Not really familiar with Synology, but you could build and run it as a docker container. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/core/docker/build-container

My partner and I do the same exact thing! 😆

Time for some girly drinks that actually taste good ☠️

You could use Tailscale funnel, cloudflare tunnel (I don’t know if cloudflare ToS allows video streaming) or setup a VPN/Tailscale and reverse proxy on a cloud VPS.

I have those same drive cages sitting in my spare parts closet lol. You can jam it into 3x 5.25” bays sideways!

How is the display connected?

I can’t wait for shitposting in VR

Best Lemmy mobile app so far, just need admin and mod features added and I won’t need to open Safari anymore for Lemmy 😆

I haven’t used gmail in years, but I switched my domain email from O365 to iCloud about a year ago to save a few dollars a month (already have iCloud+ 200gb). Pretty much just works how I expect email to, haven’t had any issues. I used Apple Mail already on my devices so same UI and everything for me.

Server pulls around 150W with drives spun down, over 200 with all 6 spinning. UPS with all the networking equipment, server, desktop, raspi and apple tv usually hovers around 200-400W depending whether the gaming PC is on.

My last month power consumption was 151.76kWh for the UPS or around $29/mo in electricity.

edit: server is an old Dell R710 w/ dual X5675’s, 128gb of ram, GT730 for transcoding, 6x4TB 3.5” SAS drives for the array, and a 500gb SSD for cache running Unraid.

Hot subscribed is my default but I cycle through all the different sort settings. Thanks to lemmycommunityseeder I have a All feed that’s populated like a bigger instance on my personal instance

Install docker for windows containers and play around and see what you can get running? I ran pretty much all the same containers as I do on linux when I was using windows server. 1GB of RAM is going to be the big limiting factor.

Do you get better speeds transferring over Tailscale when both machines are on the same LAN? I have no problems pushing 400mbit over Tailscale but it does use a ton of CPU so maybe the Synology CPU is the bottleneck if you have similar speeds after eliminating your internet connection.

I use calibre and calibre-web. I have the DeDRM and ACSM plug-ins installed in calibre so I can buy a book from ebooks.com or wherever, drop the acsm file in my auto import folder, then just download the drm stripped epub from calibre-web and import to the Books app on my iPad.
