Glances has everything you require and it can also be self-contained.

Subsonic or similar?

Absolutely disgusting behavior.

Fair enough, but I wouldn’t host something I consider as an essential service on something that isn’t constantly powered.

Guess our use cases are way too different to properly compare. 😊

I feel you. I have a used Moxa E2210 for IOs. I prefer not to think how much I paid for that.

No shit. I have five Lenovo Tiny M720q with the i5-9500t and 32 gigs of RAM each in a XCP-NG cluster, another one as standalone Plex server (QuickSync kept on failing under XCP) plus an old Shuttle SFF with an old (2015, I think) Atom acting as standalone.

Power consumption is pretty much minimal, with NVMEs I don’t have to worry about slow data rates, nor sudden disk failures.

Most of all, all of these were cheap and easy to find. My two 8 bays Synology cost me way more, without even taking the disks in consideration.

Why would I even go for a RasPi or equivalent?

Depending on how heavy it is, you could use some blue tack. It comes off pretty easily without removing traces on the wall.

Is there a specific reason to mount the lun directly opposed to creating a virtual disk? Performance, maybe?

I use Lidarr on one of my servers to automate downloads/tagging/placement of music on my NAS, so I don’t honestly know. Sorry! 😔

I don’t know any of the software you mentioned, but looking at a screnshot from Puddletag I would assume you first need to mount your share.

Your comment instead displays (pun intended) a lack of understanding on business. Samsung doesn’t only makes phone, they have whole divisions making everything. Guess what: they also have a division that creates screens.

Yep. https://store.steampowered.com/app/6010/Indiana_Jones_and_the_Fate_of_Atlantis/

The ScummVM talkie version is better, but I just couldn’t pass purchasing also this one… 😅

Little Big Adventure

First thing that popped into my mind too. Monkey Island, Loom, Zac McKraken, and all the other LucasFilms (but even after they rebranded as LucasArts) too.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis is still my favorite point and click adventure. Purchased it three times too: on floppies when it came out, the enhanced *talkie *edition on CD, and then on Steam when it came out.

Parks and Recreation. Season 2, episode 5.

Did you also know that water is wet?

You can still do those in PowerShell. Just saying.

I know, that’s why I wrote external peripherals and not external inputs. I don’t want to sound cocky or be an asshole (we all know how easy it is by just reading a message someone you don’t know wrote), but after 24 years of being in system administration/engineering/architecture I may have sufficient grasp of what I am talking about. 😅

I would guess by plugging external peripherals to the motherboard.

My (very) old Vaio from 2013 just had a disk change with an SSD and is now a fantastic domain controller.
