Hopefully they don’t go out of their way to try to lock you into using their VTT. I’m not a fan of Roll20 myself but as long as they let Demiplane be themselves and keep it mostly open for third party plugins to do their thing, we should be alright in the long run.
Another vote for Porkbun here. I switched after Google Domains shared they were selling off to Squarespace. It’s been a lovely experience and their website just seems more human than the other big players. Cloudflare isn’t a terrible alternative option as long as you’ll be using their DNS.
It’s too early to know how exactly it’ll be implemented, but I’d bet there would likely be a toggle/setting to turn on at the very least. I’m sure the upgrade instructions will be early laid out how to enable it.
Yes, the seller was Topton Computer Store. No complaints from me on the purchase/process!
I use a similar one of these (different io panel and case) for OPNSense and it’s been a delight. Not sure how well it would handle Plex but if you don’t need to transcode the files it should be fine. I bought one without ram, os, and storage for $150 last year. That listing isn’t available anymore.
Maybe look at Astro and develop a lightweight blog post admin panel to create, edit, and delete posts. Should be relatively easy and you should be able to render out a static site from it each time you need to update it.
