Many admins say it is a lot of work and they put a lot of effort, money and energy in it. Some even close their instance after few years, because it is just too much.
I would say you should limit the number of active accounts. Probably to a few hundred at most in the beginning. Close registration when things start to become too much. Re-evaluate periodically and re-open as necessary/desired. There’s no reason you have to allow thousands of people on your instance.
Fair enough, mate. Good luck.
especially w/ fast NVMe drives as swap
These won’t be fast, as detailed in the OP:
Since Intel’s Alder Lake-N processors only have 9 PCIe lanes which have to be shared between the SSDs and other hardware, the M.2 slots include five PCIe 3.0 single-lane connections, and one PCIe 3.0 x2 connection
I mean, that’s fine if that works for you, but consider more than just your current situation. If you ever wanted to upgrade it or it ever failed sometime in the future, you’d be boned. Personally I have had RAM fail and it cost me about $8 and 10 minutes to repair, rather than several hundred dollars replacing the entire machine.
Again, not necessarily. I have something very similar I use as a server.
Yes, for purposes of noise, size, speed and power efficiency
Depends on your usecase. This could very well be more than just a NAS.
Solderer ram is slightly more power efficient.
That may be true but I don’t really care either way.
And this is probably a laptop board.
Pretty sure a laptop board would not fit in this thing. It’s most definitely a dedicated board for this machine.
Though an N200 CPU does not have much headroom to upgrade for anyway.
You can use at least 32GB.
Bout Tree fiddy?
The ME mini features 12GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory, which means the RAM will be soldered to the mainboard and not user upgradeable.
Aaaaand I’m out.
Edit: Hijacking my own comment to update the update
Update: The Beelink ME mini is priced at 1295 CNY in China, which is about $177 at the current exchange rate. It’s likely to cost a bit more outside of China.
Your podcasts are already hosted on another server. Why bother duplicating them if they’re not local?
GSConnect also works for Gnome.
Yeah that’s what I thought 😞
I don’t have another drive.
No, where am I supposed to sync the data to?
Aren’t those for syncing data, not migrating data?
Can you migrate Synology data? I haven’t ever found a way.
Extremely well. Not perfect.
FUTO Voice and Transcribro both use it but they run on device.
How will they detect “VPN traffic”?
