There are expansions for Synology: https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/accessories?tab=nas&category=expansion_units

Probably most important is the 5-drive DX517 that will definitely work with your 1821+ https://www.synology.com/en-us/products/DX517#specs

Prebuilt - Atreus from keyboard.io

Coleman-DH: just take the plunge

Unraid as I understand it will do that

As someone who is not a former sysadmin and only vaguely familiar with *nix, I’ve been able to turn my home NAS (bought strictly to hold photos and videos backed up from our phones) into a home media sever by installing Docker, learning how the yml files work, how containers network, etc, and it’s been awesome.

Instead of two thumbs covering only one giant key (space), you give each thumb 2-3 keys. And 1-2 of those are to shift layers, so it becomes pretty natural once you get over a learning curve.

Layers. Think of Shift key as turning on the CAPS layer, and Ctrl turning on the cut/copy/paste/save/new layer. Add more combos a layer keys, and every key ends up having 3-5 combinations that can replicate an entire keyboard.

I swapped to an Atreus and Coleman-DH. It is a huge learning curve. Stick with it, though; it has been worth it if only for the crazy mental flexing.

If I’m understanding this correctly, this (plus some other stuff I probably don’t have setup, like traefik) would publish to a local-DNS-like entity so that I could go to sonarr.local and jellyfin.local instead of my current way of memorizing/ bookmarking all the various addresses in the form of server_ip:port# ?

I love this entire thing. Your story of how you landed on Piantor is so close to my story (including Moonlander, Colemak-DH, and not wanting a ricer!) except to the point where I bit the bullet and bought a keyboard.io Atreus. But now I want to have an ergo split without spending another $250ish and I’m stuck in analysis paralysis, that I am going to follow your footsteps and build a Piantor as well.

If you don’t mind me asking, how much did you end up spending to finish that one? Was the actual soldering difficult at all?
