Yeah, the typical uninformed FUD with anecdotes of btrfs failing them 15 years ago when they did something that was explicitly marked as experimental 🤦
For every person that complains about btrfs, there are 10 that have been using it since many years with absolutely no issues what so ever.
That depends on the usage, see: https://www.xda-developers.com/smr-hdds-are-fine-for-your-nas-until-you-try-to-resilver/
If you keep this issue in mind and avoid resilvering / balancing they can work just fine in a media storage NAS.
They use a lot less power too. For small home NAS they are really an often overlooked option.

Yeah, but it doesn’t answer my specific questions regarding OpenGL games on OpenGL ES only hardware, which is a common issue on ARM boards.
So Fex is passing through OpenGL calls as well, but most ARM gpus only support OpenGL ES, so I wonder if there is another layer for that, like Zink or so. Has anyone here better insight into that?
If you have a Wi-Fi router in your home you are technically already running a server. With OpenWRT even quite practically, although sadly most routers are slighly too underpowered to do much with them.
Taler isn’s a currency but a payment system. So yes, each token generating entity (exchange) would have their own token. There could be some sort of backend settling mechanism between exchanges (I think Taler is working on that), but basically the person receiving the token would have to redeem it with the same exchange that issued it. Legally it can’t be directly exchanged back to fiat money, but the exchange could issue a service contract with the person and pay them according to the tokens they hold.
There is no need for a central org. It could be many different ones all using the same Taler software. In fact given the legal limitations that’s probably the only way to do it.
Such a system could be easily set up with GNU Taler. I have been thinking about something like that for a while, and the main issue is the legal regulations for the organization that receives the real money. If you are not registered as a bank it is severely restricted where and how you can operate. The laws in Europe are basically ok if you want to have some temporary cashless payment system in a music festival or so, but something permanent and with more money involved is hard to do under the current rules.
Such a system could be set up relatively easily with GNU Taler. The problem is rather on the legal side for the organization that holds the funds and converts it to the tokens. Unless you are registered as a bank there are severe limitations on how much money you can hold and covert.
The Intel Core i7 2600K will be fast enough for most regular things, but it is quite power hungry, so not so great on your power bill. Also the Intel Quicksync in it is old and thus not very helpful for hardware transcoding videos in Jellyfin, meaning you would need to do most of that on the CPU, which is much slower.
24GB RAM is definitely sufficient for most things and the SSD storage as well, although you might want to add some redundancy to that at some point.
The Geforce is pretty useless for server tasks and the NVenc chip in it is also pretty old, so I would just remove it, or maybe ask the seller to remove it and sell separately.
As a start it is probably over-powered, but the price seems reasonable.
Sub 1000€, so probably 999€.
Nice work. Redoing all the above wall piping must have been a pain.
Linking this with some sound modem to transmit text data, ideally with some automatic repetition to remove errors, will probably be much nicer to communicate with. But cool concept overall.
OnlyOffice doesn’t have “Impress”. I think you are confusing that with LibreOffice or Collabora Office.
I think OnlyOffice supports that. There is an extension for that for Nextcloud.
Leaving RAM cache to be managed by the kernel has some benefits, especially on low end devices, which is what the article talks about.
