Yeah, well for many of us it's decaf or no coffee due to health issues. You acting like it's a foolish, childish thing is just tribalism/elitism.
And for what it's worth, I'd put my decaf vs your coffee in a heartbeat. A good roaster with quality beans is great coffee, decaf or no. Just like Hoffman said.
I've had great experiences with exactly one vendor of second hand disks.
Currently running 8x14TB in a striped & mirrored zpool.
Really all I do is setup fail2ban on my very few external services, and then put all other access behind wireguard.
Logs are clean, I'm happy.
Yeah, you should be scrubbing weekly or monthly, depending on how often you are using the data. Scrub basically touches each file and checks the checksums and fixes any errors it finds proactively. Basically preventative maintenance.

Set that up in a cron job and check zpool status periodically.
No dedup is good. LZ4 compression is good. RAM to disk ratio is generous.
Check your disk's sector size and vdev ashift. On modern multi-TB HDDs you generally have a block size of 4k and want ashift=12. This being set improperly can lead to massive write amplification which will hurt throughput.

How about snapshots? Do you have a bunch of old ones? I highly recommend setting up a snapshot manager to prune snapshots to just a working set (monthly keep 1-2, weekly keep 4, daily keep 6 etc) https://github.com/jimsalterjrs/sanoid
And to parrot another insightful comment, I also recommend checking the disk health with SMART tests. In ZFS as a drive begins to fail the pool will get much slower as it constantly repairs the errors.
And most decent indexers these days.
Using automation software like the Arrs, dramatically improves the UX/UI, providing another layer of filtering too.
The cost for these things isn't terribly high. You can get three excellent indexers and a good provider for less than $12USD a month.
ZFS is a very robust choice for a NAS. Many people, myself included, as well as hundreds of businesses across the globe, have used ZFS at scale for over a decade.
Attack the problem. Check your system logs, htop, zpool status.
When was the last time you ran a zpool scrub? Is there a scrub, or other zfs operation in progress? How many snapshots do you have? How much RAM vs disk space? Are you using ZFS deduplication? Compression?
Disagree. I've never encountered malware in over a decade. Cost of should be less than the cost of a Netflix subscription.
Shinedown The Sound of Madness
I love all of their albums, but there's something truly special about the musicality and emotional impact of the songs and album as a whole for The Sound of Madness
There subsequent albums are fantastic, but have more ups and downs than the consistent high bar of The Sound of Madness
Similarly, I think Disturbed Immortalized was Disturbed's peak work, with The Light and The Sound of Silence being incredible peaks of their signature style and highly musical storytelling on a fantastic album.
Voice has never made me want a different player, fwiw.
Rofl. I just imagine OP furiously updating LinkedIn with "AI Programmer".
You sincerely think you have a better grasp on coffee than James Hoffmann?
Much more likely you haven't tried good decaf from a good roaster, tried a blind tasting, or your preparation is seriously flawed.
