have 2 flash/hard/whatever drives: A and B
once a month (or at what ever frequency you can sustain)
backup your data to A and next cycle backup your data to B
nothing fancy or technical, just some basic consistent backups.
if you can do that you’ll likely be fine. There are nearly infinitely many enhancements you can do if you are more technical or can follow technical instructions.

you just probably want something better.
and that is the problem building higher performance requires more advanced lithography and that is expensive and until recently was not even an option for a hobbyist (without taking a mortgage on their house).
Given current stagnation, you need only wait about 10 years for that viable option.

I refuse to use a terminal emulator that needs more than 100MB of RAM to display 80x24 green text on a black display
Raid stopped being optimal now that btrfs and ZFS exist.
If you plan on doing matching drives ZFS is recommended
If you expect mismatched disks, btrfs will work.
If you are most worried about stability get a computer with ECC memory.
If you are most worried about performance, use SSD drives.
If you want a bunch of storage for cheap, use spinning disks (unless you exceed the 100TB capacity range)

Support the FSF if that is a legitimate concern to you

Really looking forward to seeing this packaged in Guix
Well the minimal bars for electronics is:
0 - The repair manual exists and is readily available with full schematics of the item in question.
1 - Replacement parts are available for purchase.
2 - Compatible replacement parts are made by 2 or more 3rd party companies
3 - Designs for replacement parts are available
4 - Local maker space is able to make the needed replacement parts.
If you can’t get level 0, you probably shouldn’t buy it if you expect to keep it working for life.
