I played the first Zelda for half a year and Ocarina of Time, but also lots of ego shooters like Doom, Doom Eternal, all the classic Dooms, Quake, Duke3D, etc. And Animal Crossing. And racers and space games.

Acetone and/or floss (“sawing” through the glue under the battery). That’s how iFixIt instructed to remove a battery from a 2016 MacBook Pro that was also fixated using nasty sticky tape.

I’ve got my Switch since 2018 and am still on my first (Splatoon-edition, bought shortly after the Switch) Joycons. No problems, no drifting. And the OEM Joycons are in a drawer somewhere as backup.

Not sure how Docker behaves, but in a Stack/Compose file you can define volumes to use a specific driver, such as smb. E.g.:

volumes:
  smb-calibre:
    driver_opts:
      type: "smb3"
      device: "//mynas/ebooks/CalibreDB"
      o: "ro,vers=3.1.1,addr=192.168.1.1,username=mbirth,password=secret,cache=loose,iocharset=utf8,noperm,hard"

So Docker will take care of mounting. Paired with restart: unless-stopped, all my Containers come back online just fine after an outage.

I've setup Dovecot and Solr in Docker containers for the IMAP end. Solr provides a fulltext search for Dovecot. I've also configured a virtual "All Mail" folder that shows all the messages on the server - to help with clients that don't support search in all folders.

As webmail client, I'm using SnappyMail and let it search the "All Mail" folder.

Of course. The original OS, Terramaster OS (TOS), is Linux based and you can replace it with other plain Linux versions or a NAS-specific distro such as OMV or UnRAID.

Since this is basically an Intel NUC, even Windows might run on the thing.

I'm looking at the TerraMaster F4-423 which is basically an Intel NUC soldered to a SATA controller. It has 4x 3.5" SATA bays, an internal USB slot for the OS, 2x m.2 slots, HDMI output, 2x 2.5G LAN, etc. Comes with 4GB RAM, supports up to 32GB. I think it's the smallest NAS with custom OS you can get.

I've bought a Synology DS415+ back in December 2014. So it just turned 9 and it's still kicking. (Even with the C2000 fix.)

Although Synology stopped delivering updates, I'll keep it as long as it does what I need it to. However, my next device will be a TerraMaster where I'll install OMV on. Can't get a NAS with custom OS in a smaller form factor.

@shiftymccool@lemm.ee It's now 24 hours later - what do you think? I'm also running a NextCloud to run PhoneTrack. I had a customised version of php-tracks-recorder before that, but wanted something for multiple devices/users and with a bit more features.
