It’s an unpopular opinion, but I agree with you. I’ve been running single disk Synology for a decade or so, replaced the original one about 4 years ago.
The software is pretty sleek and it would fit OPs requirements perfectly. I don’t care for some Intel based PC sucking kWhs of power each day, just to hosts some media.

True they abused the system. That wasn’t my point, which is that these high property taxes have a tendency to give high quality services to affluent neighbourhoods and low cost housing get low quality services.

It’s always funny when looking at the tax-system in the US from an EU perspective. Americans looking at any receipt they get in an EU country and immediately pointing out the huge VAT tariff.
Then one only needs to point to the property tax in the US.

Lol, folks don’t ‘need’ SUVs. When I was in NYC 2 years back, after not having been there for a few years, I couldn’t believe my eyes. The number of sheer gardensheds on wheels is hilarious. SUVs and ‘trucks’ are an American car manufacturers invention that have little to no basis in real world needs. All of you have been told you need it. That’s something different.

Personally, being from Europe, I’m not sure why we would need a pickup truck. I get it, insane tax reasons somehow are making those monstrosities quite popular in the Netherlands for example, but you never see the beds used.

When they’re up for renewal, they won’t be replaced with Teslas.

My LG OLED has never seen an internet connection and intend to keep it that way for a very long time: indefinitely.
