I highly doubt regular users will exchange Discord for Matrix. Don’t get me wrong, Matrix is great and all, has some great features, but given its open decentralized way it is and probably always will be mostly for tech savvy people. Now given how half of the Discord (the part I know) is memes and gifs spam, it’s not really easily reproducible with Matrix. At least last time I checked Element still didn’t have gif picker…
I absolutely fell in love with Wenceslas. It’s a masterpiece,especially with that video they made…
Intel finds cause of overheating CPUs… it’s crappy design!
I used to use syncthing few years back. I don’t remember much about it and I can’t even remember why I ditched it. It probably wasn’t any disasterous situation - I’d remember that, but there still had to be reason I did it.
What I remember I specifically used one way sync of photos. I don’t do picture editing at all and I tend to sort pictures on drive differently than one huge pile on phone, so this was what allowed me to do my shit easily.
Different people, different tastes.
Honestly I’ve never even heard of brand called Drobo.
Yeah, once you wrote this I saw a video where it’s explained Asustor is basically “unlocked” just like regular PC, unlike Synology and Qnap who are hard-set on their offerings. This is quite a big plus IMO. Some people criticize Asustor that it relies on third party solutions like Virtualbox. Not really concern to me as I’d definitely not run a whole virtualized system. And for Docker it has Portainer if I looked right? Isn’t this considered a go-to solution with self built systems running docker? How could this be bad?
Although I have to add that from what I saw both Syno and Qnap have their own systems more polished as a whole than ADM is.
Ok, thanks for reply. I’ll keep it in mind. I’m in EU, so I’ll check the M.2 situation here.
But that is terrible to use. I can’t imagine my kids or wife to use this with TV…
Not mentioning taking 100 screenshots each second with what - 25 frames per second? - is kinda overkill…
So how do you all guys watch content on these “dumb TVs”?
If you connect e.g. android box, how is it any different than connecting the TV itself? Do you think producers of android boxes aren’t such pricks? This bugs my mind.
As I wrote above. It’s not about speed, it’s about price and mostly availability. When I look at 2,5" at my country’s biggest retailer, there’s not really much to chose from and the number of available offerings are more or less shrinking. That’s not really the case with M.2 which seems to be “new shit” everyone wants so there’s plenty of options. And even if I stayed with “trusty WD Red” it’d still cost less to buy M.2…
Another benefit (for me) is its form factor. I don’t have a lot of space. Classic 2-bay NAS size is “perfect” for me, apart from its bay limitation. That’s what’s so tempting on Asustor. Either Nimbustor with 4xM.2 or even Flashstor with just 6xM.2 are quite a small devices (compared to what regular 6-bay would be) which is a big plus for me.
I meant I probably should not buy 2-bay NAS with just USB2, if that still exists. There’d be not much to expand to once I put those two starting drives in. So preferably more bays/slots to put another drive there once the need arises. Or use expansion units like all of these offer (Synology is eSATA I believe, others have USB).
Thank you for suggestion. I stumbled upon this brand last week, it looks promising. Sadly they don’t have presence in my country. Sure there’s ebay, international sellers and possibly other ways, but I don’t want to buy such a thing with non-local warranty.
Thanks for the reply. For now, I only intend to stream music if anything at all.
And as for the services, the main gripe now is adblock, honestly. There’s also cheap N100 mini pc burried in my drawer that I intended to run Proxmox on and play with it. But that’s reserved for “when I have time” winter evenings or so.
I don’t need it. But since I can’t use spinning drives due to noise reasons, there are only SATA SSD and M.2 SSD options. And while SATA speed is definitely enough for me, M.2 drives are actually cheaper for whatever reason. That way I could even go with things like Flashstor that only has M.2 slots.
That’s what’s so dumb with it! As I said, in EU you see the final price, including tax. So “healthier option” with lower tax would instantly be seen as cheaper than “unhealty” one with heftier tax. This way it could actually work.
Yeah, I was talking about local stores mainly. Online it’s understandable as every state has its own view on taxes, same as each state in EU (we’re not federation though).
As a regular European I never even understood why US shops list prices without tax. It feels just dumb. When I go to store here the store is required to show final price on tag - meaning including tax and recycling/author fee if there’s one. Seems much more user friendly.
Well, it is impossible to install W11 Pro without MS account for normal person. Sure tech people can do it after couple seconds of web search, but your average PC user? Nope. No way.
