A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Curious what you've got installed on it. What do you use a lot but took awhile to find? What do you recommend?

I had a 24 bay SAS racked external system piped into a racked server I had for many years. Experimented with tons of filesystems (played with ZFS so much), had a gazillion hard drives spinning, and ran Plex. I learned a ton from the experience, and lost many drives over the years (average 2 a year. I was rough on them.)

Nowdays, an intel NUC with an external hard drive. Using jellyfin and *arrs for the obvious, then a small kubernetes cluster for learning.

Used a QNAP for a bit when I was in a motorhome full-time, but found it wasn't powerful enough for more than filesharing and went to the NUC instead.
