The mental health misinformation (or more charitably, widespread misunderstanding) on TikTok is fucking wild. Especially in regard to ADHD, autism, and couples therapy

Thank you for that added detail.

I think that actually reinforces my point about rentals though- I'm a relatively tech savvy individual and I didn't know much of that, and would have been unlikely to be able to easy learn that information in an environment/situation such as "need a rental car now".

Police unions and private prison system lobbyists have entered the chat

A few months ago I made a reservation to rent a car with hertz. When I showed up, the only available car was a mostly dead EV. I'm glad I did a little research before agreeing to it because I would have had to go way out of my way to charge it, and the charging process would have taken HOURS to achieve the charge I needed for my trip.

I'm pro-EV in general but rental companies shouldn't be offering them in their current state imo

I assume it's a reference to It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

I don't have a ton of experience with NASes but I've just recently set up my first unRAID server and had similar requirements.

Totally agree with the USB annoyance. It technically serves as the boot drive but the OS itself runs on the RAM once started. I have a 500gb ssd which I use as a cache drive, then an array of 2x4tb HDD plus another 4tb parity drive, with plans to expand; ultimately that's why I chose unRAID over TrueNAS because I read that it was much easier to add drives to your array in the former.

As far as docker, I run 9 containers 24/7. Most of them are *arr media acquisition software and Jellyfin. I don't think I've ever had to do CLI with those with the exception of installing a cloud flare tunnel. The native docker support works well. Some people prefer spinning up a Linux VM then using docker on that but I've never found a reason to try that (plus I can't get VMs working correctly. Not sure why).

As a comparison, I've also got an orangepi5 which I run home assistant and associated containers via docker compose, and the unraid system is definitely a lot easier.

A piece that I don't have the knowledge to address is which platform would be the easiest to import your data into. From my limited experience, I had to add drives to my array, format them to the desired file system, add my data over the local network, then physically add the remaining drive. With as much data as you have, that strat could be problematic.

Honestly as the climate gets worse, I think this will be a lot more common.

I have not. Especially with the desktop client, which automatically will switch to another server if you get dropped. As far as speeds, I've also never noticed a problem but my bottleneck is my ISP so it's hard to know.

Yes! In fact the only way I have any dreams at all are when I sleep on my back. Side or stomach = no dreams, lucid or otherwise

Everyone here has laid out very good instructions on setup.

My method is a little less sophisticated but when I'm setting up new devices, I'll plug them into the only monitor I have, and eventually get them to the point where everything else can be done headless with either ssh or the webUI of whatever application I'm using. After that, it really never needs a monitor again.

That's very similar to what I run and I've never had any problems.
