Still getting into programming and having a bit of trouble understanding what a "manifest" is. What does this technically entail? Are "manifests" implemented differently by PL or OS?

I'll have to get one of those 12 or 14TB harddrives in the future so I can actually have a proper NAS. Is TrueNAS what FreeNAS is now? I see their parent company is iXSystems. I've heard stuff about different file systems like "ZFS" and all these other fancy 3 letter acronyms. The last time I bought software was many years ago, so would you suggest paying for their OS? Thanks for the advice, now I just need to get a better job to actually afford the toys :(

I got an OBD-II device for reading and clearing codes and at least I can snatch them from my vehicle. I haven't heard of the dongle before, does it connect to the infotainment system and then allow you access to the underlying file system? I don't want to brick anything doing that lol

I'm going to look into FreeNAS and Unraid. I have 2 WD 2TB HDDs that are relatively new that I've needed to just pop into the switch connected to my router. The whole networking scene has been a bit overwhelming having had so much of my foundational computer knowledge shifted I haven't gotten around to it yet. I want the router set up in a different room so I can make more stuff with Ethernet possible rather than connecting wirelessly.

How does a docker container get lost? Does it have something to do with the "contiguity" of theway the block devices partition data? Does it get separated from the other blocks physically? Or is it just a software error and I'm over thinking it? Thanks for the advice!

The chemical process industry as well as undergraduate chemical engineering curriculum really needs to show that DWSIM exists as a FOSS alternative. ASPEN is a complete load of shit and is filled with tons of bloated features... It made it hard as hell to learn a software with a billion buttons on it whilst simultaneouslyadjusting to pedantic scientific vocabulary...

I didn't even know vim existed or VScodium due to my undergraduate forcing anaconda on us. The instructors had no clue how to code and neither did the graduate students, so more FOSS options are definitely needed.

To what extent could companies wreck my freedom in cars even more? I have heard of heated seats being pay walled, despite the technology to heat the seat being installed in the factory... Computer controlled locking systems where if my key fob breaks I can't get into my car, or worse, the electronic control system fails and I'm up shit creek without a paddle.

As to education, how can I even learn to repair something like that? My ignorance makes me think soldering may be useful, but how can an individual have greater control on the freedom to repair and own their automobile. The generality of my question lays in my ignorance to the inner workings of most cars.
