Because the web interface is perfectly fine and I honestly don’t see why every freaking website needs to be an app these days.

No, because it’s not a standard lemmy feature and I don’t use 3rd party apps.

How many hours did it take you to set everything up?

I have a synology NAS, so the basic setup for just cloud storage comes almost out of the box. 2 hours maybe (because I like to tinker, could be faster)

How much did you eventually spend for everything combined?

Around $6000 for me, but it’s quite the extravagant setup.

What are the running costs?

I didn’t have to replace anything so far, so it’s really just the electricity cost (But I don’t even know what my total eletricity bill is, so no idea how much the NAS added).

How much space does it gobble up?

270 mm x 300 mm x 340 mm for mine, so really quite compact. Currently sits at the edge of my desk.

How loud is it?

The fan isn’t louder than any other desktop PC but you get a lot of HDD noise. Doesn’t bother me since I use headphones most of the time, but even without them I could just put it in another room. But you probably don’t want to set it up in the bedroom.

Backup/redundancy plan?

I have 3-2-1 backup for my important data (only couple of TB), but no backup for the media library so far. But the raid6 setup with a hot spare should keep it reasonably safe from single disk faliures. I’m thinking about adding a UPS, but our energy grid is really stable and power outages are super rare, so it’s not a high priority.

Internet connection good enough (upload speed)?

Yeah, currently only 100mbit up, that’s quite limiting but enough for what I use it at the moment. I might be able to upgrade to 1gbps upload later this year, fingers crossed.

Ok, boomer.

Aura, kill yourself.

Too many …

Mostly educational channels. I have to go and sort some out again … I’m above $100 per month …

In USA?

I said we still have due process and the rule of law, so obviously not.

No need, we still have due process and the rule of law where I live.

Dunno, you just came across as a little bit noncey.

Right, exept OP said “around”, like in the same house for example. It was you that changed it to “in front”. Those are very different implications.

This wasn’t really a thread about child abuse until you showed up.

I do however think it’s not an unreasonable assumption to make that a paedophile may want to read stories of parents sexually abusing their children.

Really, that’s where you mind went from reading OPs question? I think that says more about you than OP.

What confusion?

Glitches usually don’t accidentally cause entire “features” to emerge.
