Definitely a good idea, a NAS is extremely useful for tons of stuff.

I HIGHLY recommend go as far up as you can as this is a LONG TERM purchase. Dont wanna be that guy that skimps out on it just to find it was much more useful than you expected and needing an upgraded a year later.
I almost fell into this as I thought I was only gonna use it for storage and damn I was wrong about that for sure.

What’s your estimate of monthly energy consumption?

Using my drives and calculating their max power output AND an overestimation of around 10W, it is around 65W (0.23 usd/24 hours). Certainly a ton lower than an actual PC.

Great writeup man, appreciate the time you took to do this for the community…especially for those of us that are planning to set up our own NAS!

Too late, i’ve got a 4-bay rpi4 setup sitting in the shelf already. Bought it a couple years ago, just never got around to setting it up 
Yeah damn, 50 containers. And you’re using a lot more ram than I would have guessed.

That is fine for storage and Navidrome only.
Can always use it as a backup NAS at home or even put it in some other place if you have access.
Oh yeah, that was a rabbit hole I fell into for sure.

One I’ve been a lifetime member of Plex since somewhere around 2014-2015. Two almost all the opensource apps that really automate the acquisition and curation of the media are only available for Plex. If Plex ever goes rogue with their current business model I have the Jellyfin appdata saved to spin right back up. As it is right now though third party apps paired with Plex have my library and curation 99% automated. I may only manually have to add media once every three months and it’s usually something super obscure.

Oh boi, you sure got a beast there.
Any reason you are using plex instead of jellyfin? Plex needs a subsription afaik, Jellyfin is free.
I havent really used this too much tbh, I just have an automation where it saves any receipts coming to my mail.
I did check the music and anime focused ones but I found that I wasnt a fan of it. Im sticking with using RSS built into Qbittorrent for anime while doing things manually with music (Nicotine+ is great for music btw).

Upvote for Nicotine+!

aa ok I get it then.
Personally I just check in manually when a new anime season is out for my RSS to automate the rest afterwards.

Lancer 3 has been released!
W-shaped: Upgraded Lancer 1 with a bit more mid-bass and a smoother treble. Well extended treble that is very airy but still smooth, lots of female vocals alongside male vocals with a linear bass shelf, balanced tuning closest to Harman 2019v2 in Gen 3

Ahhhh god dammit… I haven’t grabbed my Lancers is a little while, I can’t deal with the MX500 shell anymore. I assume these have the updated shell design, right, Riku?

Of course these use the RG39-1 shells like the rest of gen 3 are/will. (casters are the only ones using the RG39-SE which is a smaller version with 14.8mm drivers instead of 15.4mm.)

I can’t say I’m not tempted… what’s the price on those bad boys?
