It really depends on how much you value your time and how good you are with configuration
A QNAP or Synology will work and be pretty simple to configure out of the box. Installing custom software is possible, but can be tricky as they require you to enable sideloading and custom apps can be hard to find. Both have supported app stores with available apps to do what you’re looking for (QNAP has apps for both torrents and Plex. Not sure about Synology)
However, you will get way more bang for your buck by building one from scratch using something like TrueNAS and the Arr stack, but this can require a fair bit of technical knowledge about configuring containers and securing network services(Especially if you want them to be accessible remotely)
Most people here do selfhosting as a hobby and as a result, the time spent trying new configurations is negligible as it wouldn’t be much of a hobby otherwise.
Godort@lemm.eeto Technology@lemmy.world•Kids Online Safety Act(KOSA) is back; Apple endorse it.English45·2 months agoAs with most things of this nature, it’s presented in a way that makes it difficult to argue against, but the evil will come with how it is enforced.
Basically everyone agrees that harmful content should be harder for children to access, and reigning in social media’s exploitation of psychology is laudable.
Right now, there isn’t a good way to control access without handing a ton of personal information to a 3rd party agency with questionable oversight. When you want to access porn in meatspace, you share your name and age with the store clerk, who will promptly forget it. The system doesn’t translate to a digital medium with permanent records.

At the end of the interview when they ask “do you have any other questions for us”, if it went well and you decide that you want to work there, ask about what your first day looks like compared to an average day after you’re settled in.
This can be a little social engineering push to have your interviewer shift their perception of you into someone that is already hired.
Godort@lemm.eeto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•I wonder what the specs are on the technology that disables shopping cart wheels10·2 months agoIm not sure exactly how the system works, but if I were designing one, there would be 3 approaches I can think of.
The first is to equip the lock with a GPS system and dictate that it locks if it’s not within range of a particular location. This one would be the most expensive to implement, but should come with minimal opportunity for messing with it.
Next down the list is each lock is equipped with a radio to connect to a wifi or sub-GHz broadcaster, and as soon as it misses enough heartbeats to a central control point, it locks the wheels. This could be disrupted by jamming the signal, but jammers of this type are highly illegal, and easily trackable.
Last is the cheapest option, which is to include an RFID module tied to the lock and a system to broadcast a signal at the perimeter. If a cart comes within range for a long enough period then the RFID tag is activated and the wheels lock.
I suspect it’s probably a sub-GHz radio situation, with the broadcast power tuned to be within a few hundred meters of the store. If you had some kind of SDR you could probably pinpoint the signal they use and repeat it, letting you wheel a cart outside the zone, but as soon as you stop the signal the wheels will lock.
Godort@lemm.eeto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why does it seem like so many (young) men these days flock over to types like Andrew Tate?1031·3 months agoThis is the short of it. Tate explains in no uncertain terms that society is to blame for the insecurities they feel, and provides an easy answer on how to fix it that kind of works, because it emulates self-confidence.
Godort@lemm.eeto Games@sh.itjust.works•What game(s) would you use to introduce someone to WASD/Mouse controls?English14·3 months agoThis is probably the best choice. There is basically no failure state, so there is no impetus to act under pressure, which is probably the biggest demotivator if someone is at that stage of learning how to play video games.

If I pay for everything with a debit card it doesn’t count as real money because it’s just a number on a screen and therefore doesn’t exist.

A Gillette open comb safety razor from the 1930s. But it’s had the handle replaced with a Gillette tech handle from the 40s.
In an image search, I found someone selling the exact same Frankenrazor which leads me to believe this may have been a popular mod back in the day.
