Shop.com has a great service that combs through my email and tracks everything I’ve ordered and when it’s coming. It even has access to my Amazon account directly since their tracking isn’t in the email. You’d need a service that can do that without selling your entire purchase history to anyone who’s interested. Good luck.


80-100 watts at idle which is most of the time. Two OS drives, two fast drives, two spinners, lots of networking and always syncing with the rest of the cluster.
I’ve run OPNsense, PFsense, OpenWRT, and high end consumer routers and I’ve found Unifi the most stable. I’m also less able to screw it up and I’ve had to divert functions to VMs because I couldn’t do it on my UDM. But having Internet service fail over with notifications that the normies in the house can understand is helpful. Then being able to find the WI-FI password for the Iot network from the app is helpful. VLANS by port through a pretty simple WebUI is helpful. Their handing of power (do they support NUT yet?) and redundant links is less good. I get errors when I have two routes between switches like I broke something. I’ve brought the network down due to STP not stopping loops but I also don’t know what the hell I’m doing. I’d do it again though.
For NAS, ceph storage plus NextCloud plus WebDAV has been good lately but I’m sure I’m leaving performance on the table. It’s just hard to break.
