    NFS is fantastic from a practical standpoint.

    Only if you don’t care about the NAS’es file permission management and have the same uid on all your systems mounting the same shares via NFS. Not sure if it’s different with other NAS implementations, but on my Synology DS415+ all files put on there via NFS get the UID from the source system. Which isn’t the UID of my user on the Synology.

    E.g. on my Raspberrys, my user usually is uid 1000 / gid 1000. But on my Synology, my user is uid 1026 / gid 100. So the integrated management tools (e.g. File Station) show mangled permissions as the user with uid 1000 is not known.

    And the only real solution to this is to use a Kerberos server - which I think is a bit overkill in a 1 user environment. idmap doesn’t really work on my NAS.

    The key component is some cheap DVB-T receiver with an RTL2832U chip and an R820T tuner. These things usually costed around 15€ but went up now as I just found out. Maybe there’s a newer/better combination for cheap now.

    Cut the small DVB-T antenna to 69mm length for optimal reception on 1090 MHz. Or build your own.

    Then you need dump1090 which is the tool using the receiver and tuning it to 1090 MHz to receive the ADS-B packages and decode them. It’s providing the decoded packages in different formats on different ports (30002 - RAW / 30003 - SBS / 30005 - Beast mode).

    And once this is running, you can just sign up to any ADS-B page, get your feeder ID, take their feeder software and point it to the correct port of dump1090. That’s basically it.

    I’ve created my own custom minimalistic containers for dump1090, fr24feed, pfclient and piaware, but you can find universal ones on Docker Hub. The services I feed to are:

    (Most of these sites give you premium access to their data in return.)

    Oh, and if you live near waterways, this totally works for ships, too. It’s just a different frequency (~162 MHz), so you’d need a second DVB-T dongle and different antenna (46.3cm). And the dump1090-equivalent there is called AIS-catcher. With that, you can feed to sites like ShipXplorer, MarineTraffic, etc…

    I’ve paid for Lifetime Plex when it was still cheap. And have Jellyfin running on the side to see what it has more to offer. (Also to test Swiftfin.) But as long as Plex “just works” for me, I will probably keep both. On Plex, I have shared libraries from a few friends.

    And there’s also Stash, but this has a completely different kind of library management. It allows for bookmarking specific timestamps, has video previews and other things.
