  • I’ve been running an HP ProDesk 600 G4 mini (i5-8500T, 32 GB RAM) for a few years now and am very happy. I bought it with 8 or 16 GB RAM and a 256 GB M.2 for 140 €. It can fit one 2.5" SATA drive and two M.2 2280 drives. I have it running 24/7/365 with 2x2 TB M.2 SSDs and a 256 GB boot SSD and it usually uses around 7 Watts.

    If you want to go the HP route, ProDesk 600 and EliteDesk 800 have two M.2 slots, while the ProDesk 400 only has one.

    Alternatively, Lenovo and Dell also have similar formfactor PCs, but I don’t remember their names.

    Performance wise, the 8th gen i5 is more than fine for TrueNAS and 10-15 docker containers.














  • Users who aren’t verified as adults will not be able to access age-restricted servers and channels, won’t be able to speak in Discord’s livestream-like “stage” channels, and will see content filters for any content Discord detects as graphic or sensitive. They will also get warning prompts for friend requests from potentially unfamiliar users, and DMs from unfamiliar users will be automatically filtered into a separate inbox.

    That shouldn’t be too restricting for people using discord to chat with their friends though.




  • My router (FRITZ!Box) provides entities for all network devices, whether they are currently connected to the network or not.

    I trigger all my stuff on when my phone connects/disconnects to my home WiFi. For me this is the best, simplest and least error prone way.

    For your use case this would mean needing to have WiFi reception outside your house / in front of your garage, and having your phone reliably and quickly connect to the WiFi when you get home, which might not work great, depending on the strength of your WiFi outside your house.
