First time downloading torrents on Starlink...
The base model Synology NAS, like the DS220J, is infamous for having too little cpu and memory. It will advertise being able to run several apps that will in reality grind the system to a near halt with idle cpu usage at or near 100%. Those tend to get used by some enthusiastic new homelab users who

Oma Nas palvelin
Oma Synology DiskStation DS220j on toiminut hyvin, vaikka oma käyttö rajoittuukin varmuuskopioihin ja tiedostojen säilömiseen. Tosin synologia en varmaankaan osta jatkossa eikä monikaan tykkää kun yritti rajoittaa kovalevy yhteensopivuuksia jokunaikaa sitten.

DicoverLastFM - Automatic music discovery for Plex using Last.fm data
Hey, glad you like it! Yeah exactly, you'll need Headphones first. It's the missing piece that actually downloads the music. Your Synology + Plex setup is perfect, and the DS220j should handle it fine. I'm running everything on a DS218+ so you've got plenty of resources. The flow is: DiscoveryLastFM

First homelab/NAS build — single server vs separate NAS? (beginner, future-proof)
i started with combined and honestly it's the right move for learning. proxmox with truenas in a vm works fine - just pass through the sata controller. for hardware in india, check used optiplex micro or hp elite desk on olx - an i5 8th gen with 32gb ram and 2x 4tb drives will run jellyfin and those

Kućni NAS cloud/storage/server?
Simple... Synology DS220J (pristupačan, support dva diska itd..). Stvar je jednostavna i super, zašto? -Imaš opciju synca izmedju dva diska (napravi schedule, da ti ne drndaju stalno oba diska). Jedan ti radi stalno, drugi po potrebi (produžiš mu život) ili koristiš jedan za privatne stvari drugi za

NAS importado?
Bem, eu tenho um DS220j, creio que qualquer um acima deste seja muito bom, o meu é de entrada. E sim é verdade, você não consegue trocar o OS, mas tem docker, etc, dá para fazer estrago.Eu tenho um servidor paulada com o Unraid e um Synology.O Unraid me dá um bilhão de trabalhos enquanto o Synology,

Personal Experience coming from Synology?
You're moving to a (relatively) less mature product vs Synology. The ecosystem, app market, and DSM have been around for a looong time and have many apps. UGreen, not so much. The first difference from lower-end Synology models is that UGreen models have an internal eMMC system drive whereas Synolog

Low cost backup strategy options ?
i setup something similar last year. that 2018 mac mini with 32gb ram would make a solid network time machine server for all three macs. just connect a couple external drives to it and share them over the network. the 2012 is probably worth selling while it still works. for the drives i have been us

Looking for NAS Recommendations
Based on your description and my experience: Don’t bother with BSD based software because it just adds overhead since Linux will be a VM. So maybe OVM but not TrueNAS for instance. Zima is limited to Zima. In fact when I bought a new box I first used OpenWRT which does everything with a Synology-lik
