The entire background. The article is vague and is designed to get people upset. They don't give any more information other than some crazy sounding percentages.
Even if they are, it isn't necessarily bad thing. If the demand is going above supply you need to decrease demand or increase supply. If you increase cost you decrease demand.
However, the article above doesn't give enough information to draw conclusions and it doesn't even have sources.

I am just sick and tired of people trying to force there beliefs on others. It feels like every other post there are people complaining about the free market. I genuinely could care less.
Communism is only possible though authoritarian governments. And even with that it collapses as basic things like farm maintenance fails to happen.
I feel like the communists on Lemmy go out of there way to reject any facts or beliefs that are remotely against communism. That is why they remove anything anti China or Russia. They see China as this Utopia and refuse to see anything else.
Just a side note you probably shouldn't be consuming foods and drinks that are high in sugar such as milkshakes, sodas and cakes. However, I think you are probably aware of that.
I disagree. Many people like to have control over there computer even if they don't want to learn a bunch of new skills.
Linux isn't for everyone but its gotten to the point where someone could figure it out if they so choose. It no longer is the unstable mess it was 10-20 years ago.
Interestingly enough, Xfce4 has a kiosk mode. You could build a custom desktop for them and restrict changes. You then could do mass updates with Ansible or Saltstack
Simplify it down if you can. Forget NFS, SSHFS and syncthing as those are to complex and overkill at the moment. SMB is dead simple in a lot of ways and is hard to mess up.
I would start by figuring out how to get more drives in your desktop. SSDs can be put anywhere but HDDs need to be mounted. I would get two big disks and put them in raid 1 and then get a small disk for the boot drive. TrueNAS is still going to be the easiest route and TrueNAS scale is based on Debian under the hood although its designed to not be modified for reliability.
Forget the USB drives. I did that for a while and it is bad in so many ways. It will come back to haunt you even if the work fine for now.
For the desktop you always could upgrade the ram or CPU if that becomes the bottleneck. If the ram is 8gb or less you should upgrade it. Make sure you are getting ram that is fast enough to keep up with the CPU. You can find more information about your CPU and its ram speed online.
For your WiFi, it actually isn't bad. You might be ok using it depending on what you are doing.
For the minipc I wouldn't use it as a NAS. You can but it is probably going to be limiting.
In case your desktop doesn't have enough Sata ports you could get a ePCI sata card. They are pretty cheap ($10) and will potentially work better if your hardware is limited.
Funny you found that card as I have the same one. I would only spend the extra money if your computer doesn't have enough sata ports.
For raid you do not want hardware raid. It is generally problematic and doesn't have any error correction. Also, if the controller were to die you could be in trouble.
The reason I say TrueNAS is that it makes the setup pretty straight forward. I have never used cockpit for file shares so I do not know if it works well or not. I do no it will require more setup and maintenance. For the software you could setup either a btrfs or ZFS raid 1 config. TrueNAS is ZFS only but it is turned for solid performance in a single job.
The reason I say raid 1 is not because it is a backup. Raid is not a backup and should not be treated as such. What it can offer is reduced downtime. If one drive fails you can simply swap out the drive. If you do not have a redundant copy you either need to recreate the data from a backup or try to do a data recovery operation. I would also recommend that you turn on snapshots as if it really handy to be able to roll back a change quickly. Snapshots are not complete backups but they are a form of version control.
As far as DDR3 goes, it is pretty slow and will not be able to come close to saturating a gigabit connection. Prepare to have slow speeds unfortunately. The good news is that if you get this setup and later decide it is time to upgrade then you can.
In this case it does. He is prejudice against the US and anything but Russia maybe China. He has repeated cited cold war rhetoric such as East vs West.
ZFS isn't part of the kernel for legal reasons. You will need to jump though hoops to make it work. (More accurately, your computer jumps though hoops to male it work)
