I say home server when I’m talking to normies.
When I’m talking to geeks I say forbidden router

Yeah, it does a good enough job of handling the metadata which is why I mentioned it. To find books you need a private tracker.

No, it’s a hot mess. I only get 6 books a month and she is one and done so it’s manageable to do it manually

Having to run two instances to support audio and text books was the deal breaker for me.

Now I use audiobookshelf, and it’s easy enough to find everything I need on mam without an extra search layer.

It’s a lot faster to do it with a car

Is zfs required for security footage?

It’s worse than that- they’ve been rewarded for their actions

Yeah I’ve only seen lifted pads when I’m desoldering a huge component, or on the absolute cheapest board. I find that the white boards and orange boards always suck

I’ve never seen a premium brand charger that wasn’t absolutely stuffed with components on one side. They’re always trying to shrink them, and all that real estate on the board is wasted.

It’s not 5x capable, is my point.

About 10 of those VMs are running a single docker image. It runs great but I know better now.

3 or 4 desktop images to mess around with

My 7700x is 5 times that wattage. Granted, it gas 128gb, a380, 4 hdd, 2 SSD, 40gb nic, tpu, and 25 VMs running on it.

The lesson here is that I’ve way over-spec’d my machine.

$650 for the box leaves you $350 for drives and a 10Gb NIC. I’ve been using serverpartdeals refub drives with good results. They’re ~$10/tb.

I think the N100 type CPUs are limited on PCIe lanes. You end up with less nvme, less sata, and usually no slots.

You can find x570 am4 boards for less than $100 now. Two nvme, 8 sata, 2 big slots and 2 small.

But all of that flexibility and expandability is going to cost you in power. My 7700x w/A380, 3 hdd is 125 watts 24/7. $10 a month on my power bill. I think those n100 mini PCs only have a 35w brick and idle at less than 15w.

I’ve got 4 Omada APs and a virtual controller. There was a bug I experienced where a Google home mini could initiate a broadcast storm. TP-Link got me in touch with engineers very quickly and they fixed the bug in less than a week.

Do the devices have dual 10g ports each? You can build a triangle out of them.

Why is the “Don’t ask again for this network” checkbox on the “This network has no internet access. Stay connected?” dialog ignored for any and all wifi networks?

Who said Iowa is full of prudes?

It might be time to virtualize.
