  • I’m no expert on american politics, but from what I understand they would need to impeach him or him stepping down due to mounting resistance from the public. Impeachment needs a majority vote (2/3 I think) which won’t happen unless the democrats have enough votes.
    Last time they did not.

    The last seems unlikely, but I do believe most republican reps will change their tune if their constituents threaten their job security.
    My reasoning being that they are in it for themselves first and foremost.

    What confuses us (read: me) in Europe is how much shit they all get away with before voters change their mind. Hopefully more and more americans get fed up with the administration as prices rise and allies choose to look elsewhere for trade and weaponry.




  • Does this apply if you use extraction?

    I’ve had induction for many years, but I really want a combo with both. Making wok on induction is crap as the sides don’t get hot at all. I also have a hot spot in the center of all frying pans which is annoying when frying bigger things or several things at once.

    My dream is a Gaggenau or Bora top with one side induction and one side gas. I already have the mid extractor with outside piping, so no recirculation.
    I just cannot justify the $10k price tag and nobody else makes it with a fan in the middle.







  • I’d probably go for a small N100 mini-PC.
    Should be plenty powerful for what you need, very low wattage and relatively trivial to get GPU pass through in Proxmox. Alternatively one of the more powerful versions.

    This depends on how many cameras, resolution and frequency of course, but you should be able to see if others with similar setups have it running smoothly. You’d be limited on storage, but can set up NFS to your NAS or existing server.


  • I plan to use Surveillance Station in my Synology NAS.
    Two PoE cameras on their own physical network. Everything is laying in the closet still as life just gets in the way, but hopefully it will be done this winter or spring.

    I also have a Eufy 2k Doorbell camera with a hub for local storage.

    None of it is for actual protection though, as burglaries are rare here. It’s only because I love tech and to capture interesting moments. I also plan on making time lapses because they are cool.




  • I agree.

    It’s easy to forget how much time and dedication running a custom setup can cost, and that quickly drains whatever wife-acceptance-factor you had left.

    Think of paying for a pre-built NAS less as just overpriced HW, but more as great software features that work out of the box and a dev team improving functionality for you every day.
    It can host a plethora of containers with ease on the side anyways, and if you need something specific that requires more juice: build that on the side and tinker with it.

    N100 mini-PC for instance can host anything but heavy game servers for <15W.



  • Yeah I’m not a fan. Used to install them, but we had so many issues.

    In some houses, if they turned on a heavy load like a washing machine or dish washer, the internet capitulated conpletely.

    I always recommend a better router over HomePlug.

    Modems/routers from ISP’s are often cheap crap anyways, so just invest in a decent Asus/Netgear/TP-Link and it should be a lot better. Stay away from overpriced gaming versions. A 3 antenna router for 100€ will run probably circles around what OP has and be a lot more configurable.

    If money is not issue and the house is big; consider a semi decent mesh. I am super happy with the XT8 from Asus.


  • I agree with this, but would like to add for OP that diversifying is not always a bad idea.

    I have a NAS that is mainly running as just a NAS with a few containers to help me download and categorize stuff. It has a AMD CPU, so no HW transcoding, so I added a N100 to host Jellyfin on the side. That little NUC can also run HA, Heimdall, PiHole, Tailscale or any lightweight container with ease. I do it with Proxmox LXC’s.

    If I wanted to host game servers, I would probably build a server for that on its own anyways, just because it would be more power hungry and need modularity for future upgrades/changes.

    I guess the point is that there is no «one server does it all» for me. I prefer to have servers more suitable for their tasks than having one beast doing everything alone. Makes it suck less when stuff breaks too.

    Otherwise I think the comment above is on point.
