  • Perhaps this idea is way way overkill and a going to a consistent headache. I am trying to simplify between devices and data. This idea is looking like a labor of love and I’m more into using the tools for what they are rather than always tinkering and working. I’m at the age where shit just needs to work. Some sort of remote desktop, or NAS or a combo might be the better easier route.



  • SSDs for fast transfers, and then maybe use HDDs for large slow stuff? I’m afraid transferring things are too slow on a HDD but I’ve never used a NAS. So I’m unsure of what determines transfer speeds I mean network speed has to play a role but read and write speed as well. I’ve had HDDs in several PCs and their just ungodly slow to do file transfers and game on but large sizes are cheaper. So I was asking essentially which storage type is best for fast NAS speeds? And what is a good setup to start with as far as software and hardware?



  • Do you know of a way to make it less laggy and more responsive? Working remotely sucks atleast with my past experiences. Otherwise I love the idea. I think it my best easier to setup a NAS and just deal with a little hassle transferring files back and forth. I’m super aggravated dealing with 10 devices everyday I’m trying to simplify everything possible.






  • The immutable distro is nice which I started putting /home in a separate parrition as a start and syncing across devices. I’m working on setting up a NAS now to make the process more longerterm friendly. By working I mean aquiring drives for storage currently have about 6tb. I just didn’t fully know the process and what it entails for software besides Tailscale. I’ve self hosted servers for games and some minor stuff. I was thinking about using synology but their hardware is wildly expensive. I really only need the drivebay and I can connect it to my server PC. Ill do a deeper dive after work.
