I think the answer is somewhere in the middle, and depends on your definition of "swimming"

Can a grown adult who can stay calm in stressful situations learn swimming well enough from a book so that he doesn't drown the first time he jumps in a pool. Yes

Can everyone do that, definitely not.

It also depends on the activity, you can probably learn bowling from a book good enough to hit the pins and then get better from there.

You could definitely not learn to fly a helicopter from a book.

tl;dr It started with running Home Assistant for my smart home.

Eventually it became running my own servers to replace google & Microsoft etc.

Thanks. ODROID allows 4 drives with sata, it's a really nice solution.

You could attach even more with using nvme

Paradox of tolerance

The paradox of tolerance is a philosophical concept suggesting that if a society extends tolerance to those who are intolerant, it risks enabling the eventual dominance of intolerance; thereby undermining the very principle of tolerance.

Very much so, but I do enjoy gross overkill.

I'll build them into a future case then they won't be as overkill

The other HDD I have is a WD Gold, it's definitely the louder of the two, both of them are ~5 years old. Now that I moved the databases off of them, they are quieter than my work laptop, so they don't bug me.

But oh boy, it really did sound like a train yard at one point.
