+
+I've been using a Synology NAS for a few years now.
+It served me well, but I never liked the UI... or the lack of ZFS.
+
+With the comming of autumn (which can't come soon enough) I am starting to prepare to build a desktop for myself.
+I don't really need it, but I've never did it before.
+Somehow I always had someone to do it for me, and them the era if notebooks came upon us.
+
+But this makes me think if I still need a NAS?
+My synology just sits in the corner and serves movies to TV and backups photos.
+None of this requires a 24/7 on device, and serving movies in 2024 is pretty taxing on the little fella.
+Too taxing, since transcoding a 10 bit HVEC monster in real time is impossible.
+Having a dedicated GPU for that would solve, so I'd install jellyfin on my new desktop either way.
+
+I also don't have that many hard drives - just 4, plus 2 SSDs for cache.
+Any decent non-gamer oriented case would accomodate that.
+I'd need one that *also* fits a pretty Radeon, as Baldur 3 seems to be must play for me.
+I don't care about big AAA games, so other that BG3, I'd most likely mostly play whatever [[https://adventuregamers.com/][Adventure Gamers]] rates high.
+
+How dumb idea is this?
+Is there any downside?
+I have no idea!
+
+I would not be able to run thigs like photo gallery for my family, but I could relegate a Raspberry Pi just for this.
+We are currently using Apple something something, so it's also not all the photos out there.
+Or I could go crazy with it, and get myself a very small PC and treat is firewall/server.
+Just decouple the storage.

All those were effective for a few days, but none of them stayed with me.
Anyway, here are 7 habbits of very effective people who follow Murakami's schedule for a week and it changed their lives.
