  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    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 @ wolffangalchemist:
    @Sicklyboy facts, i have a se
    cond one set up to stream to our bedroom, we have a not smart tv in there but even if it was a smart tv i would still do it that way.

  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    I considered mycloud but didn't get one
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    man my old 42" TV nic and wifi don't work right. I replaced the TV with an oled set, it is spiff
  • realtimesave @ realtimesave:
    48" OLED display :)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @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 @ 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 @ 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 @ wolffangalchemist:
    yeah mine has a single usb 3,0 and the network port.
  • wolffangalchemist @ 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.
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    oof that's inconvenient
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    I could probably makeshift a decent usb nas from my old hp laptop if I wasn't so lazy
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    i got two more M720q units that my job tossed, eventually gonna
    do something with those maybe a firewall or something like that.

  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm running TrueNAS Scale on both my NAS boxes right now. One with 12x 8TB disks and one with 14x 14TB disks :tpi: I've spent way too much fucking money on this hobby
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    @Sicklyboy, do you have a tally how much you sunk in
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @wolffangalchemist, OPNsense! Or, go a step further, and virtualize it :D
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, no and it's better for my mental health if I don't
  • wolffangalchemist @ wolffangalchemist:
    @K3Nv3, pretty much anything with Gigabit lan and a healthy amount of usb 3 ports will make a really good nas.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Each new drive bought is another therapy expense lol
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Google fiber use to be nice and supported usb over router be were like nah no one's using it
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @K3Nv3, I bought most of these 14TB disks when they were at their cheapest during covid, around 160 a piece I think. Give or take a little, plus a few of those disks are refurbed enterprise disks that were cheaper. So, you do the math :P
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    And that's not taking into account the PC hardware that's running it, the rackmount case, the 5.25" bay disk caddys...
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    Some would call me insane and I wouldn't blame them.
  • K3Nv3 @ K3Nv3:
    Apps like stremio definitely doesn't help my want for one but there are still some shows I'd rather have on local storage not many seed anymore
