  • Lots of good suggestions here

    I’m a bit surprised by your budget. For something just running plex and next cloud, you shouldn’t need a 6 or even 3k system. I run my server on found parts, adding up to just $600-$700 dollars including (used) SAS drives. It runs probably a dozen docker containers, a dns server, and homeassistant. I don’t even remember what cpu I have because it was such a small consideration when I was finding parts.

    I’d recommend keeping g your synology as a simple Nas (maybe next cloud too, depending on how you’re using it) and then get a second box with whatever you need for plex. Unless you’re transcoding multiple 4k videos at once, your cpu/GPU really don’t need much power. I don’t even have a dedicated GPU in mine, but I’m basically unable to do live 4k transcodes (this is fine for me)

    “i feel like you’re being combative, you’re not engaging with what I’m saying. Makes me think you’re just here to be an asshole”

    [Doesn’t engage the content, lobs insults, ‘he did it first’]

    “I can see why you might have been banned”

    “What do you mean I’m being totally reasonable?!”


    There’s something about this format that just feels good, ya know? Like I’m invisible to criticism. I wonder why more people don’t use it
