Thanks, I panicked logged in and could not find the root cause of the bill.

Thanks AWS, no caffeine needed this morning!


Where is this wonderful community, I would love to have neighbors like your described and where I can work in tech but still have 10 acre garden.


We're not neighbors unfortunately because we're spread out all over Southern California. By "enclave" I mean the area between West Hollywood and Arcadia, where many Eastern Europeans immigrated during the post-Soviet brain drain, not a dense conglomerate like San Gabriel.

BTW you do NOT want ten acres. That is a back breaking amount of work and even with modern technology you'll struggle to cope (it's not enough to afford most heavy equipment, but too much to do manually). You want an acre or two where you have enough space to plant trees. It takes a few years from nursery to fruiting, but they are far lower maintenance.


You don't really need 10 acres. My grandparents made do with 1/4 of an acre and would have yields of 350-500 lbs of potatoes per season. That's so much that they would give it away. I have fruit trees that require almost no effort to maintain once established. My neighbors give me oranges that fall to the ground and rot otherwise. It's not all or nothing. You can have a basil plant in an apartment.


Lots of places have community gardens. Hell, I go to one in the middle of NYC, a rooftop garden run by a friend. We even grow our own wheat for bread making.


Post the salary, don't make me spend 6+ hours before I find out you are offering less than what I already make.

TBH I think I perfectly fit your profile but I am not in the market. And the idea of a 4 hour take home assignment is not helping.

Best of luck OP!


Another very happy freenas user, been running freenas (now truenas) for 8 years. Other than hard drive upgrade and one hard drive failure it has been pretty smooth. My overhead in last year has been maybe 5 hours of upkeep.


FreeNas user for many years here, very happy in multiple environments- small home/office stuff and larger "production" environments.
