After getting burnt on the unRAID license change and the restriction on security updates, I figured there had to be a simple os that I can essentially set, forget, and easily update when I need, which also uses SnapRAID. I might just try this out.

Okay yeah that's very true the proctoring systems suck entire ass.
I do love open source, but hearing "Moodle" aged me like a decade lmao. Also nextcloud for everything? I guess having every tool you need centralized makes sense but I do wonder how well it scales across tens of thousands of people.
I really don't get the Chromebook complaint. It just needs to browse the internet, and a Chromebook is damn solid at that at a super reasonable price and are rugged as hell. Yeah I wish schools didn't hook into the g suite but like what, you want em on a windows machine to do the same things as on chrome os?
This and grapheneos were the two big reasons I got a pixel 8 after I broke my 5 on a small drop. The third was I got it for basically perfect condition for $350 on ebay which is so baller.

Here's to hoping a solid sbc with gpio pins and solid software support shows up as a competitor to keep them in check?
I agree with you, but I still hope for your sake and others that you drive relatively safe and make good driving choices lmao
I know it's been years since they changed this but I'm still upset. But it doesn't change much cause I also just look up everything before I watch it since there's no way in hell I trust companies not to filter reviews lol.
I haven't looked very hard so there could be backup services I'm missing. So far I've found restic/autorestic and duplicati, but I'm not sure what their differences in purposes are or pros/cons between them.
Also I've heard Unraid has a flexible storage solution which would be nice as I would like to just upgrade as I go instead of planning substantial disk upgrades, but are there also solutions for that on custom built systems instead of SHR?
My parents won't necessarily be using the NAS, I'd just be using some kind of system (maybe even just a raspi) as a remote backup solution with a wireguard tunnel to my local NAS, but if a drive fails, I'd be about 700 miles away to manage it.
If it was a perfect world, I'd like to just ship a new drive to my parents and tell them to unplug the failing one and plug in the new one, then manage the rest automatically/myself remotely, but I assume that's a pipe dream.
