Weeell, zfs does bring a lot more to the table than mergerFS + snapRAID, e.g. snapshotting and scrubs/bitrot protection. But then again, it does so at a much higher price.
Imagine a NAS offering with this setup by default. Much more intuitive to users I would argue.
Agreed. unRAID has something very similar and even (slightly) better (their RAID syncs automatically, not on command). But then again, unRAID isn't FOSS.
And that, dear Ursula, is what happens if you bend the knee to the orange turd. You thought you appeased him? You emboldened him. He saw you fold, came back, demanded more - and will continue to do so. Maybe this time round you'll take a page from China's playbook: you stay rigid, and let him run into the wall, orange face first. Eventually, he'll TACO.
True, app installations don't happen very often for me either, but I don't see the harm in keeping Aurora around for it.
Regarding critically typically apps do warn you when it's the case, including financial apps. Usually if it's truly critical they'll stop working until you do update.
Typically these notifications are there to let you know that your app is terribly outdated and about to run into a breaking change (incompatibility between app and web-backend), not for security issues. I think it's very ill-advised to wait for something like that to happen, but you do you.
More installations through Aurora and, more critically, updates. Depending on what app we're talking about, this may be critical, particularly for financial apps.
wg-easy can greatly simplify your wireguard setup. Allows you to quickly generate access configs for friends and family on the fly (QR-codes, too). You still get access to post-up/-down hooks if you want tp create a more specialised deployment.
This right here. People tend to forget how controversial 10 was when introduced, and romanticise it after the fact. Case in point: Win 10's antifeatures alone - built-in keylogger, mandatory telemetry, "upgrade" nag screens with tons of dark patterns - all that convinced me to finally make the switch to Linux before Win 7 EOL'd in 2020.

Both are fine if they fit the layout of your media collection: Where Jellyfin requires you to have a certain file naming scheme and folder structure (and will cause absolute chaos on the metadata front if you haven't), Navidrome doesn't care about either and relies on ID3 tags instead. Also, Navidrome is a lot more light-weight than JF. I like to use it combined with the FOSS Tempus app (the latest in a long line of forks, and currently actively developed).
I stand corrected - thank you!
