With modern filesystems, however, RAID-like implementations do have their purpose in ensuring data integrity, as is the case with btrfs and ZFS.

Side note: the linked URL redirects to a questionable image when navigated from HN. Interesting choice by the site owner.

That doesn't mean his point is not spot on.

I have more than one friend that has overengineered an industrial solution for basic computing needs. (and when things break, complexity goes exponential)

as to URL redirect: I don't see the image/redirect you refer to, even clicking on the link here on hacker news. Can you elaborate? I take the links I recommend seriously.

The URL will redirect to https://imgur.com/32R3qLv if navigated from HN, most likely caused by the Referer request header being present. Doesn't seem to happen all the time, but try it out in Private Browsing mode and it may redirect you there.
