    I focus on the good news, like a lot of medical breakthrough stuff. I just heard researchers think they’re close to a cancer treatment pill that will target only the cancer cells.

    And the recent breakthrough in an artificial kidney! Only a very small fraction of kidney failure patients get transplants each year and this would be a game changer for the thousands who don’t. Plus no immunosuppressants and a much more normal life? Amazing!


  • I’m an amateur at this stuff and not at all familiar with the terminology, that said I had a similar setup to you I think, running a Windows PC with docker for P.O.-hole, homebridge, Plex etc. and then I was using an old MyCloud as the NAS. I got tired of troubleshooting issues and tweaking when things didn’t work and switched over.

    Now I run an Asus Mini PC with Ubuntu and docker as a Plex server and P.O.-hole. The rest is handled by a Synology DS912+ running docker for a secondary Plex server, I have 7-10 individual users, a second pi-hole for failover and homebridge.

    The Asus maps to the Synology on boot for the Plex media, all notifications for system issues/performance, out of date software etc. is handled by the Synology.

    Ultimately it’s going to depend on which software you prefer I think. If you like OMV and it’s working well stick with it.


  • Way to go! You weren’t defeated, you did the whole job you were able to. You can get a short length of pipe that will slide over your wrench handle to give you extra leverage in cases like this.

    I worked as a service writer in a shop full of mechanics (all men) and they all had a breaker bar wrench for these situations.

    Also, if you’ve got the DIY bug now and you take on more projects find a store (Harbor Freight is good if in the US) that sells cheap tools, buy them there and if you use it enough to break it, then go buy the more expensive/better made version.

    Saves from spending lots on a tool you rarely use.
