When Sears did it, they shipped you all the supplies to build a real house.

I haven’t done it other than for testing, but you can pair a fire Stick remote to a PC using Bluetooth and it works with Kodi.

Totally worth the subscription

I want to know more about this, but at the same time I really don’t.

This looks interesting, I hadn’t heard of it before. Do you know if they support sas controllers?

Totally a typo lol

Why would you not be able to continue chat from the phone? I don’t all the time.

Try getting a used server. You can find one on labgopher. For the budget you have, don’t expect something great but it’ll be a start.

As a stepfather to 3 over 2 marriages, just treat them like people with respect and support them as much as possible. It can be hard, but try to give guidance without trying to impose authority. Love them.

That makes sense. I’m a lazy guy and I didn’t want to try testing so I went with a known quantity.

You should take a look at getting sas enclosures. They’re pretty cheap, like $200 for a 16 bay. That will be so much more reliable.

Exactly this.

I want something like this with a sas HBA and a slot for a GPU

Yes.

Here’s my advice. The most important things are that you have a free GPU slot and another PCIE slot on whatever you get. You’re going to want a GPU for transcoding when disk space gets tight. You want the extra PCIE slot for a sas card. Disk shelves are surprisingly cheap, and you can keep adding disk that way. They daisy chain.

As far as the OS, I’m partial to Unraid and Truenas but seriously, anything you are comfortable with will work.

From the picture in that article, those guns would blow up in the shooter’s hand.
