a new insurance card each time. We had to fight them for coverage for like a year. Good times.

I'm in Asheville, NC for a couple of weeks. HMU if you want to:
- ride bikes
- play tennis
- tell me about Asheville and why it's a great place to live
- talk shop (computers, smb, health/wellness)

I'm spending the next 2 weeks in Raleigh, NC to learn about the city/neighborhoods to see if we want to move here. It reminds me of Austin when we moved there in 2008!

This West Virginia license plate I saw today might be unbeatable.

Early election results!

- Harris: 3 votes
- Trump: 3 votes

Unbelievably neck and neck so far.

Walked around downtown Nashville this morning. It's a lot like Austin.

The Austin airport let me down today (well, more like Clear instead of just Pre✅ was a huge mistake).

In related news, I'm sleeping in Nashville tonight. 😔
