Factory refurbs. I have 3 nas boxes full of drives from there. No issues

I think you can generate static html reports from tautulli

100% this. Long long time portainer user. With multiple upgrade failures where it would not move my container setup forward i moved to dockge after it got remote system support. The difference in simplicity is night and day.

I love grav. Yes its a chore intially but ive move 30+ site from wp to it and all my clients love it

Joplin server also will use a file based storage instead of the db. And db then is only used for users

I use joplin as i share notes and collaborate with my wife. Obsidian etc dont do that. Id love to be on obsidian as i really like it but sharing notebooks is mandatory

Any ideas about linux/wine support?

Yup. Has an easy docker setup. Also if you have a kobo you can sync your shelfs wirelessly. Love it

I have 8 of these in 4tb. They are wonderful and ive not had a single issue

I think anything with an intel chip is golden. I have single port intel gigabit nics in all my boxes and zero issues

yep lazylib for books and mags. that feed calibre which cleans and converts to kepub, then that all is synched to nas for calibre-web

there are people that only use lazylib as it has odps server aswell

i use calibre on desktop to clean uip library like you. After any updates i sync it to a dir on my nas that calibre web uses. its a really good setup and passes the wife test

look at calibreweb for web front end. it is VERY good, It even syncs to my kobo wirelessly. love that app

I have a perfectly functional ds416 but its old too. I bought a newer model as my 416 mirrors data to it. Its a backup of my backup.

The main reason i did it is support for future updates including security patches. The 416 doesnt autoipdate anymore i have to dl a seperate file and update. Im concerned how much longer it will get security patches. When it goes end of life i can easily make the newer box my main nas. Ill probably do it next year regardless.

There are people working on the gui. But honestly once it clicks its easy street. I highly suggest the discord. A ton of people running it for a while and very helpful. Say hi to codeslave there. (Me)

Ytdl-sub is what you want. Does allmost all of that. Has sets up nfo and plex. Really great app. Takes a bit to config but the dev is ver responsive and is on discord all the time.

I was more interested in the blatent political attack that some conservatives hurt foss in education.

Thats a stretch. You have any ya know sources on that or just pulling it out of your ass.
