Damn. Ethernet is indeed your bottleneck there. I love your rack but I’d go more for a higher storage configuration.
With B2 offsite backup.

Shopping aliexpress most are 2.5 drives. I get that they’re lower power but 3.5 drives offer much more storage…
I’m most impressed by the printed rackmount SFF mounts. Great idea.
5·2 days agoThis specifically depends on what you want to run.
I’d say grab any unused PC in your home or off the street and it’ll work. Raspberry Pi are good for low wattage so it’s not expensive to run 24/7/365.
The electricity savings would pay for itself over time vs a 10 year old random desktop.
Why not use the old one with firefox ESR?
Yeah with that win10 EOL there’s loads of refurbs out there for cheap.
This is why I’m using a refurbished mini PC as my home server. Lower wattage for constant uptime at home. Also very quiet.
Octoprint if you own a 3d printer

You get a free save slot to save a quit so you can save anytime, but not save scum freely.
If you want simplicity I recommend skipping all self hosted solutions. You can set mihon to download X chapters ahead for offline reading and delete chapters as you read. On a kindle I’d recommend save as archive and/or cut tall images (webtoons).
Ebooks take no space.
Stick to calibre on your computer and transfer via netshare using a file browser (android: solid explorer) to copy stuff over. That’s what I do.
Mihon is the successor to takiyomi. It’s a manga website scrapper. But it also supports some self hosted solutions for reading across devices.
Make sure to add this special repo: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/keiyoushi/extensions/repo/index.min.json

It really sounds like you’re trying to setup a centralized solution for media consumption and I might be confusing you with my recommendations.
I read on only one device so this works for me. Mihon supports self hosted solutions. ReadEra is just a nice reading client. I manage it with a file explorer and netshare (Solid explorer)
I second this setup.
I have 3 ONN sticks and they do the job. Great for the price. Just sideload Kodi, new launcher, remap buttons.
I even paid for button mapper. Totally worth it.

Oh man I’m dying!!
Want some weed and smooches?
Mature Content Description
The developers describe the content like this:
*This game contains themes that some players may find sensitive. Frequent references to character’s own mortality familial death, thematic references to non-specific religions and doubts.
One character offers the player “drugs”, including a bottle labeled *XXX*, a needle, and a marijuana leaf are displayed. Accepting the choice damages the player whilst admonishing them, with the only way to defeat the character being to decline the drugs.
Some mild horror elements.
Mild cartoon violence, including depictions of optionally kicking a character, patrons of a bar brawling,
Minimal cursing (“heck”, “damn”), with one character’s fight sequence involving farting and burping.
No sexually explicit content beyond “smooching”, with a sequence involving a portion of the screen displaying a pair of lips in kissing motion. One character mentioned “goosing” his wife “on the bum”.*
I enjoyed both Styx 1 and 2. Solid games if you like fantasy and stealth.
26·3 months agoWait… Could you put bigscreen on the desktop mode, configure it with all the fixings, plug in a dock to TV and get a USB/bluetooth remote?
… Shit that’s better than a mini ATX HTPC at $600 dollar for dollar since you can run away with it
Guilty. I have half a bookcase of legacy PC games
In sandbox games you can use signs to make a todo list.
Valheim: signs posted next to bed (spawn)
- Get iron
- Get fine wood

I have a peer that manages his father’s IT needs.
He setup loads of server stuff there with an IPSEC tunnel to home so he does cross backup back between the sites. He’ll setup something like a game server at the office on a VM mapped to an obscure port then a registered domain so the family can game together. Fun stuff.
He doesn’t charge his dad for IT needs. They just expense all the server stuff to the business along with a secure location (building has proper physical security) with managed AC for his heavier 24/7 server needs. He can also order decent gear for the rack.
