Thanks, don’t mind if I do

This has been the case since SATA revision 3.3, released Feb 2016. So while I may have exaggerated with “ancient”, a brand new PSU certainly shouldn’t still be feeding 3.3v to that pin.
Likely changing the “active” flag or boot stuff, but as the other commenter says, if you aren’t 100% confident, disconnect the scsi
I have done this with dozens of drives and have never had to do any pin blocking. You only need to do that if you’re using an absolutely ancient sata power cable that doesn’t know about the spinup pin change
VP9 has pretty wide support, probably due to the Google (and YouTube) backing. I sincerely doubt devices will phase out any codecs, especially not VP9.
AMD video cards have supported hardware decoding of VP9 since vcn1.0 - well before they had support for decoding AV1
AV1 and VP9 are likely going to be your highest efficiency “free” codecs. AV1 is the way to go if you mean free as in free open source. It’s not very likely to be implemented in many TVs or set-top-boxes, but VLC/ffmpeg will be able to decode any of these. Webm uses vp8 or VP9 which are “free”(made by Google) but it’s just more specific settings for sharing online/viewing in browser.
H264/H265 has license fees for non-free software and hardware, but they will be your most widely supported option. H265 is approximately twice as efficient as h264 (meaning you can get the same quality of encode from half the file size).
Regardless of preset I think you can get handbrake to encode something reasonable from any of these codecs. Especially with DVD video you’ll be able to crank through videos with modern high efficiency codecs
It certainly is. ISO 27001 is a framework, not very prescriptive at all. Basically an auditor will ask “how do you ensure data isn’t leaving your facility in the form of discarded hardware?” If you say “here’s a link to our media destruction policy. It says all drives are wiped according to NIST 800-88 cryptographic erasure. If that is not possible or not applicable, the drive is destroyed. Here’s our log of decomissioned equipment” chances are very good they’ll say “OK great let’s move on to the next one” with only minor followup questions.
Op said they tried without the firewall connected and had the same results
Nintendo online is a lot like Xbox live. You can play single player without it (generally) but have to pay to get online/multiplayer
yes, you can have multiple accounts on the switch each with their own save, without paying for online for all/any of them.
I don’t know if I’d guarantee that. Who knows what dumb services things rely on. If you want something that’ll work maybe consider a more open ecosystem like that of the steam deck or its competitors
Thanks, I hate it. Not that free esxi was super great but at least it was something
RAID for uptime, backups for data you care about. RAID(1+) will keep your data online when a disk fails, but backups are the real way to keep data around if shit hits the fan. For a personal media collection, you might be better served with a non resilient RAID0 (total failure if one drive fails) with a backup around to recover from when that happens. If you do e.g. a raid5 you lose 1 disk of capacity in exchange for 1 disk of resiliency, raid6 same but 2 disks. That gives you some safety but there are a lot of instances where those raids don’t save you from losing all your data. If you buy 4x 18TB drives, you could have 36TB from the 1st two drives and then backup to the other two drives.
There’s no specific type of drive to worry about unless you’re doing RAIDs especially with ZFS. Search shingle RAID rebuild for the biggest thing to worry about there.
Almost always, yes. Slow drives throttle the rest.
I’ve never used them but people say good things about synology most of the time. Everything comes with a cost and it’s hard to make any sensible recommendations without knowing your constraints; primarily your budget.
Security comes in layers. If someone compromises your DNS server, or switch, (or does arp poisoning, etc etc) for example, but not the reverse proxy, (and it resolves backend via DNS and it doesn’t validate/pin certs), they could intercept the traffic transparently. If you have SSL on that link, it massively reduces the attack potential.
Reading this makes me want to try gentoo again…
Personal preference: Jellyfin instead of plex
Some that I run that you don’t seem to have anything for:
Are you hoping to keep the same motherboard/ram/etc? What have you been asking from it that it hasn’t been keeping up with?
I was going to ask about resolution as I haven’t tested it myself. Considering my screen is 32:9 (7160x3840) I’d be pretty disappointed with a 1920x540 recording
