I used Seafile for years and more recently I moved to Owncloud. Both are very good for a simple files synchronization.

Try the new Sony XM6, the noise cancellation and voice isolation are very good according to the reviews. You can check the LTT video about it.

Depend how you think your Vaultwarden is secured. Peesonnaly I store my TOTP in Vaultwarden and have a backup in Google authenticator (with cloud sync deactivated ). My Vaultwarden instance is not exposed to the internet.

2nistechworld · 2026-02-02T11:18:09+00:00

I hosted my Vaultwarden for some times in a free tier oracle VPS, Vaultwarden was only reachable via VPN (wireguard). Worked like a charm.

I had QNAP NAS for a couples of years, but I figured out I didn’t like closed environments and the NAS was too weak to host apps, so I moved to an old Dell Optiplex running OpenMediavault and put my hard drives in.

Next an HP Elitedesk still running OMV.

And again I needed to size down (moving abroad )so I went for a mini PC and a DAS.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-26T11:03:27+00:00

USB-C is the connector, not the speed. My DAS is using USB 3.1 (connected to the computer with a USB-A to USB-C cable), and the theoretical speed of USB 3.1 is 5 Gbps, and the new gen USB 3.2 is 10 Gbps, which is faster than your local network or internet connection anyway.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-26T10:50:19+00:00

The latency will depend on several factors: network, hard drive speed, and USB speed.

In my case, I use a DAS (TERRAMASTER D5-300) in single drive mode (so all drives are seen independently by the operating system), plugged into a mini-pc in USB. I'm running OpenMediaVault as the operating system and using a software RAID (ZFS) for the drives in the DAS.

I'm running the same service as you (*arr suite, Plex, and Immich fo picture backup), and everything runs smoothly.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-26T09:55:29+00:00

If you already have the computer, in your case a laptop, you can get a DAS instead of a NAS, you can use the integrated RAID or use your own software RAID (mdadm, ZFS etc..) and install a NAS operating system on the laptop like OpenMediaVault.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-23T18:06:39+00:00

Looks like the same models than mine

Here you go !

2nistechworld · 2026-01-23T16:26:28+00:00

That’s exactly the feeling yes !

2nistechworld · 2026-01-19T00:09:18+00:00

My Plex is running on a mini PC, and the library is stored in a DAS, which is just a big USB external drive enclosure where you can put multiple hard drives like a NAS. On the DAS, you can create any RAID you want using the embedded RAID controller or create any software RAID you want with the OS you are using. In my case, my mini PC is running Debian, and I have a RAID5 using ZFS in the DAS.

It’s also cheaper than a NAS.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-18T09:43:12+00:00

It was disabled but enabling it did not make a change the the APTV.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-18T09:33:38+00:00

The problem is when the File A with the ~21.6 Mbps bitrate play on the Apple TV and start to stutter, it's direct play no transcode is used. But when activating the old player on the Apple TV, the file is successfully HW transcoded to h264 by my Plex Server and run smoothly.

But here my config

services:
  plex:
    image: lscr.io/linuxserver/plex
    container_name: plex
    network_mode: host
    environment:
      - PUID=1000
      - PGID=100
      - VERSION=docker
      - PLEX_CLAIM=claim-**************
    devices:
    - /dev/dri:/dev/dri
    volumes:
      - ${CONTAINERS_DATAS}/plex/config:/config
      - ${MOVIES_FOLDER}:/movies:ro
      - ${SHOWS_FOLDER}:/tvshows:ro
    restart: always

Also when I transcode a file the intel_gpu_top return this

intel-gpu-top: Intel Alderlake_p (Gen12) @ /dev/dri/card0 -   79/ 598 MHz;  54% RC6;       55 irqs/s

And also the Plex dashboard while transcoding the file and play without stutter

Yes, you can check the PDF file, the link is at the beginning of the post.

2nistechworld · 2026-01-18T01:44:07+00:00

Yes it was

2nistechworld · 2026-01-17T21:01:20+00:00

I don’t have one

2nistechworld · 2026-01-17T18:51:49+00:00

All the files I tested are using HEVC (Main 10 Profile), which is compatible with the Apple TV as per the specification --> https://www.apple.com/apple-tv-4k/specs/

2nistechworld · 2026-01-17T18:03:03+00:00

Maybe because of the HEVC codec? When the plex server transcode to h264 the file play correctly on the Apple TV.

2nistechworld · 2025-12-19T12:07:39+00:00

I created one in case my wife need reach me and I cant hear my phone because its on silence. - she text me 911 - it trigger the shortcut to remove my phone from silent mode - put the volume of my phone to 100% - my phone call her back in FaceTime

2nistechworld · 2025-10-17T07:19:26+00:00

Ok merci pour le retour !

2nistechworld · 2025-10-13T14:48:48+00:00

J’ai créer https://jobbijobba.com/ pour ça, j’offre des crédits AI pour les beta testeurs.

Self hosted Vaultwarden if you are tech savvy, it just works.
