I am currently moving from a Synology DS920+ to using my Mac Mini M4 + DAS with hardware RAID. The Synology is great, but I want to get away from the proprietary RAID that it’s using. I was running Plex on it, as well as all my *Arr’s etc via docker, but Plex and all of these services on the Mac Mini run like greased lightning compared to the Synology. Sonarr/Radarr load instantly versus taking a minute to load the library on the Synology.

I think doing it this way rather than an all in one device is easier to maintain and upgrade. Run all the services in docker so you can make them on any device that you might upgrade/change to, and just have a big RAID array of drives. Plus this way I can use Backblaze personal and backup the entire 50TB for like $99 a year :|

Use both.

I use both, and I’ve found Usenet to be significantly better for old content. Not even close.

So how long before you admit you’re wrong? If they don’t sell it in 2 years? 5 years? 10 years?

You’re literally spreading FUD based on your paranoia.

“All your data” lol

I care about my actual private data. My email that I hand out to dozens of sites isn’t that. What movies/tv shows of Plex’s - not my collection - isn’t that. It’s definitely not an issue when it’s opt-in like this is.

It’s an email address, it doesn’t matter lol

It’s also not for your personal media, only what you watch of their hosted content. They aren’t selling that your most watched thing is your highly curated big booty whores collection.

And just like that we’re at silly made up hypothetical situations to drive fear and an agenda. That’s not even worth entertaining.

Btw these changes and the data that is shared/sold are only for plex’s hosted movies and shows - not your personal media collection.

We do not and will not collect information about content or titles in your personal media library or what you’ve played.

Personal media users: we do NOT, and will not, share or sell any information about the content and titles on or your use of a personal media server.

No, I don’t generally carry Firesticks around with me.

Easy if the device you’re trying to listen on has a tailscale app and a JellyFin app, which is unlikely unless you’re using your phone or a tablet/pc.

It’s opt-in. Zero issue here.

No, so I only use well known widely used open source programs. If I’m doing a code review I’m getting paid to do it.

And? Why should we care? If I’m already using instagram and other social media platforms that we all know do this, I am clearly ok with it aren’t I?

You’re in a post about people outraged about an opt-in anonymous data sharing option on Plex, and you’re not worried about known security issues because you haven’t heard of anything bad happening yet?

Make it make sense.

You can literally click “I do not agree” lol. Also the “personal data” is a hashed email (so they don’t get your email), ip address, and watch history. Not very “personal”, and not anything that violates your privacy or is of any concern to you.

And you can say no. Where’s the problem?

Also “personal data” is a bit of a stretch.

How are you intending on backing up the recordings from your security system? Where do the recordings from it go by default?

Yeh I’ve read more and more people choosing software raid, and you can still do that with the DAS.

Yeh a DAS is basically just an enclosure, well most of them. Some do have hardware raid though.

Honestly I’d just buy a mini pc for a few hundred bucks, and a 5-6 bay DAS like a terramaster for a few hundred more. Way easier for someone that has never built a pc or a nas.

I’m guessing as a mini pc it doesn’t have much processing power to begin with, so barely worth it - especially when you look at the downsides of wear and tear on the machine, performance degradation for your own services, electricity bill increase, etc.
