Renaming the department of defense the department of war is definitely going to win him the peace prize

For what it’s worth, they’re dropping the branded drive requirement https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/10/synology-caves-walks-back-some-drive-restrictions-on-upcoming-nas-models/

Are there any security concerns that this is a Chinese company?

Does it do RAID?

I’m in a similar situation with my 218+ so I’m interested to hear some answers. It’s still running great though so I don’t need to replace it soon but I like planning ahead

I use Proton VPN only because I use Proton everything else. If not, I’d probably consider Mullvad. But I’m in the US and regional pricing doesn’t apply.

Can you explain to my mom how to install tailscale on her Roku and that she has to turn it on each time she wants to use Jellyfin but then back off again when she wants to watch something on a different app?

Couldn’t have said it better myself. Very Give a Mouse a Cookie vibes when talking to someone explaining how Jellyfin is a drop in replacement for Plex when they’re on step 6 of setting up remote access

I still use Craigslist! Have alerts set up right now

Conversely, letting friends use your Jellyfin is complicated.

The networking aspect is basically the only thing stopping me from switching from Plex to Jellyfin. I got Jellyfin running and accessing my server myself, while on my home network is easy. However, when it comes to accessing outside of my network, it gets complicated, and when it comes to other people accessing my server it gets more complicated, and then accessing my own server and friends’ servers it gets even more complicated.

With Plex, all of that is super easy. I can watch stuff from my own server and my friends’ servers on any device, including a web browser, and I can tell my mom, for example, “install Plex on your Roku and tell me what email address you use to log in” and boom, she has access to my library.

Dude Facebook hasn’t been cool in a decade and it’s still very much a thing

Wow, didn’t know Pocket Casts has ads now. Just opened it up to check, and yep. Right on the homepage, an add for Pocket Casts Plus.

Maybe it’s time to check out Antenna Pod

I’ve definitely hired a plumber without using Meta

And you also need a public domain. So I have to register, pay for, and configure that as well.

Recognize that we’re on like step 7 of “just use Jellyfin instead of Plex”

Until you try to share your library with someone and have to parse terms like reverse proxy or figure out how your mom can install a vpn on her Roku

Do you know if you can import and edit STL files with 3d experience?
