if I was going to do NAS I'd just get a dedicated nas box of some sort, rather than building out a pc or server I think -

@wolffangalchemist, nothing small time about those Lenovo tiny PCs though, those things are stupid powerful for how little power they consume. I'm running pretty much my entire homelab stack on one m920q right now, it's sipping like 50w at load and replaced a box that was idling at >200w -

Sicklyboy:
I had/have two custom built rackmount servers that I was using for my proxmox cluster but they just take up so much space and power. The only downside to these tiny PCs is RAM constraints, so I've offloaded some services to docker containers on my NASes instead since those aren't doing too much to begin with.

I had some really old AMD server dual CPU with enormous heat sinks but it didn't have modern features such as virtualization support so I scrapped the entire thing+1

I also had one of those WD MyCloud things or whatever my version was called. I had root access on that too, whatever stripped down ARM based debian build it was. Was cool but I couldn't really rely on it for server-ish stuff

@wolffangalchemist, real, smart TVs are so ass
I have a smart tv in my living room and still have one of the Android TV chromecast dongles plugged into it -

wolffangalchemist:
@Sicklyboy, yeah the my cloud was neat but really left me wanting more useful features. like the ability to add more than 2
drives later. -

Sicklyboy:
Oh my mycloud thing was just a single self contained unit like the WD mybook/elements external disks. Same shape but it had an ethernet port XD

wolffangalchemist:
and if i didnt plug in the external drive a few soconds after booting it just didnt show up at all so it was pretty temperment if you have a power outage.
