    A good friend of mine swears by it. I have a new NAS coming in the next few weeks that I’m using as a project box, with yours and his recommendations I’ll spin that up first and build around that...

    I have a new NAS coming in the next few weeks that I’m using as a project box, with yours and his recommendations I’ll spin that up first and build around that to see if it fits the bill. Thanks!

    Going off the grid for my pick with gen 6 - Pokemon Y. For a very personal reason, it was my first living dex, and also the last true living full dex. The feeling of organizing, playing old games and trading up Pokémon, trading in GTS and wondershare, using the coin trick to swing around the tower to hatch eggs.

    As a fan of the series for a long time, that was the first time I set my mind to it and accomplished it, and that generation will always hold a special place for that reason.

    1500 hours.

    R530 with a T1000 for transcoding jobs as the Xeons from that era didn’t have QSV.

    Running Unraid with the *arrs, Plex, Jellyfin, calibre, audiobookshelf, checkrr, homebridge, mylar3, Nextcloud, overseerr, Plex-auto-languages, Plex-meta-manager, portainerCI, recyclarr, scrutiny, tautulli, tdarr, Jackett, nzbhydra2, prowlarr, flaresolverr and a couple of other backups and assorted dockers and VMs.

    Books and audiobooks have their own Readarr instances.
    Plex has everything I need to barely ever touch it or settings on the screens.
    Tdarr makes sure everything is in h.265
    The overlap with indexer managers is because some sites play nice with some and others with others.

    I also run a QNAP that is my backup machine as everything backs up to it and then it uploads those backups to the cloud to complete my 3-2-1 plan. The backups are in bare metal and file format so I can pull whole drives for restore or single files.

    I also run two DNS servers, one simple with just reverse lookup zones for local network items, the other with ad-blocking/family filtering so I can A/B if something isn’t working right.

    With my PoE switch and rest of my network rack it actually isn’t too bad on power. The 13th gen Dell servers definitely aren’t as power hungry as their older brothers.

    I’m very likely switching to a NAS in the near future however as the server is getting long in the tooth.

    If I were to change anything at this point, maybe I’d start with a different hypervisor/docker host, but after tinkering with some others the learning curve for unraid is way less steep, and I’m not ashamed to admit I just don’t feel like being big brain sometimes.
