Performance mostly, encoding is better, reducing load on my NAS and using it specifically for storage. Immich performs better as well, it’s pretty resource hungry I found. I also am planning to set up Frigate for home security and that’s the main reason I wanted something with a bit more power.

I just recently discovered proxmox and am slowly moving my docker containers off my NAS. Picked up a used Intel NUC, i5-8259, 32gb ram, 512gb HDD. It’s been great so far, very happy with its ability paired with proxmox.

I downloaded and tested as well and noticed right away there is no sleep timer which I use every night. I actually quite like the audiobook shelf app. It’s served my wife and I quite well this past year.

Should’ve went for the full 2 decillion

I think it’s mostly to do with their advertising tactics and misleading people in what their service is actually doing.

They also had a data breach and did not handle it well.

Maybe there’s other stuff I don’t remember… I’ve never used them, I’ve been on Mullvad for some years now but considering proton next.

Typically they still have performance issues though? I haven’t played on consoles since Xbox 360, other than the odd Nintendo game. I spent thousands of dollars on 360 and PS3 games and hardware and have none of it now. But my entire PC library is still playable.

I use an android device and my NAS is a Synology ds923. Jellyfin wasn’t nearly as smooth an experience for me as Plex was. I’m willing to switch to FOSS but it doesn’t seem as good yet…

Do you have an offsite backup? Or do you only backup specifics? Like 10-20% of that?

I’ve been to Paris 3 times, I’m from BC in Canada. April, May and October I went. Had an amazing time every time, people, food, places. It’s one of my favorite cities.

Thanks for doing this!

Keep one in your car as well. I’ve carried one over 15 years under my seat and had to use it last summer when a motorcycle attempted to overtake and hit a turning car. It wasn’t fun but I’m glad I had it.

I do use docker, I set up a docker account as well with selected permissions.

I do have a separate backup in a separate building that syncs the most important stuff.

It is backed up to a another drive that’s in a separate building. At least the most important stuff syncs.

Thanks for the reply. I have used VLC forever and here and there for casting. Mostly it’s my parents using Plex that I’m trying to simplify for them. Not sure if jellyfin would help them lol

How’s the android app and casting to Chromecast? If you know… I struggle the most with casting and controlling casted material as well as scrubbing while casting.

What is it that you all are documenting? I’m just getting started and have so far just set up docker and several containers (Plex, the *arrs, qbittorrent, gluetun) and not sure if I should be writing something down?

Thanks a lot. I have looked around and haven’t found anything like this… Maybe my search words weren’t the right ones.

Is there a chassis you know of that has similar dimensions to the DS923? I know it’s a strange concern but size is an issue for me.

My wife and I are both 90s kids and none of this really resonated with us. This is a dumb meme and is hard to read.
