All about that bass, 'bout that bass

Me too, but the pessimist in me thinks that the fine will work out to a 0.1% cost of doing business tax. Then publicly pinkie promise that they'll never do it again, while not stopping and showing no signs of stopping. ๐Ÿ˜“๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

That would provide the storage. If you left it connected to a computer that was permanently on, and that computer was connected to a network, you've got a NAS. โ˜บ๏ธ

There's more to grow from there. You'll want to consider backups before too long as a safeguard against data loss, (but if this is your first NAS, that can be a task for another day)

Syncthing is what Dropbox was before Dropbox became a cloud service. It synchronizes files between two or more computers in real time, efficiently and using encryption. It uses open protocols and is open source.

A NAS is Network Attached Storage. It's basically just a computer dedicated to providing you storage space. (Could be as simple as an old laptop with external USB drives hosting a Windows share to โ€ฆ much much more complicated, including dedicated specialized hardware or NAS-specific OS). Having your own NAS is important to building your own cloud alternatives, in my opinion.

Have you considered syncthing & NAS?

But even that would cover a large percentage of the American workforce, and I imagine over a few years, it will grow to cover all users that don't need personal accountants. Progress is progress.

Personally, I hope this transitions into a system where they email you a proposed return and you do nothing to accept it (only needing to take action if there's an issue).

I have a similar use case, what do you recommend on the pi for a TV OS?

Impeachment by a future Congress was what I had in mind loosely. But I'm just one(1) person and not an expert on the subject. I suspect there may be options I do not see, but keeping a record is important to any future action on the matter.

A slightly less naive take is that we're getting these statements on public record, so that we can take action on them later (assuming that day ever comes ๐Ÿ˜“)

I think I have somewhere to be. Quick! Can I have a ride?

"Looks like the book only included the Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Those two amendments were not specifically excluded. This is rage bait. "
