What software are you using

I have a hot storage NAS that backups to a warm storage NAS.

I backup every week and scrub every month.

I have 2 x ZFS1 pools that contains 3 x 20TB disks each.

With ECC ram, scrubbing, and independent pools, it’ll take a house fire to kill my local storage.

I also have a constant backing to Backblaze and yearly encrypted backup that I ship to a friend across the world.

Running a lot of DoH and DoT within my devices and my network

This is the exact script I use to install tailscale on my VPN server

Installing Tailscale

 curl -fsSL https://tailscale.com/install.sh | sh 

Enable IP forwarding

 echo 'net.ipv4.ip_forward = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
 echo 'net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1' | sudo tee -a /etc/sysctl.conf 
 sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.conf 

Advertise subenets and exit node

 tailscale up --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.0.0/24,192.168.2.0/28,192.168.5.0/24,192.168.10.0/24

It’s just the concept of additive color mixing vs subtractive color mixing.

Adding pigments together will ultimately create black. While adding more light together will ultimately make white.

With pigments you’re taking away from the color space. You paint red to subdue all other colors except for red.

But you use red light to make sure red is better seen.

I use it as my 2nd facor authentication.

NUCs have an iGPU, you should be fine.

I use OpenMediaVault for my NAS

But if you don’t want to be the IT of your family, I’d just go with an easy solution like WDs my cloud or one drive

Encoding uses the iGPU. The iGPU should usually support 4k 60fps if it’s a recent CPU.
