I’m aware of my options. But switching 4 people who won’t install anything I ask them to is not a battle I’m going to fight over this.

I also think that it’s, for the most part, money that deserves to be paid. They, amazingly, still provide a product that I appreciate and use daily. It’s Google, so at some point there will come a tipping point where I decide it isn’t worth it, I’m sure.


While the $4 increase on my family plan gives a bit of “oof”, between YT Music use and just watching videos daily, it’s still worth what I’ll be paying. And yes, yes, I know I should degoogle more completely, but with a house full of teens, that just isn’t an option right now.


You say that like anyone considering stealing it would be a rational and semi-intelligent person. But this is America.


Preface: goodness do I hate scrum/agile, but…

It might help if you were to give some idea of how much work you think each would take. T-shirt sizing, as they like to say. I doubt anyone would want to see you sink tons of time into a low value feature.

For your own benefit, maybe add each feature as a top level comment. That way you can just sort by upvotes.



Yeah, I didn’t need anything more than the Docker features, so I didn’t bother with Zima. Like with Yuno, Zima is a whole distro on its own instead of an app that can be easily uninstalled.

Was it issues with installing apps or something else?


I will suggest CasaOS. It installs easily, then essentially has an app store (you can add other store sources too). For me it was a gentle way of getting used to the ideas around Docker and how to work with containers. After a bit, you’ll get to where you can set up containers for apps not in the store. Then you might create a whole stack for your Arrs suite. And then maybe you outgrow it entirely. It’s just an app, unlike Yuno, which is a whole distro if I recall correctly.

For public exposure, I use Cloudflare tunnels. Pretty easy to set up (there is a CasaOS package for cloudflared), though the Cloudflare side can get confusing depending on what you want to do.


I often keep Krusteaz around (habit from years of 3 small kids), but I don’t really care for it. It’s too sweet. I’d much rather use Bisquick or Jiffy.




Yeah, I’m not worried about how it plays so much as how it feels. I’m old and I don’t want to strain to read tiny text.


I’ll tell you which games I’m most looking forward to revisiting:

  • X-Men Legends
  • Baten Kaitos: Eternal Wings and etc.
  • Eternal Darkness
  • Pikmin
  • Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess

And then a couple that I don’t think I ever played:

  • Geist
  • Sphinx & the Curse Mummy

This is pretty much the same setup I have. 2 bay Synology NAS for storage, mini PC (8gb ram, currently at 48% usage) for applications. Also added an external SSD that I had kicking around.

I’m running:

  • gluetun
  • sonarr
  • radarr
  • seerr
  • Jellyfin
  • deluge
  • sabnzbd
  • Navidrome
  • audiobook shelf
  • Calibre Web advanced
  • komga
  • adguard home (and sync)
  • wiki.js
  • zoraxy (reverse proxy)
  • dockhand
  • MeTube
  • homarr
  • dotdash
  • freshrss
  • mealie

And then using Synology packages for Drive and Photos.


I’m waiting (and waiting and waiting) on mine. I got it mostly for GameCube, but looking forward to some PSP and PS2 as well.

I went with the orange because I always wanted a Spice colored GC. This is as close as I will ever get.



Honestly, the tape idea is one of the most practical ones in the thread!


I love the 35xx series. I went up to the RG40V or whatever it is with 1 stick. it’s fine, but I wish I had kept my 35XX. It’s really just the perfect size and power of you’re looking for on-the-go retro gaming.


Yeah, I’m currently using Wiki.js. I will definitely check out how you’ve got things organized. It looks really good!


Without really knowing much about it, I just always figured it was overkill for me. Plus I don’t know that I’d even consider myself much more of a beginner with Docker. But you all are making me consider looking into it.


Ha. I’ve been reading through thinking, “Yeah, maybe I should finally look into Ansible.” And then I get here. :D
