I’ve only ever lived in Oregon and Washington, in both those states its legal if you are just doing it off existing rooftops and using it on your property. I think, in both those states you could run into issues (or at least need a permit and water rights) if you build a system specifically for catching water.

I think Colorado is the only state with the 110gal rule.

Maybe some specific state, county or city, but definitely not a general rule in the US.

Interesting. Never heard of it. Seems overly complicated to make it gender based. But I like the idea.

I like the idea of a Random Folks shed lol

That’s so cool! Such an amazing resource. I wish more library’s did that.

I use my OG pixel phone plus syncthing for unlimited photo and video backup on Google photos. Think I’m going to move away from this soon though, trying to slowly get away from Google.

Yeah that HAT looks pretty sweet, haven’t found a place to buy it though.

Power supply of those 3.5" discs will be the main problem, as you can’t do that over USB.

Yeah I would have to come up with some other way to power the drives, the OWC enclosure has a power supply, but not sure I could harvest what I need. I’m going to have to open it up and see how useful it might be.

Another thought is this m.2 to sata adapter that I could put in the NUC5. I would still have to figure out power though.

thanks, yeah I’ve been looking into the ROCK Pi Dual/Quad SATA HAT but it doesn’t seem super available in the US. I’d also have to buy a raspberry pi. Could be worth it though

super cool. thanks for the link.
