I did perfect media server It's got mergerfs for splitting data and using disks in various sizes .and snapraid for a level of redundancy. Tho raid isn't backup.
That said I'm now running this setup on a n100 machine with a qnap tl-800c jbod USB c box.
Works great for downloads / Plex and home server needs.
The b100 chip isn't amazing... Don't get me wrong but it works really well for Plex.
Hope this all makes sense. I'm on mobile with out my glasses. Lol
Pihole on your network... And block Internet access to the TV..
Tho.. a while back the wife and I bought a dirt cheap 32 inch TV from bestbuy.. it will literally turn itself on to deliver an advertisement if you power it off while in an app. (Skipping the home page)
Pihole crashes it.
We bought it for watching football outside so it's unplugged for the majority of the year.. but that's still absolutely unacceptable. Imho
