Another reason to avoid a Synology. I had a HP Microserver gen 8 that I ditched due to CPU constraints and ECC ram. Just got 32G of cheap DDR4.

My main beef with that MediaTek X2x platform is the hella dated hacked up kernel it was stuck with which meant the damn thing never got mainlined so my Planet Gemini has been nothing but a paperweight.

I dont want android, I want linux damnit.

Run your fun things in containers and you can't make a mess of the host.

I'd consolidate to let it pay for itself over the longer term in electricity savings.

My single NAS runs everything I could ever want, though I regret not finding a used 6700k, finding out teh 6600k didn't have HT.

Also, I run frigate on it inside a container and use a Google Coral Accellerator to people-detection from 4x2k camera streams. Its pretty swish, though it took some fiddling to get the kernel to be groovy with it and do container-device passthru from PCI-e.

In total, my single NAS runs the following in containers:

• Personal projects
• Home Assistant
• MQTT for Tasmota
• Game servers
• Deluge for yarr harr fiddly dee
• Frigate NVR

The whole shebang, NAS with permanently spinning rust, UPS, ISP Modem and Ubiquity Dream Machine run ~100W.

Edit: I've noticed ZFS is twitchier than most about disks failing. It fails disks about once or twice a year, which are getting cheaper every year. Most of the time the disk still works as far as SMART is concerned, but I'm not gonna question the ZFS gods.

Can you just put stock ubuntu on it? Is the CPU worth a damn?

If it can't do either of those, it is manufactured ewaste, imo.

Don't buy a synology. For less money you can make a better system. I use a cheap itx board, a used 6600k, Silverstone DS380 and 8x4TB disks of spinning rust and a 256G NVME as my current iteration of my NAS. its basically silent, and runs ubuntu + zfs + shit in containers. Its excellent.

I am however considering 10G ethernet cards for it and my desktop and just doing point-to-point. Not that 1G is too slow for my needs, but because it'd be fun.

I don't want to carry around more shit and it makes payment faster and less fucking about.

Also if I lose it I don't lose all my money.

...? Do you not just log in?

I live in the eurozone, and I don't even know what euro cash looks like.

That would be delightful

That I have any sort of meaningful future or purpose ahead of me.

You absolutely do. If I see my own countries flag on a car, I assume they're into football, beer and being a racist piece of shit towards the polish and the pakistani people who sell them the beer and the kebabs they subsist on.

A pidgeon-hole forms, and is immediately stuffed to the brim with gammon.

What the fuck are you talking about, Jesse.

Man with the meme after my own heart there.

This was funnier and truer when it was furries. The autism goes without saying.

In the same vein as "States rights to do what?", I want to ask: Free speech to say what?

I mean, this is why my NAS is just ubuntu and zfs and garden variety docker.

I live in a foreign country. The translation feature is worth it to me. Annoyed its behind a paywall.

She got bored of me, cheated, gaslit me and made me feel like I was treading on egg shells for 12 months and then we split up.

She'd have had permission if she had asked.
