I agree, but that still requires a lot of research and thoughts on the ideal zRAID layout.

I wouldn't recommend TrueNAS SCALE to everyone and certainly not as someone's first NAS OS. Sure, the GUI is great and its lack of flexibility prevents users from shooting themselves in the foot, but it requires lots of thoughts on zRAID settings and apps get complicated once you look outside the community-supported ones.
Is plex somewhat simple to setup and is there other software I should look at?
Yes, it's rather simple to install. I don't know where your "family videos" come from, but if you want to automate the download process you can take a look at Radarr and Sonarr (also known as the Servarr stack)
I set up iSponsorBlockTV on my NAS: it connects to the YouTube app on your TV (as would your smartphone app) and mutes ads and skips sponsored segments.
Initial setup is a bit arcane, but once it's done it works perfectly!
As far as I'm aware, Lemmy does not have a way to add weights to communities visibility (ie. making some communities more visible by giving them a higher weight and vice-versa)
Maybe change your sorting to Hot or Active?
They seem to have copied the approach from multiple European newspapers that consists to disable tracking if you subscribe. And unfortunately most data protection agencies seem okay with that.
It infuriates me that you have to pay for the basic right to not be tracked, given that you already have to be particularly tech-literate to avoid tracking by yourself...
I have very limited experience with 12ft ladder, I tried it a couple times and never worked for the articles I wanted to read.
Archive.today has a very different way to bypass paywalls that makes it more effective: while 12ft ladder tries to pass as Google's crawler to see the article, Archive.today makes use of paying accounts credentials plus a botnet to avoid being blocked: https://gyrovague.com/2023/08/05/archive-today-on-the-trail-of-the-mysterious-guerrilla-archivist-of-the-internet/
Use it as a webcam? Probably way better than most webcams on the market.
Check your ad-blocker, some blocklists have blocked files.catbox.moe for some reason unknown to me.
And replace them with walled-garden devices that don't allow you to do anything besides a restricted set of uses defined by manufactures and right holders.
It mutes pre and post ads, it unfortunately cannot skip them.
