Agreed. He's very monotone and I don't think his mic is very good. I like the content, not trying to tear someone down but he's not a small channel anymore. Wish the production value was a bit higher to engage us more. I want to watch every video but I only watch the ones that I really want to know more about, for this reason.

I have other financial priorities at the moment so most streaming services are a want and not a need even if I love watching sports. The price is not low enough to buy it because I enjoy it and can justify it. Maybe I'll budget for it next year.
Baseball was the same way but luckily YES network did streaming for baseball and I was able to watch the games at a price I felt was reasonable. Also I only subscribed for the season, well technically not the whole season because the Yankees were killing me. That's part of the deal only streaming 1 team. I couldn't watch any other team so why stay subbed?
I was subscribed to paramount+ for Star Trek, and occasionally I'd pause to catch Easter eggs or read something on the screen, get a better look at a ship, etc - but all I could see was a shirtless man selling me old spice. It was actually really frustrating.
How do I stop someone from stealing it? I'm for it but I live in suburbia and the stores don't have bike racks for anything other than a parking lot. It's not a "bad" area but it has people. A $500 bike is one thing but a $1500 bike is another.
I don't think there is any secure bike parking as mentioned in the article and I'm not talking daily commute to work. If anyone has any tips I'm open to ideas.
P6P is a solid phone and I've had great luck with it. I haven't maxed anything out so wondering why I should get a faster chip with more memory so I can take photos of my dog and message my friends. Google Fi is doing just $400 off a 8P which I may take because I don't want their watch or buds. I'm not sure what I'll do.
Only politically convenient ones that could "help him" because they have some sort of power.
It's a show to make it seem like he's not the problem.
Pixel pass is the most recent service they've cancelled on me, my movies I bought on Google TV after being moved to YouTube but that service is gone too.
Their assistant devices have slowly gone crazy and barely understand anything and half the features for them have been removed for one reason or another.
Also the transition from the Nest app for my cameras which was amazing to the shitty Google home app which had half the features and didn't work with all my cameras so I had half on nest and half on Google home.
Also their WiFi app is now also in Google home and it has less features than the original stand alone. So it's not all free services, it's things I've paid for and been burned over and over again.
I had a lot of their stuff over the years and it's always great at first until... it's not.
The DAS seems limiting because it's USB. I'm limited on speed, and configuration. It works fine for what it is but it's basically just a giant USB drive.
I purchased the TR004 because it was cheap and I needed storage. I don't know what I would have done differently but I feel as though I'm limited by this device instead of enhanced.
A normal HBA/Controller with attached drives in a server would be my ideal I guess. Not possible at this time so I'm working with what I have!
I did that with this giant server I have, but I hate running that thing. This computer I'm using now is honestly a pretty small, proprietary computer and it has no extra headers, it's pretty packed inside. I will be testing unraid after i'm done with OMV. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
Having a normal HBA would have made my choices a lot easier. Dealing with the DAS complicated it but everyone was pretty helpeful so I think I'm on the right track now.
"why fix what isn't broken?" are words to live by and if I were a smarter man I'd listen.
I'm joking, kind of, I think we all have to fight off that "grass is always greener on the other side" type of thinking because my life would be better if i just had...or if i just did...or if i only changed...and then i'm back on selfhosted asking for advice again.
The data import will be a challenge all on it's own. I'll end up probably splitting the data onto a drobo nas and some 4tb hdd's I have laying around to give myself some redundancy. Bring the DAS online, format it with the new file format whatever that may be, and reimport the data. PITA but doable.
It's part of the reason I'm asking because as my data grows, this import process is going to be the most difficult part so I'd like to lock something in for a while.
I am interested in home assistant too so your experience is valuable. Thanks!
I'm using Open Media Server on a PC. Docker for Plex and a DAS for data storage. It isn't simple but it's not hard and it's been stable and easy to use after you figure out setup and get used to where things are in menus. It's basically a nas with docker albeit a little slower because it's USB storage.
