One-to-one mirror for every drive might be excessive… just a 1 or two drive parity system should be fine for most home use cases.
You should have e a backup after all

Oh sorry, must have missed that part.


Was it you that I have asked if you were the same Dark Alex from the PSP custom firmware scene?
For me that was literally the first unsponsored Amazon find for the term “router UPS”
Search for “router UPS”
For example there is one from APC “# APC Back-UPS Connect 12V DC 36W - CP12036LI”
Sounds interesting, do you share the project progress somewhere?


+1 on the zfs replication. That’s what I use as well with a 3 node cluster. Gives redundancy and high availability without building a ceph cluster (which needs 4 nodes if I remember correctly)


No you are right, the m720q will fit an 2.5” and also m.2 drives.
Sorry, what I meant is that they will not fit 3,5” hdds, let alone multiple ones.


12th Gen is definitively neat, but overkill for what you are doing. 8th or 9th gen is fine. 16gigs is fine, 8gig would also work
I really like the Lenovo m720q line of mini pcs (used/refurb) but they will not fit an hdd.
/edit: I mean an 3,5” HDD. They will fit one 2,5” HDD fine.


It will still sync to all devices. And if you have an always on vpn to your home network, there really is no need to expose it to the public
I didn’t know about libro.fm, I will check it out, thanks! It looks like it is international and should also work for German audiobooks?
Isn’t there enough of those in the custom keyboard world? It is only a macro pad…

What does that have to do with self hosting?


Is it opensource? Do you have a GitHub / codeberg/ whatever repo?
Have you heard of bentopdf? How is it different?
When a drive has bad sectors, the rest of the drive will likely also be near EOL…
Here is a quite complete list of these mini pcs with their differences


Jellyfin also „just works“. Getting it going is just as simple as plex.
Have you tried Jellyfin?
