Yeah I wouldn't recommend using it but it does exist. I would just use Fedora server. For the same reasons I wouldn't recommend Synology.

Xpenology exists remember (running Synology OS with no Synology hardware)
...and they use money so it's capitalism.
Your source disagrees with your claim there.

" It's true that 16 bit linear PCM audio does not quite cover the entire theoretical dynamic range of the human ear in ideal conditions. Also, there are (and always will be) reasons to use more than 16 bits in recording and production.

None of that is relevant to playback; here 24 bit audio is as useless as 192kHz sampling. The good news is that at least 24 bit depth doesn't harm fidelity. It just doesn't help, and also wastes space. "

24-bit audio is obviously a noticeable improvement even on $150 headphones. I don't know why you think that. Similarly, 4k Blu-ray is obviously vastly superior to crappy compressed streams from Netflix or YouTube.

Surprised I had to go down this far to find this. Clockmaker's 4 / watchmaker's 4 is an aesthetic or balance thing more than a historical vestige. Source: own an Omega De Ville Hour Vision
Perfect use case for Storj. I hope they take you up on that.
I'd like to strongly second timeboxing here. This is how all really busy people do it in my experience.
