Good morning everyone,
I've been in the industry for over 30 years, working for all kinds of companies - from 200 people startups to 300k+ mastodons. I started getting back into retro stuff in the past year or so, and I was surprised by how much joy this has brought me. Lately I've been feeling kind of burnt out by having spent so much time in the industry. Tinkering with old stuff has certainly helped rejuvenate the passion for tech.
Anyway, I've been working on a project to build myself a network attached storage that I can connect to from various retro machines. I've always been a software guy with little exposure to hardware and networks so I learned a lot in the process of researching and building the NAS. I wanted to share the experience with you in case someone else is thinking about putting something similar together. I wrote two blog posts covering the hardware and software configuration. I hope this isn't classified as self promotion. I maintain this website for my own personal use (to keep notes and keep myself motivated to do more retro projects). I don't run adds or monetise it any other way.
I hope this info is useful. If you have any other suggestions/feedback, please feel free to share. I'd greatly appreciate it.
Have an awesome day everyone!
Nick
