I use a mikrotik RB5009 for my 2.5gb routing. It technically can hit 10gbps via routing.

Mikrotik RB5009 is my router.

Moving to OPNsense

Play Stardew Valley with her

I got an iMovr Freedom base with a butchers block.

Weighs probably 100lbs, costs around 700-800, and as solid as can be.

USB inherently has latency issues and protocol overhead. Seems like you're restricted to hardware unfortunately.

See if seachest is compatible with your drives. I think it's only compatible with Exos.

Also are you running through USB?

What's your HDD model?

Try this in your SMB settings in OMV.

        socket options = TCP_NODELAY SO_RCVBUF=65536
    SO_SNDBUF=65536
    read raw = yes
    write raw = yes
    max xmit = 65535
    dead time = 15
    min receivefile size = 16384
    write cache size = 524288
    getwd cache = yes
    max connections = 65535
    max open files = 65535
    min protocol = smb3
    max protocol = smb3
  

What software are you using

I have a hot storage NAS that backups to a warm storage NAS.

I backup every week and scrub every month.

I have 2 x ZFS1 pools that contains 3 x 20TB disks each.

With ECC ram, scrubbing, and independent pools, it'll take a house fire to kill my local storage.

I also have a constant backing to Backblaze and yearly encrypted backup that I ship to a friend across the world.

Running a lot of DoH and DoT within my devices and my network

This is the exact script I use to install tailscale on my VPN server

Installing Tailscale

         curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh 
  

  

Enable IP forwarding

         echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
     echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
     sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf 
  

  

Advertise subenets and exit node

         tailscale up --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.0.0/24,192.168.2.0/28,192.168.5.0/24,192.168.10.0/24
  

It's just the concept of additive color mixing vs subtractive color mixing.

Adding pigments together will ultimately create black. While adding more light together will ultimately make white.

With pigments you're taking away from the color space. You paint red to subdue all other colors except for red.

But you use red light to make sure red is better seen.

I use it as my 2nd facor authentication.

Bitwarden with YubiKey

NUCs have an iGPU, you should be fine.

I use OpenMediaVault for my NAS

But if you don't want to be the IT of your family, I'd just go with an easy solution like WDs my cloud or one drive

Encoding uses the iGPU. The iGPU should usually support 4k 60fps if it's a recent CPU.

I've had this happen when I had ram issues. You can try doing a memory test if you want to take that out of the equation.

I'm assuming they're plain text. There's is no perceivable way they can only use those data points to to figure out which hash it is. Unless of course they're using their own "hashing" function which isn't secure at all since it's probably reversible.
