You seem on top of everything. No red flags when I look at what you are considering. Any will do great.
The Topnton i3-n305 Mini PC is a good choice. Intel NUC is another solid option, especially when used with a RAID enclosure for storage. Remember cooling is crucial for these devices, particularly if they'll be housed in a small space. The importance of a good cooling solution cannot be overemphasized.
As for the operating system, Ubuntu is user-friendly and well-supported. You can run your desired applications like Plex or Jellyfin for media serving, qBittorrent, Sonarr, Radarr for torrenting, Wireguard for VPN, AdGuard or PiHole for ad-blocking, and Home Assistant for home automation, all on Linux. For managing these services, consider using Docker. It can help keep your system organized and simplify the process of updating. If you’re currently using them in a nas, you’re probably doing so already. But take the opportunity to clean things up, and if you’re not doing so already, use docker compose.
Foe backups, rsync can be used for local backups and Rclone for backing up to the cloud.
Clonezilla. If you don’t know how to use it, it’s a good time To learn 👍
Go away spez.
Lemmy or die.
Sometimes, it's surprising how life unfolds. I remember back in my second year at boarding school, we were all set to return for another term, standing on the train station platform. Fooling around, we missed the train.
With no other options and perhaps a bit of youthful audacity, we took dads old ford and we ended up driving it all the way to school.
The car broke down, we almost got caught. Then crazily, we crashed into a famous tree on campus.
However, as wild as that was, missing that train might just have saved us.
We later found out that the Chamber of Secrets had been opened around the time we were meant to be on that train. A deadly monster, a Basilisk, was slithering around the castle, able to kill just by meeting your gaze.
Who’s to say we wouldn’t have bumped into it, had we made that train? With our track record of stumbling into trouble, it seems more than likely. It’s a chilling thought.

I still appreciate the love ✌️💛
Damn. I may need to buy a couple
Just a barrier many won’t cross.
And I though me saying I’m in musical theatre, may be open to similar presumptions haha.
My wife is the same.
So I have some space on my server rack, but not a lot of money lying around.
What I’m trying to achieve is a nas setup for my security camera system. It has 30 cameras, and 4 drives fill up in 3 months. 3X3TB drives.
Looking on eBay for a second hand rack mounted NaS is pretty expensive. Could I build one? From a jbod or something? I’ve got a nice big space in my rack doing nothing.
(I know I could buy bigger drives, but I kinda like the idea of experimenting with something g different) ✌️💛
More Reddit circlejerky. 🥩
In light of the admins comments I. The attached photo, I have made a subreddit, r/subsquatting, to bring attention to those who bypass Reddit's Rule 4: "Camping or sitting on a community is not encouraged." I invite you to join me in posting images of users sitting, squatting, or camping on subreddits.
Did you spot someone sharing a picture of themselves lounging on a chair in r/cozyplaces? Or setting up a camp in r/natureisfuckinglit? Seize these moments and share them here! We welcome all photographic evidence of Rule 4 transgressions.
(For those who find the image hard to read as I did: Thanks for bringing this up; it's an important conversation. Mods have a right to take a break from moderating, or decide that you don't want to be a mod anymore. But active communities are relied upon by thousands or even millions of users, and we have a duty to keep these spaces active. Subreddits belong to the community of users who come to them for support and conversation. Moderators are stewards of these spaces and in a position of trust. Redditors rely on these spaces for information, support, entertainment, and connection. We regularly enforce our subreddit and moderator-level rules. As you point out, this means that we have policies and processes in place that address inactive moderation (Rule 4), mods vandalizing communities (Rule 2), and subreddit squatters (also Rule 4). When rules like these are broken, we remove the mods in violation of the Moderator Code of Conduct!, and add new, active mods to the subreddits. We also step in to rearrange mod teams, so active mods are empowered to make decisions for their community. The Moderator Code of Conduct was launched in September 2022, and you'll notice via post and comment history that this account has been used extensively to source new mod teams. Leaving a community you deeply care for and have nurtured for years is a hard choice, but it is a choice some may need to make if they are no longer interested in moderating that community. If a moderator team unanimously decides to stop moderating, we will invite new, active moderators to keep these spaces open and accessible to users. If there is no consensus, but at least one mod who wants to keep the community going, we will respect their decisions and remove those who no longer want to moderate from the mod team.)

Has there been any indication that reddit may pay creators and moderators, like youtube and meta and other platforms do? or are they just expecting to pocket all the cash?
I thought I’d start this community off with a post featuring one of the favorites in my collection, my 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard.
Overall, she’s an incredibly well-preserved beauty and a tribute to the ’56 Les Paul, sure to spark some envy in the hearts of fellow guitar enthusiasts!
Just show edit history. For titles and comments. This happened a lot on Reddit when I was moderating there. Someone would write an abusive, or doxing comment etc. comment would be removed. They’d edit the comment the complain about it being removed.
Only work around we had was to screenshot comments when removing them.
Seeing edit history would be great. could even give mods the ability to revert, if worried about advertising. Or just if someone does it. Remove it. Ban them. Whatever. But as of now, you’d have no way of knowing.
