for gpu if I ever got one it'd be an egpu dock + oculink to a minipc

man I love my minipcs. low idle power usage, highly efficient, pre-rampocolypse cheap, low space footprint. all the enterprise stuff uses so much power it's overkill a lot of time for homelabs.

yeah it's not modular like you can't replace cpu/mobo/case but the value proposition for awhile was so good you could just get a new one

I wonder how the performance to power curve compares between the Core 304 and the A18 Pro

I'm glad OP found a root solution, but we shouldn't be encouraging and supporting companies that don't allow a bootloader unlock.

In the same price range, a Lenovo Idea Pad / Xiaoxin Pad is both bootloader unlockable and Lenovo/Motorola adhere to providing kernel sources.

I had this issue too, try grounding the charging cable so the static discharge has somewhere to flow

Cloud vs. Edge: Why choose a local NAS over iCloud, OneDrive, etc.? Cost, privacy, performance?

Cost, privacy, sometimes performance, mostly because I can run it the way I want it to, so control

Use Case: What tasks would your NAS handle? Jellyfin, Frigate, backups, AI/ML?

My current NAS does all of it, jellyfin, home assistant, backups, LLMs, all the docker apps, etc.

Performance: How key is CPU power, power efficiency, or upgradability (e.g., PCIe slots)? Your LAN speed (1, 2.5, 10, 25 Gbps)?

I have multiple minipcs, 7840HS, N150, etc. NAS is a 5825U. Don't care about pcie slots, can always get an egpu dock if I want later and the 780M is "good enough" for LLMs especially since vram is no longer the limiter with GTT (can do ~112GB VRAM on a 7840/8845HS w/ 128GB RAM if one wants to, but t/s is slow)

LAN speed is just gigabit. If I wanted to upgrade I could get a 2.5gbe managed switch but I just don't currently see the need to. Keeping it simple where I can.

Storage: Preferred drive bay count (2, 6, 8+)? NVMe cache for reads/writes? Ideal capacity (10 TB, 50 TB+)?

4-6

no nvme cache needed, but nvme storage pool used for current NAS.

capacity doesn't matter, can buy/shuck/get used enterprise drives myself.

OS: TrueNAS, Unraid, OpenMediaVault, Linux, or no preference? TrueNAS because ZFS. Or give me a ceph option.

Design: Appearance matter? Displayed or hidden? I don't like trashcan look, synology form factor is nice/aesthetic.

Budget: Ideal price (excluding drives)?

$300-500

Pain Points: What frustrates you about NAS or cloud solutions? Killer feature to switch?

NAS: coil whine, poor QC, no PCIe slot (or it costs way too much)

cloud: subscription hell

switch: already use self-hosted minipcs/NAS.

Your thoughts will build a better NAS. Would you back this on Kickstarter? Thanks!

No, for multiple reasons:

unless you have something unique to bring to the table that aoostar/ugreen/etc. have not brought to the table yet, and

don't do a kickstarter, it has historically been full of scams (such as storaxa if you look them up). Put it on a platform that guarantees a product for money such as a shopify storefront, etc.

take a look at the aoostar wtr pro/wtr max

Do any of these bookmarking apps support adding urls in bulk from currently open windows/tabs?

I often have windows of hundreds of tabs open that I'd like to archive and close but raindrop has been the only one that has been able to get rid of my clutter.

The context for this link is that people have been finding ways around Play Integrity, which uses a keybox/hardware backed security key to do things like use banking apps, use the McDonald's app, Google Wallet, etc. on custom roms.

Every time a key gets revoked, a new key is found by someone else to share around the community so people can continue to use daily services while retaining control and choice over the OS on their phone hardware.

It seems that Google does not listen to its users about Android on anything except their own forums/bug trackers, so I would encourage any of you that use unlocked bootloaders or custom roms (with or without locked bootloaders) alongside with Play Integrity to provide your perspective on this thread.

From my perspective, Google should not restrict the choice of OS on its users by hindering its use through Play Integrity. You can't even book a hotel at Marriott if it does not pass Strong integrity. Furthermore, abandoning older devices after 3 years is fine, but they should not then restrict features of the device if I decide to use an up to date OS and security patch via custom ROM which is more secure than old android OS versions. In effect, what this does is push users to buy new hardware that they don't need through planned obsolescence. Instead of providing the best experience possible, they are trying to funnel money to new hardware purchases and there is a misaligned incentive going on. Bootloader unlocking should not have anything to do with Play Integrity, just like how on your computers you have root without your banking services refusing to serve you.

Do you think it's fair for a company to tell you what OS you can or cannot use when they stop supporting it with updates after 3 years (for older devices)? What about linking bootloader unlock status with Play Integrity by default when no system modifications have been made?

I have posted my view in the bugtracker linked and I encourage the rest of y'all to as well.

Until this comes to fruition and banks actually implement it with software (like Actual Budget) supporting it, I will continue using SimpleFIN Bridge. Hopefully this becomes ubiquitous like GoCardless in the EU.

I'm using Zen browser

So many negative comments in this thread when it's pretty fuckin great. Yeah, Jellyfin is rough around the edges and needs some handholding but that's what containers are for. Updates don't work? roll it back. No biggie.

Without Jellyfin I'd probably still be using a SMB share with a VPN, not having access to resumable playback/tracking, easily sharing with other people, convenience of using web/apps, etc.

One thing I want Jellyfin to have is the ability to link a specific file with a specific timestamp, similar to how on youtube you can do domain.tld/videoID?&t=timestamp
