SAS drives tends to be top quality server stuff… I would keep them until the break then replace with cheaper sata.
Unless you need something less power hungry (SSSs?) or less noisy.
Also keep the hardware raid, why not. You should be able to remove the raid inside its bios and see the four disks individually.
Gentoo user since forever.
The most consistent and long time solid distro, IMHO.
I use it everywhere I can, from servers to laptops. It’s so flexible and predictable that I simply love it.
Nowadays emerging stuff is so fast that I wonder why bother with binary packages at all. Once, when compiling Firefox took DAYS well… But in today’s hardware, meh.
;)
Tried photoprism, then tried immich. Never went back.
Easier installation, easier management, more polished, just better overall
I use darktable, it’s open source and good for my needs, but indeed bit rough.
I worked through three zogbee dongles from Amazon including the sonoff one.
Always had issues with my mesh. Upgrading to the one provided by Nabu guys (the v1) fixed them all and it’s been almost one year rock solid now. No more disconnection or better devices losing it
OpenList?
This, run your own instance.
That’s the point I guess. You don’t like others rules? Set your instance and live by your rules.
Navidrome + tempo (or any other subsonic clients)…
And spotizerr to fetch from deezer/Spotify once. Or Slskd for a nice soulseek experience
Navidrome for music, jellyfin for video based media. Audiobookshelf for podcasts and audiobooks.
Get the best of each one, much better.
Love ha.
I suggest to purchase a home assistant gren device as its really well done and super stable. I moved to one of those after hosting ha on many different devices over time, and would not go back.
You also support the project, which is cool.
