You don’t want a swap file on the SD card as excessive writes will kill it rather quickly.

I’ll take an 8 bay NAS with Thunderbolt/USB 4 for the best of both worlds. My only problem is that I’m very sensitive to sound and I don’t want spinning hard drives in my office.
I’m very happy with ansible-NAS! https://ansible-nas.io/
It takes some extra time to understand and configure up front on another computer, but once you do, reimaging the server in case of problems takes a single command.
Wifi inside the cage?
Nope, but I did move from Waze to Google Maps and now settled on Apple Maps because of increasing enshittification and ad bloat.
Nope, I think our only hope is the EU forcing more openness on the platform. Thankfully there are safari addons now, they’re useful though limited. I just wish we had Firefox and its extension library like android does now.
You’re right about Apple. I hope the EU will force openness into the ecosystem. I’m also hopeful that open and free alternatives will continue to become more viable in terms of user experience; the switch to Lemmy from Reddit has been mostly painless.
Thanks for the recommendations.
Edit: Raivo is perfect for a dedicated Authenticator app in the Apple ecosystem. I’ll likely pay for Bitwarden instead as I want to support their great product.
Any iOS alternatives? Couldn’t find either of these in the App Store.
If you’re only accessing the server remotely via Tailscale and no ports are open, is it necessary to have the server on its own isolated VLAN? I like accessing my server locally most of the time and via Tailscale when I’m out and about.
The second reason for me was advertising inside Plex, and generally a UI focused on what they want me to see instead of what I want to do. Jellyfin isn’t a commercial product so it won’t get enshittified over time.
Have you managed to avoid ads on YouTube? Does it work well for streaming games from a PC?
Just checked on my pi4 with 4GB of ram that has been running beautifully as a NAS with 2x10TB USB drives mirrored, *arr suite, and Jellyfin for a couple of years, only 250mb of RAM free. I’m glad I splurged and got the 4gb model.
