Because I have to for some things. If I could never see a CLI again I'd be happy.

Streaming services let you just mark playlists for offline use, I have my whole spotify library offline.
You only need to do this in a specific scenario, "Note: If you are running your database with a non-superuser role for Immich"
If you're running the docker stack that immich provides you don't need to do this.
Have you tried the Immich app? I know in general iOS has such restrictive power management that syncing can be unreliable.
They have mentioned that once out of dev/alpha status they will figure out proper release versioning so you can pin a major version and not get breaking changes.
Hmm good point they generally don't need it
Given that you have to pump up the boost a lot to hear anything, I suspect the mic is not getting phantom power? XLR is usually 48V, whereas mic jack plug in power is usually only 5V or so.
Used enterprise SSDs is what I'm running, bit of work to filter down the results on eBay though.
Basically you're getting 477MB/s for a sequential read, which is spot on for a SATA SSD.
What size are the files you were transferring when you only got 150Mbps? Also did you mean Mb/s or MB/s? There's an 8x difference between the two.
There is a LOT to learn to start self-hosting, that's for sure. With most stuff you definitely need at least basic knowledge of how your network functions, ports, NAT, and that kind of stuff.
Plex external access needs a port opened in your router to the plex server, it will try and do that automatically with UPnP but in some cases that's disabled and you need to setup NAT (port forward) manually. Your ISP could also be using CGNAT which means you can't open ports at all, but buying a static IP should make sure that's not the case (although you certainly don't specifically need a static IP for Plex). Often the message in Plex is wrong and will say remote access isn't working when it is in my experience.
Depending on your router/modem there may be some kind of security system running on it and that could be interfering with Plex as well.
Doing some external testing with a port scan on the plex port against your internet IP might help tell you something to figure out what's going on.
The *arrs not moving files or picking up watch folders is usually a permissions issue between the user they are running as, and your file/folder permissions for the source/destination folders. Windows definitely makes this simpler as you don't run into that issue as long as you're using an administrator account that has access to everything.
I've never used tdarr, but wouldn't your DVD rip software already be doing the encode for you anyways? You can also configure your DVD software to name the files and place them in the plex media folder, instead of the extra step of using radarr/sonarr to do it, since those are more for internet download organization.
Plex can also grab subtitles for you, at least that's how I manage mine.
The problem is you'd need someone to do maintenance and updates too, because stuff can/does break and if you didn't set it up, you won't know how to fix it.
You can sign up with a Nextcloud hosting provider for access to files, notes, photo management, calendar, contacts, etc..
For email I recommend a solid provider like mailbox.org or skiff.com
For video streaming with Plex and the supporting *arrs you can install all of those on windows AFAIK, so you can probably do those yourself with minimal effort on learning new things.
Nextcloud for me too, would break because of updates requiring manual DB updates sometimes, apps would randomly stop working after updating too, or the 2 times it caused total data loss on all my synced devices and the server itself which required a full restore from backups.
After getting rid of it and switching to Syncthing + Filebrowser + SFTPGo for WebDAV I haven't really had anything break since then (about a year now). Stuff also runs much faster, NC was extremely slow even on good hardware with all their recommended settings for performance.
