To be fair, as both an iOS and Android user, the way android moves icons around drives me crazy , I much prefer the iOS “shift everything down” approach

I graduated 2006 and my college has WiFi all over so early-2000s?

I’m not an expert, but one drawback is the potential for one partition to become full when the others are empty… However, it looks like you have several different file systems, so a leaner approach might not be doable. May I also recommend something like proxmox to virtualize different OSes, although I’m not sure that would meet your needs.

This is hilariously accurate… although sometimes I AM reviewer 2 😂😂😂

I’m not sure why, but it seems like TrueNAS in a VM is not recommended (I saw a thread on their forum)… I also wanted the ability to add more drives later on, so I’ve gone with UnRAID and even though it’s only been a few weeks, it seems pretty functional and I’m glad I paid the licensing fee. I am trying to do Proxmox and OPNsense on one of those fanless N305 boxes and am getting very confused!

Hey of course, sorry for the delay, work has been crazy! I put this together from eBay and Newegg, I’ve installed UnRAID and am trying to get everything setup, moving Dockers from the tiny Lenovo to this, and replacing my Synology DS920+ eventually. The UnRAID forums are extremely helpful!

Idk if this will help, but there are plenty of SFF systems on eBay, but I’d just be careful about what you want… I thought those looked good and bought a Lenovo but then wanted 10Gb Ethernet for a NAS and now I’m putting together a 2U rack server! Not to say you’ll do the 180 I did, but just keep future expansion in mind…

Hear hear, I also agree even as a die-hard sci-fi fan! I never understood why it was so popular…

You’re absolutely right, I guess I’m more just frustrated for that very reason: that nothing changed and it has happened again… sigh…

I think it’s a fair opinion, but a lot of “cheap” IoT devices only support 2.4GHz, so I do have both networks setup in my house for that reason…
