[linux] recommend a 4 bay hot-swap chassis?

2021-01-23 Thread Alan McKay
Hey folks,

I have a couple of these and was looking for another one but seems
they are no longer available.  They go nicely into a tower case and
provide cheap drive hot-swap capabilities on a Linux server.

https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B00DGZ42SM

I think they were only about $80 each when I bought them.

Anyone have a recommendation for something similar?  I've been
searching around and not much coming up.

thanks,
-Alan

This request eventually reminded me about the Purism phone:

https://puri.sm/

which purports to be a ground-up phone OS designed for privacy.

I have not bought it but maybe I should.

I was under the impression that the person who started the
company was in Toronto but they are based in the States now.
But that is a vague memory and may be entirely false.

They don't have social media icons.  Their web page (front page)
is served from one server (impressive!).  They have a warrant
canary page and two people gpg-sign a message for that page on
a monthly basis.

Looks legit.

I'm guessing they are expensive as they are not subsidized
by Big Tech.  Haven't seen prices yet.
