ZimaBoard maker Icewhale is splitting its ZimaOS network-attached storage operating system into free and paid tiers. Community Edition limits you to 10 apps, 4 disks, and 3 users. To unlock those you need to pay $29 for a lifetime ZimaOS Plus license. https://www.zimaspace.com/zimaos #NAS #Icewhale #ZimaOS #ZimaBoard

Hello #AskFedi 👋

I'm looking to purchase my first #NAS. The internet is recommending a Synology DS225+ but I'm also reading that they force you to buy #Synology drives and I'm not sure the lock-in is a positive sign?

So what other brands should I be looking for? I basically want to run my #Jellyfin server on it so the whole family can stream audio and video to our #Android + #iOS devices and listen to some banging tunes on the #Sonos speaker at home.

Got a recommendation? Shoot! 💥🔫

Furries and Gentlegeeks, stop what you’re doing. Reddit pointed out the holly reason for 3D printers to exist: The 6-bays ThinkNAS

TrueNAS is an operating system designed for network-attached storage devices, but it only officially supports systems with x86_64 processors. Unofficially though, there's a new 64-bit ARM port that works on a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5. #TrueNAS#NAS#ARM#RaspberryPihttps://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2025/truenas-on-arm-finally-thing

So among the various things i #selfhost is my NAS. It's just a desktop that I installed a nice disk controler and some 12K SAS drives and #TrueNAS. But it lives, like a lot of my kit, in the garage. And it's hot in the garage tonight. Ambient air temp is like 82F/28C at 23:00 at night.

Most of the time it's fine. CPUs tend to run around 45C just doin normal stuff. But when I do an scp of a film I've digitized on my laptop, it goes over gigabit ethernet and that seems to warm up the CPUs. For the whole like 45-90 seconds the scp is running, the cores get super hot. Then it calms down.

#selfhosting #nas

A graph labeled "CPU Overview". There's ring graph like a speedometer saying "3% average usage" which suggests I'm only using about 3 percent of my CPUs' capabilities. But it also says Hottest 94 degrees (this is celsius). So the thermal readings on one of my cores is basically 94 degrees.

In this post I list the things I pay attention to when self-hosting, why I self-host, and why I don't host services for others in my free time

@thibaultamartin I'm most probably much less skilled than you are, and I can already say that my first #selfhosted deployments on a #raspberrypi and a #VPS were already too much. Resilience and scalability are sooo underrated!

I just gave up on the VPS and the #pihole

I'm even considering to move away from my #synology#NAS and use a "clean" cloud service. Drive, photos backup, contacts/calendar/tasks (but my mail being on #mailfence, I could already have those 3 on my current subscription).

I would be grateful to hear your suggestions about that live, and about decent service that could help me.

Thanks for the great articles!

Just saw someone whose Google account was shuttered. They’d been… using Sheets to track movies they’d watched.

A question people should ask themselves, but rarely do: What would you do if, tomorrow, Google, Apple, Microsoft, Dropbox, and every other cloud provider you use closed your account without warning? Then maybe spend some of today safeguarding against that eventuality.

@craiggrannell I went with a #Synology#NAS. Has a "Dropbox" like functionality. And it also has a Google Suite like app that you can install. But, I mostly use @libreoffice for my those things.

My data. My rules.

Synology recently announced that some of its network-attached storage (NAS) require Synology-branded storage for full functionality. Now the company has begun selling a line of wildly overpriced SSDs. https://www.tomshardware.com/pc-components/ssds/synology-starts-selling-overpriced-1-6-tb-ssds-for-usd535-self-branded-archaic-pcie-3-0-ssds-the-only-option-to-meet-certified-criteria#Synology#Storage#SSD#NAS
