Still have my CD copy, but wonder if I can download the patches still… Maybe time to dust it off, just to find it has suffered rot… 😭

I got them on Amazon, the only place I could find them as well. However, I didn’t search as hard as you I think.

I picked Toshiba drives personally. However, I know of a bunch of WD reds running for years with no issues.

I think since the nas cases aren’t insolated for sound, your going to hear them moving that head around…

Have you considered an ssd populated nas? It does cost more however :(

Yes, I have run wires to a few rooms, but not everywhere and it can be difficult to convince myself to continue down this path. However, it is the more affordable option.

You mean run wires?

While not really for my hosting, I want to upgrade the Wi-Fi speeds in my home, currently running an eero setup that provides good coverage, but the speed seems poor when transferring large files around the home.

Not sure what to get, but this is my goal.

Encoding to AV1 is good to cooking CPUs.

Street fighter 2 turbo on SNES is my jam.

I loved playing simcopter, but for my racing needs midtown madness was plenty of fun.

You just need your mom to date someone that works at a secret government base, “borrow” their badge, swap the uranium with dish soap, and good to go.

Sweet. Need to see about running this as an app on my phone for the next port :)

I miss the radio stations in SimCopter.

This looks like a way better interface over Synology photos which is fine, but missing the search and map feature. You need to see if they are hiring 😂

Yeah, you can re-encode on your PC to a compatible codec and that should solve your issues

Why do you need to transcode video?

I would vote for running jellyfish off the NAS with powerful hardware Intel 8th Gen and up you should be fine. I personally don’t transcode video on my server only audio.

If I’m not sure about a video format working, I’ll manually re-encode the video with handbrake to h265 or av1. I also have used handbrake to create lower resolution copies of the same movies to reduce bandwidth needs when roaming on LTE.

Loaded the docker for fun on my NAS. I don’t need it, but other users in my home may appreciate this.

I think you can use Synology photos as the backup for the images and this as your front end … But not sure haven’t done it.

Surely you can’t be serious!

I went with bodhi.
