Help with External Portable Hard Drive for Linux/Windows

I plan on using a WD 4TB Portable External HD. This would just hold files such as movies, documents, etc.

1. Should I use a particular file system? I plan on using NTFS for compatibility between Linux/Windows. What allocation unit size, etc?
2. Does it matter how I format it? Could I just right click it in Windows and use those options? Or should I use Gparted? What's the difference?

A personal story of courage, risk and Linux

Some time during 2017, working for a company (I don't want to mention the name), the company I was working for had a rule: not to contribute to open source.

As many people in my circle know me, I don't usually accept such rules.

During my day-to-day work I hit a Linux kernel bug (that affected my work machine), and I used that as a opportunity to fix the bug and contribute back.

I knew I was in front of a unique and risky situation, I also knew I would not stay at this company for a long time, so I took the risk and helped fix the bug.

I did this in my lunch breaks and after work hours (debugging and testing patches), until the bug was found and fixed, a couple of months later I was fired and the experience was one that gave me PTSD, but that one bug I helped fix still brings me joy and satisfaction that I will never forget.

Happy birthday Linux and thank you for allowing me to be part of your history!

I want to use Slackware for work, I want a distraction free operating system that allows me to study programming with peace and without distraction.
Is it worth it?
Will I be able to install virtualbox on Slackware?
Is it a good Linux-distro for programming?
Thank you for your time!

Improper tool selction

Hello everyone!

I am a newbie in the field of development...well actually I am a PM and recently I decided to explore the question of when the wrong tool is selected for the project. Like Redis instead of SQL DB. The main thing is to understand that I am interested in tools for organizing work, and not programming tools - SharedPreferences or ngrok.

I believe it might help me improve my in-field understanding and the overall performance of my team.

So, please if anyone has relevant experience you are welcome to share it.

I would much appreciate any help and piece of experience.
