I think you can generate static html reports from tautulli

100% this. Long long time portainer user. With multiple upgrade failures where it would not move my container setup forward i moved to dockge after it got remote system support. The difference in simplicity is night and day.

I love grav. Yes its a chore intially but ive move 30+ site from wp to it and all my clients love it

I do the same. If i like them i download the discog. Gotta do something with 200tb nas

Homebox is written by the same dev as mealie which ive been using forever. Im a big fan. It works very well for my needs hes also very receptive to feedback

Homebox is quite good. I use it for my farm

Joplin server also will use a file based storage instead of the db. And db then is only used for users

I use joplin as i share notes and collaborate with my wife. Obsidian etc dont do that. Id love to be on obsidian as i really like it but sharing notebooks is mandatory

Yup thats why i upgraded. Im 56. Eyes arent the same

Its really what you can afford. Replacing the ssd with a bigger one is trivial if you are even remotely handy. So the real question is the screen.

Oled is amazingly better than the lcd ( i have both)

Battery life in oled is a bigger deal than i thought.

For me the antiglare screen was a big improvement aseell. My led disnt have it and my oled does. I can play in alot more sifferent liighting with less eyestrain. Some brighter places the led just wasnt acceptable to play. Ive had no issues with led and antiglare

So if its in budget get the top end oled. Else look for the 512 led with anti glare

Any ideas about linux/wine support?

Yup. Has an easy docker setup. Also if you have a kobo you can sync your shelfs wirelessly. Love it

I have 8 of these in 4tb. They are wonderful and ive not had a single issue

I think anything with an intel chip is golden. I have single port intel gigabit nics in all my boxes and zero issues

yep lazylib for books and mags. that feed calibre which cleans and converts to kepub, then that all is synched to nas for calibre-web

there are people that only use lazylib as it has odps server aswell

i use calibre on desktop to clean uip library like you. After any updates i sync it to a dir on my nas that calibre web uses. its a really good setup and passes the wife test

look at calibreweb for web front end. it is VERY good, It even syncs to my kobo wirelessly. love that app

Sorry cant help with das recco. Sabrent makes decent stuff i have a external that has 4 2.5 bays that i fill with older ssds when i cycle them out.

And yea a pure das should not be a secuiry issue

i bought a beelink n100 and love it. samba/paperless-ngx work fine. Immich is a heavy load doing all the ml stuff so if you have a large photo library itll take a while

Use a das and run mergerfs if on linux. Makes all the drives look like one big one

Qnap has had some MAJOR security issues. If you get it block the shit out of in. Meaning no way to let it in/out of your network.

Im a big fan of synology. Had a qnap and bolted after all thier crap. Syno interfaces are mich better imho
