I’ve been a fan of git-flow for a long time. It makes the master consistently stable and production ready, gives mechanisms for hotfixing, patching, releasing, tagging, and regular feature dev with a running develop branch. This tends to be more stable than Wild West commits into dev direct, since you work on a feature in isolation, and then merge the feature in when it’s ready, and keeps prod in its own lane so there’s no risk of a feature accidentally nuking something.
Are you west coast? Somewhere else?
Well this convinced me to give it a try! It’s nice to hear about developers not treating their audience like bad guys. Just bought it!
I use https://znote.io, but there are other similar apps, not all free that do the same. Folders + tagging is super useful
You cant re-use an old connector, you’ll have to crimp on a new one. It may or may not be worth buying the tool/ends depending on the length of the cable.
You can buy a cable crimper and a bag of the ends on Amazon, prob for $20-$40, but if it’s just one small patch cable you’re trying to fix, you can probably buy that for $5.
I ran Ethernet through my whole house and outside for cameras, so it was worth it to me to buy the tools and spools of cable.
Plex upgrades on my nas via docker are so easy, it’s just a container restart. I’d go docker.

Synology- Synology 8 Bay NAS Diskstation… https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KMKDW42?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I have 3 - but I get that runtime out of one of them. Depends on load, but idle the nas doesn’t draw too much.
Well I did buy the last one a couple years ago so that tracks. CCC is absolutely the way to go though, it’s a must. I think I also grabbed one at Costco <$200 at one point.
I have a few cyber power 1000W/1500 VA units. They go on sale for under $150 now and then. Best price/power ratio I’ve found. The battery in one has lasted at least 6 years, other is going strong for at least 2. They’re big enough to power my 8 bay NAS for a couple hours. I don’t recommend DYI for a UPS, too unreliable.
I’m still a fan of synology because it does a lot of what you want out of the box without you needing to constantly manage and setup all these services from scratch. I’ve upgraded through several synology units over the years, currently using a 6TBx8 unit for much of what you mention. Since drives are so big these days, you could get a newer 4bay with more horsepower and just drop a couple 20TB drives in it as a mirrored pair then in the future add more drives as needed. Dropping to 2 drives cuts your power consumption a bit, and staying with a 4 bay instead of something bigger will also keep the power down.
You can absolutely build your own, but synology comes with all the “home cloud” apps preconfigured and your time and effort is worth something too. I build enterprise cloud environments for a living and I don’t want to have to do that at home on my free time- synology is so plug’n’play.
I also recommend a static site builder- you dont have to fuss with database or security, you can host with a simple http server, and it’s easy to work with. Hugo, Jekyll, etc
That is true, but keep in mind that it’s home to 131 people. That density number makes it sound like thousands but it’s just that the island is very small.
Nice about the NIC- I’m still on gigabit in the house which is fine- 100ish MBps is fast enough that copying a movie or something is still just a minute or two, but my NAS supports a 10Gb expansion card- I might upgrade one day. I don’t know how much speed I get get through my CAT 6- I haven’t tested above gigabit speeds. Really though I don’t need my LAN to be substantially faster than my internet, so gigabit is fine for the next few years I think.
Is this cable service? Cable often shares capacity with people on your “block” so when everyone is uploading, your upload suffers. I had real trouble with cable a few years ago where intermittently my upload would throttle so hard that tcp acks would fail to send and my download would tank too. FIOS was the best thing that every happened to my internet!
Now, that said, there are ways to game those things too, but that’s the concept and some of the bigger benefits.
Yeah they’re similar in several ways
