I'm not terribly familiar with the Fairphones, but are you able to upgrade the ram yourself? I feel like that should be a key part of the modularity concept.

What is an M? Miles? That doesn't seem right.

If you wash your balls with it, rinse quickly afterwards, or they may feel like a Dentyne Ice commercial.

I can't help much on that front. If I'd like to watch on the TV, I do the same and just cast from a laptop or PC. There's IPTV, but it's a whole other rabbit hole that I'm not familiar with.

Oh definitely. Its essentially a massive case of 'it's difficult to get someone to understand something when their salary depends on not understanding it.'

It is a great example of how an industry can survive with only self-reported effectiveness. I remember a freakonomics episode where it was shown that very infrequently do companies get a positive return on marketing spending. It will be very interesting if that industry ever collapses.

I'd gladly pay for a reasonably priced service (probably no more than $20/mo, but even that is on the steep side) where I could watch whatever game I'd like with no blackouts. Unfortunately, that doesn't exist, so, here we arr.

If I remember correctly, OMV takes the whole drive for the OS as well.

I switched to Proxmox a couple months ago from OMV and am glad I did. I love the ability to really experiment with pretty much anything without impacting the services already running. I've been tinkering with Home Assistant, got Blue Iris on a Windows VM after Frigate wouldn't seem to play nice for me, and have added a few other services I didn't even know existed when using OMV. Scheduled backups are very nice as well.

It's pretty straightforward to set up and there are lots of tutorials and documentation if you get stuck somewhere. I'd recommend it, coming from a pretty basic user with limited experience outside of Windows.

+1 for Ubiquiti here too. My network is a fair bit smaller, but I have a regular Dream Machine for WiFi, router and firewall, and just an 8 port poe switch for two AP-AC-Pros and two cameras. The ecosystem is very expandable too, so I can easily add devices if I'm running out of capacity.

They're a little pricier, but definitely worth it IMO for something that just works with minimal tinkering. Networking setup is quite easy as well, Mactelecom networks on YT has some great videos on that.

How many people are actually auditing an open source app themselves though? And if they don't, they again need to trust others' opinion.
