As someone who has been vegan for 25 years, I really appreciate your choices and empathize with your motivations. If, however, your goal is to make a difference, you might want to avoid alienating your audience before you've even said anything.
Do you understand kernel memory management fundamentals? I'm asking because what you wrote here strongly suggests otherwise - so, unless you're able to show me I'm wrong, I'm going to stick with my conclusion that this is all incorrect and likely complete bullshit.
Off topic: I see your name in orange in the Voyager app. Is this a per-comment flag on Lemmy (that you have the option to set when posting), or just something apps might do based on the value of an account-level flag?
Don't be like this, it's so exhausting. Even if you struggle with sarcasm, all you need to do is take half a second to ask yourself if it's possible it could be a joke. For an obviously flippant comment like this—obvious because it has no other value—you will literally never go wrong interpreting it as a joke. If it is a bit more complex, ask: "Sorry, I just want to confirm, did you mean this sincerely?"
This is really good, I just want to clarify one thing:
there are specific protocols that are traditionally used on those specific ports
Protocols are not 'used on ports', it's actually the other way around: TCP and UDP are both protocols operating on top of IP, each with its own set of ports to help direct traffic, exactly as you explained.
There are other protocols, like ICMP or GRE, that exist quite happily without knowing anything about ports (ICMP has types and codes, GRE doesn't).
Edit: I suppose it is actually a bit ambiguous because we also refer to applications (HTTPS, telnet) as protocols. I'm not sure if there is a standard way to differentiate when discussing other than just saying transport layer protocol / application layer protocol.
Unfortunately I have a lot of experience with this: attaching permanent array members via USB is a bad idea. OP, if it's not too late, and assuming you haven't already and decided to double down on yolo, I'd recommend reading about the downsides of this approach. It is easy to find relevant discussions (and catastrophes) in r/zfs.
Thunderbolt enclosures are a bit more expensive, but they won't periodically fuck up your shit just because.
