Family and some friends from back in my days in the military. Those guys are who I keep an eye on, because they don’t use it as frequently as my family.

I use it to track users use/watch habits, to restrict their access if need be. Every user with a password that may or may not be strong is a weak point in my network security.

The other partner in FUTO is Louis Rossman. Maybe one cancels out the other?

I’ve built every NAS/home server I’ve ever had. There’s lots of options out there for the case as well. You could take an SFF Mini ITX case with a single 5 1/4" drive bay and put an icy dock 8 x 2.5" SATA backplane in it. Don’t know if icy dock (brand) is widely available in Europe…

Just pointing out that if you imagine it (form factor with 8 hot swappable drives) there’s probably a solution to build it from scratch.

More than likely. Since the description clearly states “8x3.5 HDD Hot-Swap drive bays.” It’s not the only case of similar form factor that you can get 8 hot swap drive bays. There are literally tons of NAS case designs to choose from.

The problem isn’t with Nextcloud (I had the same issue happen with me). The problem is with the default sync settings on Thunderbird and DAVx5 (at least for me). Thunderbird defaulted to a longer than I wanted synch schedule, so I dropped it down to syncing every 15 minutes. DAVx5 was set to 240 minutes unless the event was created on my phone. Once I updated both schedules to every 15 minutes, I haven’t noticed an issue.

I use some of their switches using Home Assistant’s Homekit integration. Set them up on wifi in their app, add to HA, then block internet access in my router’s firewall. Kind of the best of both worlds at that point.
