I’m not the only one seeing a little Weiner dog with a cape jumping into a hand in the Nokia thumbnail, right?

System was really something that was greater than the sum of the parts. Serj’s solo stuff was decent, so was Daron’s SOB, but neither hit like System.

Traditional RAID isn’t very flexible and is meant/easiest for fresh disks without data. Since you’ve already got data in place, look into something like SnapRAID.

Intel Arc A310. They’re $100, support AV1 and powered completely by the PCIe bus. Combine it with Tdarr and you can compress your media library down to half the size easily while still being able to easily stream to any device you have.

Nearly any SBC you’d buy would beat the pants off it. If you’re shopping by price then check out a Libre Computer Sweet Potato or Renegade, or a Friendly Elec NanoPi R2S+. They’re <=$40 and should be able to run at least the services you mentioned. If you have more budget, there are $100 mini PCs on Amazon that are great for self hosting tons of stuff, like a Bmax B1 Pro.

Supposedly the next gen Intel Battlemage cards are coming soon. I’d just wait for those rather than drop the cash on the current cards.

Something headless for just running containers? Alpine.

It’s small, boots fast, simple, can run from RAM and Docker is available in its software repository.

I’d try to make it every time but it feels grrrreat

I mean, it works though. I’m not masturbating most of the times I eat corn flakes.
