At what point do you stop backing up data?
Get a Synology NAS and some cheap storage, and backup via that.

PSA: The UNAS 2's "2.5GbE" NIC is a USB-attached Realtek running a 3-year-old driver, and mine just stopped negotiating gigabit
You genuinely might want to avoid Synology as well, UGreen would be my recommendation. Synology reversed their ban of third party HDD/SSD drives recently (M.2 drives are still banned) except the language they used in the press release implies they're DEFINITELY going to try again in the future.

Why go with a mini PC with all my containers + NAS for file storage instead of running it all on a NAS since newer NAS can run everything just as well as a mini PC?
Probably depends on your usage but I run everything on a Synology NAS perfectly fine. DSM is amazing and everything just works. Mine has two M.2 slots and expandable RAM. No proprietary parts needed.

Plex remote getting "Connection to the server isn't fast enough" message, but Tautulli shows it direct playing
I'll have to look into that more. My Plex server is on a Synology NAS and there doesn't seem to be a natively supported app for something like that, so it's not quite as straightforward as it would be for me to install on a Windows PC.

Yep. I've backed up a bunch of Macs over the network with Time Machine to various Synology NASs for years and it's great. It happens automatically whenever the Mac is on the same WiFi network, so you don't even have to think about it. A permanently-connected hard drive would be the same.

Where to storage both Zotero files and Obsidian vaults for free?
I have an synology Nas and use webdav to sync. Works like a charm.

Gluetun + qBittorrent + Arr stack on Synology NAS won't start reliably after reboot
Real solution - sell the synology and replace it with a custom nas / server to do all of this properly =) I kid, but really you could just run a version of qbittorent with the vpn builtin and skip Gluetun entirely...

Backing up to synology NAS
I just use their Synology Drive app and it works great for me. It's on the AUR.
