A quick Google does not produce any results showing an increased device limit.

I’m curious, what are you doing to reach 127 device endpoints, especially on a thin client?

they are nothing more than Cloudflare complying with its legal obligations under the DMCA

Not really news, then, is it?

The official stream never works for me, so I guess they don’t want me watching sports at all. Guess I’ll just listen to the radio and not give them any ad impressions at all.

Does it need to use the remote? I have a Chromecast (the casting device, not the app running device) and I use the Jellyfin app on my phone and I cast to the Chromecast. Works fine for me.

I’ll just download a Frostwire one for free

Yup. Even on your LAN, between devices you’re almost certainly going to be limited by disk speed. The real use case is in the enterprise, where you’ve got dozens or hundreds of users, and their traffic adds up.

Yup, batteries need to be replaced every 3-5 years. Make sure you account for that cost when purchasing.

If necessary, yes. I do.

Don’t use your personal phone for work stuff either.

If you just want a NAS, TrueNAS core and zfs, probably.

If you want to run services, run docker on an OS on bare metal and either zfs or two mirrors, optionally joined with lvm. I don’t think I’d recommend putting all four disks in one array.

Personally I run a bunch of stuff, so I have docker on alma on proxmox.

Probably. I don’t know what Mint or others do under the hood, but I do know they’re definitely targeted at desktop use.

I use Alma because RHEL is designed for enterprise stability. Debian is also a good option.

Just don’t use Ubuntu. They do too much invisible fuckery with the system that hinders use on a server. For basic desktop use it’s fine, but never for a server.

Edit: but you should be doing most stuff in Docker anyway, so the actual OS isn’t going to matter too much. If you’re already comfortable with one base (Debian, RHEL) just use that one or a derivative.

Hmm, so why should I use this instead of TrueNAS?

Powered by and in partnership with TrueNAS.

Oh. It is TrueNAS. So why should I use LTT-branded TrueNAS?

That doesn’t sound half bad. Maybe I’ll try making it later, though usually I don’t buy chicken with the skin on.

I just have automatic updates turned on.

Yeah, there’s always the risk of a bad update wrecking everything, but I figure that it’s going to happen when I apply the update manually anyway.

Yes, it’s the contents I want.

Now I want to know what that is.

If that’s your only option, I would expose a single host for solely VPN, and connect to that for access to everything else.

Literally on the product page, first result when I googled the model number:

DS1821+ comes equipped with 8 bays and can scale up to 18 bays with 2 DX517 expansion units as your data needs grow.

Honest question: did you do any investigation on your own, or post here first?

No, but that doesn’t mean people don’t upload malware anyway.
