Hi all, since ya’ll are self hosters, I’m sure you all deal with all sorts of different pieces of hardware, accessories, peripherals, and what not; just wondering if you could please share your favorite, solid, “go to” brands for overall things you need for your setup such as cables (all types), adapters, dongles, power accessories, hubs & docks, flash drives, you name it! I’m sure it varies depending on exactly what type of equipment you’re looking for but just looking for overall good brands to stick with for such things. I obviously know the main ones like Anker, Cable Matters, Ugreen, maybe Belkin, Idk. Would love to hear your recommendations! Thank you

    That’s an interesting approach, but I don’t think I really have any equipment that would need an actual power brick lol who knows? I only have a laptop, cell phone, printer, and a few streaming devices on my network. None are very power intensive really. Unless Im totally misunderstanding your approach?

      Your laptop doesn’t have a power brick?

      I traveled last week with my personal and work laptops and phones and only had to bring a single wall wart and usb-c cable to charge everything. That’s my primary use case.
