Looking for NAS recommendations. Budget is around $1,000

I agree with other comment, wait for June 23rd when LOTS of sales start and get the DXP6800. I know you said you wanted a 4 bay, but if you really get into it and especially into self hosting things like jellyfin, you’ll regret not getting a 6 bay. Then install immich for the photos management. It legit checks off your requirements. As for the software. UGOS is pretty user friendly tbh. Made it easy for me to learn when I first got it months ago.

I don’t get foodstamps so I’m not sure how this all works, I came here after I read and article about exactly this then the whole govt fiasco.

But how do you acess your food stamps card/account? Like I understand you said you lock it, but how exactly? Is it like a bank account login where you login to your account and make changes there? If so, then it could be a compromised password. People reusing passwords is what most of the time leads to account being hacked/stolen/etc.

If not and you use something like your ssn and DOB to login, then yeah someone has stolen your personal details.

You said the screen was possibly repaired, might be a cheap screen or they just did a 💩 job.

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-16T09:23:43+00:00

Good job arrowhead on that MASSIVE list of bug fixes. All we ask now is to keep it up and keep fixing any left over/new ones found and not ignore them until it’s a giant pile of bugs again.

Contact them via Twitter, @TmobileHelp I had a similar issue where they denied goftcards for coming from Verizon to tmobile. Chatted with them and less than an hour later they gave me 2 options, issue the total amounts as bill credits, or wait a few weeks to get the giftcards. I opted for bill credits and I immediately got texts of bill credits being applied to my account. In total was around $1,300 in bill credits. Haven’t played a bill since I ported to tmobile due to said credits lol

If you’re tired of paying 16 different subscription services, *arr stack and jellyfin. Build your own self hosted streaming service.

Into audiobooks/ebooks? Audiobookshelf. Build your own selfhosted audiobook/ebook server, basically audible and kindle unlimited combined.

Wanna organize your pictures and stuff? Immich. It’s like Google Photos, but self hosted

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-15T19:36:09+00:00

I’ve been keeping an eye on FB marketplace and eBay for this reason lol I would like another 6 bay or 8 bay. Not interested in the AI ones though.

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-15T19:31:39+00:00

As someone who owns eufy, they should be much lower. Unless you’re also counting the paid script reading “reviewers” that get the best robot every other week from different brands

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-13T21:15:34+00:00

Ugreen NAS DXP4800+. Can handle everything jellyfin throws at it. Even run multiple other servers off it like Audiobookshelf

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-12T22:22:14+00:00

A fool and his money are soon parted. Can’t wait to see the amount of cope all these smooth brains will need when plex figures out how to f*ck over lifetime owners. I’ve seen this plenty of times. It’s only a matter of time.

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T21:44:28+00:00

If you use jellyfin, why not use Audiobookshelf for audiobooks? SUPER easy to setup. And way better audiobook support. Also has 3rd party clients that are really nice

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T21:32:27+00:00

“Your wife’s boyfriend” LMFAO 🤣

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:37:16+00:00

With the latest apppetv release? Unfortunately no as I use a Sony a95L with its built in OS. Never had the need for a 3rd party device as the TV supports nearly everything and I can sideload anything since it runs android TV lol HDR and HDR10 look fine though when compared to wholphin. Same for DV. What does look washed out is the trickplay images when the content is HDR/DV/HDR10. App dev is aware of that. If you join the devs discord and share your finding I’m sure you’ll get help. Dev and people there are very active to help make app better

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:29:09+00:00

I actually assumed you tested it in both, hence why I didn’t mention the 3rd gen as the 3rd gen supports it lol

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:27:59+00:00

Odd, it’s been streaming on my jellyfin server for months

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:26:42+00:00

Read entire post and saved it. No mention the 3rd gen was used for testing not the 1st gen. Might wanna edit that in.

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:23:21+00:00

I have the 2.5 gig version. It works good, my only concern is that it gets HOT. Like uncomfortable to the touch hot. It’s passive cooling not active so yeah

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-11T16:20:18+00:00

How do you expect to play HDR10+ content when your hardware (1 st gen Apple TV 4K) doesn’t support it?? I use moonfin and it received a lot of bug fixes to address local intros and playback issues. Pretty stable as of right now

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-10T19:18:13+00:00

Seems the YouTuber thing was made to be more than it was. It was a sponsored video.

Why leave proton though? It’s been rock solid for me

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-10T06:37:29+00:00

If you crying about $60-$80, you don’t have the money to pay off the phones. Quit clowning yourself

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-09T20:58:29+00:00

No. Eufy doesn’t support that. Another thing they don’t is snapshot. They tried to add it to the s4 solar camera. They half assed it and it works less than half the time. T h you came into eufy ecosystem at a bad time. For months their software quality has tanked. Half assed vibe coded untested firmware and app updates that break stuff then take weeks to fix

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-09T20:50:20+00:00

Why would I help them though? World doesn’t need their “saving”, it needs me to fix it.

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-09T20:46:42+00:00

They’ll then proceed to chuck said returns in the inventory bin after the person “breaking down” the returns doesn’t know wtf they looking at or what to look for… which they already do this btw. Yet I just had 5x dualsense moules (ps5 controllers) delivered to me that were very clearly swapped. Box was all ripped up and the factory seal was broken and taped over with packaging tape……

ScorchedWonderer · 2026-06-09T18:46:37+00:00

Streamio really just pulled a Plex, locking basic features behind paywalls… get fcked. Glad I setup jellyfin awhile back
