It’s a long article but absolutely worth it. I don’t want to put an tl;dr here because every word there is worth reading.

I haven’t used them but umbrel looks promising: https://umbrel.com/

I’m using a synology and as others have said, it’s pretty friendly to non-techies, with lots of point and click configurations

I really liked its UI but had to pass since it doesn’t support multiple currencies. Currently eyeing firefly 3

I was thinking about giving this a shot, this is sad. Is it in a good shape at least? Perhaps it’s still usable?

They’re not gamers, they’re entertainers playing video games. Gamers who earn money are really pros, in which case they’re comparable to athletes.

Realistically, if this were to happen, current US government would use the scale from Family Guy

Unfortunately you have to be a product manager or similar for this game.

Infuse is amazing and doesn’t even need plex/jellyfin, it can stream via smb or webdav
