  • I always chuckle thinking about taking a 1TB Micro SD back in time and watching people’s heads explode.

    I remember being in college in the very early 90s and a friend got a machine with 2 2gb hard drives and wondering what he was going to do with all that space. Now I have a NAS at home with something like 100TB and it’s almost 75% full.









  • I’m not a windows hater per se, but I am for using the best tool for the job.

    And in my opinion windows is not the best tool for self hosting. There are things windows does work well for that meshes well with self hosting and that’s docker. Honestly I’d focus on that for a lot of reasons but primarily because it’s a very easy to deploy self contained way to provide services. And the differences between docker on windows and Linux is almost negligible.





  • This probably doesn’t help you much right now but I have a QNAP as well. And I too despise the QTS software. But I found out that TrueNAS can run on it pretty easily. I have an NVME drive on a usb-c enclosure that I installed trueNAS on and it boots fine into it. If I ever wanna go back it’s just a remove the boot drive and reformat (the ZFS pools are compatible unfortunately).
