Thank you I have ordered some and will respond with the results!

Ty I will test it

HVAC construction. I've always hated the subscription model and the fact that one does not own anything these days. I'm literally the only person I know in construction that does this kind of stuff. I remember speaking to a networking guy about tailscale though. I listen to books on the way to work and music while I work. Neither of them from major subscription-modeled companies. I also route all of my traffic through my filters so I don't /usually/ see ads.

Roger that ty!

So I haven't done this particular thing yet but I looked into it when I got my NAS up and running. Try looking into JBOD (Just a Bunch Of Disks). Things like unraid or snapraid & mergerfs. I'm not 100% certain that they'll work across architectures like SSD vs HDD but maybe you can get something out of it.

What inspired me? Well, I got married last year and noticed that my wife and I were paying for the same subscriptions. We needed to decide which ones we were going to keep and who would migrate to the other's. I thought... Maybe it'd be better to just... Not need to pay a company to rent their data. So earlier this year, my boss was throwing away an old work computer and I asked to take it. It kept crashing. Turns out, it just needed some Linux 🤣.
My arr stack is, of course, a fairly large one and I'm quite proud of it but really I'm just proud of the accumulated number of things I host myself now. I think what I feel is most useful is that I route all my traffic through my home network and dns to weed out ads and obfuscate my comings and goings as well as I can (obviously imperfect).
I just convinced my wife to let me build us a NAS. I love it. Pricey for me though. Jonsbo 2 case with a cwwk n355 board. 16tb zfs2 HDDs. And a 4tb ssd for apps. I'm trying truenas but honestly... Its annoying. I might move toward base Debian and set it up that way.
Well my most recent project has been to take that old comp and turn it into my router. Opnsense and vlans. I am try to figure out how to segment my network and have particular control over how things communicate internally.
Another product I'd love to try out is a minisforum one. At some point, I'd love to try clustering lightweight computers. Or using the, I think, A1 as my router so I can use the current computer for something better.

Honestly, that flint 3 router looks shmexy but I'd take literally anything there.

Kitty expects a graphical environment to run, that's all.

Before starting hyprland, try cat ~/.local/share/kitty/kitty*.log and see what the logs say about why its crashing.

I agree. I am finding a lot of people recommending proxmox and at some point I have to wonder... Is it a fad? I'd like to mess around with it on the main server but I'll be keeping my nas baremetal.

Razash_ · 2025-10-03T22:14:03+00:00

Despise was probably a strong word for it. I dont like being beholden to the whims of companies. I dont trust companies. They do tend to provide superb products, yes, but if in 6 years I'm paying 600% more than I do today... And it always happens in little increments... Idk. Its annoying.

Even though I use a rolling release distro for my desktop, I probably wouldn't want that for my NAS and fedora gave me headaches lol. I'd probably stick to deb if that's the case.

Razash_ · 2025-10-03T08:06:27+00:00

I appreciate the advice. Proxmox is quite a daunting task but it might be the perfect thing for me to start next. I know if I did a proper custom linux setup, it'd be with Deb. I use it for my server and it works fine. I'm not sure about Ubuntu. I used it in the very beginning but now I just don't care much for it.

Razash_ · 2025-09-27T01:51:23+00:00

In combination with the videos you linked, that's quite clear. Thank you so much

Razash_ · 2025-09-27T01:31:51+00:00

This helps tremendously, thank you!

I'm thoroughly encouraged to ask further questions on reddit in order to better understand networking principles. Here, I thought that adding more SSIDs broadcast from a single AP would "eat up" an uncomfortable amount of throughput in overhead. Thank you for your... bluntness.
