  • Yeah, it felt like a bit of a dumb suggestion for someone in your position. Might work for someone with a less…robust level of need? Works for me with a QNAP QSW-2104-2T (this doesn’t meet your criteria fwiw, unmanaged, not sfp+ but there is an sfp+ version that’s still unmanaged) does that really matter if you have a pfsense box?

    Edit: QSW-2104-2S is the double sfp+ version.






  • Couple of points: Nurses get put upon. Will you leave on the dot at 1700? There are nursing jobs where you hand off to the next person on duty ie staff nurse, so when you go home you don’t have to worry about anything, but most of the 9-5 jobs the job has defined responsibilities. Even if one is off the clock there are still thoughts running around inside your head. It takes a bit of skill to be able to put them aside every day.

    It’s really hard to fit everything you need to do at the weekend on a 9-5 compared to the flexibility of shifts. You have to be rigorous in terms of doing personal work in the evening after the job has finished.

    Tbh have to look at career progression as well. Its not a straightforward choice.




  • TrueNAS scale, LIS HBA cards, server motherboards with plenty of PCI Lanes ie AMD EPYC, large capacity HDD, just make sure they are CMR and not SMR drives. And Raidz2 is your friend. You will not need 40 drives, frankly you will fit 10,000 films, mostly 4K and 1000 complete TV series on a single 12 drive wide Raidz2 vDev using 20TB drives. That’s enough to last 50 years in terms of viewing time.






  • Offering my experience as an example: I’m a software moron (fine at building a pc, crap at using it) and TrueNas Scale was simple to install and then access on mobile, tablet and via windows PC, at least as simple network attached storage.

    When I tried to use it to just jellyfin I hit a brick wall, completely unable to understand how to use the shared datasets.

    But as NAS it’s simple with a bookmark to manage.
