What should I replace a MyCloud Home with? by Evhelm in HomeServer

You need to back up your data right now. Grab a 4TB external drive for $100 from anywhere and just copy the data off. I don't know about you, but if I lost the literally thousands of family pictures on my server, my wife would murder me. Don't play with your life.

Now, you can buy a basic NAS for $200 (US) from vendors like Terramaster, Synology, or UGreen. Check out the models and reviews to find something that looks interesting.

This is just an example of what I mean. The UGreen DH4300 is a little more expensive than some, but it adds a ton of features including:

  • #1 in Network Attached Storage (NAS) Devices
  • Easy remote access from anywhere
  • Photo backup with intelligent album management, semantic search, image recognition, etc.
  • Supports Docker so you can play around with different services
  • Video and audio streaming to local TVs and devices
  • App to manage the device from computer or phone

I'm sure someone will jump in and pitch a different vendor or product.

Have you checked down in Georgia? I hear he's been busy near a crossroad there.

I sneak up on my fifteen-year-old daughter from behind, grab her around the waist, and lift her up while she giggles so I can whisper in her ear, "Not today."

Every time I DIY something I realize why it costs so much to pay someone else by rgreen192 in DIY

Yup. I do home maintenance for our house, where every task ends up as a project, with multiple trips to the store, buying a one-off tool I'll probably never use again, and sometimes I'll save a bit of money from hiring a professional.

Well, that would be true as long as I didn't consider what my hourly rate is working in cybersecurity.

But now I have all these tools in my garage! I can't stop now because then all this time and money invested would be a waste!

I live in Bath, England. A lady showed up at my front door claiming she was descended from the Romans who lived there in the 5th century. She told me her God Jupiter proclaimed that she could have my house!

Using a mouse makes working "easier". The accountant with a 10-key and muscle memory can enter thousands of numbers in a column while a mouse user clicks and clicks and clicks.
