deeper hole, longer anchor (and longer screws) to take into account the ~10mm of plaster. If the brick is also soft your drill bit may be making a larger diameter hole than intended - careful drilling will be needed.

The anchor should be tight and need to be hammered in until the lip is flush with the surface.

10TB. 80% full. I have 2TB that I can add if I need. At this point I've maintained 80% for about 1 year.

I like email.

I pay for my own domain. I pay a privacy focused European provider for email and they let me use my own domain. I use an European DNS provider.

So I have email addresses with my own domain and the setup is pretty straightforward and I can use webmail or a desktop|mobile client.

I have a 16GB ram HP t630 running vaultwarden (bought for £50) and some other stuff and a HP ProDesk 400 G5 16GB ram (bought for £100) running jellyfin & immich. They're great. I also have a Wyse 3040 that I intend to run as pihole, just haven't got round to it yet.

I used a 3040 to run a vaultwarden install and a web server. I switched to something more powerful (more ram, more ssd, faster CPU) and added jellyfin, a file server, and some *arr apps. I still have the 3040, thinking about putting pihole on it.
