  • Older geek here. I started with Plex and torrent. Added sonarr. Researched and switched to jellyfin. Learned about arr stack. Moved services to docker.

    It’s now super low maintenance. If I need to update a service, I just kill and recreate it. I have a second machine for media storage.

    I think I spent a weekend building the arrstack and I have a few days total working on the home made NAS.
















  • If the drives are good, maybe. If not, you are looking at buying 4 drives from their compatibility list.

    Do you already have a storage server? I’m running TrueNAS on a computer I retired a few years ago. I have 4 1TB drives in it and am about to install a used SAS card I got from eBay for $40 to add up to 6 more. It should give me 8tb of space.


  • This is what frustrates me about HP laptops. The biggest issues users see with them could be resolved with a hard reset to clear chip states, but you have to perform a hard reset by powering off, unplugging, and holding power for 30 seconds. A shut down or a restart doesn’t fully reset all chips and network/audio issues seem to persist.
