No worries it wasn’t an attack on you or your totally fair question. I’m no where near knowledgeable enough to give any valid responses to the inquiry, I just thought I’d share why I feel like I (we?) need it. I wanted to do X for my community and I was told I need Y to do it, thus for me for this use case its necessary. That’s all I was sayin.

I made a Gemini site once and then I was like “that was fun” and then it was over. 😅

I run a website where my community and I all contribute to a free shared database that houses settings for machines we can use. I don’t know how I’d really do that without managing every single submission manually. I think that like all things there’s a way to use js responsibly.

They had to give us something for all that telemetry to keep their entirely educated and tech savy user base on board. 🙄

I’ve been curious about running a hardware firewall/router, I’ve seen it discussed but don’t know much about it. I also hear a lot of people swear by their proxmox setups but I am a complete noob there so again more research would be required. What I’ve heard about running a proxmox setup has looked overwhelming at a glance.

yeah a TV box was definitely pretty high up on my possible uses list.

lol I haven’t heard the “RAID is not a backup” before but it’s true I’ll have to see how I would manage that and what data would be a good candidate for this implementation.

I have a ton of handhelds I usually use for this purpose and a pretty powerful workstation I use to run heavier games but I’ve thought about like a tv box setup for doing such activities in the living room. Could be fun.

Another good suggestion. I’ll have to look into how to get this set up I haven’t tackled something like this before.

Thanks I have a dark corner or two, this sounds like an interesting idea.

Thanks for the response. I currently am housing something like 24TB of data give or take so unfortunately I don’t think they’d make effective backups. There’s simply too much. I have my current storage array in RAID6 so that’s my backup solution at the moment.
