    Keep using the NAS as long as it keeps being useful. Just for moving some services off onto something else, it sounds like you could just get a low power minipc of some sort and run your services there. An N100 or AMD APU would work just fine for Plex (transcoding on Intel may be a bit better).

    If you’d rather go the extra mile and build a larger machine with a disk array, you don’t need anything super wild for the CPU or memory based on the services you’ve listed.


  • You may be in the younger side, or just not remember, but this happens almost every 20 years like clockwork.

    In the 80’s it was the PC and computers at large.

    In the 00’s it was robotic automation that was going to be the end of manual labor.

    Now it’s this.

    The sooner people realize that all of things are just about the small number of wealthy people who control resources making more money at the expense of the majority of all other humans, maybe something will get done. It’s been tried before in various movements with little to show for it, but maybe I’m just cynical.

    There will need to be a major shift in how economic flow works in order to support an existing or expanding population regardless.


  • I think you’re missing the bigger picture here. Late-stage Capitalism. The inherent problems are only being made worse by the assclown GOP who are working for the monopolistic interests and allow/enable it to be as bad as it possibley can be.

    We have the highest number of monopolistic entities to ever have existed at the same time right now, and with ZERO pushback from the government until this past week.

    Lina Khan at the FTC has been working on actions to force these companies to break themselves up, but that work will be undone by the incoming group of idiots who are only out to help their buddies at the top of these companies.

    None of this will end well, but as long as they get theirs, they do not care what you have. They’ll round you up and put your homeless ass into a camp, apparently. At least that’s what they’ve threatened.
