    I just did something sort of like what you are doing and after a few hiccups, it’s working great. My Synology just couldn’t handle transcoding with docker containers running in the background.

    Couple differences from your plan: I chose a N100 over the N150 because it used less power and I wasn’t loading up CPU dependent tasks on the thing. The N150 is about 30% faster if memory serves, but draws more power. Second, do you really need a second m.2 SSD BTRFS volume? Your Synology is perfectly capable of being the file storage. I’d personally spend the money you’d save buying a smaller N150 device on a tasty drive to expand the existing capacity then start a second pool from scratch.

    Finally, I wouldn’t worry about converting media unless you are seriously pinched for space. Every time you do, you lose quality.




  • If I understand this study correctly, this is an increase of 11-14 bike commuters per mile of bike lane with a population density of 2,750 a square mile.

    My city has 400 miles of bike lanes, therefore we should see an uptick in 5,600 riders?

    I’m not sure how this study anticipates other factors limiting utilization such as economic status, weather, or city population size/density but it stands to reason that while a few more bike commuters can be coaxed out of hiding, there are very likely diminishing returns for investment costs and with 2 data points, the projected trajectory is not as linear as the study implies.







  • Ditto to your comment except power usage. I moved my Plex/Jellyfin (and hopefully Immich soon) docker containers to an N100 for the hardware acceleration. TDP is 6 watts on some of these devices and CPU use sits around 2% unless Plex is doing DB optimizations (about 60% for a bit). I haven’t measured consumption or my older server, but I feel moving some CPU intensive services to hardware GPU is saving a few watts.
