If it’s only 2 TB I’d go ssd.

And don’t get a super cheap one, but something from like Samsung or Sandisk or WD or sth.

You can go PCIe to m.2 pcie nvme.

You can use syncthing to get files from all of your devices to your central server and then use something like FreeFileSync to backup the entire folder structure to another drive.

Looks sick

Also a nice idea, thanks.

Nice, I just did that and that’s exactly what I was looking for. Thanks : )

I think the only thing that changes are the drivers for their laptops and some software fixes for touchpad etc.

damn, that seems awfully complicated just to connect to your RSS reader hahah

Thanks. I mean I probably don’t have that threat level, but you are right - it also feels good to have isolation.

The downside was the cost of the 2nd machine (~400$) and running it (~5$/month) and the time involved.

But I tend toward thinking it is the right choice

I haven’t. I always liked to have the possibility to use GNOME on my machine. That wouldn’t work then if I were to have a Ubuntu VM, right?

And do you know if I would I get quicksync access to the i3 for transcoding ?

Thanks

OMG thank you so much : )

I’m trying to talk a lot of friends into using my. Jellyfin and even helped them set up tailscale and all that. But they keep going back to paying Netflix etc.

Also wanna know

Also thought about that a lot. The most important is that your people can access your data. My partner and bestie both have LUKS keys on all of my devices.

Maybe do a test run with them to see if they can actually access it.

Hahaha true for me too that they would struggle

Woooow looking slick
