  • I have a Uhale 32" that’s mounted to the wall with a 1 TB USB drive. You can send pictures from your phone to the frame, or load up the USB drive. It’s pretty doggone neat. They do make a 21" and a 15". If I remember correctly the 32" was right at the $300 mark. At one time I did utilize the TV as a frame.

    They’re a bit of a niche product and I guess for elderly people

    I feel assaulted. LOL



  • I don’t think that most are ignoring the past life of RustDesk. I honestly can’t think of any widely used software, open or closed source, that hasn’t had controversy surrounding it during it’s lifespan. Be that as it may, in my humble opinion, RustDesk is about the best thing going in that dept. other than VNC. So, you pick your poison. As far as how long it takes mob mentality to forgive and/or forget, that’s not a concern of mine.













  • I don’t run the 'arr stack, but for comparison, one of my servers is a Optiplex 7020 SFF / i7-4790 / 32GB RAM. It’s running around 45 containers now with ease from automatons with n8n to streaming audio with Navidrome. In fact, it spends most of it’s life in an idle state with load averages looking like .20/.27/.32. I don’t do any transcoding tho, so I can’t speak to that as far as resources. I see others have made suggestions in that dept. As far as the 4 bay USB HDD, you’re going to need some storage space at some point or another so it’s not like it would be wasted effort.
