Am European, but not in the EU.
Wish I could do my part too

Yeah.

If it’s just a few clips and <50g of filament, I wouldn’t even charge for it to help someone out.
Pay postage and we’re good.

Honestly, for the price and reliability, it’s hard to beat them.
Personally I am unhappy with what they are doing, but acknowledge that buying a “no-fuzz, just works”-printer was the only way I would ever be allowed to have one in the house.
Now that the missus and kids love printing, it’s easier for me to get another that is open source.
If RatRig can get their Vcore 4 sorted, I’d love to grab one and have a project in the future.

That would be a mirror of my setup. GMKtec N100 with 16 Gb of RAM doing all the heavy lifting with Jellyfin (transcoding), game servers, HomeAssistant and so forth. Not once has it had a hickup.

It’s a brilliant little thing for really very little money.

Remember to activate C-states in BIOS to achieve the super low idle TDP people talk about, around 6-8W.

Good luck on your journey!

Cheers, HA integration is on the plan for the future, I just strugle with time these days with a small kid and work.

I wish I could.
Need the newer FW to use the drying function of the AMS2.

I’m considering going back to LAN and just dealing with it though. I really prefer Orca over Studio

I did the same.

Jellyfin and all “fun” containers to a N100 NUC and let the NAS be a NAS. It’s only running the .arr stack and qBit. Works really well and the NUC has power for days to expand.

I did this, but experienced a lot of issues connecting to it afterwards. Constant disconnects and it taking several minutes after opening Orca/Studio to find it.

Any advice, as I’d like to go back to LAN Mode?

Cheers

He never said it is. Most people don’t think it is.
We want NATO as a security, should we ever need it.

It’s like paying for insurance: let’s hope you never need it, but are glad to should the need arise. It’s not hard to understand, mate.

We all hope NATO can sit idly by and make plans they never ever need to execute.

Thank you, mate!

I was considering running it switched with remote power, but the nerd in me wanted to cut wires, solder and “automate”, it that makes sense.

I guess I will regret it the next time I need to do some work with my head inside the chamber hehe.

Yeah same.

NAS is running with everything I downloaded, seeding 24/7. I started back up about a year ago and my ratio passed 10 before Christmas. I did not download a single thing I didn’t want, but I try to stick to movies big enough to be freelech and downloaded seasons instead of single episodes, again as they are freeleech.

Fun fact for those strugling: my top 10 ratio seeds are all freelech and has netted a total of 2,6 TB. Not a single one of those files are newer than 3 years old.

It’s hard in the beginning, but stick to freeleech and keep building ratio, and before you know it you won’t have to think about it anymore.

Yeah it makes no sense, yet it’s so much fun when stuff finally works like it should!

Everybody loves using Jellyfin at home, but they think I’m mad for spending countless hours setting up everything the first time, then a second time to improve, then a third time as I migrated HW.

Keep having fun with it mate! The possibilities are endless

No problem, friend.

Feel free to ask if you need some help setting stuff up and good luck!

Yes, end-to-end. Only you have access to the files. Proton does not.

Yes Sir.

I do a backup of Proxmox to the NAS once a week and auto-delete anything older than one month, and I upload those and all pictures and critical files to the cloud. Critical files being personal data, information about the house, insurance papers etc.
Personally I use Proton and have 1 TB, which has been more than enough. It is also encrypted.

Movies, music and TV shows are not backed up as I don’t consider them critical at all. It can all be re-downloaded if needed.

I know there is unRAID and TrueNAS, but I went with a traditional NAS (Synology, before all the fuckery) and a small N100 NUC on the side.
The NAS is critical for the whole family with backups, pictures and general files, so I need it to be 110%. On it, I just run the .arr stack, Surveilance Station and Qbit, and the NUC runs all my other containers like Jellyfin and Home Assistant. Full access to the files via NFS and it gives me good power for transcoding when needed. Even 4K high bitrate files play seamlessly on WiFi now.

It’s been rock solid and I would probably do it the same way again if I had to rebuild.

Best of luck finding the appropriate solution for your needs, mate!

Cheers mate. It’s an inline fan with a max draw of <40W, so I’m hoping the inrush won’t be to bad.

Thanks for the feedback on plugs. Great to see people being happy with so many brands!

Interesting! Thanks friend!

Cheers! A bit pricier here, but looks to fit the bill

Cheers mate. Aquara I can find, so I’ll have a look at it!
