lol. I love it.

At first, absolutely. Very frustrating, kept feeling the pull back you-know-where. But then after a while, it became kind of a zen thing, if i’m using that word properly? It gives me time to breath a bit, rather than just doom scrolling at an increasing rate.
Maybe kind of part of the Lemmy Ritual? Maybe I’m strange.
Even the pre-iPhone ones were pretty crazy. He’d make you want to go out and buy the thing even if you didn’t need it. I distinctively remember going and “finding” a beta of OSX before it was publicly released after seeing one of his first key notes back (I don’t exactly remember why I was there, but I was). [“…It’s Liquid- makes you want to lick it…”]
looking back, kind of scary really…
For what it’s worth, Time Machine doesn’t seem to care as much which file system it goes to anymore, as long as it goes over SMB.
There are specific config settings to make it work , but nearly all servers , including synology, will have a button that does whatever the magic combo is.
There are lots of them out there.
For example passmark is one of many.

I just go find my CPU and use the number to compare to eBay listings. Is it perfect? No.
But it gives you an idea. Each site has some set of algorithms and they get a score for how quickly it can execute on that hardware.
Some of them they allow users to run their system and submit numbers so you get a better sense.
I’ve tried a few of the things you mention over the years.
However, I’ve lately gotten into the used business PCs. The performance of even a 6th get Intel CPU more than double an RPI4 or the ATOM in my NAS, depending on how you count. Sure, it’s quite a bit more power, and they have their place (RPI in the garage), but I’ve gotten a few SFFs that have room for multiple HDs for like $50-$60 shipped, as long as i’m patient, since I don’t care for the windows license.
The CPU benchmark sites are what convinced me that more SBCs was not the solution for me.
I also tell myself that i’m recycling what could have been ewaste otherwise. I am afraid to calculate the energy cost.
I’ll buy it… when it’s off PS5…
Thanks Bot!! that was awesome.
Still - a very odd choice of graph. Don’t really account for the market share - and it looks like the two things being compared are stacked?
Not saying the conclusion is wrong. But an odd choice.
