New drives are more like 20€ per TB. Factor in redundancy with something like raid 5 and boom, off-site storage costs you a government toppling 20 000€ in hard drives.

In my experience, it is not an issue. I turn the oven on when I want to start cooking and only then start gathering the items. By the time I want to stick something in the oven, it is already hot. Doesn’t work with frozen pizza tho

If you don’t have an oven with a fan/convection, then sure, get an additional appliance.

You can make stews, soups and other things one would use a slow cooker for by taking a stainless steel or some other not-made-of-plastic pot and sticking it in the oven

Rant about kitchen appliances:

People should learn to use the things they most probably already have in their kitchen.

1. slow cooker is just a tiny pot shaped low temperature oven with a timer

2. Air fryer is a tiny oven with a fan

Why do people get so hyped about a smaller and more limited version of the thing they already have? Just use your oven which most likely already has all these features. I haven’t seen an electric oven without a fan or without a timer in my lifetime

Ah, yes, lets generate more needless waste

It is doable, but it is a pain if the docker requires any special config like permanent storage. Getting nginx up and running for mTLS was especially annoying

Truenas Scale works well as long as you don’t want any dockers on it. Once you want to run docker images it is easier to install a VM on Truenas and run the docker from there than it is to try to set up custom “Apps”

And there probably are some free ones which still sell access to your home network/computer. Let’s protect kids harder by pushing them to download sketchy software!

Amphetamines and caffeine= sleepy time
