@kbin.socialI have a synology NAS where I backup my photos to. What would be the most cost effective way to encrypt and back up this data without having to purchase another NAS and install it at a family member's house. It would be about 5 TB and would not touch the data unless my NAS completely takes a crap.

I'm hoping to find a build list for a general home server/NAS. The goal is to have a server capable of running 2-3 VMs along with a handful of containers, act as a Plex server, and act as a NAS for media storage.
The VMs will be game servers so probably on the beefy side. Plex will need to transcode but never likely more than 3-4 simultaneous streams at most.
Budget isn't too important within reason, my general preference is to go bigger than needed to future proof myself a little and give a cushion for changing needs. I'd like to keep the build < $3000 if possible.
I have no preference on specific hardware or OS so long as the end product can perform well and meet my needs. I'm also not opposed to buying something premade if there something out there that might fit the bill.
Really appreciate any insight, thanks!
EDIT: Should add I'm also not super concerned about noise, this will be located in an out of the way closet so it shouldn't be an issue.
Hello, I'm trying to host my own kbin instance. Mainly for fun and to see if it will work but also because that kind of is the point of federation.
I managed to get it up and running and I can search for other magazines and they turn up in the search but are completely empty and do not fill up with content after some hours. Also wenn I click subscribe I get an error 500. I followed the admin guide and I think the problem is my reverse proxy but I don't know how to get around it. Does anyone have experience or maybe knows some place where I can direct some questions?
Thanks!
Apologies if I'm off base here, but I have two issues I'm trying to solve and unsure where I should start - whether these are two separate issues to solve or if I should get something that can do both.

About me:
I'm tech literate enough to Google things and copy/paste or troubleshoot based on what worked for others, but I'd like to avoid having to learn to code or run command lines. I have young kids and don't really want to have to spend a whole lot of time on this to get it to work or walk my spouse through how to use it.
Options considered:
1a) a Synology product seems like the lowest barrier to entry, but the risk seems to be less ability to fix and potentially more risk of unrecoverable data (GN did videos about this). 1b) multiple hard drives on a PC - works but would suck if my PC fries. 1c) multiple external drives - seems wonky and easier for something to fail. 1d) all of the above and hope it somehow works.
2a) Eufy looked like a good option (local storage and push notifications), until the recent scandal. I am not interested in having pics of little girls on a server somewhere, even if it is only outside pictures. 2b) a wired camera connection - however I'm not going to know if anyone is doing something sketchy unless I know to review the footage. 2c) Synology has an option - however there are the issues mentioned above and I'd also need to drop $400 for the cameras, $200 for the station, and a couple hundred for the drives. 2d) make my own mini comp - however more likely for wonky stuff and higher power draw over the long term.
Any suggestions on where to go from here?
Depending on how much you self host, you may find it hard to keep track of your devices' host names. So what are your naming conventions to keep track everything? Some people stick to descriptive names, others pick themes, like Greek mythology.
Personally, I use Japanese emperors. I've made it all the way to Seinei. Luckily I still have some breathing room to add more services and servers. Much to my wife's chagrin. :)
What is the service you are hosting, which in your opinion is underrated?
I'm trying to find new tools to add to my lab. Enlighten us!
Ps: I'm aiming for unknown tools, so Pihole etc. are out ;)
HOW MUCH: $100
CONDITION: Excellent – all antennas and ports work, perfect cosmetic condition, inc. original power adapter
WHERE: United States
SHIPPING: Free in the continental US
WHY: Nice device, but doesn't fit my needs as well as I'd hoped.

Community newb here: Is it acceptable to post personal for-sale items here? Or is that considered spam? I am retiring a nice Wi-Fi router and would like to find it a new home instead of making more electronic waste. And this seems like a community where someone might want it.
Thanks!
